Google search for SaddeGeet

Last night; I implemented ‘Google Search’ on SaddeGeet. It was pretty easy to do. All I had to do was chose a few options and put a few lines of javascript on the page. The only trouble I had was that I had to widen the default layout of the site to accommodate the search results. I had a width set of 750px; so I just moved it up to 800px. Should be fine for anyone other than someone using a 15inch monitor I guess. Anyways; check it out and let me know what you think

SaddeGeet effect

What is the ‘SaddeGeet effect’?? Well; that is the reason that I have not been updating my blog. I have been spending most of my free time managing SaddeGeet.com. SaddeGeet is a punjabi word that means ‘Our Songs’. I started the site about 3 months ago; and it has been pretty popular. I am getting about 1000 visitors a day and so far the reaction has been amazing. The site has done very very well in the past 3 months; way beyond my wildest imaginations. I am glad that I was able to share my love of Punjabi Music with others.

Go to SaddeGeet

I will still try to update this blog a few times a week.

Soni Pabla died today

I just got the news that popular punjabi singer Soni Pabla died today. He apparently died of a heart attack while he was performing at a concert in Canada. He was only 27 years old. How can you have a heart attack at 27 years of age?? First we lost Kulwinder Dhillon; and now Soni Pabla. This is a great loss to the Punjabi music scene. My thoughts and prayers are with his family tonight..

I was reading this week’s punjabi newspaper and this was the summary of the article that was posted.

He was performing at a concert in Toronto. He sang 4 songs and went backstage since he was not feeling well. He was given water by his friends and while talking to them, he just collapsed. His friends tried to revive him but he passed away even before the ambulance got to the scene.
He was the only brother of 4 sisters. He migrated with his mom to Canda about 12 years ago. He worked at a factory when he was younger, and he even worked for some time as a truck driver. At first he was just intersted in writing songs, but then later turned to singing. He recently married in December 2005; and his wife had just come to Canda 2 months ago. Soni was planning on going to India this week and he had already booked his ticket. His new album was already finished before he died.

What a great voice!

Google Video vs YouTube - which one is better

I was trying to figure out what video service is the best? What would make someone go with YouTube vs Google video? To me, the biggest factor in using a site to upload my videos would have to be which one offers better quality. I was told by many people that Google Video offers far better quality than YouTube. I uploaded a video on Google Video and YouTube. Lets see if you can tell which quality is better.. to me there is a slight edge to Google Video. Another benefit is that Google Video seems to start up sooner than YouTube. What do you think?
