Just Waiting for the Climax


With all the comedy of errors and the house of horrors on the field, India has huffed and puffed to square the series at 3-3. Whatever you think about the Indian team, love them or hate them, you just cannot ignore them, and you cannot deny the fact that they have been great entertainers in this series – Tendulkar; Ganguly; Yuvraj Singh with the bat, Zaheer Khan; Piyush Chawla; Ramesh Powar with their bowling guiles, Dravid with his entertaining post-match speeches, and of course the fielding(mis).

However, I am sure the Indian viewers would rather prefer Team India as dull winners rather than entertaining winners. We all wish they win matches more convincingly, when they are in a commanding position, without making the Indian viewers requiring pacemakers. We would prefer India snatching victory from the jaws of defeat rather than the other way around.

Personally I am a very content man, no matter the outcome of the last match. They have worked hard and fought hard after being 1-3 down, with a much-improved fielding performance in the 6th one-dayer.

The Legends

Though their running between the wickets has been nothing to write home about, Sachin and Sourav have given their team 3 gems in 3 century partnerships paving the way for 3 Indian victories. This, however, leads to a concern. Can India put up a good score if this legendary opening pair with 20 century partnerships fails? I would love to see Robin Uthappa come in one down if this pair fails, as he must have gained confidence from his match winning innings from the 6th match.

Death bowling (6th one-dayer)

It certainly was a nightmarish bowling performance by the Indian bowlers in the last 20 overs, where they gave away 183 runs in the last 20 overs. Admitted, debutant Luke Wright and Owais Shah played great knocks, but it is criminal to give so many runs in the end overs. At the most, England should have been restricted to 275 or maybe even less. Ajith Agarkar has become too much of a liability for the Indian team with his once-in-a-blue-moon good performances. He should be given the tag of the all-rounder who can neither bowl, bat or field - the same tag, which was rather unfairly given to Ravi Shastri late in his career. RP Singh who is a much better death bowler should be recalled for the last match.

Hopefully a humdinger of a last match beckons at the Lord’s, 2mmorrow and may (for sure) the better team wins. Lets try Njoying the real cricket show rather than just Indian Cricket show. What do U say...???

You Can't cheat me (Google) know...!!!

Still thinking to cheat AdSense? Stop that. It will never bring you anywhere. You might pull it off with smaller ads network, but definitely not with Google. Here are some detection methods they might use. At the very least, they have the resources to do so.

IP Address:
If the AdSense click is originated from the same IP Address as the one used for accessing your AdSense account, your account is flagged.

Cookies:
Most home users do not use static IP Address for Internet connection. In most cases just disconnect and reconnect will give you a new IP Address. But don’t forget, Google has set cookies on your computer.

Other Google Services:
Thinking that you are safe just because you do not access your AdSense account? Think again. This time, consider these: GMail, Google Earth, Google Calendar, Google Search, Google Toolbar, Google Talk, Google Sitemap, Google Desktop, Blogger, and so on, and so on. With the wide range of services they provide, Google can trace the originator of most (or probably almost all) clicks.

Click Pattern 1:
Oh, why this computer / IP address / person is so trigger-click-happy on this particular website but never click on the ads on other sites?

Click Pattern 2:
And why is it that people accessing these sites direct (type-in URL or from bookmark) tend to be very active ad-clickers compared with those referred from search engine or other sites?

Click Pattern 3:
And why the ad-clickers like to hit and run, compared with non ad-clickers that surf a few pages before leaving?

Click-Through-Rate (CTR):
Your CTR may range from 0.5% to 10%, but if it exceeds a certain point (probably around 10%), you are flagged.

Geo-Location:
Used Urchin (Google Analytics) before? Then you should know that Google can trace traffics origin down to the small town. Different IP doesn’t mean much. Unless your site is really targeted to one small geo-point, a high number of clicks from nearby location will get you banned quickly.

Hardware address?:
MAC address of the LAN card, modem, and router works almost like a fingerprint. I’m not sure if Google can track this, but probably they do. They have rocket scientist, remember?

Advertisers conversion rate:
Ad click is one thing. But does it bring value to the advertisers? If none of the clicks on your site translate to conversion to the advertiser, you are in trouble. First the Smart-Pricing hits, then your AdSense account disabled.

Search Engine Ranking:
Your website is not indexed on any search engine, not linked by any prominent website, but get consistently high traffic? That sounds like something is in play. Regardless of whether it is an adware-embedded software, spam, trojan clickbot, or intentionally installed click-exchange network, it doesn’t sound right.

Webpage design:
How about the “click here” or “support us”? Google has the best search engine in the world. Is it really that hard to find those words?

Combo:
Each of these detection methods might seem rather weak. But combine them together, and not many click-fraud can pass-through these filters. Even the smartest clickbot will have a hard time.

In short, it is almost impossible to cheat AdSense in the long term. Instead of spending time, money, and effort trying to outsmart Google, try these tips to improve your AdSense earning.

Disclaimer : I’m not working for Google nor in anyway know anyone inside Google. Google might or might not use these methods to detect click-fraud. I’d believe that they have much better detection mechanism.

Why only Hyderabad? Why not Chennai?

Why only Hyderabad? Why not Chennai?

Hmm... Immediately after blasts, I called up many of my friends & relatives who are staying in Hyderabad, to find out safety of people whom I care & whom I know. Next immediate day, all preaches are just about the blasts, how it has happened, what else better would be done to avoid the culprits doing such things, etc etc. Immediately a sudden question came up from my friend "Why only Hyderabad? Why not Chennai?” Yes I know that this question will come up in the minds of Andhra buddies who are staying relentlessly in Chennai just for the job purpose, as I got... As I got this question immediately after the blast I have the answer too, after a stint research. I will say it just in few points... go on...

