My friend’s friend recently started his own social networking site, careeb. He built that, single handedly, from scratch. I had few suggestions for him based on my experience with social networking sites-

1. What’s the aim of this SN (Social Networking site)? There is no dearth of SNs so if something which stands apart from the crowd has to be created. Facebook, was previously meant especially for .edu email holders, gave the visitors an unique platform to interact with like-minded people. An SN meant exclusively for a particular age group or gender group or ethical group or social group would be more successful than a generic one.

I have heard a lot about the Ramdaan in the areas in the vicinity of Jama Masjid in Delhi and I have finally decided to get a feel of it by visiting that place for the weekend. I hope when I return I have a photo story to tell. If you stay in Delhi and really want to see the devil behind Serendipity then you call 9878080992

I will be in Delhi on Friday and Saturday (may be even Sunday)
