I was just checking Google’s official blog and found this super cool link… It is called Indic Transliteration from Google India Labs.

In simple words, it coverts the English words to Hindi. Say, for example, if you want to write,  “Ye Mera Blog hai” in Hindi, so just type the same thing in English and the application will convert the same in Hindi characters. Remember, it is not a translator, but it will just write the English words in Hindi.

Though that’s a different story that, when we write “Google bahut acchi site hai” it shows गूगल बहुत अच्छी सीते है (Google bahut acchi seete hai) haha

But it is fun, it will be a heaven for Hindi Bloggers.

Go and play with it here

haha, as expected Sanjay Dutt has been granted bail…though the bail is interim bail, he can apply for regular bail once the copy of the judgement is out..

But whatever it is, Priya Dutt’s visit to Sonia Gandhi helped!!!

I was chatting with Mehul (a friend) and he said, “May your company grow as big as MS”.

But that is not my dream… my dream is to have 10 people, working in my company first and once I reach there, my dream will grow and I will aim for 10 more.. and again my dream will grow…20 more and again xx more.. but I will never dream of becoming MS or Google now because they started with 1 employee first and then they grew over the time..

If we start thinking of making another MS from the very start, nothing is gonna work…be practical and dream real….

So the point of this post is.. don’t dream too big..have smaller goals and then make them big.. if we try to run too fast, we will get tired very soon…

Just my 2 cents of philosophy ;)

… all thanks to MTNL Garuda for that… We have been using MTNL’s Garuda for quite sometime, we are in MTNL to MTNL free scheme but for past couple of months, our bill amount increased enormously. So, we asked them to send itemized bill, so we can track the over usage.

And.. this is what we got… 30 feet long telephone bill….

 30 Feet Long Telephone Bill

The worst part here is, all the pages are high quality colored pages and 90% of the numbers are of 0 paise i.e. MTNL to MTNL calls.

I never knew that these guys will be so stupid to send numbers in color printouts and that too along with free usage numbers…

Height of stupidity and wastage of money…
