Googolopoly (Google+Monopoly) is a very creative monopoly board game inspired by Google.

Like the regular one, the objective of this game is to acquire companies over the internet using google shares. Instead of Hotels and homes you can hire developers or buy new servers for the acquired companies.

And the good thing about this game is “its available for free as a PDF format”. All you have to do is to grab the PDF file, print it, find people and start playing the game.

To download the game in its entirety (including instructions, google shares, googleplex pieces, and more), visit here: http://www.box.net/shared/dguu2bfy88

Rasagulla - Bengali Or Orissa Sweet August 27, 2007

Last week we had a very strange discussion: Rasagulla - Bengali Sweet or Orissa Sweet.

It all started like this…I was on a short tour to Calcutta and Orissa few months back. And I found more Rasagulla shops in Bhubaneshwar than Calcutta. Last week i started this discussion among my friends in office. And we did an research on that…and found from Wikipedia that it originated from Orissa.

Rasagolla originated in the state of Orissa, where it has been a traditional sweet dish for centuries…

The recipe for making rasagollas eventually found its way from Orissa to neighbouring West Bengal. This was during the Bengal renaissance when brahmin cooks from Orissa, especially from Puri, were routinely employed in richer Bengali households

But yet, I am not convinced yet. From the times, i started to taste this Rasagulla i have been told that its an Bengali sweet.

Now I leave it to my blog readers…

Any Oriya….or Bengali’s out there to claim the sweet as theirs ?

Got my new mac…its damn so good..however being an extensive windows user i could’nt get used to it yet.
When i was in the store, we bought two laptops: a mac and a fujitsu with Vista.
I am very much impressed how apple has packed my mac. Its so thin and very stylish.

Once in home, i tried to boot up my mac for the first time. The initial set up was like a breeze.
Even an one year old child can do the initial set up. Believe me…its SO EASY and SIMPLE…

After the initial set up…as apple says…it works completely out of the box. :)

Yahoo! Messenger for the Web lets you chat, download-free, on the Y! network right inside the web browser.

Years ago…Yahoo had web based messenger that was built on java..but then they removed the service…
Now its back again with more enhanced UI built on Adobe Systems Inc.’s Flash. But yet it does not provide advance feature such as webcam and file tranfers. Yet it has the cool features such as notifications, tabbed interface, save message history in yahoo server..etc..

Messenger for the Web is also compatible with Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Live Messenger.
