Does my firm website give you a feel of a big-time company? If it does… M glad!!! :) :) :) Hehe.

This season I got a couple of similar mails as below and yea a few sometime back too.

Sir,

I ——— from SOME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, Hyderabad along with my co-students would like to visit your company between — of january to —- of january with regard to the convinence of the industries. The basic idea of our trip is to gain basic industrial knowledge which we can use in our later stages of our career. So I request you to provide us a chance to visit your company and help us to gain knowledge.

I request to consider our sincere request and give an oppurtunity to meet you to gain knowledge.

Thanking you

Company… Industrial visit… whoa! I didnt want to disturb the view of this guy and that of many others (u knw it feels good :)) but had to tell them all… mine is just a small website designing firm. I just hire people to get work done and work myself. Thats all. I wonder if there even will be proper place for you guys if you come in 40-50 numbers. Lol!

So at the end I just helped myself with a laugh.

Well Goa is truly an upbeat place for tourists. Being an engineering student myself I can guess what these students basically lookout for when deciding on such trips. And you are like, any damn company will do when u get to go 2 Goa!

My first fall off my Bajaj Pulsar 150

A fantastic final paper of your semester, the much awaited end of exam right in front of you, too excited to kick start your bike, too careless to notice the side stand LED glowing and you are just set to vroom… you must have got it right by now, this guy ought to taste some mud. Ah… How embarrassing to tell that I had my first fall off my so beloved Pulsar 150 today. And you do know how :(. Well it turns out to be even more embarrassing when you havnt had a fall after the first time you learnt to ride your bicycle when you were a kid.

All through the few seconds I and my friend skidded with the bike that ripped off my favourite new trousers…I was only thinking of what part of my bike was getting damaged. Once the trio came to a halt all lying on the road above eachother, I looked back to see my rear view mirror broken into infinite pieces. Got up, lifted my bike and then sat down staring at an all the more damaged bike, wondering how the hell did it happen to me! I thought I was a good rider. :oops: (more…)

Happy Birthday Goa Web Solutions

Its been a year today that I had started a website designing and hosting firm – Goa Web Solutions. Feels great that my baby is now aged one year :). When I look back to all the ups and downs in business (and hopefully there will be only ups heretofore), the silly things that have got me upset about, the good things that made me jump in joy…its been a long ride to reach here.

A big thanks to all my friends and wellwishers who have been with me all through and ofcourse how can I forget to thank my clients for without the trust they showed in me it wouldnt have been possible. :)

Just a little earlier in the day, I had a suprise in store for the site visitors on… Yeah a few hours left. Guess you can surely try your luck too!

Google Apps for Your Domain

Smiles, smiles, smiles! Google Apps for Your Domain is a free service that offers private labeled email, Instant Messenger, Event Calender, a WYSIWYG based web page creator and stuff. I guess its been online for over two months now. What I was looking out into it was the Gmail offered for the email service. :)


Who wouldn’t want your domain email to have all the features of and power packed into Gmail. So I signed up there and within a matter of an hour I was running my email on Google servers. 2GB of space and a hulluva features over SquirrelMail(the default mail webmail client on my server), its brought a smile.
