The interesting men I met

In the last couple of months I met lots of people. Most of them were normal and average, except for a couple of them. These guys were interesting, amazing, versatile and crazy.

Something is seriously wrong with the people of India

Some time around October 2004 I wrote a post explaining how regionalism was on rise in India. Today, I am seeing that the situation is even worse. Couple of months back some Biharis were beaten up in Assam. Today Mr. Raj Thackrey is openly claiming that Mumbai is only for Maharastrians. If I am not wrong, there was some agitation for not including a player from Kerala (I am not sure about the state) in the Indian cricket team.

Get ready for another dot-com boom

DOT-COM BOOM refers to the late 1990s during which countless Internet companies were riding an enormous wave of enthusiasm that pushed their stock valuations into the stratosphere even though they never made a penny. Billions in venture capital were given to entrepreneurs with little or no experience to fund ideas that were ludicrous. It was a crazy time, and people were very excited.

Is Google fooling us or itself ?

About a couple of years ago google made a big news when it entered the e-mail market with its service called gmail. The news was considerably big because it was offering its user something that no one would have ever dared to even think of. Google offered 1GB of storage space to its users. Bigs guys like Hotmail and Yahoo were offering less than 10MB of space. There were even speculations that hotmail might die soon.
