Zero got GOOGLED !

Dear friends,

More than a decade ago, I started using Mahajaal (Internet). You may agree that this is one of the most important invention of century that changed life of almost entire literate population through out the world. Those days, for a layman like me, using Computer was a Love/Hate experience.

My introduction to the fascinating world of Google was also almost at the same time. I used Google as a search engine to search information on net. It was and even today very simple. You type the name/subject, hit enter and PRESTO! A list of well sorted sites is in front of you to explore.

Than came Google earth, the most fascinating and mesmerising experience of seeing various places on earth from the sky. Our own locality, friends house looks so different from the top! Google maps is a great help in North American cities to find address.

G-mail gave an altogether different experience of e-mail usage. The well laid out mail box is so convenient to use. G-chat side bar lets me know about online friends and occasionally I did chat while writing mails. Google Calendar is very useful in keeping my commitments. It sends an automated e-mail to remind me about important events.

After coming to Canada, I discovered YouTube, the wonderful entertainer on the net. It is just an ocean of visual world. I could enjoy many rare songs, movies, Interviews, news snippets and what not, on YouTube. I could even communicate with Remo Fernandes, my favourite singer through YouTube.

Picasa web album gave me the opportunity to see and share photos with my friends & relatives across the globe. The convenience of uploading photos just once and sending the link to others saved lot of time.

Overall till date I am very happy with Google products. For a layman like me, Google gave me a very fascinating experience of this real cum nareal (virtual) world.

Now with the recent developments among us, I try my hand at Blogger the blogspot by Google. I hope as usual it will be a satisfying experience.

Lastly you may be aware that this year in August “Blogger” will be completing 10 years.

Best regards

Zero

A weekend in Istanbul

Dear friends, Recently my cousin Amit and I were in Istanbul for three days.  Long back during school days, we were taught about Constantinople (now Istanbul), a unique city located partly in Asia and Europe, a strategic geographic location and its importance in trade between Europe and Asia. KLM’s night flight of three hours from Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam to Ataturk airport, landed me in Istanbul at 1:30 AM. Ataturk is quite similar to our old Mumbai airport. Hotel Boutique saint Sophia is @ 20 kms from airport and located at Sultanahmet, very close to most tourist attractions. Dome of Hagia Sophia  Day 1: On the first day we visited Hagia Sophia museum. Built in year 537 by Greeks, it remained a church till 1453, and then converted in to a Mosque till 1935, and currently a museum. It is famous for its massive Dome and paintings. Painting on the Dome The Church  Bell Next, we went to Basilica Cistern. It is an ancient underground water stor...

India's Freedom Struggle

" ए मेरे वतन के लोगों , जरा अंखमें भरलो पानी , जो शहीद हुऐ है उनकी , जरा याद करो कुर्बानी" In 1818, with the defeat of Marathas and annexation of its territories, British supremacy in India was complete. The British East India Company colonized and ruled India till 1858. First major struggle for freedom in 1857 resulted in British government taking over colony administration from the company. Struggle for freedom, from the British continued for next 90 years till 1947. During this period millions of freedom fighters and Indians were severely punished and killed.  Five major mass movements for freedom during this period shock the British Empire and finally forced the British Govt. to grant Independence. 1)       First war of Independence, 1857: It was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company. The rebellion began on 10 May and posed a considerable threat to Bri...
