How to bypass the "subscription" services of Online Newspapers & Magazines

Usually many news articles are available just for subscriber alone. But then, in most cases you can get those articles if they are of high value.

How??

I assume, you have preview content of the article that you wish to read. Take a sentence out of that (keep this sentence in quotes) and search in blogsearch engines (for example, http://blogsearch.google.com/). Got it ??!!

(Note : This is a small piece of my book on Google Search (specific to Indian context). For more detailed explanation, on same topic or otherwise, you will have to wait for my book!)

Googling for someone : a routine activity in life??

Last year I wrote on life partner selection that depends on "googling". Here is an another article that employers google their prospects. Today when I am discussing with N. Nagaraj of Business Line, he mentioned that googling of a person whom you are going to meet is also a common. Now I want to have a more closer look.

Whom are you googling for:

1. for Celebrities
2. When new friend introduced (likely thro online)
3. person whom you are about to meet/talk
4. Employers for potential hires
5. Police searching for criminals
6. for old classmates/pals
7. Ego-surfing or Self-Googling
8. Matrimonial/dating Search
9. for professionals (like architects, doctors, etc)

But then you must be careful, if not, you may get mistaken with the same/similar names. In this large world, there may be many people with same names/nicknames who confuse while you are researching.

Where to look for?
websites, blogs, comments in blogs, comments in web-news, comments in websites, guest-books, orkut or Myspace or ryze type of communities, blogeverywhere comments etc

Are there clues to search?
Ofcourse there are .. but then, you need to wait for my book.

Watch telugu/hindi/tamil movies online or even download them!

These days I came across innumerous links to downloading Telugu/Tamil/Hindi movies websites. Basically they are mentioned in certain blog-sites pointing to heavy-storage websites where the files are being uploaded. I could get almost every movie released (2006) in Telugu/Hindi/Tamil. I could get even some of the alltime-classics. Most of them can be downloaded (size could be anywhere between 150MB-300MB) and few of them could be watched online. Considering the penetration of broadband, I dont think this is a problem.

How to get?
Search for movie titles in http://blogsearch.google.com/ or http://video.qooqle.jp/ or http://video.google.com/. While searching for titles, be careful about spelling. For example, pyar could be written as pyaar and kiya can be written kiyaa. So while searching for titles, also try all possible combinations like pyaar kiya, pyar kiyaa, pyaar kiyaa, pyar kiya.

If number of results are very high, then use quotes as in "pyar kiya". You may also use (download OR watch OR part) along with the title to cut down the results (however this logic holds now but cannot be guaranteed forever because spammers may use these words so that their sites get visited if they come across this blog).

Being away from my native for 11 years, I wanted to watch few recent good movies in Telugu such as Arya (I strongly recommend it even for non-natives), Anand, Show etc. You would love to see the largest collection of links to Telugu movies (currently there are about 250 movies).

My views on industry: After watching few movies of telugu and tamil, I could clearly understand that nowadays some good movies are coming-up in telugu (at the same time tamil movies are becoming worse like of telugu movies in 1996-2003).

Indian Media is crazy!

When I was looking into news after quite a long time .. there was very very crazy news by "great Indian media" that one Uttar Pradesh XI student (Saurabh) topped NASA exam "International Scientist Discovery" which was taken by 200,000 students world over.

As soon as I see this news I wanted to confirm such news. So how??

in google : "International Scientist Discovery"
why?? to know such exam exists at all. Then I found many many results covering above news appeared. I wanted to exclude above news (but wanted only about such test). So

"International Scientist Discovery" -india -indian -saurabh

Then, as expected no result. So it is clear that this news is fraud. Only one minute to check this news. But for media, even now they are still crazy and I see many many new NEWS still spreading out.

I hope GOD save indian media.

Things to take while leaving for foreign country

I wanted to search for a webpage which gives me info what things an indian need to take when he leaves for a foreign country. I gave following keywords to reach to a good site.

pickle masala admission shirts pants

why?? pickle is the best way to avoid cooking. Masala is used for cooking. Admission: problem comes only for newly admitted students. Shirts and pants are must while leaving. Cool .. right??!!

Security Link

I tried to search for a security related govt body link (other than given in http://www.isical.ac.in/~malapati_r/indcrypt/govt.html) whihc few months back I came accross. But I could not get any link as I dont remember the name of the organization. I have seen in NAS. I searched for

site:www.fas.org raw

.. which gave directly indian RAW. From which I went to the index of india and found it (National Technical Facilities Organisation).

I have come back after a long time to this great site. Hopingly I will continue forever.

I have to update my crypto links (http://www.isical.ac.in/~malapati_r/crypt.html).
I never updated Malapati's Cryptopath (http://www.isical.ac.in/~malapati_r/cryptopath.html) after its creation. (although I claimed that that file regularly updated). I dont know when I will look at (edit).

In between I have seen a wonderful site on Japan VISA details. In google to get this site: I used : "what is a visa" site:jp

Twofish algorithm is implemented by B.Schenier. He kept in his site. My friend was searching for it "Twofish block cipher" .. but could not locate the program. Then I searched for Twofish. It came as first result. It is due the reason that program of twofish is very very popular .. should have been linked many sites. So it may have good rank.
