The only consolation for the Indian team after getting back stabbed by the Australian cricket world was the class of its kind centuries by v.v.s.laxman and the master Sachin .Sachin's century came in the right time,at the start of a new year coz the last year (2007) was not so good for him,coz he missed nearly 6 centuries getting out in his 90's.
I was not one of those fortunate flock of people to have had the chance to watch "THE GOD" play,that's because of the stupid cable system here in Chennai which prohibits these channels from being telecasted.I was watching the first test match from ma comp,i had even posted the link TO WATCH CRICKET FROM YOUR COMP in one of my posts.But the past week my xp got crashed ,and i had to be without my comp for almost 4 days.
So when i heard that GOD had hit 154* and stayed unbeaten,i desperately wanted to watch his shots,as usual my next stop was you tube.Where i found this video .Here it is for you.
WATCH THE GOD PLAY:
I also got the following link.I guess some spectator has taken it,just watch sachin play from this angle.He is purely a SUPER COMPUTER.Look at how Quickly he reacts to a 150km/hr ball and punishes it to the boundary,a sheer beauty.
SPECTATOR'S EYE VIEW OF SACHIN'S PLAY: DON'T MISS IT---
UPDATE:
SACHIN'S BEAUTIFUL INNINGS AT THE PERTH(W.A.C.A) ON DAY 1 OF 3RD TEST MATCH B/W IND AND AUS :
See the 5th shot he plays,the late cut of the bouncer bowled from bret lee at a pace of 145km/hr......a sure master he is....
I heard that even Australian spectators enjoyed sachin's play to the greatest extent,and that there where banners saying:
"COMMIT CRIME WHEN SACHIN IS PLAYING,
COZ EVEN THE GOD IS WATCHING HIM PLAY"
"SHHHHHHH........SACHIN IS PLAYING"
I missed these live actions for sure.But i am contend with the fact that the master has finally broken his so called pattern to get out in the 90's. Kudos master,we love you.Keep going

THE AUSTRALIAN FOUL PLAY
May be Australia has won this match but It was a Black Sunday at the Sydney Cricket Grounds on 6/1/08 when the world watched a team's downfall not because of their poor performance but because of Foul play by both, the umpires and team Australia.Today was the 5th and the final day of the 2nd test match of the Border Gavaskar trophy played between India and Australia.This match was so crucial for Ricky ponting for two reasons ,a win here would:
1)Enable team Australia to equal their world record for 16 consecutive test wins.

SEO TECHNIQUES 2
Basic SEO introduction was covered in my last post namely,"SEO TECHNIQUES".Now i will give you a few tips as to how you can make your posts search engine optimizable.
Lets see one example and analyse the various techniques for search engine optimizing that topic.Consider that you are writing a post on mp3 players.The following are some techniques that will help you in seoptimising your post.
NOTE:
IN THIS POST I'M CONCENTRATING MAINLY ON KEYWORD OPTIMISATION,SO THE FOLLOWING POINTS APPLY FOR THAT ALONE.
* USE PLURALS
If you pluralize your words, those who search for the singular and the plural words will both find your site.In this example,it is better you write mp3 players rather than mp3 player.
* DIVERSIFY
One word alone will get a few people, but not everyone thinks like you do. Try to get into the mind of someone who would find your site/product useful.Here ,in this case you should include words like mp3 downloads,mp3 songs,etc....in your post.
*AVOID EXCESSIVE REPETITION
Some search engines are beginning to filter out sites that repeat words too much.In general don't repeat the keywords more than 2-5 times
*USE DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS
Not everyone think alike.Some people might have searched the same topic that you wrote about,but,in a different way like "mp3-players,mp3.players,mp 3 players etc....So in order to grab these traffics occasionally use different combinations of the same keyword,sometimes spelling mistakes also works your way(that has happened to me ,i got 12 searches via a mis spellt word).
*USE PHRASES
In a recent study conducted by one of the major search engines, it was revealed that over 65% of all searches made use phrases rather than single words.For example: use the phrases like "best mp3 players in market","cheap mp3 players","mp3 players that you can buy" etc.....
*TARGET NO MORE THAN FOUR KEYWORDS PER PAGE
These are some of the non-technical techniques that you can follow to get better results.I Will be coming up with another post on the technical aspects for SEO soon...

