Finally it’s coming this May...Gosh I am relieved.
Probably this is the news that we all were waiting for. We all were tired of millions of irrelevant results that Google threw at us every time we scouted for information. Every search yielded a flurry of unnecessary results and the huge numbers boggled and knocked us out. The need to sift and slog many a times made us go with a different keyword, which at times failed as miserably as its predecessor. Our creativity of keywords was challenged frequently when countless permutation and combination of keywords failed to help us much. We all conceded defeat and slogged to filter the innumerable results out. Poor us!
Smart SE optimisers spoilt it even further with nifty optimisation and virtual publicity. Galore of links, press releases, blog entries, vehement updates and exercises made sure that even if a person selling shoes wanted to be on top for selling potatoes on the result page, it was possible in few months. Ah bugging!!
Now call it the saviour or a hero, helping us avoid all this discomfort is a new search engine coming this May, 09,
A search engine that will be managed by experts of the field, will make use of the Popularity Indexing of Wikipedia and based on this intelligent computation, will show results that were most searched for a particular keyword. SEO will take a back seat for the time being with this search engine.
I personally felt, with all the mediocre knowledge I had of SEO, that contemporary search engines had left a vital backdoor entry for the spoilers though their algorithm and its knowledge. Though I agree that no one beyond the one who designed the algorithm knows it completely but observers of technology had speculated correctly on the key element of SEO. And the trouble they caused by their accurateness is evident on every search.
Wolframalpha.com seems like taking the search matrix to a new height with its smart recognition of what is being searched for. A definite boon for researchers and scholars, the results will include a more user friendly interface with graphs, tables and highly relevant text.

Scroll down for more on the latest update about Ray J secret relationship
Have Cocktail and Ray J broken up?
Have Cocktail and Ray J split?
The doubts are again increasing like a snow ball. The audience wants to know whether the relationship was only for broadcasting or it went deeper in their realities as well. Audience is feeling fooled by this farce and suspicion is fast on an avalanche.
Audience doubts probably underline their rejection and revulsion of the show’s outcome. Probably they wanted some one else to win or thought that Ray J was short of ‘Good’ options. Whatever the reason for the suspicion be, people have a consensus that the whole show was a farce.
(Read about other ‘may-be-rigged’ contests: ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ )But all of this amuses me. A quick search in Google will clarify that people have actually started to talk about whether Cocktail and Ray J have broken up or not.
Another dimension worth highlighting could be the drilling nature and negative mentality of the audiences. Even when the couple has just started their love-life, people are more interested in reading about their break-up than their love life. Quite silly
Why can’t people let them be? Why are they interested in reading about their break-up even when they have just started? These questions just bother me to no good. I fail to understand the necessity of voyeurism.
Are we all too free, with no work and useful searches? Is Google the new tool of voyeurism?
If you are reading this, you came here because even you are one of them. Tell me the reasons of your visit. I want to know!

History and architecture clearly interest people. Vestiges and remnants not only elucidate the erstwhile civilisation but also throw good examples of creativity and innovations. Hashima Island, a mere 15 acre rock bed off the Nagasaki island, Japan, is one such place which is drawing a lot of attention these days. The complete study has thrown clear examples of the architectural development of the place.
Initially, a coal mine, Hashima Island was a home to the densest population. Japan’s autocratic powers forced Chinese and Korean labours to populate the island and hunt for the coal. The mines were rife so intensive labour was required at the time of World War 2. With limited space, the buildings were taller than broader. Shared bathrooms and kitchens clearly highlighted the challenge that the space threw at them. Many workers died beneath the island in the coal mines. And still lie tombed.
The latest study highlighted the presence of various facilities like theatre, doctor’s office, arcades, restaurants and bars. The dwelling gradually morphed into a thriving microscopic community with all the grass root facilities. Mitsubushi, being the owner of the island, assembled various units in their community to make it more hospitable.
With the advent of petroleum energy, the coal’s demand diminished to a level that Mitsubushi had to stop the mining and the short lived heydays of the isalnd came to a sad closure in 1974. The occupants were ferried to the mainland and Hashima Island was shut.
The island today stands in desolation encompassed by the water. The walls have caved in, the streets have become disheveled but still the structure remarkably retains the shape. The island today lives as a ghost island with few stray cats and dogs as its inhabitants.

It can’t get more disgusting than this.
As concerns were voiced by my blog about the revival of catcalling Susan, a porn site is heard to have offered Susan a huge amount ($1 million) to lose her virginity on camera. Who is to be blamed here? Simon for his venal marketing, Susan for her innocence and candour, or the script writers of the ‘Reality Show’?
This is a matter of great shame and disappointment that a godly woman has been offered such an unholy offer. Porn kings never had any morals and will never have, but it brings me back to questioning Simon’s judgment of exploiting Susan’s situation and letting it go on air as well. I know in this world of Big Brother, voyeurism is at its peak and sadly in demand too, but a holy woman should never in her life encounter such an offer. Imagine what will be going on in Susan’s mind right now? That too right in middle of the contest.
To further dent her smooth flow towards stardom, another surprise element of this year’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, is Shaheen Jafargholi, a 12 year old boy, whose voice has again mesmerised the judges and convinced Amanda Holden to do a goose-bump test. Whether Shaheen will prove to be an efficient competitor or not, only the time will tell but worth asking now will be the whole venal approach towards human without a single thought of morality, conscience and being right. First the aesthetics were the reasons for jeering, now virginity. ………What’s wrong with the world?
Incidents happen in celebrities’ life, they survive it but worth seeing will be how Susan Boyle, an abecedarian of this profession, reacts to this episode.
Best of luck Susan!

