Babri Verdict

Everyone thinks there should not be any distractions after the verdict…Media asked not to speculate too much about the verdict and asked to stay away from it, Govt banning the bulk sms and MMS much before the verdict…So What is all about this verdict, Is it Babur knocking down a Hindu temple and building a mosque over it? Should it allow the construction of the masjid or the temple? There are about 20 points court needs to touch upon…All I could say is It happened long time ago, Get over it and get a life. No one is around who remembers what went down, and even if they are there, I don’t think they will be protesting still? I am not saying people should forget or not care for giving justice to those who died as a result of the riots that happened post-Babri mosque demolition.Families who lost their loved ones after the demolition can still be there and might be suffering and deserve justice. I am just talking about the current whether Ram temple should be there at the Babri Mosque is all I care about?

 

Why worry about Babur looting us and the babri masjid demolition when there is so much wrong happening currently in the country. What about the gang of Commonwealth Master politicians in Delhi, under the guise of organizing an international sporting event, looting crores of money from us. No I am not making fun over CWG flaws on public forum, I know I never tried to take a government job, nor did I want to enter politics, I am not bitching about it either, I know that our democracry is like that and I guess I have the freedom to write. The law and order exists now

because it hasn’t been broken yet. It takes one mob to crack the largest democracy in the world, by raising such sensitive issues.

 

And as long as you have people who feel happy, coz they get a holiday on the verdict day and feel sad, when the holiday is cancelled since the verdict is postponed, You just cant change much there.  Now what needs to be done at the Babri site, I honestly don’t know what needs to be done. May be the SC should leave the place like that only..' or 'build a memorial monument which has no special significance to either Hindus or muslims, Christian, Sikh, etc..Or May be they should build a gigantic shopping mall which could atleast generate some revenue for the country.

India will be 3rd most powerful nation in the world by 2025

Well, Totally Possible.

And from IndianTimes perspective..it already is. What’s the use of being most powerful when the country can’t a CWG”? 700000000000 worth of money... and all we get are broken bridges? filthy village?incomplete stadium?leaking roofs!!! Thanks to Kalmadi and Mrs Shila. And one minister says today’s bridge collapse is a simple issue.  Yeaah riggggghhhhhhhhhttttttttt.

 

People ask me 'oh, they're way behind' -- that's the Indian way. Probably from a western culture they might be, but in India that is way they do things.
They're actually going fine from an Indian perspective, it's just internationally that we're all worried. It will have a quite unique spin on it and that will make it a really cultural experience,"

Its like Ranbir kapoor saying…

The Ayodhya verdict is an important day for the country. I hope there is no dispute and the decision is favourable to all.

New Twitter UI

 

There is a new UI release for Twitter.com with lot of new features. It now more looks like a just another twitter app rather than a website. It has embedded media, keyboard shortcuts, new two pane interface etc...The UI is completely revamped with better look and feel. No more ‘more click ‘ to scroll (infinite scroll), easier @replies, Quick profile/details view etc..The entire area is divided into two windows: twitter stream window and navigation window. In the navigation pane you can see the profile of the twitter user, follow/unfollow, add to list, post replies without navigating to the new page. Some of the key board shorts are as below.

 

The buffalo Theory

Impeccable explanation! My friends must be getting smarter day by day….May be I should start sometime soon…

You see? Google's got it right! Just kidding, honey...

 

This Google Bomb was actually up for quite some time.

IE9-Unlocking the beauty of the web

Browser is the stage, or backdrop, for the web, and the sites which we visit often are the star of the show. "Unlocking the beauty of the Web." That's Microsoft's new tag line for Internet Explorer 9, and this time they really made it promising. The Design and the user interface looks awesome and the new functionalities definitely makes the surfing easier and better.

 

Some of the new functionalities which we liked are…

1) Pinned Sites

2) One box address bar (Address bar is THE Search bar!!!)

3) Tab functionality

4) Download Manager.

And now Youtube Instant

 

Looks like Google Instant is not creating that much buzz as Google Wave did…

 

Not soon after Google Instant is released, a student is out with Youtube Instant using Google Api.  A guy who did something in 3 hours using Google Product and Google API becomes world famous overnight. Never mind about the tweeted job offer he got from YouTube CEO Chad Hurley. Not sure if they are serious of the job offer, but it did generate the buzz.

I can almost see it, that dream i'm dreamin' but........

I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming but..
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it!
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Google Instant

I am still around, I won’t give up on this blog so easily..Some Personal stuff kept me busy over the last one month and still the ups and downs continues.

 

 

Google now started to live stream search results. Does it mean that Google is streaming search ads? May be not, the advertisers are only charged on ad click through, so may be its for a better user experience. Some one has already tried this on bing, not as fast as google, but intelligent enough.

http://www.istartedsomething.com/livesearch/

 

I am wondering how is it going to change the way users query. Will the average length of the query changes, if So what would happen to search advertising. As a user, I definitely find this feature useful. It lets me iterate more quickly through different search strings. Google might be dramatically increasing the server load per user-keystroke with this improvement, where instead of returning a short list of suggestions they are returning entire search results. This might be a big investment in terms of physical resources. There’s a blog post that explains how live streaming impacts their backend (and the optimizations).
