Google Base

New thing from google's stable: Google Base

Just saw some news about it and browsed some blogs and sites about this. It's supposed to be a competitor for ebay, though Eric Schmidt denied that google's product is different from that of PayPal. But I am not sure if he's talking of GoogleBase or some other product of google.

Sneak Peak:

Google Base is Google's database into which you can add all types of content. We'll host your content and make it searchable online for free.

Examples of items you can find in Google Base:

• Description of your party planning service
• Articles on current events from your website
• Listing of your used car for sale
• Database of protein structures

You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they search Google Base. In fact, based on the relevance of your items, they may also be included in the main Google search index and other Google products like Froogle and Google Local.

Lagey Raho! google Lagey Raho!

Swades

Today, I saw swades for 2nd time. I doubt if the version I had seen is director's cut or the final one because the movie seems as though the director sat on editing table and that he loved each scene so much that he just couldn't touch it.
To my surprise, it is shah rukh who disappointed with his acting until he reaches the village. From then on, it's a roller coster ride with a few punches like
1) Jai Ram Jee ki [I tried to make it a habit]
2) Kuch kusti vusti ho jaye [postman says to shah rukh]
3) tumhara America jaana bhi 'difficult' kaam hai [shah rukh to MelaRam]

May be it's common in north, but it's new to me and enjoyed. Are, Yeh kya teacher hain be, kya acting kiya gayatri joshi ne.
Everthing's well upto the climax portion. Climax doesn't look different either on content or emotional quotient. It doesn't look like climax, may be the song in the climax diluted the effect, may be.

Music is excellent. Background score[especially in titles], songs are very good to ears.

I think the script should have been revised again to make it look appealing. May be the next 2nd draft would have been better.

PS: This movie is not selected for official oscar entry from india. It would have been great if the movie's time is less and it's narration crisp. Also, the things shown in the movie are obsolete. India is not that far behind now, I don't think people even stop their children from going to school. It's understood, if tha's the case with poorer class but even the village head does the same which is unconvincing. There are a few more such instances which atleast I haven't seen in my villages in A.P.

Vada Pav
Mumbai's favourite snack was born 35 years ago, when Ashok Vaidya, a snack seller outside Dadar railway station, decided to experiment. The combination of batata vada and split pav continues to be the city's sledgehammer answer to the burger. Eaten with or without a sweet and sour sauce, it has all the ingredients that your nutritionist recommends.

Memoirs

I was coming to my office after my lunch. I got a smell in the corridor which is the same smell I enjoyed when I used to read my textbooks during my 2nd-4th classes.
1) A lesson in my 2nd class-"Where are my glasses?". A father named "kutchu"-wears glasses down the nose and asks his family about them, and finally his wife spots them on his own nose. He has a wife (forgot her name), 2 sons (ram and shyam) and a daughter(sita).
2) Another lesson with ram & shyam going for shopping without bags. Shyam ends up carrying 'wheat' in blowse cloth purchased for sita and holds vegetables bag between his teeth. A picture of him carrying all these is in the chapter
3) There's a lesson about 2 frogs in a village. 1 climbs over the other and narrates to the other frog what it's seeing. It describes evvything about the city and they finally decide not to goto the city.
4) And, there's a lesson describing a village with all these people living on the bank of a river. No, No, I forgot the village name, I even went back to the corridor for remembering but could not remember.
The smell was just sucking. I think the smell was that of binded text books. Anyhow, I got fresh after a bad morning where I lost my purse. One more good thing is "I got a reasong to blog !!".

I scored as an Existentialist.

Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.
