After upgrading my blog to wordpress 2.7, I have been trying out various features. I am very much impressed with the features and new admin dashboard. Also, came across an article on CNN mentioning about 1,000 newly discovered species along with photos. It is a bit of co-incident that I read Bindu's blog post called 'A Midnight Turtle walk' and CNN's rare species discovery news. Tried embedding the CNN photos object on my blog and it looks just too good and way too easy to embed such photo … Read more… about Newly discovered species
Open book exams
My first semester concluded yesterday with the final exam. For me, this is the first time appearance in Open book exams.
