Now when we think social media is only a platform of doing some business, but this not the only motive to be associated with a social media network.
When a 25 year old TV Journalist Soumya Viswanathan murdered on her way to home from work, and police could not find any single clue to trace the criminal, then this social community came into the picture, face book has started with a group where the number of people joined in 1st hour were more then 100’s. Voices are coming all over the world. It’s growing like anything; this is a great use of social media network, if face book’s group can make some difference to the group of leader who are not responding on the death of Soumya Viswanathan. Then I will say make millions of sites and come with public voice.
She was a young lady and doing well in her work, police failed to find anything after 3 days of her death.
Soumya's tragic story is not the first. Running a search with the word justice throws up over one thousand results on Orkut, a sure sign that the power of the Internet is being put to good use and a reminder to the powers that be, and to those that have departed, that we remember.
Let’s this Social Media always help any people who are not getting the expected light to solve problem. I really appreciate this kind of movement by all the social community users…Great work, keep it up.

The Bamboo - Sourav's Chitchat
Once upon a time, in the heart of the Western Kingdom, lay a beautiful garden. And there, in the cool of the day, the Master of the garden was wont to walk. Of all the denizens of the garden, the most beautiful and most beloved was gracious and noble bamboo.
Year after year, bamboo grew yet more noble and gracious, conscious of his Master's love and watchful delight, but modest and gentle withal. And often when the wind came to revel in the garden, Bamboo would cast aside his grave stateliness, to dance and play right merrily, tossing and swaying and leaping and bowing in joyous abandon, leading the Great Dance of the garden, Which most delighted the Master's heart.
Now, once upon a day, the Master himself drew near to contemplate his Bamboo with eyes of curious expectancy. And Bamboo, in a passion of adoration, bowed his great head to the ground in loving greeting. The Master spoke: "Bamboo, Bamboo, I would use you."
Bamboo flung his head to the sky in utter delight. The day of days had come, the day for which he had been made, the day to which he had been growing hour by hour, the day in which he would find his completion and his destiny.
His voice came low: "Master, I'm ready. Use me as Thou wilt." "Bamboo," – The Master's voice was grave --- "I would have to take you and cut you down!" A trembling of great horror shook Bamboo…"Cut …me… down ? Me.. Who thou, Master, has made the most beautiful in all thy Garden…cut me down! Ah, not that. Not that. Use me for the joy, use me for the glory, oh master, but cut me not down!"
Beloved Bamboo,"—The Master's voice grew graver still—"If I cut you not down, I cannot use you." The garden grew still. Wind held his breath. Bamboo slowly bent his proud and glorious head. There was a whisper: "Master, if thou cannot use me other than to cut me down.. Then do thy will and cut".
"Bamboo, beloved Bamboo, I would cut your leaves and branches from you also". "Master, spare me. Cut me down and lay my beauty in the dust; but would thou also have to take from me, my leaves and branches too?" "Bamboo, if I cut them not away, I cannot use you."
The Sun hid his face. A listening butterfly glided fearfully away. And Bamboo shivered in terrible expectancy, whispering low: "Master, cut away"
"Bamboo, Bamboo, I would yet… split you in two and cut out your heart, for if I cut not so, I cannot use you." Then Bamboo bowed to the ground: "Master, Master… then cut and split." So did the Master of the garden took Bamboo… And cut him down…and hacked off his branches…and stripped off his leaves…and split him in two…and cut out his heart.
And lifting him gently, carried him to where there was a spring of fresh sparkling water in the midst of his dry fields. Then putting one end of the broken Bamboo in the spring and the other end into the water channel in His field, the Master laid down gently his beloved Bamboo… And the spring sang welcome, and the clear sparkling waters raced joyously down the channel of bamboo's torn body into the waiting fields. Then the rice was planted, and the days went by, and the shoots grew and the harvest came. In that day Bamboo, once so glorious in his stately beauty, was yet more glorious in his brokenness and humility. For in his beauty he was life abundant, but in his brokenness he became a channel of abundant life to his Master's world.

The Wings of Burden – Sourav’s Chitchat
An old legend relates that long ago God had a great many burdens which He wished to have carried from one place to another on earth, so He asked the animals to lend a hand. But all of them began to make excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified; the lion, too proud; and so on. Finally the birds came to God and said, "If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we'll be glad to carry them for you. We are small but we would like to help."
So God fastened upon the back of each one a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, and did not seem to feel the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seems to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.
When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, there were wings in their place, wings which enabled them to fly to the sky and the tree tops.
They had learned how to carry their burdens, and their loads had become wings to carry them nearer to God.
Burdens we carry for others may become wings of the spirit, to lift us into happiness such as we have never known.

