Big Apple celebrates Incredible India
Saturday, September 22, 2007

Just before the UN general assembly meeting at Big Apple (NYC) this year, India is doing some brand building or should I say 'educating' folks up here with our Culture, Technologies, Fashion, Advancements etc. Times Square and some other parts of the city have already been decorated and banners have been put out on the streets for the cause.

With some big guns attending the event, our govt. and the tourism ministry are probably trying their best to change (or continue) the outlook of westerners and provide them with all the information that they're missing :-) {smiley intentional - see previous post}

NYC folks, take some time out to check the events (darn !! I wish I were there one of these days but alas) to be held 23rd thru 26th of Sept. especially the ones at Times Square which I'm sure is bound to attract the attention of scores of tourist/commuters.

The sponsors of these events are spread from companies like Infy to the Indian Ministry of Tourism, Culture to universities like Columbia,Yale to Louis Vuitton, Coca Cola and Citigroup.

Google's Gift
Friday, August 17, 2007

Google Blog recently made a post (on 14th Aug to be precise) and it read -

"Happy 60th birthday, India! We can't wait to celebrate, but we're going to wait a few days for the formal unwrapping of our gift to Indian users. Check back and we'll have news shortly."

Guess what - they've come up with Google Labs India. Right now they just have 2 tools but of course they'd keep adding useful stuff out there.

Have a nice Weekend everyone!!
