The World through my Eyes
My comments on Shashi Tharoor’s comments
Before starting this, let me clear one thing that I’m not a big Shashi Tharoor fan. But, I follow him on Twitter and hence, I was one of those, who were obliged (?) to get the comments from the source itself. At that time, I hadn’t thought that tweet would make such a row.
I’ve read occasional bits of his writing, which is good. The excerpts from “The Elephant, The Tiger and The Cellphone” (it is a book authored by Tharoor, for those of you not knowing it) that were published in newspapers showcase a person who is trying to portray an accurate image of India to the west in a very elementary way (in that book at least). Basically, his writings are sort of a Dummies Guide to India.
And in this latest tweet and the news on it, my head hurts. I feel like an alien organism was gestating inside me and is now trying to emerge from my cranium.

It is a pretty happy day for me today, or to be precise, happy day for the budding webmaster that resides in me. The credit of this happiness goes to the company with it’s HQ in Mountain View, California — i.e. Google. The reason behind this is the recent PageRank (PR in short)update by Google.