SEO TECHNIQUES 1
SEO TECHNIQUES(Search Engine Optimisation Techniques) are the most looked after topic of search by most bloggers today.It is the process of optimising your blog page(web page in general) to be appearing in any search engine .I very recently entered to the blogging world and after hearing about SEO I too wanted my posts to be listed in top pages of google's search engines.In this attempt i wrote a random blog post called "Anna University Sucks".Just type "Anna university sucks" in Google search and you will see my blog page as the first search result.Also try"pondy ride" and you will end up with guru's blog in the first two search results of Google.This we achieved after practising some SEO techniques that we read online.
I thought i could share a few of them with you all.This i will cover in a series of posts rather than on a single one.To start of ,let me just tell you a few basics.
Every search engine searches your page for KEYWORDS. Key words are simply "the search terms which an end user might type for his search"
When you use these terms in your blog ,the chances that you get your blog page enlisted in a search result becomes higher.
For example: If your blog post is about movies,you can use terms like "movie downloads,songs,wallpapers etc...." in your post which will increase your chances of hitting the search pages with any combinations of the above search terms.
This doesn't mean that you can simply fill in your blog post with all keywords alone without any proper content.Apart from from being unethical,this might also end up in you getting your page penalized by the respective search engine (like Google)
Instead you could create a proper post with good content and still get listed in search engines.All you have to do is follow certain basic rules.
Having come up with a general idea on seo optimisation ,i will very very soon post on how you could seoptimise your page.

New Year's Eve
It was new year round the corner.The entire city was getting ready for it's celebrations,with all local TV channels(sun tv,raj tv,vijay tv) announcing their new year eve special programs, all consumer product stores flooding with people who were waiting for this right opportunity to buy stuffs under reduced prices with eye catchy offers and every single working class of people preparing themselves for a day off in the mid of the week to celebrate the upcoming new year with their families.To top it all "CHENNAI OPEN 2007" begins on de 31st.So when me and guru accidentaly saw about it in the news paper we immediately planned to go for it.We roped in baga and kitcha.
When every body are exited about the new year i guess there is one class of people who go mad at times like these - The Police.These times are tough for them.And with latest increase in the adolescent drink drive cases ,it is tough time ahead for them.The city police had been announcing about the traffic regulations for the new years eve and the list of activities that are considered "OFFENSIVE" specially around this time, like spraying water from water packets on people to wish them new year ,and stuffs.Amidst all this they had to also provide protection for the tennis players and monitor traffic around nungambakkam,that's where the Chennai open is being held.
But i should say that they did quite a good job,it was not as tough as we thought it would be to drive around the city on new years eve.After it was clear that the ticket counter was closed and that we had to be there as early as 1o AM to get our tics,we decided to hit some place to hang out.We decided to hit besant nagar beach alias BESSIE .We were expecting a huge flock of people everywhere around the beach with not even a myriad of space available for parking the bikes around.But we were taken by surprise to find the otherwise jam packed bessie road to be left all alone by itself.Thanks to Chennai city traffic police for their thoughtful traffic regulation.First we were told by policemen who where blocking all the roads to bessie that "bessie was closed today for public".But we managed to sneak through and reach bessie.
The beach was also less crowded than ordinary.We just sat there for about half hour,ate the local "Millagai bajji" and left for "Murugan Idly Kadai" nearby.I have heard that idly ,in this hotel is awesome and i have also seen queue of people waiting outside these chain of shops for their turn into the hotel,so we thought we could give it a try.The hotel was unusually empty.We tested the eatables which the hotel is well known for - Idly.Here they serve you in "VAALAI ELAI"(banana leaf) rather than on plates.The idlys were costly here,Rs 6 per idly.I didn't find them that good.It was just normal one .Dunno why people have such a craze for it.
Then we thought we could visit the "broken bridge" which was quite near from bessie beach.You got to take a mud road through the fishermen slums here to reach there.It was very dark all the way and with frequent mobbing incidents happening at this place,we were quite concerned to make it safely.The broken bridge is a 500 m stretch of 1 metre wide bridge extending from the land to the backwaters from marina.If you could remember,this spot comes in the film "ayutha eluthu" where surya and madhavan fight for their first time in the film.The bridge was awesome due to its location,but it was pitch dark and gloomy,so we just pissed off nearby and left from there.
It was time for us to leave.We met up at kitcha's place,wished everyone and left for our places.It was around 9-9.30 when we returned,but the city wasn't that active ,on a day like this.It was just normal traffic in the city.May be it was due to the well monitored traffic control by the city police .
The much hyped evening in the city went quite peacefully and normally for us.We had a good time hanging out.
------------------------------HAPPY NEW YEAR---------------------------------------------

