Pixel Advertising

Its one of the ways of advertising through internet. Actually it gained popularity during the later half of 2005 . Alex Tew, a then 21 year old student from student from Cricklade, Wiltshire, England had to earn money by some means for his university exams. He created a website named " The Million Dollar Homepage " . The index page contained 1000 x 1000 pixels and his idea is to sell each pixel for US $1 . An advertiser can buy a minimum of 10 x 10 pixel to advertise ie to make available of his site url in the million dollar home page. With lots of doubts in him whether the idea will work he just worked on it.

Within 3 days he sold his first 20 x 20 pixel to an online music shop. Thanx for the one who bought. With in a week he earned enough money for his 1st year studies. And the final 1000 pixels was put for auction on ebay and on Jan 11 2006 the pixels went for a winning bid of $38,100.00 with a whole amount of $1,037,100 for the entire million pixels.

Though he earned a lot he couldnt continue his studies because of his popularity in the midst of people.

A lot of pixel websites has come but none of the sites have earned such a popularity.

Atlast my friend

I used to reach the college by van. Almost 20 students and a few staffs accompany me daily in van on reaching the college. A girl who is my friend now will also come by van. She too joined the college with me but she chose a different stream of study. I wished to have friendship with her. I had these thoughts in my heart from my 1st year studies itself . Though i liked her and wished to have friendship i had no guts to go and talk to her. I wont even smile at her if i see her somewhere out. Days passed and till the last year of my college life i continued the same on seeing her.

In the last few days of the college life everyone will ask their friends to write autograph for them in some diary/slam book. That girl asked me to scribble some words on her autograph diary. I had a few words saying that " though we have been doing our studies in the same college and had travelled in the same van for almost 4 years you havent had a smile on me. And i feel that it would have been better if we have had some good relationship " . And scribbled a few nice quotes and tried to impress her over there. Actually i got the diary on a saturday evening and gave it to her on monday morning.
I was very eager to return home by van as i thought atleast she would have a smile on seeing me. But as always nothing of that sort happened. Later i came to know that she hadn't read the words i wrote as she handed over the diary to some other friends of her.

And the next day morning I asked her to scribble something on my autograpg diary. She had a smile and i believed that she had read my words. She returned the diary after 2 days as she dint come to college the next day. She had written that "not only her but i too dint smile at her". Also she had some wishes for my future.

I had robbed her mobile number from her diary which she gave me to write autograph. After a few days i used to chat with her and she too responded well. From that we became good friends and atlast i got her friendship. She is the last friend that i earned during my college life. If i have to point out a few caring friends of mine for all time, she will be one among them. A loving and a caring friend i am gifted with.

Swathi park

Swathi park is located near our college. Actually its a garden by the side of a river that gives a nice look to the park. There is a small restaurant/canteen inside the park. Whenever myself and two of my close friends bunk the classes in the noon session we just go to the park and order some food items. With in half an hour we will have the food items in the table and we will try to eat as slowly as possible. Actually the food will be prepared only after the customers order and that will be comfortable for us(those who bunk the classes and some how pass the time). Sitting on the round table we guys would have funnny conversations making fool of other friends and the comedies that we had in our colleges. Later we will have a coffee or tea and hear songs in mobile phones and watch the children playing in the river. Its only after leaving the park we would think of seeing the time as its one of the places where we can spend the free time and relax ourselves. The arrangements in the park are well and good. Also its one of the places each and everyone who bunks the classes from our college would have visited. I hope that park wont face any financial crisis till the college is open and guys like myself joins that college.

I completed my college before 6 months and while i left the college the last day we three went to that park and had some emotional times over there. I can never forget those priceless moments we had in Swathi park. One of my college friends made a phone call and i just remembered Swathi park funs which made me to write this post.

Quiz - How the word quiz came into existence

While i was going through a book i got an interesting information about " how the word "QUIZ" came into existence. I just want to share it with u guys.
Long long ago a group of friends met in an evening party near a hotel. They had some funny chats with them . This continued for a while and suddenly a friendly quarrel arose within them. The cause of the quarrel is that one of the friends told that it is very difficult to create a word and make it existing within the people. Another one opposed that saying it isn't that much difficult and atlast they came to a decision that if the opposing friend can create a word within a day then we can conclude that its easy to create a word and every one dispersed.
The one who accepted the challege that he can create a word within a day thought for a while and went to a chocolate shop and bought a good amount of chocolates. Later that night he went to different places and distibuted the chocolates to the children in those places and asked them to scribble the word/letters "QUIZ" and put a question mark after that, ie "QUIZ?" in whe walls of the streets. The childrens got the chocolates and did the job they were assigned to.
The next day morning people found the word "QUIZ ?" in the walls of the street. They couldnt understand what the hell is written in the walls and every one began to think of that and find the answer. The reporters too came there and it (the word "QUIZ") became popular through the medias available that time and thus the word QUIZ became popular and came into existence. The meaning of the word wasnt found for days and thus it means " the unknown answer " . As days passed the meaning has slightly changed . Now the word is known almost by everyone. It now a days denote " game or mind sport in which the players (as individuals or in teams) attempt to answer questions correctly " .

