Learnt new and easy way to update my blog
Despite of my curiosity to explore new things, I always think twice to use anything which is technology related – due to a fear of loosing privacy and then also due to misuse of my information. The day I purchased my laptop, I wanted to try windows live writer – however considering my experience of using Microsoft products, I always postponed it. 
Today, I finally decided to use this service and frankly – found it useful. Its easy to install and also easy to use. You don’t need to stay connected always to write a blog, draft it and publish it later whenever you get connected and add watermark, which is a cool feature.
I am sure, this tool is going to help me a lot in updating my blog regularly – at least I hope so since its not supporting my lazy thoughts to wait till I connect with internet.

Funny Situation...
Since I went with my family, I was roaming here and there and suddenly I noticed a door in front of a shop with a sign “Ladies Toilet” with a lock and no one to attend it along with charges and a FINE print “You Will Get Keys at Gents Toilet”
What the FCUK – why will a girl go to gent’s toilet to get the keys - especially when it’s on the other side of the building and with no direction markings?
I can only imagine a chaos when there is urgency – God knows what the complex maintenance team is thinking!

Struggle to Survive!!
One fine day we took a small break from office work and went out to grab a quick refreshment to fill our energy levels. As usual the place was crowded so it took a while to capture a corner at that place – adjacent to which a road construction was going on. While sipping the tea, we noticed a group of guys working there. In between them there was a handicapped person– most probably suffering from Polio whose legs were not working. He was looking confident, full of life and happy. To our amaze, he was actually one of the most active guy in that group who was carrying the construction material over his head and making sure that work won’t stop for any reason. He was carrying out all sort of jobs which a normal man can do however with a difference that he was having a smile on his face.
It was quite an experience to see him working since in today’s economy where managing a food for those who are below poverty line is like winning a war especially when your body is not supporting you fully. He was independent and I am sure he must be taking care of his family.
He sat an example for those who take advantage of their physical challenges and look for simple way out of struggle. I also appreciate the team who allowed him to work with them - Hats off to them for believing in his abilities and I am sure they are not disappointed.
I’d like the world to recognize such talent and help them to understand the meaning of life. Begging is a curse, don’t encourage it – instead give them opportunities to prove them.
I URGE you take responsibility and help such warriors who fight daily to survive in this cruel and mean world to win respect and peace.
BE HUMAN!

SEO Audit - Free Web Based tool
From the initial days of my career in IT industry, I got very much impressed by how SEO tactics help companies in increasing their profits without investing much on marketing efforts. Companies used to hire professionals and consultants like me who can help them to reap maximum benefit out of these online marketing strategies/efforts and help them to grow faster than their competitors.
In process of learning about search engine optimization, search engine marketing I tried to collect information from experts who have fair amount of experience in this field but somehow I felt that the due to the fear of competition some of them were reluctant in sharing the knowledge. After few efforts, I thought that its better to extended my search with the help of different search engines like Google, Yahoo, AOL etc so that I can have an access to different forums, blogs and can connect with experts around the world. After collecting the high level information, first thing I did was to search the free tools which could potentially help me in doing the SEO audits of websites - based on which I can provide my recommendation to my potential clients.
Searching free tools for SEO Audits and website analysis was not a simple task since the list of the tools was huge and there was no single tool which can do all the required stuff. I remember that after completing the 1st level of search I was having a list of more than 140 tools, which went down to 20 after reviewing them one by one and again in those 20 only few were totally free tools and rest were partially paid (Incase you want to use full services). I will start sharing the details of those tools in my blog one by one so that in case any new comers wanted to search for this information, they can easily access it.

I will start with one of my favourite Web based instant SEO audit tool - Xinu Returns. It’s one of the best and freely available web based tool which is really helpful for beginners to understand the analysis, however it has one drawback - you cannot download the reports into excel (But you can copy past the stuff :) which is a good thing).
PS: I have seen few small companies using this free tool and charging their clients like anything!

Media Alert from Nielsen news - Top 10 Blogging Topics in May
Swine Flu was the most discussed topic in April 2009, according to Nielsen news. Bloggers were helping world by providing useful information related to this. In India itself, according to today’s news 31 infected patients/cases have been found so far. According to experts its cure will take at least 6 more months to come to India – though I am not sure it’s available any where else too.
Recently released Nielsen news shows that in the month of May, Swine Flu has been dropped to number 8 wherein Memorial Day and Star trek has taken the top position. Politics again is able to take position in this list – thanks for Barak Obama's desire to pass a new credit card reform law and his visits to different places.
Here is the list:
1. Memorial Day
2. Star Trek
3. Barack Obama
4. Dick Cheney
5. Notre Dame
6. Cinco de Mayo
7. Mobile Phones
8. Flu Virus
9. Sonia Sotomayor
10. Terminator Salvations
