Google Is Great

No, no. This is not about the 'morality' of Google's business practices and all that stuff.

I just want to point out a few neat stuff about Google that you might or might not be familiar with.

I learned from someone a few years back that to learn the meaning of a word, you have to ask Google to 'define:AnyWord'.

I use that trick once in a while. Also, I love to check out the city temperatures in various top cities of the world during the peak of summer or the depths of winter.

Currency Stories: India and China

I am skeptical about all the song and dance about the falling rupee. Is India's economy on a fundamentally different trajectory than China's? What is the direction that the experts are hoping India's economy should take? What is going to be the path of India's development?