Life is full of unfulfilled dream and run to achieve them, is it true?
Now a day’s life has become more materialistic, where we have less time for ourselves, however we spend ample of time with ourselves. We are not that much into our life. We always think what we need and how to get the list of never ending list.
Where I want a life which should say that if you are there with me then my heart sing songs. If you are with me then life is full of happiness and if you are not there then every happiness is untouched. It’s like you are my life. Life has nothing to do without you.
If you are there with me I have ways to reach our fortune. If you are not there then it’s like no target to achieve. I’m all alone even being in million people around.
In last couple of days I have gained something and probably lost all. Is this the life I have ever dreamed off?
Answer is certainly no. I have always dreamed off life like the way a young person dream. So, what is the reason behind not getting all at a go is life has phase to give, or there are limitation from life as well. Or it’s more designed to perform this way?
Looking for some question to be solved, don’t know when that time will come or will it come ever, do I have to take up the life as it’s coming alone. I need more out of life for sure, just exploring the way to be there, where I can choose what I shall go with and what not. Till that the search continues.
I wish myself happy searching…. Best of luck Sourav Ganguly

Working Style at Icronex under Massive Pressure
Now day’s life has changed a lot, while comparing with earlier office working style now days all the people are much keener to perform better to be there.
I have started with a small company and now while working with a giant my personal experience says I have changed a lot. I take decision much quick and I don’t care what other are thinking about my own judgments, as long my upper management is happy with my work.
Sometime I do push myself while taking some hard step, like asking someone to put extra to get the work done in time, or doing some late hours in office. I also this may have a bad impact on my reputation.
At the same time I also think that working under a pressure is always good because you always come up with your best while performing under the hot condition.
As we all know that coal became diamond under a enormous pressure, like that I have a team who puts the best in work no matter what happens they always comes up to my anticipation and I really think that they are improving themselves by this as I’m also improving my skills under stress and making a team perform.
Soon or later this will going to give me something, as from the day one till I joined my current organization I used to work more then my working hours, but that paid off when I joined this Icronex Technologies. I really love the way this company works, it’s all about performance driven place, where all people get clap for doing great work and get the scold for not meting the target.

iPhone in India is a big flop but Apple still going fancy!!
This week in Sourav 's Chitchat is a bit different story...
Here in India Apple iPhone is a big flop, at the same time in other part of globe Australia making some of the expensive iPhone ever Sourav Ganguly says this is where Apple is making another move by selling the iPhone at more then 50 grand.
If you are a die heart fan of some luxury stuff & if you wish to make your pocket a bit lighter then look at this, this is one of the best iPhone Apple has ever made, this iPhone is really a diamond.
Apple has tied up with Australian jeweler Peter Aloisson and the result of this named as iPhone Princess Plus – also has got the tag of world’s most expensive iPhone. Isn’t it crazy?
138 of the total amount of diamonds are a “princess cut” stone, that’s the reason why iPhone has got another name of iPhone Princess Plus.
The other one is even much higher on the count of diamond with 180, named as iPhone brilliant cut. There are total of 17.75 carats are inlaid with 18k white gold. Sounds great right?
While writing this I was also having a thought in my mind to hold this diamond mine in hand which can also make me talk to my girl friend and mom…
Well every time thoughts are not enough to make it happen, the cost of the iPhone Princess Plus is around $176,400. well if you have some less amount to spend to grab something like this then Apple will not make you disappointed this time as they did with the launch in India, you can get the alternative version of Apple diamond studded iPhone with $66,150. This one is brilliant cut. I’m not sure with the carat of iPhone Princess Cut and the gold “K” but for the time being its news that Apple has launched diamond studded iPhone. So, Guys if you can and wish to grab one then contact Apple iPhone.
I hope all iPhone lover will love this post…

