If haven’t already noticed my blog bookworm cafe has turned into a PR 4 blog, all thanks to the Google’s latest page rank update. Those of you who are not very familiar about PR, it is the Google way of grading different sites and very now and then all the websites have their pr updated. PR is said to matter a lot if you are trying to attain higher SERPS or aiming any particular Niche.
Now I have thought of making my blog much better as Google is giving it importance, firstly i asked for some help from my readers and many of them suggested that i switched to a personal domain. Switching over to own domain has a lot of advantages like having the database control and can be backed up when ever you want, hence making your blog crash proof. Premium features like POp3 and multiple user accounts are currently not supported by wordpress.com and hence having my blog being mapped to another domain would help me a lot and also further improve the experience of my beloved readers. Domain mapping is very easy to do and the only you are required to do is to get a domain registration with a proper hosting account, I have mine with bytehost.com. There service is cheap but highly reliable. Now if you think domain registration is another headache then you are wrong many sites now a days provide domain registration for less than $10 /year for all kind of domains like .com, .uk, .org, .edu,.net etc. Multiple year registration is also allowed, discounts on bulk purchase and coupons are also available for regular buyers. Payment are accepted by credit cards as well as Paypal.
I urge that all of you who are serious about their blog and love doing blogging should transfer their blog to personal domains as it has immense advantages and perks.

I always believed there were two kinds of people —one who praised and applauded a performance being staged only after they saw it. The other kind of people never praised or commented on a performance they did not see.
I believe it was a Tuesday. Our family and some other relatives had been planning the whole day long on places to visit that evening Calcutta(it is about the time when Kolkata was called Calcutta).
Many bright ideas (like the evening show of “Dil chatta Hai” or even going to the restaurant) had been already voted down.
Just when it started to seem that the whole plan of going out to enjoy ourselves was becoming a waste of time, my aunt popped up the question, “Why not go watch a play at Rabindra Sadan?”
Since there were more grown-ups in our group, (all obsessed about the different kinds of plays being staged, especially ones in Bengali), they readily agreed to the proposal.
Before long, everyone’s eyes were searching every nook and corner of The Statesman and other papers to get hold of a play that would commence from around 6:30 p.m. that day.
And within a span of about 30 minutes we were off to see a certain play. Though I went there with much enthusiasm, a little way through the performance and I was thoroughly bored.
So I thought the best thing to do was to take a little nap on my seat just so that I could stay awake the whole night with the elders in our house during their ‘adda’ session. My wretched luck! The person just beside me had already started snoring loudly and it was an impossible to sleep comfortably due to his loud nasal rumblings.
I had to cancel my schedule and began to watch the whole play with better attention.
Even after the play was over, that man slept on. With much effort I was able to wake him up so that he could make way for me to get up and walk out.
At last, he opened his eyes, stood up and spoke out, “Wasn’t the play fabulous? Wasn’t the acting simply great? I enjoyed it immensely!”
I did not want to believe it, but at the end had to admit the truth: I had met the third kind of people!

That bright and golden red autumn day was not the first time I had seen her there, and I knew it wouldn’t be the last. I knew that she wouldn’t stop coming until she herself was no longer in this world. Seeing her always struck a sad, poignant note within me. She was the beneficiary of a long, rich, full and exciting life in many of the towns people’s opinion, but watching her there, at the cemetery, so many times, I had to wonder if they really knew what her life had been like. She had come alone since she was able to drive herself then. When she climbed out of the car and started down the walk, she was dressed in an elegant black dress that was folded to her slender figure as if it were a part of her body instead of an apparel to cover it. She had worn a wide brimmed hat with a veil covering her face and her neatly coiffure hair. But as she drew closer to the first of the graves, she raised the veil so I could see her face. i finally had the courage to ask her what she was doing in such a dead town of half a million of population?. She replied with a poise of an lady that her father was the owner many malls which are mainly serve and sell electronic goods all the western coast of America. I co-assist him in his work recently we have launched a online shopping site of our brand so that our brand can compete with the others in e-business too.
I thought she must be very eager to tell the whole story about this project and I guess this must be her first job, I myself had the joy of telling my story to the whole world when I sold my first Teak wood logs two years back. She went on “Most of the buyer will look for the lowest price that can we get from any store. We spent a lot of time to look for the goods and compare and contrast the price with other stores. This way Online stores are of great help as stores any where in the world can be compared and evaluated within a matter of few clicks. When come to the compare and contrast the price often the least priced stores wins the deals” That is what we are doing now with our online store. What is called I asked, ” savebuckets.co.uk” she said “It shall house all major brands like Asda, Compaq, hp, PC World and vaio under one roof”. The new mall which we are opening shall actually serve more as an store house of goods for this online store as the economic standards of the town is not good enough to afford such items. What items ? I almost barged into her, items like It includes clothing, laptops , playstation , slr cameras, bluetooth devices, micro wave appliances and many more.
I am here to promote the store and get the wide bushes covering the area to be cleared. The bushes were the sources of my income and were actually my sunflower fields through which i draw the oils and sell them in the market but it seems the rich have taken away all of it my land, the bliss of this small town and her too.what a heart break !!!
