Viva Vir Das!
BY MANALI ROHINESH
I saw the funniest standup English comedy show recently and no..it was not a reality show on television. It was ‘Walking on Broken Das’ at the Nehru Centre, performed by Vir Das. He is India’s sole answer, at the moment, to Jay Leno and the whole gang which kept us entertained in ‘Whose [...]
Madhavan-Vidya Balan Airtel ad – most irritating IPL ad this season!
I have nothing against TV ads – le’s be clear. They are required, they bring in much needed moolah, and some of them are really creative, some make you think, some make you laugh.
And there are some which make you want to kick the TV, pull the actors out of the TV set and then [...]
Dwarka Flyover – killer flyover in Delhi blame game

I am not a Delhiite – but I have been here for two years, and been [...]

Alexa ranking changes: What does it mean?
This has beena bad habit for a long time. Check once a day what’s been going on with my Alexa rankings. Everyone knows the ranking were not of much relevance unless you were comparing sites in the same industry or market.
So when I check today, surprise, the ranking of my site has gone up [...]
Don’t tase my subdomain, Google!
Cutts did not say that in those words, of course.
He talked to Tedster at PubCon first, then Tedster posted about it in WebmasterWorld, then Tedster posted a clarification. Here’s the latest I have found there:
