A Beautiful Sunset...

"Roshan to har diya karta hai apne aangan ko,
par Suraj si chamak us mein kahan.
Din mein to karta hai yeh roshan duniya ko,
phir Chand ko chandni de.. karde yeh raaten bhi jawan."
... Daman
Took this one a few days back, was standing next to the window in my room playing with my Canon S2 IS... Photography is always fun but even more if u can capture a moment like this!!

Help saving a Life..

It was 1am in the night and I was working on my thesis with a movie going on the side. Then came in this small episode about the children dying of hunger in Kenya. I cannot describe the suffering they are going through... u have to see it urself but believe me.. a tear will definitely fall !!

These are the families affected by the wars going on in Africa for years and they are just happy to be alive but this happiness is not long-lasting as every day hundreds of kids are dying of hunger... there is just not enough food with families to survive and there is not much they can do about it.

Taiwan took a step forward and has donated about 11 million pounds of rice for these kids in Kenya but it has to be shipped to Kenya and I think everybody who can, should put a step forward for that. They say by donating just $20, u will help feed about 1000 kids in Kenya...

Here is the link to the website:

Just imagine if you can save a life just by donating $20 once !! I bet it will be one of the better feelings u will ever have..

I did some research and felt that these people are genuine so I did what I could. Now its your turn.

Google.. I am Loving it

About 10 years ago, Google came on the web as a mere search engine answering about 10,000 queries a day with a beta version. Soon it was noticed and PC Magazine named Google one of its Top 100 Web Sites and Search Engines for 1998. By September 1999, the Beta label came of the website!!

That time nobody thought that Google may reach such heights one day. In last 3 to 4 years, seems like what ever makes a mark on the Internet.. finally ends up being a part of Google. Blogger, YouTube, FeedBurner, Zenter, Grandcentral are just a few to mention. It has already spent billions of dollars in taking over these firms.

Social Networks, Search, Blogs, Videos, Chat, Shopping, Website Development, Advertisement.. u name and Google has it!!

GooOS, the Google Operating System is what I heard is coming next. Its been said that Google is building a huge computer with a custom operating system that everyone on earth can have an account on. The first word that comes to my mind is WOW!!

The best thing.. almost everything is Freeeee!!! (atleast all the basic services that a common user needs). Sign up with Googlepages and u can make others feel your presence on the internet without spending a penny and and too without a single Ad on your page. If you want to make some money with that very same page, just put a few Ads through Google Adsense and start earning. You won't believe it but a lot of people are earning thousands of dollars per month this way!!

Hey Guys.. want to make millions of $$.. just bring up a new Idea.. make the world go mad about it and Google will make ur dreams come true!! I will start working as soon as I get one :)