Apple iPhone has lost an assured buyer – Sourav Ganguly
I was looking for iPhone before Apple launched the iPhone 2.0, iPhone 3G.
I wanted to get one from US and use it here. But after the launch of latest iPhone, and when the declaration made that iPhone will be official in India. I was quite happy about that I would be a proud owner of latest Apple iPhone. But due to the very heavy price launch I had to say good bye to iPhone till the time Apple thinks to cut the price.
I found out some reason not to go for iPhone at this kind of price level…
I’m never against the product; it’s a great product to hold in hands, where at a glance you are getting all that you may look for. It’s a great phone, it’s cool 16 Gig iPod, it’s a cool GPS device, cool camera, and lots more…
1. For me the 1st thing I would consider before looking at iPhone is the price, why there is a huge jump in price in India? Apple is selling the iPhone at max $299 in US and why we have to pay more then double the amount to get it here? Do we have enough of money to pay Apple this way? Or Apple thinks that this is one of the best cellular markets where they can make more money?
2. I don’t think this would be a wise move to go for an iPhone at 31k (min) where other country gets it for 8500 (min) I think Apple should reconsider the market price of iPhone in India….
3. Along with the time when Apple will realize that they are into a huge loss from the expected ROI they will cut the price in India. I don’t want to call my self “I GOT IT BEFORE YOU” guy and pay huge extra amount,
4. I will loose my number or I have to retain 2 number where again Apple is not getting anything but yes Vodafone or Airtel will gain another consumer to top up the business, Can’t we get our old number converted to the contract? Apple will loose a lot like me for this reason.
5. Well iPhone 3G comes with Vodafone or Airtel mobile service provider right? But does either of them have this 3G added with the service they provide? I think in coming many India has to stay without the 3G service which Apple has designed for iPhone users… none of my reason are against iPhone it’s all about Apple marketing and launching its brand new revolutionary product in India. Well I don’t have much to say about it because I think I don’t posses that much knowledge to do so. But being a prospective buyer of Apple iPhone, I must say Apple has certainly lost one customer and will loose many more like me.
If any one has given a look over the product sell rate of iPhone, In India every month more then million people take new mobile connection where Apple could only manage to sell few thousands of iPhone, where according to my understanding Apple could have done much more than that. I think at the day of launch if they would have come up with the same price what they have in US and other country then they would have needed more people to felicitate the long queue.
For the service provider it’s all and the same thing but the thing is Apple is making a fun out of them for sure.
ALL the best APPLE, Sorry I can’t take up your iPhone...

Magical frog - Sourav Ganguly With Chit Chat
Today Sourav Ganguly has something really good to make the women smile:
A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.
She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.
The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."
The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you,but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!"
The woman said, "That's okay." For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make Your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to. "
The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me." So, -she's the most beautiful woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you." The woman said,
"That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."
So, -she's the richest woman in the world!
The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."
Moral of the story According to Sourav Ganguly: Women are clever. Don't mess with them.

Modern Panchtantra Story - By Sourav Ganguly
Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.
One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe),
He started praying to the River Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.
As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."
She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"
Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his. The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."
The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer
Asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up my own ?"
The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM !". So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium!!
Sourav Ganguly 's Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Want to go back to memory lane – Question is Can I ?
Sometime I really work with myself to solve some questions. But as me, I always end up getting nothing. I asked Sourav Ganguly (my self) why I’m like this. When I know I have nothing to loose then why can’t I go for everything. Do I really have something to loose. Or it’s the feeling that I will loose something which is mine (according to my absent minded though). However I think that I should work on my own mind restructuring once again. Will this be the solution of my problems? Still I’m not sure.
Sometime I act very confusing as I’m now. But some how I’m finding myself is talking me now while I’m drafting this blog post. I want to say Sourav don’t do which you can do for ever, you are able to take up things now as you have a hot blood, but what if you become cold blooded. Will you be able to endure? Sourav Ganguly thinks that he will be where the answer is BIG NO…
Sometime we don’t have the control over our doings. But at the later stage of life we realize that those did were not correct. Then we pay the penalty to life. Life has every thing stored for us in its hard drive; the best part is it doesn’t crash ever. It will be there till the time life wants it to be there.
I started with lots of motive to make it happen, rather than a normal date… So, the move was a bit different, but some how it turned out to be the most happening day of my life, I wish if I could go back to those days and say a few words to myself before giving a hug…
I know it’s very confusing but let the confusion be the part of my life. I will enjoy being confused. I have given the opportunity to life to make this confusion work or not work. Actually other than this I’ve nothing form my end to pull this up. Again all the best to me (Sourav Ganguly)

Sometime we don’t have the control over our doings. But at the later stage of life we realize that those did were not correct. Then we pay the penalty to life. Life has every thing stored for us in its hard drive; the best part is it doesn’t crash ever. It will be there till the time life wants it to be there.
I started with lots of motive to make it happen, rather than a normal date… So, the move was a bit different, but some how it turned out to be the most happening day of my life, I wish if I could go back to those days and say a few words to myself before giving a hug…
I know it’s very confusing but let the confusion be the part of my life. I will enjoy being confused. I have given the opportunity to life to make this confusion work or not work. Actually other than this I’ve nothing form my end to pull this up. Again all the best to me (Sourav Ganguly)

