Snapshot from Wikipedia page We all have used Wikipedia at least once in our lifetime, and if you are familiar with the internet, you would know that almost all the information can be found on Wikipedia. It's been more than a decade since Wikipedia came into existence and soon after its birth it became really famous. Any event, person, Information, anything at all… you may find it on wiki and if not, you may not find it at all. Do you know that it was all for free. Wikipedia never had ads on it (One reason, among many others, why we love it so much) and it ran just based on a community of volunteers. It is the only website amongst the Top Ten being run non-profit. Very recently, I have found that Wikipedia is requesting donations to help it sustain.

We just sat and watched and then made comments on India's situation. Think before you raise questions. We will have more discussion on this and you are wel...

Now, I don't wanna brag about myself, so I will say this beforehand, that this is about me but in a good way and not as arrogance and attitude. Yesterday I met a girl at my workplace. She is a new in-training colleague. Now this is not about what comes to your mind immediately. This girl is being mentioned because she wants to start up a blog. And I somehow got to know it while having a casual conversation. So we immediately got to talking about this crazy thing, and in a crazy way. I must say here that I love blogging, Though, I do not get much time to blog, you know being busy and all. the usual excuse. But I do love it. And whenever I can, I Blog. Now this girl wants to start up a blog and cannot decide what topic to start with, how to go about it, and rest of the things we all would have thought of when we planned on starting up a blog.
