Some photos of my trip to ISKCON temple in Delhi. I went there on a friend’s birthday. If you have any plans to visit ISKCON, don’t forget to buy movie tickets of Srimad Bhagvad Gita & Mahabharat.

Thumbnail previews on Google Search

Google seems to be doing a lot these days. After Google Instant, it has come up with another intuitive (though not much innovative) page results thumbnail previews feature. This is probably another attempt to enhance search experience for users or (perhaps a move to beat Bing). Note Bing is already offering similar thumbnail previews of webpages on search results pages. Google thumbnail previews are although a little different than how Bing displays its previews. The larger thumbnail is shown as soon as you hover the mouse over a search result. A somewhat similar functionality is already offered in image results where a larger preview of image is displayed after clicking.

Looks like the feature is experimental for now, there is no mention in the official google blog and very few people have actually spotted it.

There is a video also showing Page previews in Google search results. Watch it here..

How intuitive do you think thumbnail previews in search results are? Share in your comments.

When things go wrong

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Dunia ki Iss Bheed mein Sabse Peeche Hum Khade

Silk route is also one of my favorites bands. I love the soothing music they compose…the lyrics are equally awesome. Here’s one of the finest from Silk route sung by Mohit Chauhan. The following is the original video.

There is one also from the movie Let’s Enjoy. That one is also filmed beautifully.

Lyrics of Sabse peeche hum khade
Zaara nazar uthake dekho
Baithe hain hum yahin
Bekhabar mujhse kyun ho
Itne bure bhi hum nahin

Zamane ki baaton mein uljho na
Hai yeh aasaan janana
Khud se jo agar tum poocho
Hai hum tumhare ke nahi
Teri aankhon ka jaadu
Poori duniya pe hai
Duniya ki iss bheed mein
Sabse peeche hum khade

Mehfile aayi aur gayi
Log aaye aur gaye
Tum jo aaj aaye ho
Dil mein ho bas gaye

Muskurake baat taalo na
Phir miloge jo kahin
Dekhana yehi kahoge
Itne bure thay hum nahi

Teri aankhon ka jaadu
puri duniya pe hai
Duniya ki is bheed mein
Sabse peeche hum khade

and how could have I forgotten the other beautiful version sung by Ankur Tiwari this time, awesome song, great voice.

Delhi ka number 1 SEO

kash — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:36:32 +0000

This post is about finding out Delhi ka number 1 SEO or Delhi’s best SEO. I don’t have to elaborate on what search engine optimization or SEO is. Some say it is an art, some say it is a science. Whatever the case be, here in Delhi, SEO experts are in plenty. I come across so many SEO experts in New Delhi each one pronouncing itself as the best and number one SEO, Cheap and affordable is what they add besides, be it a freelancer or a company alike. The no. 1 seo is a cheap seo, don’t know about you, but it’s hard to swallow for me.

One more thing I find about our self glorified search engine experts is that they blatantly throw ranking guarantees with such absolute certainty that I wonder if they own Google! It looks like as if they entered into some sort of secret pact with Google and Google is bound to follow them no matter how competive the keyword is. Another funny thing that I notice is that you’d find many of them asking very naive questions in SEO forums. Questions like,

Please can anyone tell me what a keyword proximity is? or Could anyone tell me the difference between a nofollow and a dofollow tag? I mean Excuse me, if you call yourself Best SEO in Delhi, you gotta be telling us what these things are and not the other way around.

So, here is a challenge! Out of so many best, How would you find out who is Delhi ka number 1 SEO? How would you figure out who is the Best SEO among them? Just plain non-sensical boasting will not do here, the winner must show us the proof. You’ve got to show us the results. You have got to back your tall claims up. One way is to arrange an SEO challenge locally here in Delhi allowing us to pick the best SEO in Delhi out of performance. Performance based SEO is a big thing anyway. There is another short way, let’s ask Google, Delhi ka best SEO kaun
