Google Venturing In Blogging? … Hiring Bloggers?
I am not talking about providing blogging software / service like Blogger. It looks like Google (at least Google India) may actually venture into blogging themselves. Their quarter page advertisement for hiring in Times of India (one of the leading Indian newspaper in English) is very interesting.
“Google is searching for writers who choose their words carefully and relish the spirit of competition.“
“If you have a clear, concise style and can use words to inform and persuade consumers, we would like to hear from you. We are looking for exceptional individuals to join the Google team in India…”
They are also organizing an offline competition - Google Wordmasters Challenge (details at www.google.co.in/wordmasters ) in 10 major Indian cities on 30th September, 2006. This is obviously a recuitment drive too.

to compete in market,excell by all means and strike the bull’s eye, it’s the only requirement that you should topple the old, out-dated blogs.
Rest is HISTORY.

when I was young,I carried much less books to school than my daughter .She lugs her bag.She has a 6 day week school every alternate week,as only 2nd & 4th saturdays are holidays.My husband & I we are both annoyed.every now & then we have an argument whether this is the right school.We should seriously consider changing schools.
What has not changed ,since then is-love for the school,principal sir,myteacher.What my daughter learns from her teacher is very important & sacred,as it was for us.
Our VEDAS say,
‘ACHARYA DEVO BHAVA’.
THE TEACHER IS EQUAL TO GOD.
THE TEACHER, TODAY,IS STILL EQUAL TO GOD.
THE TEACHER,WILL ALWAYS BE EQUAL TO GOD.

When Dr. Samuel Johnson met an old lady with a snuff box he asked for a pinch of the stuff in the following words: Madam, will u permit me to insert the extremeties of my digits into that of your odoreferous concavity to extract therefrom some of the pulverised atoms that would ascend my nasal promontary and cause grateful titillation to my olfactoroy nerves?
Snuffed out, are you?

I would like to take part in this competition because I have a flair for writing. Though I am not very experienced with any field of work, I would like to begin gathering experience and lauch myself into the world that looks ahead with new hopes from the new generation that is to take control…..that is people like us.Being a student of Sociology I am sure that I have a reason to think that I may fair well in this competition because I have an objective knowledge about society which others might lack!!
I’l be looking forward to your invitation to the event that you have arranged on 30th September.

Words…they are like homing pigeons…pamper them, let them fly…words will find their own way and come to rest on the blank page of your mind!

The numerical and the alphabet posit for our superior understanding of the world and beyond. Numbers elucidate logic and reasoning inexplicable otherwise; and lexical medium objectifies and quantifies the blabber of our mind that is an indispensable pre-requisite for human development and progress. This need is further felt in a rapidly changing world where a clear representation of thoughts is crucial for effective solutions. Such healthy synergy between Google and myself will help me cash in on my mental prowess by enriching my life experience thus.

It is a great opportunity to enjoy my favourite profession - writing. I am indeed looking ahead to the competition.

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny”
I’m not aware of the owner of the above quote. I have read it many, many times, every time i read i’m filled with a positive energy, which evokes an introspective meandering. It helps me in redefining simple human values, which were effotlessly passed on from generations yore. Why are we, in this generation have falied to do the same to our children? Where have we gone wrong? As parents? Or the children?
Google has no horizon in influencing the thoughts and the thinking process of the innumerable visitors every minute across the globe. We as thinking writers, are we not committed to the cause of passing on a generation with positive energy and simple values?
Think…. Commit…Lead…

word pictures can speak volumes and in this times of stresses with very little time available to every human, it becomes imperative to say whatever one wants to convey in as little time and fewer words as possible.
