I may not be Indian but I do write indian content. This blog appears in Guruji's search results for friendster .
In case you've never heard of Guruji.com, it's an Indian search engine, in the words of Anurag Dod, the company's CEO " [Guruji's] complex computing system crawls the web to identify Indian content, indexes the data and provides a simple keyword-based interface to access the information instantly..." (source: Tech2.com India).
The Indians I meet on the internet are not the only ones who think I'm Indian, search engines seems to think the same thing too.

I was tagged by Nick. He started a meme:
10 Items or Less, If you could only keep 10 things in the entire world what would you keep?
So there it is, 10 things or less I would keep.
1) the clothes I'm wearing minus the shoes
2) a bible
3) my thumb drive
4) my bookmarks
5) my chat archives
I can't think of anything else I really need right now in order to survive. Oh no! I've written a list of items I need to survive on the internet!

Phone Calls and SMS
I've had the opportunities to enchant a few of my online friends with my voice on the phone. Eftha, Dozy, Ahmed from Pakistan, Ahmed from Nigeria, Iftekar, and most recently Mahmoud and Mike and of course all those that I met offline - as I think of it there's one person I might be calling soon -
The phone impression is actually closer to the real life impression than the chat impression. Oh wait let me rephrase that. You have a better idea of how you'll feel towards a person by talking to him on the phone than you do by simply text chatting with him. You might have a really great time chatting with someone and then be annoyed or totally uncomfortable talking to him on the phone, chances are you'll feel the same way when you'll meet face to face. There's at least one person I've decided not to meet offline after I've talked to him on the phone.
I've sent SMS to only 2 people, Mahmoud (again) and Ali. Both of them were very happy to received them and they thanked me afterwards. I forgot to add my name at the end of the message but still they both knew it was from me!
SMS is good for people you can't meet online anymore but still want to stay in touch with each other. The only problem is that some people are charged for each sms they receive so you might want to talk about it with your friend before you bombard him with 50 sms a day. It's the same for phone calls, some people are charged for calls received on their cell phones.
