Pt. Nehru’s famous speech:

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance….. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again

It is said that ‘A nation that forgets its heroes is a nation destined to be forgotten‘ . Spare a thought for those who made it possible for us. Spare a thought for the martyrs of the freedom movement.

Aye Mere Vatan Ke Logon
Zara Aankh Mein Bhar Lo Paani
Jo Shaheed Hue Hain Unki
Zara Yaad Karo Qurbaani

Facebook’s current worth: $10 billion US

Finding your school friends (on facebook), after 15 years: PRICELESS!

If I ever meet Mark Zuckerberg, the first thing I’d tell him:
“What an idea SIR Ji“

Ever since Microsoft’s search engine Bing.com made its debut, it seems to be getting a lot of press and apparently sizable traction.
There are some who believe that Bing will be a real challenger to Google’s dominance in the SEARCH ENGINE world. There is speculation that Google is beginning to loose market share to Bing (link)

My view on the Bing Vs Google battle:
The only market share Bing is capable of eating into is Yahoo’s

Google offers a better user-experience, has great “mindshare” and a gigantic marketshare. Bing might do *some* things better but thats not enough to make users switch.
You dont displace a market leader (like Google) by being incrementally better… You have a chance if you are exponentially better.

All this percentage talk, is essentially Microsoft’s hype machine at work. Bing’s traffic will spiral downwards once the marketing budget is exhausted!

Also, Google has been around for a long time. They are not a company that rests on past laurels… they are only going to get better.
As for Microsoft’s strategy: first there was MSN search, then LIVE and now Bing. I guess their biggest strength is not search technology related, it is in fact “Re-Branding”
