After using kovilpillai@usa.net for sometime, I created my Yahoo!Mail email Id. I think I had hotmail account also but I was comfortable with Yahoo! Mail. And then gMail came with some cool features, especially the storage. I still kept my Yahoo!Mail as a primary email id. And slowly(!) gMail overtook other email service providers and become very famous. It has been just few years since I started using gMail, merely because of the free pop service. I tried rediff and indiatimes too. Never felt great about them.




Few days back, I got an email from Yahoo!Mail thanking me for using Yahoo!Mail for more than 10 years. That was a "wow" moment for me, not because I got an email from Yahoo! but I have been using email for more than a decade. I tried Yahoo!Mail in iPhone and the desktop version. It is lot more matured to compete against gMail. Though gMail got lots of features, I still prefer Yahoo!Mail, because I am one of those who love Yahoo! Mail. It just got whatever I want to have.

A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
