Previously, it was tedious to type mail contents or offline Word file contents in local languages other than English. Now you can choose either English or your local language at your will, and type with either one of these only or with both intermixed! Yes, Google now provides everyone its free Google Input Tools to be installed in computer and type in their language of choice.
Now to install this Google Input Tools, first choose your local language on this webpage, agree and click on Download in it: Google Input Tools for Windows. You shall get a setup file; save it; open this saved file from Downloads page of your computer. Input Tools shall be installed in your computer in a few minutes. Then setup (configure) your computer to display the Language Bar on your desktop itself for your easy access of it, as instructed here under this link: Configuration for Language Bar display.

You can also try typing on a Google's notepad-like Cloud by typing on it and transfer all your work by selecting, copying and pasting on an offline file! Get this Google's notepad here --> Cloud.
It was an irritating affair for me for the past three months: my computer failed in the middle of surfing the Internet - not once; but went on so repeatedly: the computer screen displayed the next three options for proceeding further; the first one was 'Start windows normally.' Whenever I selected this 'Start windows normally' and entered, the session lasted only for a few minutes and went on again to display those three options for starting the computer! I learnt from this that whenever I hit the Enter key as soon as the options are displayed, the session lasted for more minutes than before; but this technique too failed in the next such few attempts. What has happened to the computer? I searched in the Internet for tips and applied my elementary knowledge; but it also failed. Computer mechanic too went on postponing, for long, his attending to this problem. My son found out the culprit causing this repeated restarting nuisance. Yes, it is only the wooly dust that had totally blocked the fins' spaces of Processor cooling-fan-motor-heatsink.
After clearing all these dust with a brush, the computer behaved itself normally - restored to its normalcy - without any repeated nuisance of displaying 'Start windows normally':) How could have such a large amount of dust gone inside for blocking? Probably, it was due to the daily sweeping of the room floor when the computer was on for working on it.What do you think about it? Any suggestions regarding this?
In these days of increasing global warming, it becomes essential to increase the green cover all over the places of the Earth to counter it. As an environment initiative to grow more trees in Tamil Nadu, South India, Isha Foundation launched Project GreenHands (PGH) on 5th June 2004, the World Environment Day. Over the past nine years PGH has planted millions of tree saplings involving millions of volunteers. Now an 'Environment Day Campaign' has been launched by it. In this campaign you can donate to grow your own tree by a designated farmer; you shall have to pay Rs.100 per tree for its planting, replanting and raising it up to a tree; you can know the location of your tree where it is grown and also the name of the farmer maintaining it for you! You can contribute and participate in making our Earth green and safe here --> Give a Green Hand!
