Phenomali – Rahman Noodles
This is the latest mash up video from RajStar’s Rahman Noodles project. I think it’s the best one yet. You can decide for yourself though, the rest of the videos are viewable at his website – http://www.RajStar.com.
And you can download the album for free here:

Googling Nationalities
Today I thought to post on my blog after a long while. When I realized that it has been exactly one year since the last post, it had to be done.
So today we look at some brain-tickling observations. The question posed is “what is the first Google search result, when googling nationalities in the form American, Chinese, Korean, Russian etc,” and what information can we extrapolate from this?
The result is both interesting and somewhat humorous. Shout out to Google for making this post possible.

Note that these searches were conducted from the USA.
Some observations:
- If you’ve every been to Mumbai, you know how many two-wheelers there are in India, no surprise here.
- The results suggest Peruvian food is really good, need to try that asap.
- Googling Spanish leads to a translation website, no surprise here being the number of people in the USA who speak or are learning Spanish.
PS. If I forgot anyone (and I know I did with 195 recognized countries currently in the world)*, please don’t take it personally. I don’t have the skills to write a computer program to google all the countries and return the URLs- but if you know how let me know!

PPS. Dubai is not a country
PPPS. The results here are for fun only and in no way is this article trying to stereotype any nationality