A marketing gimmick or a hard reality? Lets explore
Was the absence of man in her life a sympathy gimmick or a reality? Was it all a set up to give the show a boost form the lowering and plummeting TRP?

An increasing number of people are inquiring about her past. The search for ‘Susan Boyle Boyfriend’ is on a roll and it’s clear that the sensitized people all over the world are getting over their sympathy modes and are trying to be realistic. They are digging in to know whether the complete absence of a man from her life is real or not. The Telegraph’ has a story about this as well.
Their reasons for the suspicion are obvious as well:
· Why is a woman so shabbily dressed and immensely confident? Was she asked to wear shoddy clothes and smear herself with sympathy through the ‘NO MAN IN LIFE’ comment?
· Anyone getting into ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ will know the enormity and the grandeur associated with even the auditions. Agreed that she could not have afforded nice clothes but she could have at least combed her dishevelled hair. Why were they untouched?
· Why will anyone give out a fact like the absence of a man in her life and VIRGINITY that too at the first time on auditions? Did she know that the comment will earn her sympathy and a possible escalation in the next round? OR was she asked to appear shoddy and rowdy?
· What happened to the hairdressers of the show? Did he lose the comb right at the moment she was there? Did he get too scared to bring an order in the mess? Did the comb break in uncoiling act (hahahah)? Did he run away by the impossibility of the task? Was he fired right at the moment for not discharging the duties properly? OR the big question, Was it planned like that?
Many deriding and mocking videos are doing the round on YouTube. I am putting one for you. Though this doesn’t prove anything but the suspicion is snowballing now and would stay like that till her complete past is cleared.
But most of the reader will agree that whether a boyfriend or not, the lady is being praised for her voice not for her background. I must say that the lady should be applauded for the sheer resolve to perform infront of a hostile and jeering audience. And doing that too well as well!
So far…nothing has been proved!

This is the song that has catapulted Susan to be the cynosure of our heart. Sing alone. This is the original one!
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrongI dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untastedBut the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shameHe slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn cameAnd still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weatherI had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

Her simplicity and frank expressions
This is what dreams can do to you! A rather rowdy woman with a reckless demeanour but with an angelic voice and a cute temperament has become the national craze overnight. Her searches are increasing at a blazing pace. It’s heartening to see that the whole world now is appreciating the voice and the owner with equal ferocity as she was booed when she descended onto the stage and jolted her paunch.
Well that is history now and you can click to read more about the audition: I salute you Susan Boyle
Well the opera singer reminded me of Celine Dion (I don’t know why!) but I found a companion in Larry King when he asked her to sing ‘My heart will go on’. Susan sung it and mesmerised us once again. Being without any musical accompaniment, Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan showered Susan Boyle with the highest honour by comparing her voice to be angelic. Though even he wouldn’t have heard an angel but the opinion is unanimous: Hers is the closest to what people perceive as angelic!
People had snickered and ridiculed Susan’s demeanour as reckless and shoddy. But with all the success and fame she has earned overnight, they are busy swarming and deluging the singing sensation as her biggest admirers. The bookies, gaffers and the gambler are favouring her with positive odds, and recording companies are flocking her with offers of world tours and recording contracts. The adorable lady is rather taking every step with careful precision and is sharply focused on the next rounds of Britain’s Got Talent.
Responding to the several recommendations and pleas, even more moving comment was her denial of any need of make over. She highlighted that she has not changed as a person even after all the shutterbugs surge and venal contracts. For her, her passion weighs much more than anything else and its so numbing to see in today’s world.
Her confidence is another chapter in its own. Her candour of accepting the absence of mere pecking and boyfriends catapulted her persona to a different level. Audience did mumble across and a condemning cacophony did develop, but the paunch jolt rather mocked at them than show intimidation. She won my heart then and there. You need confidence to believe in yourself and face the world with what ever you have. Susan had the perfect mix of talent and confidence and a heart-winning (soon award winning) conviction!
Taking her candour and simplicity to another elevation, she confessed that she was born with irregularities and was a constant target of nagging and deriding comments. The verbal assaults didn’t dent her confidence and she grew in life. Moving from a Church choir to earn a living as a cook, she finally settled to day to day house work in her reticent surroundings. The only slight hint of regret in her is the absence of a man in her life but is gracefully brushed aside with digressive talks of her focus and using this ‘only chance’ she has.