It was a blasting weekend all together
Here is Sourav Ganguly’s weekend update….
I know my weekend update posts are more of a similar kind. But some how I think I do describe my weekends in a well manner way… this time my weekend took a bit slowly start, as things were not moving as is desired.
However I took that and decided not to crib on that, I started doing my house work, as it was pending from a long time. So, I spend some time at kitchen while listing to music. Then one call made me move out of my home stuff & move.
As this weekend I again missed my SEO class. So got good time to spend with my people (I think so), went for a movie, I don’t want to write anything about the movie as it was all bullshit. Some we dragged ourselves till the end of the movie. Then we took another step to make ourselves out of the tragic movie, so we all went to amusement park, some how it was good, we took some ride and it was all shattering.
Sunday was Janmasthami, Lord Krishna’s Birthday, Both of us went to ISCON and spent some time with God; it was full of mob some how I think that on these days people become all the more devotee. So they had to make the way to God as early as they could, I think they have a limited time for God, we stood in the line for some time then we made ourselves inside the temple. Now the entire game starts, even the priest were also having fun seeing the mob coming towards the God not to see and pray but to get some garlands & Prasad. People were so much into that they even didn’t realize or may be realized but failed to react that those garlands were beneath our feats. Some how we took our part and came out of the temple, but one thing made me happy that my purpose was done, I wanted to give her a place from where she can worship lord and some how I got success in that.
From there we went to CP and had some time in CCD. But some how it’s was all the new… as if I’m there for the 1st time with no one around me. We ordered some sandwich and coffee, we had it and from there I had a plan to get myself a couple of new games DVD which I failed to materialize. Then again back to home. Wanted to have some food so started making it, it was lovely to have rice and dal after such a long time.
Around 5:30 PM we again started our way to Noida where we decided to make our materialized turn true, so another visit to the state of the art amusement park and had a lods of fun there. Here is a small video about it… it was all the more fun there, but some how I think there could be a bit more with that, when we are together but yet far “all the best to us” for what ever we are doing. Lets hope this bring happiness to us.

Unconditional Love - Sourav's Chitchat
As Promised I will have something new for you guys on every thursday as Sourav Ganguly's Chitchat... So, Here is the doze for this Thursday...:
Some time ago, a friend of mine punished his 4 year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the small child tried to decorate a box to put under the tree. Nevertheless the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said "This is for you Daddy."
He was embarrassed by his earlier over reaction... He opened the box and his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.
Then he yelled at her:
DON'T YOU KNOW when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside of it???
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,
Oh Daddy it's not empty, I blew kisses into the box, all for you Daddy.
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her for forgiveness. My friend told me that he kept that gold box near his bed for years.
Whenever he was discouraged he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there. In a very real sense each of us has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Bravo Sushil Kumar – India got another medal in Olympic 2008
I would say this year India is doing well in Olympic; we have another medal in our pocket, and got another reason to cheer for our Olympic players.
He drove his way to bronze medal after beating Kazakhstan's wrestler in a play-off in the men's 66 kg freestyle wrestling at the Beijing Olympics.
Sushil lost ion the first round to Ukraine’s Andriy Stadnik in the men's 66 kg freestyle event.
Stadnik took the game well as he managed to get the 1st point but Sushil leveled it soon but the tough Ukrainian took the lead again as he led the first round 2-1. At the end of the game Sushil own the game with a huge lead of 4-15. Soruav Ganguly cheers for Sushil Kumar & wishes him all the best in future games as well… By the way I’m cheering for all Indian Olympic players. All should give us something.
Once again Great Sushil… Well Done…
Contextual marketing – the world of text with image
Contextual marketing is a good way to gain some return from you website. Contextual advertisement or contextual marketing is targeted to the specific individual surfing a web page or website. This system scan the entire web page content and return with the appropriate advertisement (text ad’s or image ad)
Now days the contextual marketing is also used by some search engines to show the SER (Search Engine Results). These kinds of search engines are programmed to return the exact contextual advertisement for any given query by user.
Me (Sourav Ganguly) personally don’t find this system a good option until your motive is to generate page views. If you campaign requires only page view then this is the best way to make it. Cause with some interesting product or service you can fetch some good amount of page views. Google adsense is the biggest in this contextual advertisement service provider after the Acquisition of DoubleClick.com, other then Google Yahoo Publisher Network is of the best one.
Because of the contextual marketing a lods of web masters are making good amount of money so as search engines. Every impression and click has a value in contextual advertisement. According to my study a large portion of Google’s earning comes from Google adsense. Google serve millions of ads for contextual marketing to publishers.
For media house contextual marketing plays a vital role as every house goes through some process for online marketing and this contextual marketing make one process simple as it’s done by computer program. Where media house saves hours of human resource and even reach thousand’s of website they would like to reach.

