The word “Google” has become so ubiquitous today that “Googling” has become synonymous with “searching”.

Wikipedia, quite rightly, refers to Google as a verb.

“The verb to google (also spelled to Google) refers to using the Google search engine to obtain information on the Web.”

The first thing that a user will notice with the new Firefox 3 is its visual appeal.It does not look that different but it has a rich feel to it.

Ranjith sent me this link from one of his friends blog

The blog “Kerala Model” is quite old but the thoughts…are still new.

Nothing has changed except for the government that keeps on alternating with no great results.
[Excuse me for using the word "great" here ;-)]

What a coincidence that Kerala is on “hartal” today, this time against fuel price hike…Has the fuel price hike not affected other states?

In this digital age, when the neighboring states are trying to compete with the world, Kerala is struggling to get on the IT map.

In one way, it is good that the IT revolution has not taken over or else we would have definitely seen software engineers with red flags in their hands. It is so easy to visualize them with a red bandana and union badge hung down their neck instead of company I-cards.
Hope such a thing does not already exist :)

Their blogs and websites on the internet would have been interesting

On a serious note, every mallu is responsible for the current fiasco. Rain or shine…they will toil in all corners of the world except in Kerala. The entire gulf stretch would have still remained a desert had it not been for mallus. For their migrating nature, every NRK should be classified as ‘nomadic tribes’.

Its time to digitally enhance ‘God’s own country‘ to ‘God’s own e-state‘.
Come on mallus…its high time you do something.

Mind it…’something’ is not a synonym for ‘boozing’
