True story

Wanting something too badly even if you really need it that badly actually takes it away. Wanting to a limit may get you to it, but need or desire beyond that threshold will doom you.

They say if you want someone bad enough, you get it.

But what you want beyond measure, doesn't come.

Google will never kill SEO. Do you know why?

Google will never kill SEO. Do you know why?

Contrary to what most people might think, Google will never kill SEO. In some respects and to some extent Google even likes SEO. Why?

Ever wondered why Google keyword tool etc is free?
They themselves provide the door to their secrets, to tweak them. They don't have to. Very few people would get them if they don't. But they want a level playing field and those who are good deserve page 1. That is why.
They don't need to provide these details, traffic details etc. But they want only good people to make it to the top and that requires a level playing field. That is why Google does this.

How do you think Google Adsense and Adwords tweak themselves without letting you know?
When the best people know which ads are going to make the most amount of money, they choose only them and in doing so not only they but Google too makes money. It is a WIN ALL situation for everybody.
If you need to guess in the dark and don't know how to compete, you will never make money for all those keywords and nor will Google. And Google definitely doesn't want that.

Yes, Google does dislike overestimating or overvaluing a website through SEO. And thus blackhat tricks and lots of other techniques are slowly getting banned or at least losing their value with time. It doesn't encourage SEO in all respects, only the part which is good for the people.

Google wants a content driven Internet, be it in the form of articles or videos, but quality content which is valued by people. And if you bring quality to the table through something of value, you will forever stay in business. :)

The truth about packages

1. The high packages you hear are so rare that only 1 in 10 of the top 1% get them. So you are barely looking at the top 0.01% and there are more people who have their own business or startup and earn much more than these guys, if you really want to look at such a rare minority.

2. When the package is unbelievable then 100% of the times it is a foreign package and most likely worth peanuts in that country, far lower than the max domestic package in real terms.

3. Average to above average people even at IITs and IIMs are paid rather modestly.

4. These packages are still lesser than what Ivy grads get. The best of India compares to 80% of Harvard and the like, the best of Ivy is way beyond all of India together.


IITs
Average salary
7-9 lacs a year

Dream salary, top 10%
>12 lacs

Top 1%
>18 lacs

Maximum or near maximum domestic package with maybe one or two rare exceptions excluded
20-25 lacs

Average foreign package $60k or less

Max foreign package $150-200+


IIM A

Average package 14+ lacs

Dream package 17+

Top 1% 20 lacs

Maximum 20-40 lacs

Average foreign $100k

Maximum foreign $200+ k


Delhi University (Stephens. Sscbs. Srcc. Lsr)

Average 5-6
Top 10% 7+
Top 1% 9+
Maximum domestic 8-12
Besides, the majority doesn't get placed except in Sscbs


Also, even these packages only have cash in hand as 60-70% of the ctc a 15 lac package is like rs80000-90000 cash in hand per month.

Many big companies deduct for stuff like office maintenance etc to the extent of 10-20% of gross etc and then there are taxes etc.

Only about 2-3% or less of IIM A and Top IITs get over a lakh cash in hand as domestic packages strain out of college. Of these 99% people make around 1.1.25 per month, so they barely scrape through.

Those who really study in college do know all this, except not the reporters of course :)

Proof of God

1.Decision Maker

Who will decide how the big bang will happen? When it will happen? Who will decide how an atom will look? Somebody needs to decide and design such stuff. Even if they exist from infinity, back at time = minus infinity, you need to simultaneously design how the world will look. How electrons will be different from protons. Even if everything is a mess in reality, who ensured what was so that it led to this mess, which it isn’t anyway.

So the thing is, that you need somebody who can design the world. Why do the laws of force exist the way they do? Why not the reverse? Somebody needs to empower nature with it. And if nature itself is powerful enough to decide it, then it is powerful enough to change it as well, or to decide whatever it wants. In that case, you call it nature and we call it God.

Who created God? God. God’s definition includes an element where He can exist outside time and can create himself infinitely such that God itself created God due to the time factor. There is no other way to explain an infinite timeline even if somebody proposes that, although I don’t believe in an infinite physical timeline for this Universe, but that is not the point.

The point is, you need something which will determine things. Even if it is a random algorithm, who made it random. Who decided it?


