aye dil hain muskil....

"Aye dil hain muskil jeena yahan, zara hatke zara bachke ye hain bambai meri jaan" this verses from Mazrooh Sultanpuri is getting it's literal meaning now. Mumbai is teaching the world a new way of fighting the menace of terrorism.
Mumbaikars have proved their mettle that they are not going to be defeated by the handful of craps. They are giving a new dimension to the philosophy of life and death, writing a new chapter of humanity.
Where can we see... Four badly injured carrying an almost dead person to hospital and that too with all care to make him live. Those crappy terrorists are denied success. This all can happen in Mumbai... and we here with full throat can proudly say "salaam mumbai"

...

There is a thin line between success and failure...

Soooooo... at last Italy won the much coveted league of the world soccer and that too with a very thin line difference. Success is always there in the middle of that proportion and it cheats someone to bestow others.
France was six inches behind their success and this proved a really huge gap for them.
Well... no matter how one gets to that dais, world is with the people out there.
kudos to them !!!

firefox crashes!!!

I updated firefox to 1.5.0.4 on my fedora core box. To my surprise firefox is crashing with the following error message.


/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I checked in the /usr/lib directory and found that the concerned library is not there. It is really frustrating to know that firefox 1.5.0.4 will not work with the latest libstdc++ library.

With some googling and my friend Subhash's advice of installing backward compatible libstdc++ library rpm, problem is sorted out and now firefox is working as usual. :-)

$ yum install compat-libstdc
This is the command which did trick for me.


cheers,
make world open
