if you love the office 2007 ribbon UI, you can now pep it with Search Commands from Microsoft. I have downloaded it and installed it. The best part is the search results actually does the work instead of guiding me to choose some thing from the ribbon. I find this feature more useful!

Every Saturday and Sunday, I make sure I take my kids somewhere out could be beach or play area or open ground. Last week, we went to beach and I noticed a kid 8 years crying and searching her parents. She was playing in the beach and somehow missed them. people who were in the beach suggested me to take it to the police station. She started crying immediately as not to handover to the police. Guess, the parents would have threatened her many times to handed it over to police for all odd issues. I gave her some water and asked to her to sit. I asked her if she knew some telephone number. I realized that she could not speak Tamil and speaks Hindi. All my Mumbai trips Hindi came handy and spoke to her. Whether I spoke to her correctly or not, she understood and gave the number. she gave me a nine digit number and told her to think and give me 10 digits. finally I got the number correct and could not talk for 15 minutes thanks to network coverage and congestion. I somehow managed to speak to that number and asked them to come to the place. She identified her grandfather and asked them to be more careful. I was very happy to see a big grin on her face and it was a indeed a emotional moment for me.
