Just reached Bucharest

Yes! Majak majak mein Bucharest pahunch gaye.
Who would've thought that I'll sometime visit this vague eastern european country which was in news last time for the execution of it's ruler. The first impression is a little funny. It is an EU nation but there are facets about it that remind u of India.
Haven't seen much now but from my window it looks like Mumbai with the only difference that it has some really magnificent building sprinkled among some run-down neighborhoods.
The travel was interesting too. From bangalore to frankfurt I had this french woman beside me. When we took our seats it seemed like a usual boring flight where I'll talk to my neigbors only when I need to go out. But as soon as the take-off began she this lady had become so jumpy like a cat on a hot tin roof. She almost grabbed my hand and asked if it is OK if she talked to me as she had a type of fear of flying. Her fear manifests dangerously only during take-offs! She said she had purchased a book about it and was explaining to me about it. Very interesting conversation!
I have got my camera here but haven't got my card reader..let's see how i upload photos while i am here.

Using Guugle for searching ebooks

Using Gugle for searching ebooks



Gugle has some fantastic potential for you to find whatever you are after on the internet.



To search for a book / program / file perhaps try the following.



Go to Gugle's search page and use the following criteria in the search dialog



intitle:index.of? file extension Name of item



e.g. intitle:index.of? chm syngress



This will hopefully give you a listing of all websites that google has cached that contain references to files in CHM format that are published by SYNGRESS.



---------------

I use in Gugle



+("index of") +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip|rar) +syngress



or



allinurl: +(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz) Syngress

Enjoy
