I was born in a small town called Nagpur in Maharashtra, India. Nearly 40 years back Nagpur was a small town as compared to its glamorous cousins Pune or Bombay.

All of you must have heard the news that Google is phasing out Google Reader by July . When I heard the news, I was a bit worried as it meant that I will lose out out on reading blogs that I follow very diligently.                                                                                                                 RIP Google Reader Photo Courtesy: Freedigitalphotos.net After checking online for various options to Google Reader, I finally signed up with Feedly. All of you who want to move from Google reader to Feedly , you can find the guidelines here . To know about various options for Google Reader, go to  Mashable website Since I use Chrome as my browser, I just had to add the Feedly plugin for Google Chrome and all the feeds that I follow were smoothly transferred from Google Reader to Feedly.
