KEMR stands for Krishnamurti ,Einstein, Mozart and Russell and points to my Homepage about these four persons.

Words in this color indicates that it has a translation available as it is in Tamil. The English meaning is in the form of tool tip when the mouse is hovering in that word. Though I used it only in this page about my Home Town Srivilliputtur .

I tried my best to make sure that the site looks same in most of the browsers ( Mozilla 1.1, IE5.5, Netscape 6 and Opera 6 ). I removed browser specific features so as to avoid putting that annoying Best viewed with . But still my favourite of them all is Mozilla which is really good and an open source software also.

Tim Bernes Lee said the following about browser compatibility. This can be found along with many other interesting questions in an FAQ page www here .

What do you make of the branding attempt of companies, by putting little icons on their home pages saying, "best when viewed with Microsoft Explorer, or Navigator?"

"This comes from an anxiousness to use the latest proprietary features which have not been agreed by all companies. It is done either by those who have an interest in pushing a particular company, or it is done by those who are anxious to take the community back to the dark ages of computing when a floppy from a PC wouldn't read on a Mac, and a Wordstar document wouldn't read in Word Perfect, or an EBCDIC file wouldn't read on an ASCII machine. It's fine for individuals whose work is going to be transient and who aren't worried about being read by anyone.

However, corporate IT strategists should think very carefully about committing to the use of features which will bind them into the control of any one company. The web has exploded because it is open. It has developed so rapidly because the creative forces of thousands of companies are building on the same platform. Binding oneself to one company means one is limiting one's future to the innovations that one company can provide"
