Google Chrome – First look

I have downloaded  Google chrome today. I am impressed in the first glance. Though it will take some more time to understand how will the brower perform. BUt few features which make it stands out are ;

a) Neat and clean look : A new browsing experience and the window seems to gain that extra screen space. The tabs and search bar are intelligently integrated in the browser. Every pixel is optimally utilized.  

b) One stop shop : Search , Address bar, suggestive search all integrated in one box. Google makes me LAZZZZY

c) Most visited site : Hmmm… nice tool. I would not say amazing but useful (advertisers will love google for this) 

d) Browsing history : Smart way to display  history along with time of visit.

More to come ….

A Year That Was…

These line are generally written on the turn of the year. You might think that I am possibily two months late. But I am talking about completeing a year with Makaan.com

Now when I look back at this amazing year it gives me a feeling which can’t be expressed in words. But whats so amazing about this year and this job. There has been complete transormation from the kind of work I’ve done in the past. I have lived my dream of creating an online business.

On the day of joining makaan team strength was three including Aditya (Business Head) and (Chetna). Now we have grown over 125 as a team. Aditya has shown immence confidence in me and handed me  an additional responsibily of Managing the software team along with my Product Management responsibility. 

And we have done our best to proove him right by delivering a best in the category product within the short span. We have worked for 10-12 hours in a day for 4 months in a strech. We launched the site on August 15, 2007, Independence day of India in less than 6 Months of my joining.

And I must say that I have got an amazing team to support Saleem, Deb, Veeru , Amit , Sandy and Nikhil.

Monday Blues

Good Morning Monday. Hmmm.. You are here again to pull me out of my cozy quilt. Since the day I am introduced to you I wished you missed your date with new week. But you come week after week without fail. Wonder why don’t you go on sick leave or take a casual leave.

 

But then on second thought, If you don’t come the life would not move.  There will be no office and no work. There will be no motivation to work and even no excitement to look forward to the weekend. What is the fun of weekend without Monday? Its you who make us live the weekend breaks to the fullest.

 

But I’ll still suggest you take a break once in a while.

Life in Google Age

The above image may look a bit funny or a bit too exaggerated but I believe that we live in Google Age. To me Google is synonym to Internet. Google as homepage tells me that I am connected to rest of the world and my system is breathing.  

It’s the nerve cell of information for millions like me. From finding a store next door to information on stars millions of light year away everything can be goggled.  I like to Google myself and would feel on top of the cyber world the day googling Amit Gupta will show me on top of Google search. To me that is the symbol of being arrived on Internet.

 

Can’t think of a life without Google. Happy Googling!!!

Hi from Amit Gupta !

Hi every one. I (Amit Gupta) have taken one more baby step on internet. Although, I ‘d created my identity on web quite sometime back but I realized that it can’t be updated often.

So, I thought that I’ll use a blog as it becomes easy for me to write down my thoughts about me , people around me and things around me. And whats a better day and time to start than 26 January. which reminds us of our country, our rights our duties and our constitution – think i am getting bit too serious! That’s the impact of the date.

Anyway to cut it short, this will be my space , my thoughts and all of you are welcome to share the thoughts of amit gupta.