Diego Maradona - biography

Diego Armando Maradona is arguably the greatest footballer that has ever put on a pair of boots. He is born in the slums of Villa Fiorito near Buenos Aires as the fifth of eight children. Maradona enters professional football at the astonishing age of 15. By the time he turns 16, Diego is called in the senior national squad of Argentina. Regardless of his talent, Diego is considered too young by coach Cesar Menotti, who rejects him from his selection for the 1978 World Cup. Bitterly disappointed, Maradona watches the tournament from home as his country wins gold. In the following four years, Diego dominates his country's domestic league and is eventually added to the Argentine squad for Spain 1982.
Argentina advances from the first stage of the tournament by losing to Belgium, but beating Hungary and Salvador. Maradona manages to leave his mark with two beautiful, yet not critical goals. In the the second stage of the tournament, Maradona is manhandled by his Italian marker Claudio Gentile. Diego's frustration gets him sent off. Argentina fails to advance and Diego is again suppressed from unleashing his full potential. Although unsuccessful, the brilliance of the Argentine footballer does not go unnoticed and after the World Cup, he is picked up by European powerhouse Barcelona. By 1984, Maradona had established himself in Barca and is picked up by the Italian club Napoli.

At the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Maradona makes his return on the World stage in a spectacular fashion. After leading his team to a quarter final against England, Diego steals the attention of millions with both his controversial character and technical brilliance. The fuss around the Argentina-England encounter is further elevated by the Falkland Islands conflict, which at that time had turned both
countries against each other.Diego opens the game 1-0 by striking the ball with his hand over the English goalkeeper Shilton. Unnoticed by the referees, the mishap is ruled a goal. Five minutes later, Maradona single handedly takes the ball through the entire English defense with a slalom from midfield right down to the goal line. After the match, when confronted with the video footage of the illegal goal, Maradona replies simply "Even if there was a hand, it must have been the hand of God." Maradona silenced his critics by deciding the following semi and final matches. By scoring two goals in the first and with an assist in the second, Maradona practically earns the World Cup for his nation.
Maradona's influence on his teammates was carried over to his club side Napoli, as they reached unprecedented heights, winning their very first and second Scudetto (1997 and 1990) and the UEFA Cup in 1988/99.

At Italy 1990, all eyes are on Argentina and its brightest star Diego Maradona. Diego comes close to replicating his success from four years ago. With Maradona's ability, Argentina defeats Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy on its way to the final. Most memorable is the semi-final match between Argentina and Italy played at Diego's club home Naples. To the torment of Maradona, the fans at his own club stadium boo him during the match. Nevertheless, Argentina eliminates Italy after a penalty shootout. The final of the 1990 World Cup, leaves Diego helpless as Argentina are defeated 0-1 by West Germany with a goal from a questionable penalty.
After the loss against West Germany, Maradona's career plummets. In March of 1991, he tested positive for doping and is banned from football for 15 months. Maradona refuses to return back to Napoli after the World Cup incident and transferrs to Sevilla for a year. He eventually goes back to Argentina with Newell's Old Boys.


The 1994 World Cup confirms that Diego's career in international football is over. He is suspended again after failing yet another doping test. Hurt by his absence, Argentina is eventually eliminated by Romania in the second stage.
Shortly after, Diego takes on a new career path as a coach. He fails miserably again, unable to remain at a single club for more than four months. By 1995, Maradona is forced to return to the game as a player. He goes back to his former club Boca Juniors, and remains there until his last match on 25th of October 1997. Five days later, during his 37th birthday, Maradona announces his retirement from football. Up until 2001, Diego remains away from the playing pitch, periodically entering rehab for cocaine abuse. Diego plays his farewell match on the 10th of November 2001 against a select team comprised by some of the greatest footballers in the game including Ferrara, Suker, Stoichkov, Cantona, Higuita, and Romario. One year earlier, Maradona is voted Best Football Player of the Century by a global Internet poll. Controversy is stirred yet again, by his nearly unanimous victory. FIFA, who find Maradona's personal image as the 'King of Football' unacceptable, decide to give the same award to Pelé as the Best Footballer for the first half of the century.

