Kahan Kahan se chale aate hai….

Its amazing .. how a search engine like Google provides directions to millions who would otherwise ruin their time scampering around... all over the internet!! But , many a times it also takes u places where u least intended to go ...

Over the last month or two.. I've been noticing a sudden surge in the number of users visitin my blog (like around 600 each month is high for me .. I'm not google/yahoo to expect more :D).. and its always interesting to know how they landed here... and even more interesting to imagine what they were actually looking for!!

Here is an analysis of the most recent search strings that led to a first/second page hit in Google to one of my posts ...to quite a few (un)fortunate guys around the world!! and my thoughts about what they might have been looking for...

capital-calling restaurant (from London) - Should be a hungry tourist looking for a list of restaurants in London thru a travel guide in London called "capital calling"

wild west 1800 / wild west 1800 united states / life in the 1800's old west / dogs in wild west 1800s (from different parts of US) - history student trying to answer his assignment :D .... dogs in wild west .. is definitely the funniest one!!

name of assorted flowers west (from Singapore) - a singapore based gardener curious to find some funky names to improve his business !!

honing photography skills (from Stockholm) - Poor amateur chap .. no photography tips here!!

lonely kids in america (from CA) - Am sure its some poor immigrant parent worried abt his kids

how camouflage help u (from Romania) - some teenager... trying to know what camouflage is... notice the "u" .. as though he is sending an sms or chatting with Google god!

adige bhatta (from New Jersey) - definitely a karnataka lady (desi in NJ) .. bored of cooking for her hubby ... has gone to the extent of checking out the second page in Google to hire one!

The only relevant one...

travertine terraces (from Texas) - probably .. just the right place .. to see some nice pictures of yellowstone. Its unlikely the guy was checking out anything else..
