At a time dating way back to 7 years before i still remember paying 60 bucks to browse for an hour . Seven years later i still sit in front of this dumb comp doling out crap to people.Hell yeah Ive been browsing for a while now and my one eye has gotten red and sore after these night out's on the net ( thanks to asianets nightbird connections)
So then ...there was this time when i first saw my sisters visiting card with a yahoo email address written on it.Within a coupla days, after spending 120 bucks and treating the cafe "chettan" to some pepsi , i finaly made my prescence felt on the net.Yeah dudes net was pretty expensive and irritatingly slow those days .I mean i used to browse in a god damn cafe with 6 comps connected on a 59 kbps modem of satyam online .The net was infact so stupifying that every 10 minutes i could hear the modem crackling like a hungry frog as it reconnected.For christs sake we used to pay for an hour while we remain connected only for about half that time.Thanks to net sonic though half the public who were ignorant came to know only a while later cause most common pages were uploaded from the cache.
Anyway , i finally had an email id!!!!
Then thanks to MS WORD ( you never said word in those days , Microsoft added some weird weightage to the name .Now though its like shit man )i created a visiting card which i proudly handed over to any friend of mine who needed my phone number .Man in sixth standard those days , i could easily make out how stupefied my friends were.
So i continued on the same run and then created web pages after i learnt HTML from a friend.MY sis placed her next challenge .Get you name on google!!!
So i musta made a million web pages which i submitted to google and i still couldnt get my name in google when i put the keywords as nithin ramachandran.Yeah it hurt my ego like hell.
Getting my name into google became an obsession .Finally after getting to college , the college site was listed in google and my name appeared finally in the search tag .I still wasn't satisfied cause it never paid off since it wasn't my effort .So i continued with the web pages and my blog and then finally i just put in the words one day and there it appeared as the first link on the page of listing
mindless musings

google lists u... CONGRATS man..... and its nice having a memory trek down in tvm.... write about the red hero winner some day man....
oh no not another one...
looks like you too have fallen to the nefarious practices of the higher beings (that of being able to keep a tab on each organism on this planet).
better luck in your next life man...
Or another way would be to get an article published in The Hindu lol..that's how I got my name in..It's pretty neat..I mean the feeling of finding you listed lol..As vain as it is, gosh! gotta love it! :)
PS: Thanks for stopping by :)
On the contrary Nithin I didnt want my name to come first on Google there was a time all the first 10 results produced my details. The biggest drawback is you are spammed to death.
Peace.
