Today, I went for a job interview. It's a small company with a small office (well, beggars can't be choosers). Instead of interview they conducted a test which included aptitude, analytical, programming and English language questions.
One question from analytical section in particular troubled me, it was one of those arrange-things kinda question where with the help of given statements you arrange few things. I can't recall the question correctly as it was quite long one.
Apart from this question I had no problem with the test. I hope, I'll get a call for an interview soon.
This whole Test thing happened in the afternoon, later while returning it started raining. This arrival of rain-gods has turned the skin-burning weather into a pleasant one. The smell of earth puts me into best of my moods and this is what happened today.
Later in the evening, I watched cricket match between India and Bangladesh, and to my delight India won the game convincingly. The whole team did well, specially Yuvraj and Ojha.
A good day passed, and now I can go to bed with a smile on my face.
What else do I need to ask from life???

Bing is not so Bing
With its release and a lot of bucks to promote, Bing is making quite a news for a while. This is the first time in my entire life(actually 25 yrs.), Microsoft has come close to compete with Google.
Bing has several cool, nifty and useful features, especially that orange dot(which provides quick preview of the link). And I liked those background pictures too.
So today I started searching from Bing, it worked nicely for me and I was about to say good bye to Google. But suddenly something happened which bugged me.
Being a pervert myself, I usually look for adult content (OK, it is PORN). So I tried for few keywords like sex, fuck, porn etc. and Bing said "The search sex may return sexually explicit content. To get results, change your search terms.".
It was annoying and frustrating, I tried few more times whole day, but no success. Then later in the evening I tried for some other keywords like bomb, missile, poison etc. and they all generated results.
Microsoft with all this no-sexual-content-search trying to establish an image of "clean and socially responsible search engine" for Bing. This may fetch them few overly unsexual customers but will hurt them in long run.
How come you be socially responsible if your search engine gives result for a query like "How to make bombs", but no result for "How to have sex".
Microsoft; don't hate sex, it's good(actually great).
