 I got stuck in some other problem where NM was not reading from
/etc/hosts. I wondered that since it wasn't reading hosts file, then how
localhost was still working. Then I found it interesting to find out how
actually localhost was getting resolved. There is not any techical issue
thats obstructing me. Its just for learning purpose.