Google- The search engine

GOOGLE -
The most popular search engine in market . The search engine is registered in the minds of the internet users so that it takes atleast 2 or 3 decades for another search engine to remove Google and catch its place . On other words u can say that its almost impossible for another search engine to compete with Google. Almost each and every thing (the oldest and the newest) information can be fetched through Google search .
I heard that the google team traces the user and finds the topics the user searches for and sends the related links to the user so that he is impressed .. Fo example if you are searching for a job today using ur google id, the next time when u login you may find some mails that have come to your google mail id related to the topic you searched the previous time. Its one of the concepts that made google popular.
Also its one of the pages that each and every internet user would have viewed. The first thing a new user know about internet is about the web page "www.google.com" . And thats enough to know about the popularity gained by google in the midst of the world .. There are a lots of search engines, still none competes with google. To be precise they all just try for the second spot in search engine rankings, wher as Google is a long way ahead of the other search engines.
I have been using internet for the past 10 yrs. Whenever i login to the internet i surely would have opened the Google page atleast once. When i was new to thi internet world the first page i was asked to open is the google.. Now i'm bit familiar with the internet and when i taught my brother who was 8 yrs younger than me, the page i asked to open is also Google. Probably my child too would start with google while entering to the internet world. Thanks for the service provided by the Google.

bachna ae haseeno

It’s no wonder rapper Snoop Dogg and actor Sylvester Stallone have flocked to Mumbai for cameo rolls in Bollywood’s sleepless cinema factory. The production values are skyrocketing—what with a hop to Capri and a skip to the Swiss Alps. Add to the blank-check budget a fan base well stocked and willing to get their paws on the supplemental paraphernalia beyond the picture, and you’ve got yourself a venerable industry. Bachna Ae Haseeno will not disappoint those who are craving for some loop in their fruit. A playboy yanks the love strings completely from two buxom babes before getting a bad dose of his own medicine when trying to court a third. Despite the sap spewing from this maple, it will delight sweet-tooth auds near and far; even compelling them to fork-up a couple bucks for the soundtrack.
It takes only a few seconds into the titles to begin the first choreographed music spectacular. Our main man Raj (Ranbir Kapoor), a glorified video game creator, sports a glittery fedora while doing a bronco stampede dance with a harem of female backups dressed in fishnet stockings writhing close with extra pelvic thrusts. Their attire changes with the beat from no-mercy getups a la ’80s neon to Las Vegas disco. At one point, Raj is breakdancing, and you think you’re watching a recreation of Ozone in Breakin’. Then the number ends, and it’s into the story we go. Raj stands before a postcard view along the Italian Riviera and narrates in almost a whisper: “I am a killer.” It takes a while before you realize that the word killer is not going to unreel a story about cloak-and-dagger tactics but lady-killing. It’s present time, and our hushed narrator in his white Elvis duds and aviators is a killer because he woos big-chested women with hearts of gold and leaves them dying at the stake for even a last glance.
There’s Mahi (Minissha Lamba), a youth of privilege who’s Euro-tripping with her family on a train. At 18, Raj is doing the same and chasing tail to boot with his three mates. Ultimately, the two make eyes, and after Mahi misses a train, the two are going by moped through the Swiss Alps to catch-up with her family in Zurich. Love blossoms on a bench, and the two lock lips. The downside is Mahi’s already fixed to be married to another. Raj still pursues her by stealing some chocolate truffles and writing a poem on toilet paper. Such the romantic! The montage sequence layered over a catchy tune where the pair are playing in a soccer match and racing in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race all impress the fact that this guy travels far and fast despite his penniless status. Soon enough, the Romeo blows it by bragging lies about their affair and is caught in the act.
No matter. He’s got a chance to crumble another heart years later when he meets his next-door neighbor, this stunner named Radhika (Bipasha Basu), and puts on the charm. Soon enough, the two are intersecting at the mailbox and in the elevator, borrowing sugar for coffee. After Raj’s career gets a leg up, he must move to Sydney, Australia, he’s in a world of hurt to determine how to break it easy to his live-in girlfriend. He tries to do so through conversation, and she instead wants to get married. Cue the toilet flushing and plate-crashing sound effects. (These corny effects are repeated whenever things go south.) All attempts to wiggle out of the relationship backfire. Wedding bells hover and clearly Raj is not the marrying type. In Sydney, the video-game biz is flourishing, but Raj’s romance is floundering. Takes a wisecracking taxi driver, who happens to be a knockout named Gayatri (Deepika Padukone) to trip up the Indian Don Juan. When all his moves are proved tired, Raj goes for the gusto and tries to win over Gayatri.
The take on an old story of love thrice gotten and lost almost as many times is well and good. Raj goes back to appease the victims he ran over with his love cruiser without even glancing the rearview. Now fallen from grace, his conscience has kicked in and he gives a hoot. Raj promises at one point, “I never want to hurt anybody again.” Seeing him grovel and become a love guru so fast is a hard sell. But this is Bollywood, mind you. Fantasy flows through the water supply.
It’s nice to see a lead whose not injecting human growth hormone between takes. His frame is that of a Joe who sips a beer from time to time instead of Creatine. Then again, Raj is just your average video-game techie boasting voluptuous babes pining for his love and affection. The musical acts during montages are eclectic for this fare—a gondola carries lovers through canals, a deserted beach for two lovers, hip clubs where the revealing outfits the girls wear get the Hollywood treatment. It’s all quite flashy and tight.
In the case of this picture, it’s crucial to look at it with a measuring instrument taking into account the humorous elements and lovestruck plot. Yes, the thing can seem a bit hokey. The lead hunk is trying awfully hard to be this man of mystery. In some ways, he pulls it off. Could be his slick dance moves or the notion that there is good chemistry amongst the cast. You allow the extended music-video soap opera to carry on with its bouncy-ball plot without grabbing at it to stay still. It’s a well-balanced sauce with enough frills and not enough cheese to overwhelm the palette. And despite the long length (over two and a half hours) the film moves.
Director Siddharth Anand had a vision for this film and really took patient paces to mold together a witty and jubilant bit of cinema. The musical tracks keep the head bobbing, and the story has a universal theme that’s easy to grasp no matter how fast the subtitles move. It’s as if time stops, and you just get to play along with this ensemble of beautiful people (some perhaps got a little help from the science of silicon) who are trying to get to reach euphoria. The scenario of boy meets girl (in this case three girls) and finds something special, albeit through plying for scruples in each case, is old but happens to get a new coat in this film. Does the guy have this much sway with gals in real life? You have to doubt that. But at least on the big screen, the guy can have it all and smooch every girl he wants, have the cushy job, and however many times he falls, he still finds romance in the end. A film that can deliver this kind of escape deserves praise. And it will get it.

