Although it sounds interesting but I have this feeling that I shouldn’t even try thinking of getting involved in this challenge. No I don’t have anything against Google. I love Google. It’s just that the college authorities at my end will show an iota of cooperation. I am dead sure about that.
Ah! I really want that trip to a Google India office!!!!
