My Love

My affair with her began a few years ago

The first time I came to Delhi in 2000

I had heard so much about her through word of mouth

But I have never met her before

And then a friend introduced me to her

The first time I met her, I was shy and hesitant

Then gradually I fell for her charms and her beauty

She is so knowledeable and always willing to share her knowledge with me

She tells me about almost everything that I want to know

She sings for me and cracks jokes when I am upset

I never feel bored or lonely when I am with her

Now I am completely enamoured by her

And I am head over heels in love with her

Rarely a day would pass by that I am not near her

And she has become part and parcel of my life

Her name is ........THE INTERNET!!!

Indian search engine launched

India’s first local Internet search engine, http://www.guruji.com/ was launched yesterday, 12th October 2006 in Bangalore.

Guruji.com is the first crawler based search engine for India and India related content. Two young entrepreneurs, Anurag Dod and Gaurav Mishra, ex-IIT Delhi alumni with significant Internet and search experience have started guruji.com, after Sequoia Capital India provided seed funding to the venture.

Anurag Dod, co-founder and CEO, guruji.com said, "guruji.com is the result of the feeling that there is a need for an Indian search engine which can help our people and people who visit our country find what they are looking for. The search is more specific here. What sets us apart is our focus on the Indian market and the Indian consumer. We have worked very hard to build the best local search product in the market."

Gaurav Mishra, co-founder and coo, guruji.com explains, "90% of Internet search queries are local in nature, and guruji.com will deliver better search results than anyother search engine in these instances. For example, if a user types a search "Pizzain Koramangala, Bangalore " or "Chinese restaurant Juhu, Mumbai" the user will beable to see local business listings as well as articles, reviews, blogs, or any other web references."

Guruji currently has the data for the following cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Indore, Noida, Mysore, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Vadodara.
