    Is shubh avsar pur, NG ko hamari hardik shubhkaamnayein. Tu Sada Suhaagan Rehna.

    Aaj pata chala ki NG ki kokh haribhari hai.

    Btw, NG agar maa hai, to unka baap kaun tha?

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAACHGAANA! Wow…I feel old. I’ve been with NG right from its inception, in its Google Group ‘Avatar’ (sorry, the JC film is very much in my system since I saw it!)

    And yes, NG has seen everything…its humble beginning in 2004, gradual growth in membership, its big step towards becoming a web portal, emerging as the most popular Bollywood site circa 2006/07, broadening into a wider family, fracturing into partitions, hitting an all time low and ultimately rising from the ashes as a phoenix…all the more wiser and stronger.

    NG has taken its fair share of hits and blows…but its still home at the end of the day. Like how being a Mumbaikar is my primary identity…on the web world, being an NGite is my primary identity!

    Here’s wishing NG a very very happy birthday and believing that it’ll go from strength to strength.

    NG is like kunti. Bacchhe paida karne ke liye kisi bap ki zaroorat nahi :D

    NyK, you took my joke man :P

    Remember class 9 Biology? Chapter 7, Life processes 2, pg 73-74, when you screw, there are chances of a baby getting in the womb, now needless to say a whole lot of screwing up was going on, even I take a particular pride in this, And for this reason alone, we can’t even be sure who the father is :D

    BTW congratulations NGites, heres for 50 more :cheers: ;)

    So how does it work? Are you really looking for potential employees or it’s just a game?

  27. Akshay 22 December 2009

    Comment Arrow

    Ofcourse we are looking at potential employees. The idea is to target the youth and establish some kind of a connect with them. This is just the beginning and we aim to carry out these kind of things regularly. People would be selected purely on the basis of their application and they may chose not to work with us :)

    Guy on NG that I would date – where do I start………

    ILG :D :D

    why are u guys so stuck up yaar? you are one of the early guys at NG – dont make it so personal. Life is too short for that my friend. SS can be your favorite – but you wont lose hair if u come to NG at times. I know you detest me and so I say this – almost all the good people here frequent SS too – so why cant the good people in SS frequent NG. Kuch ego ka chakkar hai kya? chalo main reillussions jata hoon – ab naa mat bol. you are an elder and you are setting bad precedents/examples for kids like Jay :D

    anyway cheers and good to c u here. Hppy new year to ur family and to you and oh ya DMG will make more money than Paa ;-)

    Wow. Thanks everyone!! Seriously.

    I feel embarrassed getting the “thanks” as I was just one of many members who built this thing into what it is. So, in all honesty, it’s really a thank you to everyone out there who didn’t give up on me and what I was trying (and still am trying) to create for everyone.

    I am quite elated to see old members such as Jayshah, ILG, Chipguy etc join us all again, even if for this one thread.

    This birthday, when put into that context, seems a little bittersweet; even though differences have been had, I know I speak for everyone when I say we miss them (and others) and wish they didn’t leave.

    I sincerely wish and hope that they come back in a greater capacity.
