Happy Birthday Google – An Ode From Digpu

Google has definitely become the most loved platform. With Google, one can find any needle in any haystack, it has changed the virtual world completely. What is that one word that comes in the mind of billions of people when asked to search something, check the news, find a route and check any information – Google. Google has become a household name, a guide to everyone. It is an encyclopedia readily available on the smartphones or desktops. Google began as a research project in 1996 and since then there is no looking back. 21 years ago, two Stanford PhD students, Sergey Brin and Lawrence (Larry) Page, published a paper about launching a prototype of a “large-scale search engine.” Google indexes billions of web pages to allow users to search for the information they desire. Today, Google operates all over the world in over 100 languages, answering trillions of search queries each year.

Finally, Kashmir’s Leaders Put Kashmiris First

Image
In a rare occasion of a country’s destiny where the ruling party actually ‘fulfils a substantial and historic ambition’ from its pre-election manifesto, the current Government at the Centre almost changed the flavour of politics with the removal of Article 370. Hailed as an ‘unprecedented’ move by both who are for and against this historic decision, this revolutionary step will surely impact the future of Kashmir for as we long as live.    With some terming this move as ‘dictatorial barbarism’ and others terming it as ‘a progressive, democratic step,’ let’s look at the damage done over the past 70 years before taking any sides. While decisions of such a nature only show their results after a minimum of a decade, an analysis of previous decisions and leadership styles can at least offer us a perspective for the time being. With only two major ruling groups over the past 70 years, we’ve seen Kashmir dwindle, if not disappear. The Centre has bowed down to the Kashmiri rulers’ dem

Punjab’s IT Revolution Brought Closer To Reality By Global Entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal

While handing over a Leadership Award to Punjab-born global entrepreneur  Gurbaksh Chahal , little did US President  Donald Trump  know that his encouragement to Mr Chahal’s efforts towards Punjab emerging as a future Information Technology destination would be translated into reality with such passion and enthusiasm. While this projection was made almost a decade ago when  President Trump  was a premier business tycoon, he is certain to be pleasantly surprised when he learns of the progress made so far. Being an entrepreneur is almost in vogue these days, thanks to easy access to funding and the pace at which data-driven technologies are generating revenues. But, let’s rewind a little to a time when entrepreneurs still had to put up an enormous struggle to acquire funding or generate revenue through traditional means, let alone fight social norms in their own households, since the idea of becoming an entrepreneur (in other words – giving up on a secure job) was looked down up

The 4:30 am Start: The Routine, Diet, and Exercise.  As most people know, being a CEO is a tough job, especially when you're building a company from scratch. Business is the toughest sport you can play as an athlete. You need the endurance to deal with the highs and lows, the stamina to handle the rejection, and the courage to master the art of sacrifice. Discipline becomes your biggest strength and time your biggest enemy. Doing all this while maintaining your health becomes challenging. But, like anything in life, we can do it - we just have to put in the effort by showing up and increasing our tolerance for pain. Many have asked what my diet, routine, and workout regimen is like. So, here's what I do: Weight is irrelevant, BMR is everything Get your Body Fat % checked immediately. Weight as a number is irrelevant.
