Summarize

Did you ever use this tool in Word?  I used to play around with a similar function in Mac OS X when it was known as Rhapsody before it was launched.  There used to be a slider which you could move up or down depending on how much or little you wanted as your summary.  Now I'm not trying to rub your noses in it and I'm not sure how long this function has been available in Word.  Honest! :D Thought that all you working sorts would find it useful.   Found the link to AutoSummarize a Word Document in one of my favourite sites LifeHacker.

The bracelets

This one is for Harry.

Everyone that evening was enamored with these bracelets including Ashu! Shiti had me take this and a few other photographs so that you could go to the junk jewelery market in Hong Kong and pick them up for her. For more details contact Shiti.

It's been a while since i made a post here. I've now sort of given up on getting you guys to make a post but more than that one two three others that i have started are keeping me busy :P Here's a new pict. We have a chota pukur in front our apartment and i took a couple of photographs on one of our visits. The current plot is to plan a move in a week. If you check out this post you'll see that it is bare and since our container wont arrive for a month we'll have a few weeks of bare. Ramesh and I are really looking forward to moving out of the hotel.
