Delhi from the eyes of delhi bloggers: The Plight of Ganesha

I was about 9:30 odd in the morning and I was working on my comp … typing away a senti mail to the group of best friends here and suddenly, the pen fell down from the table and EURREKA !!!! it was an earthquake !!!!

More later .. gotta rush …

So I was “apparently” working for Imperium and was supposed to goto a Flex Banner shop to get the backdrops for the Shubha Mudgal night and KK night.

So the shop owner was about 70 years old and was as active as anyone else could be. So we discussed the modalities and other finer details with him and we finally decided on the deal.

As we were coming back, he asked us to wait and went to his car. He got me and Divya a small gift each. He might have got that pouch and the keychain for free but the entire action of getting the gifts for us (we were mere customers) was very touching and I felt very very special !

Wish all the other people were as affectionate …

And by the way I had a minor accident… I rammed 8101 into a Tata Sumo. No one was hurt physically but there was some broken glass and a broken heart …

The End

I am looking for a invite to the Yahoo 360. If ANYONE can send me the same, PLEASE PLEASE do so. My email address is septemberthe22nd+yahoo360invite@gmail.com.

Adobe – the document company is all set to acquire Macromedia – the digital company ! More to some soon on this wonderful acquisition.

I thought that Macromedia would be gobbled up by Microsoft but Adobe it was !

More to come …

While EgoSurfing today, I found out that a gaming website talks about me … http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId%2C111226.

Ego Surfing sure reveals interesting things. One of the few could be searching for SAURABH GARG on YAHOO returns a page where 9 out of 10 resuts talk about me 😀 Can’t stop grinning !

Another update … I finished reading Honour Among Thieves by Jeffery Archer and since I have run out of material to read, I am back to the good old Godfather… I am trying to remember the sequence of events now. Another option was FountainHead but unlike a lot of people I did’nt find it that “intellectually stimulating” !

Nothing special about the day, just that I am listening to my national anthem …

I am sure that of those 4000 hits, about 2000 are because of two people. Me and :p:D. If it wasnt’t her, there would’nt have been so many hits and so many comments.

And apart from all that, another culprit would be Google. Somehow it tends to point to my BLOG for no reason what so ever. There have been few samples posted here.

This post is not for the people on DialUp. This post has about 30 images and this is one the best pieces of creative work, I have ever come across.

I don’t know who made this, infact if someone else is aware, PLEASE let me know about it.

N’JOY !

I almost never had a wallpaper on my desktop or the laptop but then during one of the boring Corporate Finance lectures, I used a Bart Simpson Wallpaper and I found it kinda cool. After Bart Simpson, it was a map of springfield. Next I thought I would put in a Harley Davidson wallpaper. Since I din’t have any Harley wallpapers, I logged on to my favorite Google Image search and keyed in Harley Wallpapers.

I found quite a few there and one of them was from the website http://www.metalmodels.hu and believe me they were sexy. I would recommend every one to go to the site and admire the art. I have’nt come across anything like that ever in my five+ years of internet career.

Here is a banner from their website…

I was so impressed that I almost thought I would also start working on metal models. I was also thinking of places from where I can procure stuff, but then I thought, let the experts make the beauties and I backed out.

If anyone ever comes across this post, I would urge them to please visit the website and have a look.

Signin Off …

Recently I realized that there are lots and lots of people on the Blogging Bandwagon. Some expected, some totally unexpected.

And BLOGs are BIGTIME into Media. Recently ABC rated Bloggers as the People of the Year and then was this article in the Times of India about Bloggers. Wow we guys are going great guns and getting accolades for it.

Lee me try to figure out why people BLOG.

May be there are people who don’t have anything special to do and just to kill time they BLOG. Example could be ME. Yes ME. I BLOG whenever I have spare time. This post is a good example. I don’t have anything else to do right now and thought posting this post would be a nice idea. Its 2:46 in the morning/night and I could’nt find anything special to do at this time. Coming back to the question – Why people BLOG…

Apart from killing time, next best reason would be to get famous. BLOGs are treated as regular websites by the search engines and hence are indexed by them. People would search for keywords and land up at the BLOG. These BLOGs can be identified by the hit counters and heavy use of keywords. Example – ME ! Try searhing “ben_mario_piano” on your favorite search engine and you would know what I am talking about.

Another thing would be …mmmmm… to express may be? I BLOG when I feel that I need to go out there, yell and tell people about it. BLOGging makes it easy. I can rant as much as I want and no one would ever try to stop me. After all its my space and I get to talk about my opinions, my prejudices. No one can question what I am saying. Ok I don’t want to sound as a self-obsessed person here but serisouly there are times when you want to vent out watever is inside you. Blogging comes in handy.

More reasons… Dunno, people say they want to make world a better place to live in. They want to add value and dunno wat else.

The matter of fact is people BLOG and that too in huge numbers.

And I am kinda bored with this post now and would like to end this before I delete the post.
