When I reached halfway writing this post, it almost sounded like a COO’s message to the company!!

This day last year saw the birth of ayruz web holdings with me and my partners Kenney Jacob and Sanil Subhash finalizing the partnership documents. Everything else since then was the ride of a lifetime! The firm quickly grew up into a team of hand-picked 12 super stars.

Having a well-organized blog can make a huge difference in the ability of your readers to navigate your site quickly and efficiently.

My first sour experience with my first apple product. I bought an iPod touch last thanksgiving and so far, I am pretty impressed with its capabilities. But last weekend, I tried to update my OS into the latest 3.1.3 and ended up pretty much bricking my ipod. The screen was stuck at the sync screen and refused to respond to any action.

And when I tried to restore my ipod back into the previous, I got a error 14. Stumped and worried with all the bricking stories, I spent more than two days searching for a solution. And at some point of tinkering with it, it showed up as an iphone! (sigh..wish it was true!)

Its here. The biggest unconference in Kerala is back with the 8th edition. BarCamp Kerala(8) is at MACFAST, Thiruvala on March 28th, 2010.

The most expected product launch of recent years by Apple was definitely the iPad. Those following various tech blogs of the sphere would have heard at least one rumour of the much anticipated device. But when Steve Jobs announced it last month, the reaction could be pretty much summerized as Ooh! Ooh! Oh.

But this post is not about the iPad, but about the ambitious Indian startup called Notion Ink and its product Adam. The touted iPad killer impressed me a lot personally and it definitely seems to be one of those devices I would be looking at if I was to ditch my laptop and embrace touch.

You know how arranged weddings in India are, the whole family resume is important when you are getting married! My brother for whom a bride is being searched at the moment has put my professional life in the spotlight.

What do you do?

I am an Internet Marketing Consultant.

Usually the conversation thread stops right there because most of the time the person asking has no idea what the hell my job profile is! While its amusing to see that priceless expression, I decided to answer it on my blog anyway
