What do they believe in? Why are they doing this? What do they expect to achieve? And as any good netizen, I asked...

    As we have always been targeted by the terrorists since Independence, here is another tragic incident of horrible, horrible slaying of scores of innocent men and women.

    Today morning I got a call from a student whom I have been mentoring for his academic project. He wants to build a company and is planning to develop a web application for the SMB segment.

We can choose to receive updates from people we are interested...
