I don’t understand what this person was trying to search for. Is he trying to hire a person to banish all the mosquitoes which disrupt his sweet dreams? Weird!
This reminds me of a Sardar joke. Once a Sardar was sleeping like a log after a hard day’s work was disturbed very much by a mosquito. Sardar got frustrated and caught the mosquito in hand and started singing Soh jhaa machhar Soh jhaa . Mosquito slept in his hand and Sardar went near the mosquito and started making sounds like a mosquito goiiiiiiiin goiiiiiiiin . The mosquito woke up. :-)

What’s the moral of this post?

Nothing. Remember, You are at karthickraghavan.com. :-)

Something was unusual. I had a visitor from Olulu (See picture).Olulu Where the heck is this place? If I still remember my middle school geography correctly, it is in the pacfic ocean. This I say after seeing the map. hehe! :-)

Do people have access to the internet from the middle of the sea? Is Olulu an island? No answers yet. I am going nuts. :-(
P.S. :- I had a visitor from Istanbul (Turkey) and Lucknow (Australia). I never knew there was a Lucknow in Australia. How poor I am in geography!

Install the orkut scrap replier using small window extension. Login to your orkut account and navigate to your scrapbook. Left click on the photo of your buddy and scrap it all the way. Happy scrapping! :)

I wouldn’t say that I am a best user of google. I will rate myself above average.

A few of my colleagues know that I use google to the max. The other day, we were chatting about FM stations available in chennai which brought up a small argument. One of my mangers was around and he started commenting to a colleague.

” I know the next thing he (me) is gonna do is google out FM stations in chennai“.

I was done with it before he had finished his statement. :-)
How do you think google helps you? Do you love it or hate it? Scribble here!
P.S.:-

I still remember an episode when I found out that people search for a lot of curious things. Thanks to IE’s Auto-complete, I was searching for something starting with the letter S and the first suggestion from IE was Shakila (the most famous malayalam actress) . :-) A die-hard Shakila fan has not spared office PC too.

I started to explore the world of google adsense and added all the codes and buttons given in my google adsense account. I even went ahead and signed up with Yahoo , Amazon as affiliate and filled up my site with their buttons too. After all these , I went to bed thinking that I will be a billionaire or atleast a millionaire in a few months. :-)
In the next few days, reality struck and I understood that filling up site with adsense codes and buttons does not bring visitors and it is the content that brings people to the site. My site looked terrible with buttons and ads flashing all over the place. Took help from Balaji and cleaned it up a bit. Now, I just have a single adsense code in my site. I don’t want to irritate my visitors anymore. Now I feel that adsense definitely adds sense.

It has become a way for google to release a new product every month. What google calendar does?

Google calendar is a free online shareable calendar service. It is used to simply manage our schedules and even share them with our friends and family members. Interestingly, events can be scheduled with this service and can be shared among a group of people. Moreover, publicly available calendars can be searched and added. for Example, I have added the FIFA Worldcup schedule in my calendar service. As always, google has got its own google calendar support page for all the questions one has. I have given links for certain publicly available calendars below. Enjoy scheduling.

Formula 1 Racing 2006

Film Festivals