Benazir Bhutto Assasination Video
I found Bhutto's assasination video ,last few final moments of bhutto and a news report on bhutto's assasination, video on youtube.I thought i could share them with you.It was a shame for pakistan government that they did nothing to provide enough security cover for bhutoo even after realising the great security threat to her life.
Look at how the gunman supposed to have shot bhutto makes his way so freely into the crowd,amongst so called tight security ,and shoots bhutoo with ease:
NEW CAMERA ANGLE CLEARLY SHOWS BHUTTO BEING HIT BY A BULLET:
BENAZIR BHUTTO ASSASINATION VIDEO:
Though Al Quaeda claimed responsibility for the attacks,the pakistani government's poor security is what is considered to have killed bhutto.
TURMOIL AFTER BHUTTO'S DEATH:
Hillary clinton yesterday asked for a detailed international probe into bhutto's death and condemned musharaff's govt. for being irresponsible.
LATEST UPDATE(30/12/07 : TIME 9 am):
The story has taken an unimaginable twist.An article in "THE HINDU" dated 30/12/07(page 19) says that"AL-QAEDA DENIES ROLE".
Alleged AL-QAEDA leader Baitullah Meshud denied any involvement in Bhutoo's assasination claiming govenments fowl play in the assasination.Al-qaeda claims that it is never in its agenda to ATTACK WOMEN and expressed grief over Bhutto's death.
This has given the story a new twist with governmnt claiming Bhutto's death to be an"ATTACK BY AL-QAEDA" and then reclaiming her death to be caused due to"ACCIDENT"
.Truth is yet to be revealed...

THIRUTHANI RIDE WAS AWESOME
DATE : 28/12/07
DAY : Friday
DESTINATION : Thiruthani
DISTANCE : 82 kms approx from my place (Anna nagar)
BIKE : Caliber
BIKERS: Vijay(me) and Guru
Yipee!!!Yipee!!!!Yipee!!!!I made it ....I made it..... My first sneaky ride in my (my fathers actually) caliber.....
The whole plan started off immediately after our PONDY RIDE.We were so thrilled after the pondy ride that we immediately wanted to ride out again.It was mainly me,kaksi and guru ,who were really eager for another ride.We also met up at kaksi's place two days before and had discussions of another ride.That's when we decided to hit Thiruthani either on 27th or 28th .But plans started to get screwed up as neither kitch nor baga wanted to come,also srikanth had college....so it was me,kaksi and guru...so we put the plan aside...
Yesterday(28th of dec' 07),guru had called me asking if the plan was still on.The timing was so perfect for the ride,my dad was out of town,my mom allows to take the bike within the city limits,and to top them all i had enough cash of my own to afford for the ride.So when guru asked me,i jumped in right away.we had only one hitch,thats kaksi,we had a dilemma about asking him out,but then we decided to do this ourselves because we didn't want to miss the ride at the last moment due to some last minute screw up(sorry kaksi,but we had no choice).So,it was me and guru all the way.
We started off at about 1.30,went to vivek's place ,got his 3mp digicam and left his place around 2.The first thing we had to do was fill in fuel,we did that for 100 bucks in a local pb and then we went searching for a mechanic shop to disconnect calib's odo.I would definitely get screwed up if by any chance my parents came to know about the ride.We got it done in a shop near padi,only to find that it was so easy that we could have done it ourselves.After this,we had only one task left -to reach thiruthani soon.Ha!!i forgot to mention,we took the NH 205(MTH road),which passes via my coll.
Once we got past thiruninravur,it was just open roads ahead of us.So we started ripping off the bike .Indian government has its own way of imposing speed limits,the system is totally flawless and totally unmanned.You know what iam talking about,yup!!it is the ROADS,they where so messy and dug up that we had to sudden brake from 60-10 kms/hr within 2 seconds most of the times.To make the system even more flawless the govt. had build the roads bypassing every single village all the way that we had even more of a tougher time to dodge straying cattles on the middle of the road,shout "MOTHER FUCKER" aloud to announce to the assole crossing the road suddenly from nowhere,about our presence.
From here thiruthani was just 20 kms.So we drove off really fast and reached thiruthani outskirts by 3.30.From there we had a 15 min journey to the temple (thats coz we had to enquire a lot about the route).The temple was in a small hillock ,which had roads for biking,so,up we went ....The temple was scenic.Up from the top we where able to see 20 kms radius of city around us,it was pretty decent ,this is where we missed our cam.After a 10 min visit into the temple ,we where off again.Guru drove down hillock in neutral gear (it was fun..the bike was rolling like a marble on the floor ).We then fuelled up again for 50 bucks ,ate something in a local hotel and started off at 5.0 sharp from there.
Guru was riding till LCR ,it was a pretty decent ride,he took the corners as usual.Also occasionally there would be a burst of ultimately chill air blowing up suddenly,believe me ,these breezes were cooler and fresher than any AC that man can ever come up with.After LCR,we exchanged positions,I was riding now.i was afraid of taking corners like guru,but for once i build ma courage and took only one corner pretty decently.That's the end of the show,cause it was already getting darker,so now,we had only one thing to do,reach home safely.
So it was now a sedate 60 km /hr riding.After reaching thiruvallur ,guru took turns to ride,after about half hour from this time we reached the city limits.By the time we reached our home,it was 7.
YIPEEEEEEE!!!!We did it again..another safe ride completed .After about 5 hrs,180 kms of riding at a stretch ,we were quite tired,but the ride was worth its pain......we learned a lot about riding on highways,i guess,we are quite improving in our driving skills..
Three days from now,ma coll would reopen and it would be another three month mad run to a place that i hate so much going to.But iam quite refreshed at the moment because of the two rides that we did.Looking forward for a good semester..
Also read GURU'S BLOG about the ride experience...

