So, this stop is Anushaktinagar Bus Stop (or Bus Depo). Walk _towards_ Mankhurd Station, you'll spot HBCSE towards your right from the stop. Alternatively, if the frequency of this bus is very bad, and you are located near to the railway station, you could catch a bus to ghatkopar (W) (302), and we could meet up and catch 380 from Ghatkopar (E) to anushaktinagar. :) -- http://sankoobaba.blogspot.com __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Home Icon starts XMMS
by A A 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Hi all, Until a few days ago, clicking on the Home icon on the desktop opened the home directory. Don't know what happened but now clicking on it launches XMMS player. If I right click on Home icon and choose Properties to associate application and without making any changes just close it, then it opens XMMS and some 2 secs later it opens the home directory? What must have gone wrong here? Has it got some link for XMMS? How to undo this? Thanks all. AA --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo!

No credit card / No proof / Payment (some 330Rs for 1 year) by Tel bill. Within 2days I received PIN by post and at first I tried with Firefox and it didnt work and PIN got used and hence disabled. So I wrote them e-mail and then they resetted the PIN within 3-4 hrs. Then I used IE and it worked. Was able to create certificate. Exported it, imported to Firefox and Adobe reader for Linux, signed forms and used it on MCA site (Forms submitted by IE as site was using ActiveX) and also used it for Income tax e-filing (worked great with Firefox) Amish.
