my great time at beach resorts

If you are fully stressed with your work then I would advise you to take rest for few days at some beautiful place. Oh yes, from the word "beautiful place" the only place that comes in mind is that Myrtle Beach Resort. I don't have words to express how a beautiful resort is it. This beautiful Myrtle Beach Resorts is basically located at the entrance to The Cherry Grove Pier.

If you visit this particular beach, then I assure you that this location is really different from others and its place for relaxation. From your balcony, you can simply see the view of sea beach and at the same time you will also get fresh and cool sea air. I had gone there with my brother’s kids and the children enjoyed more than us. We also got all kinds of facilities in the Myrtle Beach Accomodations with superb housekeeping facilities. At the end, I must tell you that I had a great time during spa treatment and I wish you will also enjoy the place.

RIP Michael Jackson still with us

It is hard to believe but it's a true fact that Michael Jackson has died at just the age of 50. Though, he is not anymore with us but still he will be remembered for his great work and performance. I believe that he was the most entertainer person in the world and no can ever take his place.

Michael Joseph Jackson was suffering a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his home & paramedics were unable to revive Michael Jackson. It is being said that when paramedics arrived Jackson pulse had stopped responding and after that they never got a pulse back.

MJ says bye bye

Varun Blog celebrating 1st birthday

Hi Friends,

Today is the 24th June, 2009. It was on this date in 2008 that I created an account with blogger.com and created my first ever public (I mentioned it public because earlier I had a personal blog) blog. Hope the title is still on your mind: "Varun Blog" - World is Here.



SEO & Traffic
My Varun blog was crawled by Google within few days after registering but the blog was Page Rank (PR) 0 for the first four months. One fine day my colleague Sankhadip informed me that my blog has got PR 4! I was really surprised and elated. Not only that, my Travel and Bollywood blog also became PR 2. Now, according to Google analytics, my blog (site) ranks in the top 1 lac sites in India and in the top 5 lac sites in the world. Hopefully by next year, the ranking will be much better! Generally, my blogs attract most visitors from India, USA and Philippines. As Varun Blog is based on US And Indian events, so it attracts more visitors during Indian festivals like the Independence Day, Republic Day, Pongal, Durga Puja, Diwali and in the US events like Christmas, Valentine's Day, New Year and many others.

My Entertainment TV

Generally, we people use to spend most of our time at home except those who are in defense. And at our home, there is one thing that helps us to pass our time. Guess who is that??? That is none other than our TV (Television). Isn't it right? Everyone loves watching TV but the choices of channels are different. If you ask me about my favorite channel then my answer is very clear. It's Sports Channel.

Earlier, I had not good quality channels but after taking new Direct TV connection from directtv.com then it really changed the whole thing at my sweet home and now our family members again start watching TV together after a long gap.. For last 2-3 weeks, I was looking for some good deal but I finally got everything at DirecTV Offers. The pictures and sound quality are really superb and high definition.

You know one more interesting thing, now whenever there is a soccer game then I call all my friends and invite at my home to watch the game together. This is really a fun.

My new Peugeot 308 car

Hi Friends, you would be happy to know that this year my business gave me 200% profit compared to last year. So, my family and I decided to buy a new car. We visited many car showrooms but we didn't like the one which we were looking for. In this hot and humid condition, we decided not to visit any other showroom and then decided to choose it through online site.

Luckily, I got a site where I have many options to choose my favorite one and some of those are Chevrolet, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ford, Jaguar, Renautt and many more. I decided to buy Peugeot 308 and then I contacted Peugeot Dealer to know more details about the Peugeot 308. The best thing is that you can also buy the used car at reasonable rate and the used car will look like a new one. My friend named Ian also planning to buy Peugeot 107. They gave me excellent service and everything really went very smoothly and efficiently. My parent believes that it is one of the most pleasurable experiences of her many visits to car showrooms. The site is very easy to use and I can search my vehicle or Vans with any of these options like Vehicle Brand Name, Vehicle Model No., price range (minimum to maximum). If you submit your postal code and email address there then you get the latest updates of your desired vehicle. The reason I trusted on the Perrys is because it has been running for more than 100 years. It was launched in 1908 and till now it is running with rapid growth. The reason for their success and reputation is that their Expert sales staff advises accurate and correct information at each dealership.

West Bengal Election News in 2009:
------------------------------------------
It was the historic result in West Bengal this year. In West Bengal, CPIM (Communist Paty of India) known as Left Parties are ruling for last 3 decades. But in this 15th General Election in India, thing have totally changed in West Bengal. Now more that half of the seats have been captures by TMC (Trinamool Congress) and Congress I.

Here are the seat numbers divided in West Bengal.

Alliances Results

TMC 19
Congress 6
CPIM 15
BJP 1
Others 1

In the last election of 2004, TMC Trinamool Congress had got oly 1 seat and that too is from TMC leader Mamata Banerjee in South Calcutta. But in this election they bounced back with a number even Mamata Banerjee had not expected this number. Now, TMC Leader Mamaata Banerjee is eye on the Chief Minister seat in the West Bengal and that election will be held in 2011. TMC has spread their legs in Kolkata, nearby suburbs, North 24 Paraganas, South Paraganas and from Hooghly district but yet they could win from the West side of the Bengal that is like Midnapur district.



Barrackpore 2009 Election Results
------------------------------------------
Barrackore Belt is my (Varun Gupta –vgvarunwins@gmail.com ) hometown so I was very much excited to know the result. Till my birth, I was also seeing the Left Parties and this is the first time I have seen other parties winning. Finally CPIM power has been ended here and it is done by Dinesh Trivedi with the help of Arjun Singh (Bhatapara-Kankinara leader), Dharampal Gupta (Kankinara Congress leader) and Devi Ghoshal. TMC candidate Mr. Dinesh Trivedi won by big margin of more that 55,000 votes. Yesterday, they came in a winning rally in Kankinara. The main reason for his winning is that his profile and background is very good compared to his opposition leader Tarit Baran Topdar who has many crime records. Tarit Baran Topdar hates and use slang words againST non bengali people who are from UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Orissa and muslim people. Dinesh Trivedi is an ex IPS officer, pilot and good friend of Rajiv Gandhi. He is also the member of Rajya Sabha. He is the most educated candidate of Trinamool Congress and the speaker of TMC party.

IPL 2009 news from South Africa

More than half of the Indian Premier League has been played and still it is not clear that which four team will enter in the semis of IPL 2009. All the matches are really exciting to watch. Two most costly palyers in the Indian Premier League 2009 Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Piterson (playing for Royal Bangalore Challenge RCB) has not played as per the expectation. In the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team is almost out of the tournament after six consecutive loses. The main problem with Kolkata Knight Rider is that they don't have good finisher. They need someone who can hold his breathe till the end of the game. It is reported in some of the Cricket Articles that Kolkata Knight Riders captain Mc Cullum (New Zealand wicket keeper) will resign as captain after the poor performance of Kolkata Knight Riders. England and West Indies players in the IPL 2009 are returning back to their country for playing for their country.

In the other Cricket News, Australia beaten Pakistan by 3-2 and won the series in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan won the first match of the series but they couldn't continue it for long. In the ICC Cricket Ranking, top three countries are South Africa, India and Australia in the 3rd position. Back to Indian Premiere League 2009, every team is putting their best effort to enter in the semis. I am also very excited about it who will win the IPL 2009 series and I am also playing online Fantasy Cricket. It's really a fun to play.
