There's another world inside of me that you may never see.
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide.
Somewhere in this darkness there's a life that I can't find.
Maybe it's too far away or maybe I'm just blind, maybe I'm just blind.

India Unbound….ed
Proud to be an Indian!!!!!!!!!
Proud to be an Indian???????
Well we all are and no doubting that…..but are we aware of the history of the land politically and economically:pre and post independence????
There is this book by the name “India Unbound” by Gurucharan Das, which really does give us an insight into this field. I plead my ignorance here of being unaware of events and things which had and have shaped our economy and governance to what it is today.I also am happy that I chanced upon this book before my ignorance would have turned into stupidity and worse on…….
Through this book we are enlightened of how the country was under the British and its implications which were also of advantage to the country, contrary to what the popular belief is. The political and economic state of the country post independence, ideologies and beliefs of leaders like Nehru and Indira Gandhi,1991 liberalization of the economy and its ramifications across sections in the country are some of the myriad things which are beautifully explained here.
I believe this is one book which every youngster [no matter what field one is interested in] should read in order to be cognizant of India’s past and how events and leaders can alter the course of history.It also reflects interestingly the mindsets of Indians and their cause-effect syndrome.
Competition is not always adverse as was thought by leaders and law makers due to which millions had to suffer, the economy being affected the greatest. It was this very competition, which changed the economic landscape of the country post 1991.It, is shocking as to how such educated and learned economists of the country faltered and guided the country to unproductive and regressive paths.
I hope the leaders and policy makers have realized the faults and its effects today and more importantly by us Indians!!!!!!!!!
Long Live India………………..J

The Google Economy
GooooOoOOoOooogLe………
...........
synonymous with search……..almost entirely………that’s what comes to my mind [and millions others’] when I hear the word now included in the dictionaries too. I have literally fallen in love with this organization….its inception, values, leaders, culture………..list goes on n on……
Larry Page and Sergey Brin the two “rockstars” who started this rave of a company and motto of “Don’t be Evil”.The ideology at Googleplex is of making products not for minting money but which would be beneficial to people and then the product is of such high quality that it itself draws the sound of the nickel.These two are so committed to making the clichéd usage of “The Information Age” a lot of sense by making comprehensive and relevant[through Page Rank] information available to people all over the world…..kudos to them….J
The myriad products offered by Google itself reflects this belief,whether it be Gmail,Google News,Google Earth, Google Scholar,etc.Each having the distinct flavour of Google,a carry forward of its trademark simple homepage on white background in this clustered age of advertisements and its periodic “doodles” on the sign Google.Here’s the best part,Google makes its money through advertisements based on its search results and Google itself doesn’t market or advertise itself but still has created an invaluable salivating brand equity.
One would not realize the effect this one corporation and its products has on entities and people all over the world,which believe or not are colossal to be understating it…..this is what is the “power” of The Google Economy.
I cannot imagine being online without Google being a part of my screen and there are millions like me who consciously or unconsciously are indebted to it.But professionals feel this is just the tip of the ice berg, with loads to come from the Mountain View stable. It has truly revolutionized the way people function online bringing efficiency to the core of all activities. Google does not follow other so called major firms in its proceedings and ensues in what it believes would be best for the people and in sync with its objectives as a concern,this leading to a lot of spats with Microsoft and Yahoo.
Birds have news that Google is now working on biotechnology and genetic information which would be a significant step in the field of health and medicine.People would be able to realize their own genes and customized therapies and treatments……sounds crazy…well that’s Google for you if you already had any doubt.
There might be a better search engine,email,etc devised by a company in future but none would be like Google and the way and speed in which it has reached:to this point that it has made its way to my blog…… Google shall always be a part of HistOry though its nowhere close to it also as of now……Long live Google.