What’s required to propagate the Terrorism?

These sorts of unethical activists cannot & will not proceed unless & until they have a local support.

They target for the people

1. Who well know Urdu or Arab or at least Hindi

2. Who are with non-educational background

3. Who are from the less limelight enthroned community

4. Who are economically in crisis & crouched over the time.

5. Who are enmities of the current society because different incidents in their life

6. Who believe greatly in Jihad, Quran & Allah (If he is a Muslim)

If they wish to select anyone for an operation, his background checking process would be more crucial & not unlike what the software companies do. They undertake people for different position based on one’s qualification. Earlier only Muslim community people with antagonism were into such unethical acts of terrorism, but now situation changed. People who feel to earn easy money & who are with the first 5 qualifications were also involved.

Favors of HYDERABAD

As per the terrorists requisition, there are many people in Hyderabad (in-fact in Telangana region) who are well versed with Urdu because of Nizam ruling. At the time of Nizam’s they had government rule that the public means of communication is in Urdu & the major medium of languages in the educational institutions are Urdu (even Osmania University), Arab & Hindi. This led the foundation for the Terrorists with easy communication with their likewise people. There are many people who had their enthralling life in ancient times of Nizam, but now struggling for their daily food after the Independence. They were with antagonism on this society, on this society of freedom, on this freedom society of India. Naturally there are so many people from non-educated & unexplored communities in Hyd & Telangana regions. This led them huge availability of manpower resources. After all it’s not a big deal to elect the people with the 6th quality from the group of people with all the first 5 qualities, especially in Hyderabad. More over from the recent studies it is revealed that there are many people who were joining hands with such unethical organizations, with the first 4 or 5 qualities alone.

Overall the above said conditions has led the Hyderabad into the hands of Terrorism organizations & the easy ness of propagation caused Hyderabad to be the center for the ISI activists over the last decades.

Barriers of CHENNAI

I know that the clever people (Andhra buddies in Chennai) will immediately grasp the barriers of Chennai, after listening to favors of Hyderabad. But let me explain it to the whole world. It’s very very simple. Most of the listed qualities required by the people who wish to join the terrorist organizations, are not at all available with Chennai people (COOL..!!!). First & most disgusting fact for those organizations is the communication problem. Nobody in Chennai (I can say it as 0.001%) knows any of these (Urdu, Arab & Hindi) languages. If u still question about the 0.001%, then I have to say that there will not be anyone with those 2-6 qualities in that 0.001%. Muslims all over the world wonder, if they got to know that Tamil Muslims didn’t know any of the Muslim languages. This condition is protecting the Chennai being into International Terrorism activities since many decades. But still Chennai too has involved in Terrorist Organization with grace presence of LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). Here one very interesting thing is that “Tamilians loves their language so much that, they will not allow other language operated terrorists to attack them; instead they create their own Tamil terrorist organization.”

What the hell is happening in HYDERABAD...???

*** My deep condolence to the people who lost their brightful life because of unethical acts of ghosted mankind.***

Where We R ? The Land of Terrorism...???

Until last year, its been many years since Hyderabad is survived from ISI agents, National terrorism activities (What is usually called as Naxalism by the Government) & International Terrorists. Early from my childhood days, Hyderabad was said to be the top most preferred city for ISI & Terrorist activities (Yes absolutely it is... & one more fact is that Inter-Services Intelligence(ISI) is said to be the official sponsor of Terrorism in INDIA with the aid from International Terrorism Organizations). But still we had less impact of it over the last decade, may be because of lack of facilities for them & Hyper active Intelligence bureau of INDIA.


But what is happening now...??? Technology grooved up, Terror activities have been engraved up & at the same time Intelligence Reports are neglected. If a Chief Minister receives a report from Intelligence about the possible terror acts, in the state then he was more concerned about his security & thus increases his security men to 338 spending an amount of 3.65 Crores every year. Is this is for one is elected to serve people ? Is this is so called Democratic country ? Is this ruling party is so called People's Party ?

In the entire nation, Mumbai & Hyderabad were the most suffered cities because of Terrorism activities. Mumbai is basically heavily crowded city in the nation leaving the public servants (surely not the politicians, but the Indian Civil Servants) no other go. But still the Police of Mumbai are great to serve the people at all times. But whats happening in Hyderabad ? we had a Masjid blasts on a friday at heart of Hyderabad. anyone expected this ? we or not but the Intelligence possible attacks to the State government security attacks which resulted to be of no use which led huge attacks there. After that, Intelligence reported about a group of terrorists who were sneaked into the city. This time the report directly addressed to the Public & thus Chief Minister. So what they did ? Suddenly passed a G.O to increase the security of C.M. This is what the report is used for & this is what the Intelligence is working for. But with god's grace we had ended up with no pains on Independence Day because of self acts of Police Department under no pressure. But after that, there is no significant importance to the safety of society as government set them to attack on poor, who are struggling for houses & lands & also more concentrating on Nuclear deal, saying it as Nations Pride. What would be the "Nations pride" without security for people in their own country ? What would be the "Nations pride" without people in the country ? Yes, it would be the Pride for the politicians being the ruling party & it would be the pride for them to rule the nation another 5 years. They no need the people who will not vote or people who votes for opposition. They just need people who vote for them & their allies. Who care if you are not a RULING PARTY men......
