If i look back and see my blog, There was not even a single update from the last 1 year. I can say i have been too busy…travelling…bla…bla…bla but the fact is like i have been doing more of reading than writing. Busy with the new roles, responsibilities…etc…etc.

Every new year I am saying this for the past 2 years. Will try to come back and do some blogging at least this Year.

- Second, it indexes documents only – pictures, music, videos, etc. are omitted.
