Monex Review

Metal has always been very attractive to the human kind... the shine the luster, the use the attraction is very hard to ignore... and over the years we have moved on to be more specific about the metals that we like... Gold, Silver, and Platinum are the most sought after these days... with Gold being the conventional winner...

Starting from a time when gold and silver used to be purchased in the form of jewelery and was used more as an accessory, however these days, it has graduated from being just a piece of jewelery to an investment. One company that has been facilitating purchase of gold in America has been the Monex Deposit company. You can purchase either coins or ingots from the company and either arrange for a personal delivery, or a safe and convenience storage at an independent bank or repository. ngots are generally gold ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. For over 30 years now, Monex has been leading the gold and precious metal investments, and that too at very convenient market and competitive precious metal prices.

FLoWeR PoWeR...

Flowers have not really been my favorite subjects to click for some reason... however I do not miss out on opportunities to capture stills when I find them just right...

This is one of the flowers that I found waiting at the entrance of Panna Tiger Reserve on a recent trip to Khajuraho...

DeThRonEd

A Still from one of the Subways in South Extension, New Delhi... I did not notice that the was not this way till i saw the picture on the computer.... This is another experimental with Shutter Speed... and the digital camera I used to click this really helped... two shots and this one was better... the other one had some shake...

ConTiNoUs

Another Experimental still.. taken the same evening... had to be taken on a high ISO to get it like this... there is a lot of grain still... what are your best ways to take night shots when you do not have the luxury of a tripod?

bLuE CiGaR...

One of the first experimentals with the new Camera... I like the result... there is more to come and at the same time, i realised that there is sooooo much that i can do with this... this still was captured yesterday night around 0030 hrs and the blue light is the light of my computer LEDs.

(c) BeLiSi

The world is full of examples where someone strarted from being a nothing to something, thanks to the dedication, the passion to do something different, and the need to excel. All such people had a point to prove to themselves, and to the world.

Think of someone who started as a bartender who used to serve the "who is who" of the fasion industry in Palm Beach... and while he was struggling to feed his own family, he started investing whatever he could in collecting ties... Something that he picked up from emulating his high-end clientele...
This is how his idea gave birth to a company... this guy's name is Belisi and it was not long before everyone around him was looking upto him for inspiration... What started has aa hobby took turns and soon enough, what Belisi made started getting appreciation from his clients and the Belisi brand was now being used to enhance luxury wardrobes, and at the same time was making the world a better place.

And with every purchase someone made from the Belisi brand, he or she was making a contribution to fighing poverty, saving the environment, and funding medical research...

An apt example of giving it back to the world...

ZeMa...

I met her in McLeodganj. She is Zema which means happiness in some language... and the rest you can see for yourself...

I was in Mcleodganj, this May, and though it was a quick weekend trip, it was packed with a lot of things... a trek to Triund, local sight seeing, and a perfectly relaxed half a day at a JJI Cafe... it had all I could ask for on a trip...

GrAdUaTiOn TiMe...

Time for me to graduate from only posting pictures on this blog to write here as well...

I have recently bought a canon400D and I would like to actively start learning photography as well... What I want to do is, ensure that what I learn, I keep writing here too.. so that the people who are regular on this page can read about things that I am learning...

The site that stays dedicatedly for posting pictures is FLICKR...

Please click HERE to reach my flickr sets... I would really appreciate honest critical comments on the stills that I pick up from the otherwise moving life....

ImPrOvE LiNk PoPuLaRiTy...

Now that one has a website, and one starts posting things, uploading pictures, writing articles, reviewing movies, telling the world about his/her daily life... what next... when you have multiple instances of a similar thing happening, there is bound to be a rating system which helps one differentiate the importance of one page over the other... The best way to do have an edge over sites. blogs, pages, etc over others is to increase link popularity.

Googles sets standards in how important a webpage or website is by giving it a page rank... It runs a very complex algoritm, but more or less it works on two things...

1- How many pages with good page ranks link to you?
2- How high up on the search results are you?

Now thats not all i guess.. because the point number 2 is more or less related to one as well...

Some of the other key words that should help you understand the concept more are...
Search Enginer Optimisation
Page Rank
Latent Symantec Indexing etc...

so read on... keep learning...
