Or what am I doing these days that stops me from writing regular post on this blog. ? At a time when there are numerous topics to write about on India - the biggest terrorist attack on Indian soil, the ongoing economic recession, recent assembly elections, the regular PAK bashing, upcoming new movie releases etc.
Well nothing special but at present I am deeply involved in completing a project related to my professional life. This project was getting delayed for quite some time and now I have decided to complete it with single minded devotion.
That’s why no blog post on this blog. The project is very important for me and if I don’t complete it on time, it will result in a big loss - both monetary and reputation wise.
So expect some more silence on this blog. Though I shall keep approving comments, a fresh post is perhaps not possible for some more days.

Just like everybody in India, I feel sad, angry and frustrated. Never ever before, we see this amount of anger and sadness on the face of people. There is pain and tears in the eyes of people. After 61 years of freedom, if we can’t feel ourselves safe in India, then it is a matter of collective shame for us. Is India fast turning into a failed state? Wel, it is an issue in which I intend to write in detail in future posts.
As of now, here is excellent editorial by the editor of Times of India published a few days ago. This article brilliantly explains the feeling of common man in India.
WHAT A WONDERFUL ARTICLE BY AN EDITOR OF TIMES OF INDIA
LETTER TO PRIMEMINISTER
Dear Mr. Prime minister,
I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don’t even do that.
Today I heard your speech. In which you said ‘NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED’. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement ‘NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED’ is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India.
Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima.
We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.
Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn’t it?
I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhiso Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.
Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn’t it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.
If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother Indiaby your policy of divide and rule.
Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn’t even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.
Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.
Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?
Thanks to Saurabh (maggo.saurabh@….) for suggesting this article.

Today as I wrote this I feel ashamed to call my self Indian. I feel really disappointed, helpless and above all hopeless to think as to why my desitiny decides to give me a birth in India.
We have just witnessed the biggest terrorist attack in the history of India. More than 125 people have killed for the past 24 hours and nobody knows when this ordeal will end and how much more lives it will take.
Do you know what is more tragic than the brutal killings of innocents on the streets of Mumbai? More tragic than the death of some of our finest police officers? More tragic than the devastation of our premium hotels? More tragic than the fear on the face of a common Indian? Read the rest of this entry »

A few days ago a friend told me about a site where a report is being sold for $67. This report is claimed to have contained the secret of getting #1 ranking on MSN search engine for any keywords. For all of you who are not very tech savvy , let me tell you that MSN is the search engine of Microsoft and is the third most popular search engine in the world after Google and Yahoo.
It is also known as Live.com
So this guy is claiming to have known the ultimate secret to rank number one on Live.com for any keyword.
He is also showing his result in a Youtube video. See for yourself :
By the time this video first appear on Youtube (2nd November I think), this guy was ranking number one on MSN organic search results for the following keywords:
You can check for your self by conducting a search in Live.com for the above keywords.
As you can see within a span of 10 days, most of his keywords have fallen from their number one position. However, this report is selling like hot cakes on Clickbank.com and has become the number one product in the Marketing & Ads category.
Just why on earth people are going crazy on a technique which can’t even withstand a period of 10 days ?
There are two answers for this question : Greed and frustration.
Greed because everybody wants to get the elusive number one spot on his desired keyword and make huge pile of cash. If you can secure a #3 spot out of 35,400,000 results for the keyword ‘low mortgage’, you can monetized this position in any way you want.
Frustration because it is becoming more and more difficult to rank on the first page of Google. The entire Search Engine industry revolves around getting top position in Google and it is difficult to get a top ranking in Google without following an intense and systematic plan of link building and content creation. In such a scenario , if someone gives a recipe to rank in top 10 results of world’s third most popular search engine, it is going to create massive interest among people. No wonder this product is selling hot.
Now let us come to the report itself. I have read this report and I must say that it does contain some very unique method for attaining top position in MSN. However, I don’t think that the creator of the report can explain why some of his sites completely disappeared from the search engine result.
Second important thing about this report is that contrary to what has been claimed by the author, you can not rank your existing website for the desired keyword. One of the most important prerequisite of this technique is to have your domain name exactly the same as your keywords. For example see the above list, all keywords and their domain names are identical (reducing debt : reducing-debt.net etc)
Apart from the above, there is a powerful link rotating suggestion in the report which keeps creating new links for your desired domain. I shall not reveal about this method as it will be disclosing too much info.
However, I think that this report is highly overpriced for the info it provides. All of you who have some experience of SEO must know that MSN’s search results are heavily favored towards domains name containing exact keywords in them. Let me show you this with an example.
Every month the keyword ‘Make money on internet’ is searched 1900 times (as exact search), 4400 time (as phrase search) and 49500 times (as broad search) on Google. Though most of this search are conducted on Google, assuming that some percentage of search on this keyword also comes to MSN, we should assume that there must be some competitive sites in the top 10 search results of MSN for this keyword.
However, if you search the keyword ‘make money on internet’ (without quotes), you will find that out of a total 154,000,000 results, the number 9 position is occupied by a website where not even a single article is written !!
Here is this site. Just a freshly installed WordPress blog !
So this is the situation of MSN. No wonder a guy finds a loophole to control MSN’s search engine results.

Not long ago, on August 28, 1963, a great black leader of America Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the most memorable and emotional speech in the history of mankind.
It was a speech filled with pain and hope. Pain for the conditions of blacks in America and hope that one day they will be treated equally.
Here are some excerpts of that speech :
“We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating “for white only.”
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up… live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Read the rest of this entry »

Owing to the recent mess in the stock market, often our discussion in office revolves around falling stocks of Indian companies. Just a few days ago when we were involved in one such discussion, one friend guessed about what Warren Buffet must be doing these days. After all, this legendary investor, who became world’s richest man this year, has earned his fortune in share markets.
We could only make some wild guesses about him. After all, he has huge financial resources with him and can easily withstand any crisis. However, we all were agree that this smartest investor on the planet must be exercising caution in buying share during these trouble times.
How wrong I was. Recently I came across an article on the current economic crisis written by Warren Buffet himself. This article is an eye opener for many of us who have become a victim of what many expert are describing as ‘irrational pessimism’. Read the rest of this entry »