Farewell to Indian left handed legacy

The sunset was warm and glowing. Sourav Ganguly chose a good day to be his last as an international cricketer. It didn’t seem for a while that he had the choice but, like he has so often done, he created the opportunity and having done so, didn’t let go. And so a fine batsman has gone when still good, when still scoring runs.

Many epitaphs have been written. Sport can be fulfilling and yet cruel for epitaphs are written about men in their mid-thirties. Not surprisingly, Ganguly the captain has received as much space as Ganguly the man who competed with god through the off-side. In a sense that was inevitable for despite several fine moments with the bat, especially in one-day cricket where he was one of the greats, his legacy as captain is greater.

For those who value the here and now, and for those not yet converted to this game eight years ago, Indian cricket was in much strife in 2000. Some people had stopped trusting the outcome of cricket matches, Tendulkar had pulled out of the captaincy, India had been demolished in Australia and vanquished by South Africa at home. Somebody needed to grab public imagination; draw back the believers in exile. It was in such times that Sourav Ganguly became captain of India. In the next four years Indian cricket grew strong and proud but more importantly, renewed its bonds with the faithful who make it what it is. Many great innings were played in that period, fine spells were bowled, but the buck stopped at the leader. Ganguly was an excellent war-time general.

Along the way some matches were lost and many were won. But nothing quite defined Ganguly’s reign as much as that moment on the Lord’s balcony. He claims to be embarrassed by it and that is a strange admission. It was spontaneous and representative of a new generation. Young men watching it said “yes” not because it was the done thing to do but because they were part of a generation that had the confidence to give as good as they got. Ganguly on the balcony at Lord’s became a symbol; maybe like Lagaan did. It was also, come to think of it, what Ganguly was all about; not rude and disrespectful but defiant and increasingly confident.

Somewhere along the way though, an impression was sought to be created that Ganguly was more instinctive than cerebral; that he just did and didn’t think. The instinct of a fool counts for little and it is only a qualified man that can back a hunch. In most cases instinct is derived from study anyway. But even that impression was flawed as I discovered when he accepted my invitation to do a business show on CNBC. Ganguly was on the show along with B Muthuraman, the head of Tata Steel and he spoke beautifully about leadership; about separating his role as a batsman from that of a captain, about how to inspire confidence in youngsters and about mistakes that leaders can make.


“The best captains get it right seven times out of ten,” he said. “I think I get it right five times out of ten. But I know, even when I get it wrong, that my team believes I was wrong in trying to be right.” This was in 2004 when he was probably the best man to have led India onto a cricket ground, certainly in the years since I started watching seriously. That is about as far as a leader can go; when a team grants a leader his mistakes because it believes they were committed in the desire to be right.

It is tempting to argue that Ganguly should have played longer. But just as nobody knows when the stock markets peak and when they hit a bottom, so too it is with people. The highs often attain that status later and things are rarely as bad as they seem while they are happening. Who knows what the future would have held for Ganguly for his life has rarely been predictable.

He has chosen a good moment; one that in days to come we will remember with warmth rather than sadness.
