Acid2 test for Web browsers.

I came across an interesting piece of info when browsing on cnet.com. I'd just started using a new browser called Safari, from Apple. I was checking reviews of Safari on cnet.com. The review mentioned something called an Acid2 test. It's a test put out by the Web Standards Project to determine whether one's browser is up to date. I had fun doing the test as I have Internet Explorer, Firefox as well as Safari, now, on my computer. So I tested all 3 browsers. All of you could try it too, just for fun. Happy testing:)!

Mall hopping!

I have to confess I am a mall rat. There's a certain joy in strolling around malls, gazing at the shops, taking in the aromas at the food courts. My favourite malls in Bombay are InOrbit at Malad and Infiniti at Lokhandwala (Wonder why the Cinemax housed in the mall is called Cinemax, Versova? My guess is because Versova is even more upmarket than Lokhandwala!)

Speaking of InOrbit, it has to be one of the best managed and maintained malls in Bombay, if not the outright best. There are a few good shops there as well. The Imagine Store, which retails Apple products is one I frequent. I also liked this concept store called the Colour Factory, where one can paint one's own ceramic articles, available in different shapes and have them fired and glazed for a small amount. Pretty neat concept and makes for highly personalised gifts for family and friends. Among the food shops I'd recommend the Nando's restaurant and the Gelato shop which has definitely among the best gelatos in the suburbs.

Infiniti is another favourite, largely due to the Landmark there. It's a treat to browse among their huge collection of books and music CDs. It also has some decent food outlets and a large Westside. The Cinemax is good as well.

The mall I'm curious and excited about nowadays is the Oberoi mall on the highway at Goregaon. It's taken some time to come up and opened a few days back. It has a Lifestyle store, Bombay's first Central store (Hyderabad and Bangalore residents would know what I'm talking about) and a PVR cinema. What I'm more interested in knowing is about the food court and the othere shops there. In fact I'll be checking it out today and will blog on it soon.

Well that's it for now. Take care. See ya!
