Incredible India!
I have set up a Google news alert for India tourism and that is how I came across this article at a website called domain-b.com. It talks about the Ministry of Tourism plans to spend Rs 20 Crores on online advertising. So far so good.
The article on domain-b also talks about the Incredible India Website. I have always been curious to know what kind of traffic does Incredible India gets. Quoting from the article-
The ministry's Incredible India website, incredibleindia.org, has a daily average traffic of around 10 lakh visitors a day, with the ministry continuously innovating the tools on the site.
Have you ever tried searching for information on the Incredible India website? I have tried many times (I academically also try to write on tourism, hence this fascination with Incredible India) always using firefox. I almost always type Taj Mahal as my key words for search. And I do vaguely remember sometimes getting a result but most of the time the search function doesn't work. Below is the screen shot of the result I got this time if I press the arrow near the search key (enlarge the picture to see the exact error).

I get a different page if I just press 'enter' key (screen shot above) but that too gives no results. I mean we are software outsourcing hub to the world. Why can't we have a decent search engine on the Incredible India website that gets more than 10 lakh hits per day!

Indian Railways- Always Fascinating
I was taking a stroll nearby with Sesha this Sunday afternoon. I had the Nikon Coolpix in my pocket because I had seen some beautiful and colorful Dahlias outside a house (those flowers would find a place on the blog soon).

Mridula loves to trek and travel, in that order. She does not believe in comforts when she is traveling, so it means no luxury hotels or anything. The only thing she has splurged on is a Canon DSLR. She considers Ladakh magical and Prashar Lake just out of this world. She has traveled abroad a few times but always for work. And surprisingly academics still remains her vocation of choice, inspite of having to teach 18 year olds!