23/12/07 PONDY RIDE
DATE: 23/12/07
The stage was set,plans made,and after the final dropouts(vamsi,srini,gsk),we were finally ready for the ride- day.This time was a lot different than the last time,everyone had informed our parents about the ride.This was advantageous to us in a lot of ways.firstly,we got enough cash.secondly,we no more had to fish for stories to be made up to our parents .
All our way till marakannam we noticed police men standing on either side of the roads for every 200 metres,we wondered what it was all about.Then somewhere near marakannam we were stopped by one of the policemen ,who told us to wait by the roadside as the TAMILNADU CM KARUNANIDHI was heading his way towards Chennai.So ,we where all the more exited to see what was ahead.Within some 15 Min's,his convoy passed by.All the vehicles zoom passed at 100 km/hr.lucky assole.We took a video of his convoy from kaksi's mobile.Here it is:
Then after that drama was over,when we were about to leave one amongst us noticed a board saying Alamparai fort 3kms,in one of the side roads .It was just in front of us from where we where held up.So we decided to explore the fort.It was not much of a fort but just ruins of some 17th century fort build by some nawab.But as they say something out of nothing,we took some glorious shots from the fort.The fort was located on the backwaters.So the pics turned out to be quite a beauty.Here they are:
Sorry for the story telling,but,i wanted my emotions written down so that i could read it some time later to know how good my life was...

BLOGGING TIPS
Blogging is really an art....It is not just writing your thoughts or any information just like that...you need to write in a presentable format to have readers stick on to your blog.....
ok...ok....stop frowning at me...i can hear you say,"what the fuck you know about blogging....you are an amateur too??"
yes,thats true,and thats why i made an honest attempt to read good blogs , articles on blogging and some tips on good blogging....i got some really good tips...i thought i could share it with you....thats the motive of this post....
let me give you a jist:
1) PRECISE AND SELF EXPLANATORY HEADING:
Your heading is like your face...it reflects your feelings from inside....your anger,happiness,surprises,sadness and every other myriad of your emotions can just be picked from your face...that is how your heading is-it reflects your entire post...
whatever you are going to write in the next few hundred words will become less important for your reader if the heading to your blog isn't precise and clear....
"ALWAYS GIVE A PRECISE AND SELF EXPLANATORY HEADING TO YOUR BLOG...AND WRITE THEM IN CAPITAL LETTERS"
2)KEEP IT SHORT:
None of your readers are interested in your essay of emotions and writeups....so keep your post as short but as precise as possible...FINISH OF YOUR POST IN 250 WORDS.......that would be suffice..
3)PROVIDE VALUABLE LINKS:
Always provide valuable and relevant links to your posts....also increase interlinking in your blogs...this would help in increasing viewerships...
4)FOLLOW PYRAMID STRUCTURE:
A lways follow pyramid structure for your posts......(ie)start your post with the core idea of your blog and build your views and informations around this idea..
Always the very first sentense of your blog is what people read to know wheter to continue or not....so,keep the first sentence of your post precise and as an jist of the thoughts that follow.
5)USE SIMPLE LANGUAGE:
Use simple english language rather than local sms lingo or your mothertounge language or a sophisticated and complicated english....
I guess this post was usefull and worhty...even iam trying to blog keeping these as the base...
thanks for reading.....
