India's 62nd Independence Day
As the government organizations and educational institutions busily start their celebrations and the rest of the nation enjoys their national holiday by resting at home, I ponder over many things that cross our minds on such occasions but sadly the thoughts just pass over and we do nothing about it.

I found one website BrowserShots.

It is a very useful tool to check and make sure that your website is consistent in most of the popular browsers.
How it works?