2. Theory of Probability

When too many co-incidences tend to occur together, they are no longer co-incidences and hence an external force is at work. Such was what even Albert Einstein used to think. Have a look at the Universe around you. The probability that it would ever exist in the conditions it does, the probability that there would ever be life, the probability that everything be perfect and fine tuned rationally (assuming there is no rational force to monitor it) is literally zero, or close to that.

And whether you like it or not, there are infinite instances in this universe with a 1 in infinity probability. When taken together, they can’t really be a co-incidence, right? Of course, I am right.

Examples:
Life on earth, or life anywhere in the universe
Big bang actually happening
Existence coming into being
Atoms being the way they are
Human bodies evolving the way they do
Perfection and details everywhere and in everything.

All this defies the principles of Probability unless a supreme being is in power.


3. Parallel Universes Theory

If there exist infinite universes with infinite alternate realities with probability 1, then infinite of them have God too and hence he does exist since God > Universe.


4. Mathematical Proof

Let 1 represent Presence of God.
So 1 = Presence.
Let 0 represent Absence of God.
So 0 = Absence.

0+1 = Absence + Presence = Presence of God = 1
Alternately, 0+1 = 1 = Presence of God

0-1 = Absence – Presence = Presence of a Devil = Presence of a neutral Devil = Presence of a neutral force = Presence of God = -1
Since, because God is not positive and hence Devil is not negative, and both are neutral.

0 = 1 + (-1) = Presence + Presence = Presence = 1
So 0 = Presence = 1
0 = 0 + 0 = 1+(-1)+1+(-1)+…=God omnipresent represented by 0
Also, God = Omnipresent by definition anyway
Hence 0 = Absence of God doesn’t exist and both 0 and 1 represent presence.


NOTE
I am not talking about characteristics of God here. Just a supreme power required to create everything else.

Novelty Communication – A Small Mobile Phone Business Worth its Salt


Novelty Communication – A Small Mobile Phone Business Worth its Salt

I was introduced to Raman (owner) of Novelty Communication (and by the way it is Novelty Communication – NOT Novelty Communications) through my friend Ajit who is Raman’s first cousin. And thank God that Ajit did me this favor.



Novelty Communication is a small mobile phone business based in Chittaranjan Park (not in Kalkaji) run by Raman and his father along with a few employees. I have done business worth over a lac with Novelty Communications over the last few months of being introduced to them and given them referrals worth over half a lac (or perhaps more) as well. And I do admit that are not THE CHEAPEST in the market, but they are definitely reasonably priced.

I purchase all my mobile phones and tablets from Novelty Communication despite the above fact because of their customer service. Raman is a gem to deal with. Although short tempered at times, but very good at heart. I won’t lie to you. No, my last 1-2 experiences have had some hiccups, but Novelty Communication (based in Chittranjan Park, contact Raman) goes out of its way to make sure that I am finally satisfied.
This is one reason I prefer them over Flipkart or Infibeam because of their small business model which focuses on customer satisfaction above everything else. Although sometimes there are troubles, I am sure stories with any other big store would often be far worse to hear. In comparison, this honest business owner sticks to him word and does not deter in providing a refund if it does not involve losses for him.

Novelty Communication’s owners are honest, trust worthy, friendly and awesome to deal with. Novelty’s business model is based on personalized customer service and that is the only reason they are still in business. Yes, at times there can be problems. But by and large they try to help you out and do whatever they can to please every customer, and that price you pay becomes worth it due to this.

At Novelty Communication Chittranjan Park they basically deal in mobiles (and accessories) and tablets, both brand new and second hand, buying and selling both. And this is the best part. I can sell old stuff to them within minutes for a decent (not fantastic, but not too bad either) price. And their free home delivery within a matter of an hour or two beats any online website and shreds it to pieces. Am I not right? Of course I am, Novelty Communication :)
I am impressed with Raman at Novelty Communication. Although he runs a small business with a niche clientele, he is honest and sincere and tries hard to please the customer. Of course, he is not perfect but then none of us are.

I wish Novelty Communication every success in their business and hope Raman goes far in his dream of making it big in the mobile phone industry, at least as far as it is possible now :) Novelty Communication is worth recommending to a friend and if you agree with me, then do contact him for your mobile phone needs, you can give him my reference (Aakshey Talwar).

CONTACT DETAILS
+(91)-(11)-41603848 +(91)-9811039212 , 9818455333K-1/38, C R Park, Delhi - 110019

Bottomline: I recommend my friends to buy from Novelty Communication!
