It was really a great night with cousins and friends.
We were playing music and also watching the Cricket Match (India vs Pakistan – India Lost).
But it was fun talking and dancing and eating yummmyy food…..
we all had a blast, but i would like to share this small video that plays the Birdy Dance Song and we all dancing to its beats… enjoy!!!
Lets all dance on the Oldest and Enjoyable Song – The Birdy Dance
I have been doing some web applications lately, and wanted to compress my Javascript and CSS files so that page loads are quicker and also the files are cached at all times.
So i thought to myself, that we could truncate the JS and CSS files by removing the unwanted spaces and characters.
The script will allow you to manage easily your Javascript and CSS resources and to reduce the amount of data transferred between the server and the client.
We can say that the performance is better but not the best, but it works.
You would see a slight reduce in time between the server and the client.
In CSS files there are no problems, but in case of Javascript there may some problems where single line comments are used like ‘// comment ‘.
Therefore always use multi line comments like /* comment */ if you want to use this script
ALL THE BEST…
HAPPY SCRIPTING…..
Do keep sharing!!!
mount mary church
The Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount, more commonly known as Mount Mary, is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Mumbai, India.
The church is one of the most visited churches in the city located in the suburb of Bandra. Every September, the feast of St. Mary is celebrated on the Sunday following 8 September, the birthday of the Virgin Mary. This is a week long celebration known as the Bandra Fair and is visited by thousands of people.
The church stands on a hillock about 80 metres above sea level overlooking the Arabian Sea. It draws lakhs of devotees and pilgrims annually. Many faithful attest to the miraculous powers of St. Mary.
During the Bandra Fair, tens of thousands visit the shrine. The shrine attracts people from all faiths who pray to the statue for thanksgiving or requesting of favors.
In 1760, the church was rebuilt and the statue was substituted with a statue of Our Lady of Navigators in St. Andrew’s church nearby.
This statue has an interesting legend. It goes that a Koli fisherman dreamt that he would find a statue in the sea. The statue was found floating in the sea between 1700 and 1760. A Jesuit Annual Letter dated to 1669 and published in the book St. Andrew’s Church, Bandra (1616–1966) supports this claim.
This is the most awaited event of the year is come up. Popularly known as the Bandra Fair, the festival is celebrated on Mother Mary’s birth anniversary and people of all faiths throng to seek her blessing.
The streets take on a carnival-like atmosphere, with shops and mini-bazaars offering everything from food (yummy), shopping opportunities (@ good prices) and joyrides (super enjoyment).
Street plays, musical concerts, book readings and food festivals also become a part of the celebrations.
Ajax, sometimes written as AJAX (shorthand for asynchronous JavaScript and XML), is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications or rich Internet applications.
With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.

XML-RPC and XML-RPC Server Classes
What is XML-RPC?
Quite simply it is a way for two computers to communicate over the internet using XML. One computer, which we will call the client, sends an XML-RPC request to another computer, which we will call the server. Once the server receives and processes the request it will send back a response to the client.
For example, using the MetaWeblog API, an XML-RPC Client (usually a desktop publishing tool) will send a request to an XML-RPC Server running on your site. This request might be a new weblog entry being sent for publication, or it could be a request for an existing entry for editing. When the XML-RPC Server receives this request it will examine it to determine which class/method should be called to process the request. Once processed, the server will then send back a response message.
For detailed specifications, you can visit the XML-RPC site: http://www.xmlrpc.com/
This can be easily implemented using CodeIgniter’s framework: http://codeigniter.com/
CodeIgniter’s XML-RPC classes permit you to send requests to another server, or set up your own XML-RPC server to receive requests. Overview XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Calling protocol that works over the Internet.
http://www.codeignitor.com/user_guide/libraries/xmlrpc.html
An XML-RPC message is an HTTP-POST request. The body of the request is in XML. A procedure executes on the server and the value it returns is also formatted in XML. Procedure parameters can be scalars, numbers, strings, dates, etc.; and can also be complex record and list structures.
