*Parikrama* has been chosen by *MICR0$0FT* to do a song for them (not a jingle) for the worldwide release of their 3 new software. The song is about the life of a programmer, the way he thinks, and the way he is, after all. The song is called *SUPERHERO*, it would be band's first release after But it rained. It would be available for free download on the Micro$oft site, in a few days and thereafter on www.parikrama.com.
The 3 new software would be released in *Bangalore* on the 09th of December. There would be a full-fledged Parikrama performance for 5000 odd Micro$oft people on that day and *Mr. Gates* himself would be present there.
The band just had 2 days to make the song, record it and give it to Micro$oft after the approval of the lyrics. (Read the lyrics herehttp://www.gigpad.com/parsuperlyrics.doc ) -- Apoorva Kulkarni ozzman[AT]phenix[dot]rootshell[dot]be

Well power to Parikrama then. Their last song (but it rained) was good. But this is totally irrelevant to this list.

At best this mail is offtopic and irrelevant to the linux world. "World Domination" is not one of FOSS goals solving problems is. At worst this is a well disguised M$ ad.
To make this more relevant to this list, may I also point out, that India's biggest FOSS conference is happening for *4 days* from Nov 29 - Dec 2. Also it is expected to attaract more people than the figures M$ "marketing" has published. You can register at http://foss.in/2005/delegates/
--> Vinayak H ps: BTW we have Alan Cox, Dave Philips, Danese Cooper and Brian Behlendorf talking to the conference *and* the Indian Govt is *the principal sponser*.

Couldn't help but laugh. Anyway, why did they have to give out the lyrics in .doc format? They should've put up a pdf or .txt! :P
