Jai Mata Di Vaishno Devi, Kashmir & Gulmarg (The Paradise)

2009-01-17T19:18:00.004+05:30

Guess if we were in Mumbai then the perfect of perfect Trip wouldn't have happened. 2009 started with a Welcome note from a Military Man Muthu (Indian Army Professional from Tamil Nadu) who was giving share of his Prasad at the entrance of the door of Vaishno Devi Temple at 12.05 AM on 1st Jan, 2009. It wouldn't have been a better start for the New Year 2009 to see Mata Vaishno Devi at 00.10 AM on 1st January, 2009.

We all then left to Kashmir - The Paradise of the World. Truly, to be experienced the love of Nature to Kashmir. It was 22 days before when Gulmarg had seen Snowfall but by the time to reach there and spend our first hour by the grace of God we saw the Nature with it shower of Snowfall.

This is was the first time I saw Snowfall. Believe it after we saw that and came back, I feel there is nothing so beautiful than that in the World. Friends, I want you all to be there in Kashmir and see the Paradise on the Earth.

Jai Mata Di, Jai Ho Kashmir, Subbhann Allah, Simply Great

SEMPO India - Search Wednesday - Search 2.0

2007-08-10T01:33:00.000+05:30

Nothing could have been better than SEMPO India Meet on 8th August, 2007. This is my first meeting and 2nd meeting held by SEMPO India /SEMPO Asia at Mindshare canteen. It has been a great session, having experienced professionals from the Agency and Search Engine Marketing Company in the chair of discussion about Search 2.0. The meeting was started by Vivek Bhargava from Communicate2 and then it was taken over by Kiran from Google India and the rest of panelist on the chair.

It has been a excellent platform for networking and sharing thoughts and ideas. But it's still a small platform and I am hoping it to grow under the shadow of SEMPO.

The conclusion of the meeting was "Even Search 2.0 or Search 3.0 comes in the market people are still happy with the traditional method of searching". Yes localisation and personalisation are important but it just matter of time when any search engine can lead or take the maximum pie of search engine business.

I wish all the luck to SEMPO India / SEMPO Asia

Google Analytics - A New Avatar!

2007-05-09T08:01:00.000+05:30

Google Analytics (GA) has made most of its predecessor i.e Urchin. It has increased lots of service specific features that will be useful to any agency or company.

For example: Manage Email Download Schedules of the analytics report in
.PDF(Portable Document File),
CSV(Comma Seperated Variables - MS Excel Friendly),
XML(Extensible Markup Language) and
TSV(Tab Seperated Variables)

The new dashboard very much looks like a Website Analyser Dashboard. No need to go anywhere to find the "Bottom Lines" of the campaign.

The traffic source data is the key to measure the campaign traffic performance across all channels. Google Analytics presentation of analyzed data is much better and an original interface.

But it has to still work hard to get to the competition level of ClickTracks and Omniture.

Online Media Optimization (Optimisation) - OMO

2007-05-04T12:02:00.000+05:30

It’s important for any organization (organisation) to know which media over the internet is useful for their business. Is this possible?

Yes it is and very much practical.

Let’s understand the online media available for business:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising

Affiliate Marketing
Contextual Advertising
Blog Marketing
Article Marketing & Press Releases (PR)
Industry Blogging
Viral Marketing
Social Media Optimization (SMO) / Social Media Marketing (SMM)

I will make this blog more interactive, informative, research driven, metric driven, roi driven, analytics driven and more importantly customer/visitor satisfaction data.

Web 2.0 - Agency 2.0 - Design 2.0

2007-04-21T21:29:00.000+05:30

Here is a very nice slide that I would like to share. It's talks very strongly about Web 2.0 - Agency 2.0 - Design 2.0. It also presents abouts how a conventional thought process is changing to customer driven marketing solutions. I see we move ahead to Web 3.0 then web 2.0 as it has been predicted that it will be a failure.

Google has already jumped to Web 3.0 without entering Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. You should see this tube to know more!

Does this impress you or scare you? Do comment? Happy Blogging!

Merry Christmas To You and All!!!

Next Day: 11th December, 2006.

A very religious day with OM HUM, Pooja's and more from morning till the afternoon. Mr. Mrigaank was present till the Pooja's were over and was fast a sleep then.

His ears was pierced at around 4.00pm. I reached home around 3.50pm after a meeting. The best part was everyone in the family was present. Most amazing thing was that little Mrigaank didn't feel the pain when the golden ring was peirced in his ear.

Mrigaank was on "Mission Tirupathi" - For tonsure

Mrigaank at Kalyan Railway Station.

It was first time Mahadevan (nick name: maha - my brother) was visiting Tirupathi after 32 years. Mrigaank and Maha had tonsure on 4th December night. It was really tough to control Mrigaank during the tonsure. But we made it well.

It is auspicious to give away (offer) your hair to the Lord Tirupathi Balaji.

We reached Tirupathi on 3rd December, 2006.

Look at the some of the pics taken at night of 3rd December, 2006.

Arjun's First Birthday

2006-12-09T18:26:00.000+05:30

The day was 25th November, 2006. Another birthday party but this time it was of my best friend (ex-neighbour + my super senior + my chess opponent) Nelliperambil Santosh's 2nd son ARJUN...

We lived more than 15 years at same place and I share most of the best time of our childhood. I still remember the day when I was bleeding from my forehead because I banged my self with Santosh's strong canine tooth...

We all were missing Shailesh (Santosh's younger Brother) who is out for work on the cruise.

Santosh is sitting with Aryan (Santosh's elder son) and Mrigaank on his lap and ARJUN in his mother's arms.

Take care friend!!!

Mrigaank's First Birthday!

2006-11-26T11:23:00.000+05:30

One of the best day of my life 24th November, 2006

It was my only nephew "MRIGAANK" 1st Birthday.

It was held at Sakinaka "Chakra".

Guess what we were not expecting 100 people and there were more than 150 people who turned up that day. My brother has a very big band of friends. It begins with his childhood friends (langotia yaar - hindi slang), his college friends, his old office colleagues, his business clients, building friends and more.

It was a great day for everyone. we had booked the lounge till 11.30pm but it we all left at 1.30am. There were game shows for the kids, Magic shows, Juggling, bar for mens, gossip centre for the women (kidding), welcome stage and the dance floor.

Everybody complaint that I did not paid any heed to them as I was on the dance floor for more than 3 hrs. My nephew's favorite humming words are "Bale Bale Bale" and Ganpati Bappa Maurya. And even he enjoyed the party till 1.30am with dancing on most of the Punjabi Tunes.

Our complete family was present with best of friends and friends of friends were there. It was a great evening and had many memoriable moment. They were CEO of few companies (childhood friends) who never stay more than 30 minutes even they were found in the party till the end.

It was really Soophberp!!!!
