Hindustan Ka Dil Dekho

Having stayed in the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, for over two years (been visiting right form my childhood) and travelling quite extensively all over the state, I find this wonderful advertisement for tourism in MP all the more appealing.

The Longest Domain Names

The other day while returning from work an ambulance was overtaking our office bus, when I noticed it, an extra long domain name – www.kapoormedicalandambulanceservices.com – proudly displayed on the side of the vehicle.
