(Vivek Kapoor)s on Google
Ever since I started this blog, I regularly ego surf in Google to see where my blog turns up. I even set myself a target to displace all web pages above mine, if you searched for my name :) But then, few people do actually search for my name, and the entire effort may be futile. Then again, they don't call it ego surfing without reason!Normally, a "Vivek Kapoor" search results in about 4 web pages above mine. Two of these are for a particular namesake working for Credit Suisse First Boston, one for vivekkapoor.com (hard to displace), and one for a particular "Brat" whose father works in the Army. Now, my Initial target was to displace this brat from the better rank, because he had no business taking my rank away from me! I've been trying for 2 months to displace the brat without luck. Today I decided to find out who exactly he was and why so many people were linking to his page (Assuming PageRank works).
To my surprise, it turned out to be a story, written by someone called Mr. Gokul Rajaram. I read through the story, and I was rather touched at the end of it. I decided to contact Mr. Rajaram for permission to post his story on my blog. Google lead me to his website, and he ironically happens to be the product manager for Google AdSense! The world often comes a full circle! I still haven't been able to contact him, so till then, you can read his story here.
I no longer have any intentions of displacing the fictional guy anymore. I'm going for the big fish now ;).
PS. The title of this post, and the repetitive use of "Vivek Kapoor" within the post ;) is a desperate attempt to go up the ranks!
