I, a perfect 100% vegetarian had my lunch at Karim's,Noida. I had my initial apprehensions on what I would get to eat there but they soon vanished on going through the Menu card.
My companion with me was my old Times FM pal Akash Verma. Our relationship goes back to 13 yyears now. Akash is station director of Red FM that is one of the most popular Radio channels of Delhi. Despite both of us being on the harsher side of 30's, Akash continues to look like a Bomb to members of Opposite gender. Few know that Akash was the Vocalist of a trend setting Rock Band - RED ALERT of Lucknow.
I had a thali called Hari Tashtari and Akash had an Akbari Thali.. Interesting names eh..Good enough Food.
Our talks got distracted when when a very smart young lady walked in to occupy the table next to us. Somehow her companion did not even matter an iota to us. God-made chemistry never changes, I suppose..

Delhi Weather = Good Mood
Howsoever modern we might become, somethings do not change. For example our link with mother nature. If you notice carefully, our moods are quite insync with the weather of the day. Good Weather = Good Mood.
Delhi's weather today is very fine. I hope we see more of these days in coming time. I also want to launch my site Extramarks( www.extramarks.com) quickly so that I am able to take an off the next time weather becomes so divine!

Online Networking: Can it replace Offline one?
Linkedin rocks! So do Orkut and Hi5. There are people who believe that social networking sites will not work in India. I think differently. Youngsters throng to Orkut and Hi5 like nobody's business.
But one key question remains unanswered. Will there be a time when Online networking will replace offline one? If you think deep, you will get the answer though not a definitive one. Messengers are also like social networking tools only and most of us remain in touch with others through them mostly. Offline we hardly meet. So Online has replaced Offline here!
I think, networking sites that have a distinct thread that can form the basis of a community building will succeed. Extramarks.com (http://www.extramarks.com/) , the site we will launch in early July will have Education as that binding thread. Lets see if it works!

Online Education? Time for India Internet Industry
One of the most under utilized domains in Internet remains Education. India seems even more laggard in this field.
In about 10 years of Internet, we are yet to see a big name or brand in Online education. Educomp seems good but they are much more stronger offline. Indiatimes started well early in 2000 but somehow learning lost to Photo gallery as Internet touched a low during bubble burst time. There are a very few good niche sites exisiting but no marketing seems to be being done about them.
We are planning to launch a site called extramarks ( http://www.extramarks.com). Lets see how this fares. My gut feel says that it will do well.

The Prez Poll becomes a Political affair again!
CHANGED MY OPINION
Read SN's blog and read what Arun Shourie has written about Ms Patil. She no longer seems a "good and down to earth" person!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congress's method of selecting President seems to be the same old one!
I have nothing against Mrs Patil. She appears to be a good,down to earth person however the methodology adopted by Congress is same old one..i.e choose any one who has got loyality to the Gandhi family and then masquarade the decision as a moral stance!
Its a pity that Middle class has no say in Presidential elections. Despite its rooting for Prez Kalam, Congress and Left have chosen to let their plea be fallen on deaf ears.. just becoz Kalam got elected while BJP ruled the centre. What a logic!
