A monal is a bird of genus Lophophorus of the pheasant family, Phasianidae. There are three species and several subspecies:
Monal Naval (26 January 1981 – 30 April 2002) was an Indian film actress who appeared in Tamil language films. She was the younger sister of actress Simran and appeared in notable productions including Badri alongside Vijay. She committed suicide in 2002.
Monal was born to Ashok Naval and Saradha. She did her schooling in Delhi and college in Bombay and studied for the Bachelor of Commerce degree in Mithibai College. She had two sisters, Simran and Jyothi.
She did some modelling, fashion shows and beauty contests and subsequently received film offers. Monal's sister Simran was a leading actress in Indian films during the period, while another sister Jyoti made her debut in 2003. She made her debut in 2001 and was reported by the media for throwing tantrums on the sets of her first film. She was signed to make her debut in Badri alongside Vijay but Paarvai Ondre Podhume with Kunal released first.
She appeared in a few more films, with most turning out to be moderate successes at the box office. At the time of the death she was working on Dadagiri, a Telugu film which featured her opposite Suman and the film remained uncompleted. On the day of her death, she had attended the launch of her new film Paiye Janmam, literally translating into "Ghost Life".
Monal is a popular open source instant messaging client for iOS and OSX that supports Google Talk, XMPP and Jingle VOIP.
Originally released as SworIM, combination of the Nepalese word Swor (devnagari स्वर ) meaning voice and IM. with a temporary icon, it was renamed to Monal and given its new icon in early 2010 by Ayush Pokharel. It is named after the Himalayan monal with the intention of adhering to the bird themes of other IM clients such as Adium's duck and Pidgin's pigeon. Along with the new name it adopted the Stockholm theme since the author felt Mac OS X users of Adium would find that familiar.
Monal supports the following protocols:
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right. Years passed by joking and laughing timeless days amusing for nothing It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right. It doesn't matter, for us it's ok, staying together keeps problems away It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right. You, only you, you've pasted emotions in my mind, and want to try to keep everything alive. You, you've never trusted in your heart but I appreciate you simply as you are. as you are, but think that time never goes back. There is a place, a place for secrets feel your heart lookin' back with no regrets It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right.