Ganguly Sourav internet marketing
Sourav Ganguly search engine marketing
But I failed to get my blog appear in 1st 3 SERP's for any of the above keywords. I’m really confused with my name (Sourav Ganguly). When ever I think of optimizing my blog for Sourav Ganguly I found it’s very tough, as millions of info is already their on Google. How does Google will make out that this is not Sourav Ganguly the cricketer but it’s me Sourav Ganguly an Internet marketing person. I think in my entire life the competition of SERP rank would with my name only. I can work for many clients with some tough keywords but when it comes to my own name then I think I’m useless.
Any comment of any reader would be greatly appreciated.

Search Engine Marketing with 2nd tier Search Engines
You being an online advertiser, you are always concentrated towards 1st tier search engines. I.E. Google, Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN adCenter
Marjory most of us does the online pay for click campaigns that way, the real challenge comes when we move to 2nd tier Search engines. My (Sourav Ganguly) personal experience it’s very tough to work only with 2nd tier Search Engines when you always dream to work with some cool tool like Google editor or you have some API developed for other Search Engine. I have an experience of working with Google, YMS! & MSN over 3 years and now I’m also in the same boat. The current industry of mine doesn’t support to go to all 1st tier Search Engines.
2nd Tier also includes search engines such as SearchFeed, Enhance, Kanoodle, 7Search, PageSeeker, Search123, and so on. While all of them combined represent less user traffic that Google AdWords alone, you will find that you can actually get very decent positions on a lot of them without spending lot money.
While comparing the same with the quality of the traffic I gate in compare to Google only it’s like 1:10. for example if Google gives a conversion rate of 5% in these search engines you can expect 1%- 2% then again it also depends on what you are promoting.
But one good thing about the 2nd tier is the CPC you pay. It ultimately helps you to keep a hold over your ROI. If you are paying less for clicks then you can afford to have more clicks without sale.
But when it comes to clicks what I have observed that in these engines you get a lods of fraud clicks, you can’t even think of having so many clicks without making any sales when you have the industry best of even higher promotion of your product. I have seen who ate my all daily budget without any sale or even at the very 1st hour of the day. I left with nothing other than waiting for another day to begin and next day same story repeats.
So, over all it’s a very bad situation to work only with 2nd tier search engine. My Personal experience is to try with some engine, but make sure to tweak your ad text now and then and see what performance.

Google Search Info - US Searches Share Hit 70.77%
Google Search Info By Sourav Ganguly
Each month at Hitwise we release the share of searches by each of the major search engines to measure the impact upon the search landscape. The report tends to tell a similar story each month in terms of the ranking by share of searches, but for July (the four weeks ending July 26, 2008); Google reached a new milestone and accounted for 70.77 percent of all U.S. searches. Google’s share of searches increased 10% over the same month last year and 2% over the previous month. Yahoo! Search, MSN Search (including Live.com), and Ask followed with 18.65%, 5.36%, and 3.53% share of searches, respectively.
(Image From Hitwise)
At least some of the growth in searches can be attributed to the growing share of visits to Google. Looking back over the past 13 months, in addition to the growing share of searches, traffic to Google has continued to increase. The market share of visits to Google in July increased 25% over July 2007 and has grown each month since January in 2008. Retention of this increased traffic is also coming into play as Google has maintained a consistent returning visitor rate (visitors who have visited the website within a 30 day period) of 95% each month since October 2007
This is not revolutionary information but even can’t be put aside. Each Month Hitwise releases the search share of most popular search engines. Last week of July 2008 Google has reached a new level 70.77% of all U.S. searches. Google searches made a boost of around 10% last year July, and around 2% growth over last month. Yahoo! Search, MSN (which includes live.com) & ask.com got 18.65%, 5.36%, and 3.53% share of searches, respectively.
Seeing the graph over the past 13 months the growth of search volume can be attributed with the Google lovers… Google share of searches has grown by 25% year to year (2007July till 2008 July) this is a huge hike in searches received by Google. Google has managed to keep a very high returning visitor rate on the same site of 95% (who has visited the site within 30 days time) since 2007 October.
