Google - The Noun, The Verb

Google - the one stop search engine for anything and everything under the sky or above the sky or even in the sky..[:)]. Google so went into the minds of people that we are using it as a verb also now.

I can't even imagine the world without Google. I guess, am not exaggarating. I am so used to it. I guess there a lot of people like me. For me its Pre-Google era and Post-Google era.

Now Google has come up with Google Instant...The first time I saw, I liked it already.

It shows results as you type. Google gives better search results and now it gives them even faster.

This is what Google has to say about Google Instant - "Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.

Did you know:

• Before Google Instant, the typical searcher took more than 9 seconds to enter a search term, and we saw many examples of searches that took 30-90 seconds to type.
• Using Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
• If everyone uses Google Instant globally, we estimate this will save more than 3.5 billion seconds a day. That’s 11 hours saved every second. (Wow...!!!)
• 15 new technologies contribute to Google Instant functionality."

A Post

Its been a while since I've posted something onto the blog. And this post is to break the silence and keep the blog active. Its neither that I forgot about the blog nor that I became busy. Its just...just...nothing. I wanted to break rather kill the silence very desparately since a while but nothings actually happening.

But am still here...Will hit back and get the blog onto the runway pretty soon...

Life

Life - Its the ultimate sin, a game with no rules that you're expected to win.

Do anything and everything to win the race. At the end of the day, all that matters is a VICTORY. When we win, nobody asks how we won. All they see is we cheering, laughing and shouting with triumph. They will look up at us. If we are victorious, we will have people on our side.

So, its not the road we take to reach the destinatin is important. Well, it has its own importance ofcourse. But it is we reaching there, no matter what, is more important. We reaching there as fast and effectively as we can changes the perspective of the world towards us.

There were days when honesty mattered the most. The path we choose to win used to have an utmost importance. I am not saying that there is no honesty these days. Every person has atleast a bit of honesty. But, does it have the same seat since the olden days ? If you ask me, the answer would be a straight NO. Selfishness has overtaken honesty. Is anyone out there who oppose me from heart ?

The best methodology to follow is the good old "saama daana bheda dandopaya". Do whatever it takes to win, but work your heart out in doing that. Its your race.

Do or Die. There is no try. Emerge as a winner not just as a mere participant.

You Play - You Live...You Stop - You Die

Tom Hanks

I have seen a lot of movies enacted by Tom Hanks and am really impressed by his acting.
He is one kind of a brilliant actor. He gets donned into any character easily. The way he portrays the characters...Man, he is so awesome

Some of his movies which I like the most are

Forrest Gump - Its a story about Forrest Gump - a simple man with low IQ who achieves great heights with good intentions.
The Terminal - Its a story about a man without a country becoming resident of JFK airport.
Cast Away - Its a story about a man surviving alone in a deserted island.

In the above movies, he played three completely different characters
