This time, Google is the last.

After Netvibes, Pageflakes, Protopage and Webwag ,finally when I had left hope of seeing this feature on Google personalized home , it appeared all of sudden

I have about 25 feeds on my Google personalized home and I was feeling like stopping there as it had cluttered as much as one could imagine. And to my rescue, it appeared today on google.com/ig. So now you can add the your favorite feeds on different pages symbolizing different categories!!! It is kool but still the battle for better personalized homes isn’t over as one can’t find a better place than Netvibes to organize the feeds as there is so much flexibility over there…e.g. you are provided with the feature to assign different icons to every different page – to recognize the category! And the font size is just sufficient to manage couple of feeds on same page. But the database isn’t reliable (I have suffered loss of all feeds on Netvibes for once!!!)…definitely Google is the one to look forward in terms of reliability But there are the features which make others stand apart from Google and perhaps, some addicts like me, will be waiting to see such features on Google Personalized home page.

But of course, I would prefer Bloglines to manage my hundreds of feeds for now while keeping close eye at the war ogle:!
I hadn’t updated my number for while on my website…now it is updated

Today, I met with my school mate whom I met after 10 years – thanks to Orkut and the best thing is that we both remembered each other. Thank you, Pranav for sending that request. It was so good to see him over orkut. Now I know, how does it feel when you meet a buddy after decades. He was one of the liveliest guys in our class…not to mention along-with me We used to play so many pranks… both had good time in school for 2-3 years when he finally left for other school…I don’t remember the reason but I can never forget his smiling face. He has one elder brother Aditya Parasher and he was my house lead. He is a very co-operative guy. He was the one who taught me, how to confidently handle the responsibilities assigned to you…which later lead me to become house lead! Pranav is obviously almost opposite of his bro but still he finds his bro – the ideal match for himself. His teeth were a bit out of mouth and our science teacher, Mr. Mishra, used to think that he keeps smiling after looking at him and sometimes, he became victim of that impression. I don’t know if I told him ever but I & Vivek came to know about it when we were accompanying Mishra sir in a science fair and there is disclosed this fact. Or perhaps by that time, Pranav had left school. He was really a big prankster…don’t know if still he is!!
And better was to know that he is also in Software. So I have an old buddy joining me. Its party time I can easily count on fingers that how many times, I have posted stuff under Mates -> School category.

I and Kansal had gone to have bfast at 0400 to Jaipal – it was Material Science external exam day after and we 2 were reading till 0400 in morning. Both were badly hungry and when hunger went out of control, we took scooter and had to cross it over a few feet high bar as hostel gate was closed – but anything for food. It was exciting. I was wearing Kansal’s notorious shiny yellow shirt (it was too shiny and a great example of modern art which Kansal wore only twice or thrice in degree) and white shorts. And then 7-8 Km drive to Jaipal. There we ate tasty parothas with Curd and Butter, felt that somethings in this world are just superb which are just made for us. Then back to Univ. We also made a round of whole univ. in that morning over scooter, of course. I can still feel that atmosphere and fragrance of those yellow flowers spread all over the univ. And we were singing – Dil Chahta Hai…Kabhi Na beetein Chamkeele Din…

I got remembered of this incident when I was going to home on Fri. in train and I was surrounded by these school children coming from Picnic@Goa. Got remembered of those good old days
