What’s up peeps! A while back I asked Vinay if I can write on his blog and he insisted to blog for him anytime I wanted. I’m not quite back to this blog since it belongs to Vinay; however, I created a new blog called Garam Blog dot Com. I graduated from college four months ago and I was getting everything together so I didn’t have time to blog. College was the reason why I had to sell this blog to Vinay and also he was the highest bidder.

I also notified John Chow yesterday that I might order another Review Me from his blog so he’s keeping and eye out for my order. I’m sure once I make that order from John’s blog so many bloggers and online businesses will come to me. I ordered a Review Me order from John last June and once he reviewed my site my traffic just sky rocketed. So, let’s hope I can do that again.

Recently I had to send Vinay about $200 from USA because the profit from this blog was still coming to me and since Vinay doesn’t have PayPal, and since the service doesn’t exist in Dubai, I had to hold the profits from him till it builds up and send it to him via Western Union. All that money comes only from text links from within the posts so it’s pretty much free money for Vinay.

Anyways, I have started a new blog called, Garam Blog dot Com, I hope you visit it and enjoy my posts.

A few comments in an earlier post of mine said that I say something on my “Fatherhood”. I’ll do so in a few words. To put it in simple words: fatherhood makes a man happy! Fatherhood changes your paradigm, it changes your priorities. It makes you responsible, wiser and saner than how you conducted yourself when you were single! It gives you focus and seriousness of purpose in your life and career. You kind of feel more settled, more stable in all realms of your life. You’ve kind of “arrived” or so to say your life is “complete” and has more meaning. You want to come home sooner to see your little one. It’s fun to see your tiny little baby grow every single day – right in front of your very eyes. My daughter is almost a year old now.

Becoming a Dad marks a new beginning in a man’s life, you’ve got to tread with caution. “Good luck” if you’ve just got married and are contemplating having a child. And if you are single I suggest you get married. Do get married to experience what I am saying. I believe one must get married and bear children, don’t jump into it though. Prepare yourself financially and in every way - then jump into the fray! And finally pray that it all goes well.

It was said to be the wedding of the century - A grand union and a high-profile wedding. It happened on the 20th of April 2007 and a year of a successful marriage is what can be seen.

Flashback to April 20, 2007
It was in the Bachchan family home Pratiksha in Mumbai. Hundreds of journalists and fans hung around the area to get a glimpse of the couple. Abhi came on horse back and Ash wore a Neeta Lulla creation as the wedding dress. Bachchans invited only a few Bollywood friends. Well known personalities like Shah Rukh, Rani, Hrithik were left out…

Honeymoon
They took off on a month long honeymoon to Europe. They skipped the premiere of the film Guru and did not promote Jodhaa Akbar. They didn’t want to mix business with pleasure.

Ash-Abhi similarities
Both are successful actors, both are traditional and place value on family and relationships. Both are young, good looking and have great careers ahead. Both are head over heels in love with each other!

Career graph
Film releases of Abhishek have flopped after marriage but he is now betting on Sarkar Raaj which also stars Ash. He is also counting on Drona and Dostana. Ash had great success with Jodhaa Akbar. The whole family will supposedly be doing a Kajra Re tour this summer…

About her one year marriage with Abhi, Ash says: “To the spend the rest of our lives together is the most romantic thing. Abhishek is all rolled into one…” Abhishek says: “This one year of marriage with Ash has been beautiful”.
Congratulations to the couple!

Here are some photos of both…Enjoy!

These are humorous! These are genuine situations that one can come across in India, but do understand that a rapidly growing India will make such illustrations difficult in the very near future.

This comes from me after ages and it is about where the Tall Tower, “The Burj Dubai” stands now! I wrote about the Burj Dubai after it overtook the CN Tower of Canada. Last week it overtook the KVLY-TV Mast in North Dakota, USA. The KVLY is a television transmitting mast, which was completed in 1963. Burj Dubai is now the world’s tallest man-made structure, not officially though yet. When complete in a year from now; it will reach a height of at least 800 meters. The final height is a secret. Burj Dubai has now reached around 630 meters and 160 floors. When completed, the Burj Dubai would have consumed 330,000 cubic meters of concrete, 39,000 metric tons of steel rebar and 142,000 sq m of glass. Burj Dubai is the main attraction of the US$20 Billion Downtown development. This is not all - After completion of Burj Dubai another builder is expected to announce a 1,200 meter tower which will also be in Dubai. Looks like there is no stopping Dubai from scaling newer heights!

I leave pictures of Burj Dubai and the KVLY TV Mast.

Many people have said that Google Docs possesses fewer features than Microsoft Word. This is no doubt true, yet now Google Docs has gained several of the more basic and often used options.

The ability to set margins is a big one - college professors may not even accept papers that don’t have the proper amount of white space around the edges, and Google has been trying hard to hook students at various universities.

Next is the ability to print page numbers, and this is important for the same reason. Google can give colleges all the software it wants, but if the stuff would cause students to receive lower grades, they’ll find something else to use.

Finally, users of Google Docs will be able to choose landscape or portrait page orientation, and pick between legal, letter, and A4 paper sizes.

These features won’t solve the problem of anonymity that Google Docs is facing. Still, on the Official Google Docs Blog, David Kuettel writes, “We’re happy to announce that for those of you
with a need, Google documents can now come out to play. Right out of your printer and on to your desk, or your boss’s desk, or your teacher’s folder, or your client’s briefcase…printed
documents are here.”

BBC UK reports that Adobe, one of the worlds leading PDF software producers will allow publishers to make money by including adverts linked to the content of a PDF document in a panel at the side of the page.

Yahoo has reached a deal to start running advertisements in Adobe’s popular PDF document-reading format. Yahoo is trying to expand its online advertising avenues following deals with the auction site Ebay and the cable TV group Comcast.

The advertisements will not appear if the PDF document is printed.

It is the first time that Adobe has allowed dynamic adverts into its PDF (Portable Document Format) files.

Dynamic adverts can be changed for particular audiences or rotated to make sure that a particular user never sees the same advertisement twice.

PDF files can be created by a range of software and can then be read by people who have a PDF reader, such as Adobe’s Reader.

The PDF format has become popular with both companies and home users, and has been used to produce large reports and shorter newsletters, as well as preparing documents for printers.

Google plans to offer free file storage facility to users according to reports. If this takes off then you won’t be storing a ton of data on your PC. The company is working on a new data storage service that lets users store virtually all of their information on the web, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

Google refuses to comment specifically on its recent developments but it did confirm that users would soon be able to store a range of files, including video and audio, on Google-owned servers. The move is an extension of free storage already offered with GMail, however, Google said it might sell storage space beyond an initial free allotment.

Microsoft and Google have been battling for position in the looming cloud war as a way to attract users and use that data for ad serving. Dubbed “cloud” computing, both Microsoft and Google have been racing to roll out applications that allow for heavy amounts of web-based storage and activity.
