Rishte

iss rishte ko kya naam de hum,
abhi toh kudh ki talaash zaari hai

~Pakya

Mausam aate hai

Zindagi Ek Aada, Ek Hunar, Ek Kamaal hai,

Jinko jeena nahi aata, vo mar jaate hai.

Kab se khamosh hoo, saakit hoo, kisi boot ki tarah,

Mausam aate hai mujhe chukar gujar jaate hai!

Sab Dharti Kagaz Karu

Sab Dharti Kagaz Karu,

Lekhan Ban Raye.

Sath Samundra Ki Mas Karu

Guru Gun Likha Na Jaye

Jo Kachu Kiya so Tum Kiya

Jo Kachu Kiya so Tum Kiya

Mein Kuch Kiya Nahi.

Kahe Koi Jo Mein Kiya,

Tum Hi The Mujh Mahi.

How do you know your blog is useful?

So many blogs, so little time! Are there evolutionary forces that will shake out the winners? If Craigsnumber can help figure out the real value of blogs, which other tools complement it? I h’ve started using Craigsnumber to get in touch with my readers so that I can connect with them, without losing my secrecy over the Internet ….

You go CN!

Divisha Gupta’s answer to Jonathan Allen on Indian Women

Original blog at – http://www.ibnlive.com/blogs/divishagupta/304/35539/indian-spinsters—a-cause-for-despair.html 

An excerpt from a Reuters report on Liz Hurley, filed by one Jonathan Allen:

 

“Indian women are commonly married off in their teens to a man of their parents’ choosing, and are a cause of despair if they are still a spinster at 30. Even the humblest family will save up to make sure their children are paraded regally around the neighbourhood by lantern-bearers and a brass band.“

 

An apt read for International Women’s Day. What appalling, mindless bracketing, myopic stereotyping, West-side perspective and the inability to look beyond and rise above the “elephant-sadhu-snake-charmer” state of being!

 

Anyway, no fuming.

 

Dear Jonathan, this is for you. Please take note and do consider this a helpful “template” for all your West trend stories. Anyway, your generalisations are tantamount to saying the understated:

 

“In United States (or whatever country you come from), the concept of family – joint or nuclear – is redundant. Menfolk usually stray and wives make it a hobby of bearing children from all men of acquaintance. The children of a couple (married or otherwise) are occasionally subjected to paternity tests to establish if they have been borne of the same parentage. Before they hit their teens, majority of them take to drugs and abortions are as common as smoking up and sleeping around. Of course, the progressive and free society frowns upon anyone who remotely disagrees with its ideas of liberation.”

Google Phone Patent

Google Phone rumor looks like it true ..
This patent is truly groundbreaking in what the application could do. Imagine that you are planning a night out in London. At 6pm Google could predict you are looking for a restaurant and, given your history of looking for directions to Chinese restaurants every week, would select an array of suitable plac

Craigslist and Craigsnumber – The winning combination

2006 was certainly a year of all creative and jazzy 2.0 web applications. Tons of ideas got into reality and entrepreneurs went reached to millions of users providing them with various services.I believe 2007 should enhance the value these individual services bring to us – I call it a winning combination or “value added services”. What can these be? For example, our very own Craigslist.org should now combine with Craigsnumber.com so that we as users of both these application get seamless integrated experience. I personally hate signing up on different sites, replicating information, downloading widgets etc. Imagine these two work together and we sit back and sell/ connect/ post our information and put the anonymous number provided by Craigsnumber.com … wouldn’t that be a treat? I call this as Web 3.0.

Darwin’s God

God has always been a puzzle for Scott Atran. When he was 10 years old, he scrawled a plaintive message on the wall of his bedroom in Baltimore. “God exists,” he wrote in black and orange paint, “or if he doesn’t, we’re in trouble.” Atran has been struggling with questions about religion ever since — why he himself no longer believes in God and why
