Just out of curiosity I tried searching “Rahul Bansal” but I failed to get any result pointing to me! This is quite expected as in 2001, I did not know much about computers and Internet. I got my first computer at the end of 2002 and it was 2006, when I created this blog and my first web presence. More about this is posted on about page.
It was nice searching back in time. I experienced true time-travel as it was entirely different world. Of course, I could not follow most of the result. Search results are served from wayback machines archives.
If you are a techie or student of computer science/engineering, you will also like this powerpoint presentation which describes Google’s System Architecture. I had case study of Google as part of my M.Tech. course. Unfortunately, I failed to find other presentations which have details about Pagerank algorithm and general working of Search engine. Anyway below is what I found, rest you can always Google! 😉
If you are a Google fan, I am sure you will enjoy it. Just out of curiosity, wanted to know if anyone here used Google Search back in 2001. 🙂

2001 was all Yahoo, I remember making my first email IDs in std 8th or 9th, which was probably 2000-2001, on each on Yahoo and Rediff :P, lost control of what IDs and pass were right now 😛 Probably deleted for inactivity 😀
All the Cyber Cafes, at that time had Yahoo as their Home pages that time, so probably no Google at that time 😉
New Theme is Amazingly simple yet, productive. I think this is nothing near to what you showed us as a possible similar theme., except for the colors 😛 Nice Theme, nevertheless 😀
@Gaurav –
Of course!
Rahul can never be wrong.. This theme is good.. But I think
‘the recent post’ column must be little bigger and not just the post tittle..
so finally u switched to the new theme 🙂
looks great !
really loved the tabbed interface on the homepage !
i think u must post about the theme switch and all the related helpful stuff so that we can be benefited from your experiences about the issues u faced while making a switch to the new theme…
this theme (look) is damn neat and looks sophisticated but i preferred older one…coz it was really wackhy
@Deepak – Its not about going wrong, its all about learning from experiences.
Nevertheless, Rahul made the new theme look like more of a magazine styled, which infact is a good measure for the new visitors to the blog, so as to let them know max on what they are looking for. Great Rahul 😀
@Gaurav
Well I never get chance to use Internet before Google was here! 🙁
w.r.t. Theme
Thanks Gaurav, Deepak, Pratik and Johnson. 🙂

Posted in detail about it , as suggested by Johnson.
