Today, I just completed reading the book titled “Google story” written by David A Wise and Mark Malseed. This book caught my attention in the right time when I was desparately trying out some research on SEO and Search engines. Even though I know that there would be nothing techy in the google story which I can learn , I decided to go for it. The way Google started its operations, the idea of page rank algorithm, how Larry and Sergy scaled their business, the game that won the AOL business for Google….it goes on. When I completed reading the book today, I could realise that I am already in love with search engines. I also made a quick analysis of all the famous Search engines in the globe from Yahoo, MSN , Baidu and also a few start up ventures like Guruji etc. The results were astonishing. It is also predicted that the online advertising would soar high in the coming years with major drift in the technology and results. Now comes the wierd plot. Can S16 create a spider program which gives more relevant and accurate results than Google in some aspects ? looks weird though, but not so ….

After the successful launch of March 11 marketing and brand consulting, we maintained the tempo and launched our S16 web and graphic designing school and now we are working on the launch of our new school website.So when it will end ? I have been trying to maintain the speed of my hectic work schedule but somehow or other it keeps dragging.Bad news . I find little time to blog, just spending less than an hour a day with family and friends, lost control on my diet , down with severe back pain, receiving continuous warnings from my friends and well wishers to take care of my health, very rarely watching television,been weeks since I went for a movie,fingers itching due to continous typing and I am just 25 …so actually what am I doing ? Is this the life I wished ? all these thoughts just ran o’er my mind few minutes back and I was almost down on my seat.

Then,

My Subconscious came to my rescue.

It shouted “Listen Vijay, you are on a mission and creating a brand single handedly is no joke.It happens for everyone at one stage or the other and just go on …you have miles to go and taking a deep breath here is of no use. Move on, recharge yourself and march ahead.You are no ordinary guy and I know your potential.I am with you. What else you need ? “

Thats it, here I am again sharing my thoughts back to blogging. I believe in my subconscious and I feel that is more than enough to guide me. So from tomorrow I have decided to have a slight change in my life style and lets c how it works. ciao.

Since my college days, I have always wanted to direct and act in films. Dont know why but I have that Kollywood, Kodambakkam fever still running hot through my veins and nerves and I am sure that one day I will make it. Below is the video of my first short film as a director and actor. This short film was taken for a competition conducted by Sony and the theme of the short film is a “Thriller” i.e we should take a sequence which should have flexibility for improvisation and should have elements of a thriller film, so dont expect any story or message , just let me know your comments on it.

We almost worked 2 nights to shoot the film and 3 nights to edit, then I went to chennai for the BGM. I learnt lot of technical aspects of film making from this project eventhough this film didnt win any awards from Sony except a “well tried” letter. This film was taken in 2008.

Note : Kindly watch this video with your speakers “ON”

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From World over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: “Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease”?

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about Nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he Felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the Eyes of a little boy. Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” “Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.” The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”"Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle,”Here,Dolly!” he called.Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.

 I love reading great philosophies about how to live life to the fullest, enjoying each sip from the nectar of life. I have combined some of my favorites for your reading pleasure. My personal philosophy in life comes from the last line in my favorite poem Ulysses: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not the yield”. My interpretation is to strive for love, seek knowledge, find happiness, and yield not to fear.Dance like no one is watching, Love like you have never been hurt, Spend like you didn’t earn the money, and don’t take life too seriously: No one gets out alive, anyways.

Fear nothing, never quit, never give up, never surrender, and always speak your mind even when your voice trembles. A life lived in fear is a life half lived; because man should never fear death but man should fear never having lived.

Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find “tomorrow” on the calendars of fools.

 Forget yesterday’s defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow: This is it. Doomsday, All you have.

Nothing happens by chance, so don’t chance anything; make it happen now. Don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.

Circumstance don’t make a hero, they just reveal him. Man is not the creature of circumstances,circumstances are the creatures of men.

Laugh at yourself, life, and everything around you. Laugh as a remedy and a miracle drug that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective seemingly terrible defeats and worries in life.

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Remember that you have only one life to live so make the best of it. Be whoever and whatever you’d like to be. Pursue your passions and your dreams.

Don’t waste time suffering. It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
Throw caution to the wind in pursuit of pleasure, because if it hurts, then it’s probably worth it

Spend More money to the needy …GOD just looks for empty pockets to fill and not the vice - versa… so dont save ! LOL –just kidding !

 A delightful children’s story tells of a little blue engine who looked at his impossible task of pulling a train up a steep hill and said, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” Filled with determination, the little blue engine huffed and puffed and pulled up the hill. But in an amusing twist to the original story, another author wrote:
