  • Google feels so clumsy

    We all use Google invariably for different purposes and almost every day.

    Google’s SEARCH ENGINE is such that when I search something while working on my laptop, I click on the 10th page of search results to really begin sorting out and making sense of the results. That’s the state right now.

    Google has a space for small businesses. But it is so bad! So bad! Weird way of updating and posting. So clumsily executed.

  • Website is actually a communication factory

    I have a shop on Shopify (link at the end of this post).

    I often say that software is a machine.

    When I look at my Shopify website and the kind of feedback I receive from patrons, visitors and users of this website, I am tempted to add some apps to this website in the hope that users have a better experience and I can market my products and website in better ways.

    Website is a container for Shopify store which is a software which is a machine.

    Apps are also software which are machines.

    This gathering of machines makes it a factory. A communication factory.

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

    There must be a place in some world where you can be a teenager for the longest time. That’s where I would live. With my friends.

    Messages creates Matches.

    Messages that do not create Matches ought to generate Curiosity at the least.

    Neither Match nor Curiosity, that would be criminal.

    What was your favorite subject in school?

    It wasn’t called a subject.

    I liked talking, playing, showing off, watching her face and getting good scores.

  • What is celebration?

    Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

    Say it is called National Fiction Reading Day. Will you read all day and meet friends to celebrate all that you read during the day?

    That prompts me to ask, what is ‘celebration’? Reading all day? Or the partying following and connected to the fact that you read all day?

    “What an architectural pile!”

    That is a great compliment. Especially directed at some person, a great great compliment.

  • It’s a database?

    What are your favorite websites?

    I can’t reveal it just like that. But Amazon is one since it allows me to look at plenty of book titles of all sorts.

    Mind you Amazon isn’t the first in the list.

    In fact, the first in the list isn’t even a website strictly (though there is a website to talk of), if I were to judge it based on how I use it.

    If you could be made to interact with or query a database directly, and the amazing results show on your screen without a URL, the database becomes your favorite site, or website.

    Dynamic Architecture

    Stationary Architecture

    Perfect Decision

    Decisions are not abstractions. They are space-occupying things. Territorial.

  • Rana Sanga and My Bot

    What historical event fascinates you the most?

    ‘the most’ in the above question ruins the question but helps me answer with something anyway.

    All of history, all the events, down to the smallest ones, if sufficient details are available or accessible, offer plenty to be fascinated with. How much time do we have to go through them in sufficient details, go through our lives in sufficient details and survive all the same?

    Rana Sanga’s personal physical condition, his arsenal, and his battles to defend and expand Mewar… A few years back, when I recounted all of that on a leisurely trip to Kumbhalgarh, I found myself in an unshakeable thrall!

    Meanwhile, the historical event in my context is my exchange with a bot which throws fascinating titles of books at me to wonder and explore. Mind you, the event isn’t over. And there are plenty of titles that the bot hides from me, waiting for me initiate another query…

  • Build a brand? Build?

    Is that the word? Think about it.

    “Build”

    Look at the meaning of ‘brand’, look at the meaning of ‘build’.

    For a long time, I’ve had doubts about this expression and similar other expressions which include ‘brand’.

    Folks say, the name of my brand is…

    ‘Brand’ if understood in the sense of its the original meanings, whether as a verb or a noun, doesn’t make any sense in such expressions as ‘build a brand’.

    Actually, ‘brand’ feels like an abstraction. An abstract name given to the phenomenon of making one remember your name at the moment of truth.

  • On choosing software

    Software must be chosen, like you choose your motorcycle.

    But they do not make it like that, I say.

    How much would you pay to go to the moon?

    Considering the risk, the ones, who plan to make me go to the moon, must pay me a very handsome amount.

    I love moon without being there.

  • Typology

    Typology.

    There are types of typology. But I am fascinated by just the sound and the simple spelling of the word Typology, and all that I may be able explore through books carrying Typology in their titles.
