about a man and it begins at the end, with himdying in the sun.It might seem strange to start  story with an ending . But all endings are also beginnings.We just don’t know it at that time.

- The Five People You Meet In Heaven
Something very analogous happenedin my life.And I am convincing myself – Now this is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end .But it is perhaps,the end of the beginning.

UGh! Dunno why , I am just not feeling good . After spending 7000 a month, managing to get good grades , Winning sufficient accolades for my participation in my collage tech fest , nd yeah .. getting through preliminary levels in Code Jam ‘06 … At the end of the day I am just not happy . dunno why ….

came to an end today. Well ,after searching almost every bit of theworldwideweb , I finally GOT all the solutions of Google code champ , Something I so easily (read brilliantly !) won last semester . It was tougher this time , especially when I had so high expectations from myself . After tolling and crawling for really looong hours over the internet , I did discover LOT of discrepencies in the way Google indexes web pages , so it wasnt just about winning just-another-collage contest .

Well , for those who dont know , the contest was all about entering the smallest string in the google search space to get a particular site as the top result . Some of the sites were :-

1.www.apple.com : computer inc

2.www.thoughtaudio.com : philosophy classic

3.www.garbage.com :shirley appear home

4.www.divx.com :codec home

5.www.allreaders.com : detailed book

6.www.nasa.gov :home

7.www.answers.com nline much more

8.www.indiatourism.com : incredible travel

9.www.uefa.com :europ soccer

10.www.skysports.com :coverage from

Yeah , the catch was you CANNOT type in the exact or even a part of the URL assigned . I admit these are not the perfect solutions ; you can actually get better results . Now take a look at these :-

1.www.orkut.com :login online community

2.www.yahoo.com : com

3.www.rediff.com :india abroad home

4.www.msn.com :us messenger

5.www.google.com :search engine

It was astonishing why google doesnt list itself as the top entry when you search it for”search engine” on google.co.in .It rather lists altavista.com above itself . Which made my job all the more tough , since I was to search for strings on google.com .
Anyway , it culminated in a much expected and much *needed* success after so much of advance publicity . I am glad ;D

TechTatva Starts on Wednesday . And I am looking forward to the coding events.Sleeping Shiv and me are thinking of putting up a model in the exposition event.Lot of things of mind..hmmmm..
