Emptiness (I am so lonely) - Rohan Rathore / Gajender verma

I was introduced to this song by Abhinav sharma a friend of mine in I.I.T during our end terms exam but amidst the tension of that time i listened this song for more than twenty to twenty five times a day. All the blog-o-sphere, YouTube and even after Google(ing) for more than five hours i couldn't come to a definite conclusion who actually sang this song.
According to most of the references i witnessed everyone was convinced with the fact that this song was sung by a guy namely Rohan Rathore an IITG student who was suffering from cancer. He sang this song for the girl whom he loved a lot namely Supriya (about whom there is no reference at all). Unfortunately she didn't returned his love and this song is what he could do against his battle with time to show his love. But if logically saying there is no pic or a very authentic proof which gives this side of story a confirmation. Very little is written about the person and i tried my sources at IITG but none of them had any idea about Rohan Rathore being a student from there.
The other side of the coin which also is doing the rounds of internet is that a person named Gajender Verma is credited as the singer and composer, and lyrics are written by Moonami Roy and Aseem Ahmed Abbasee and they claim to have copyrights with them. I don't know any of them personally so would suggest you to enjoy this song just as Emptiness without thinking about the story doing the rounds.

The lyrics of this song is pretty tough to catch on the first go. .so here's the lyrics:-

oh love of mine. .
with a song and a wine. .
you're harsh and divine. .
like truths and a lie. .
but the tale ends not here. .
i've nothing to fear. .
for my love is yell of giving and hold on. .

and the bright emptiness. .
in a room full of it. .
is a cruel mistress ho ho o. .

i feel the sunrise. .
that nests all hollowness. .
for i have nowhere to go and i am cold. .

and i feel so lonely yeaa. .
there's a better place than this emptiness. .
and i am so lonely yeaa. .
there's a better place than this emptiness. .

hei yei yea. .
aa. .aa. .aa. .(background)

tune mere jaana. .
kabhi nahi jaana. .
ishq mera dard mera. .hayee. .



tune mere jaana. .
kabhi nahi jaana. .
ishq mera dard mera. .

aashiq teraa. .
bheed me khoya rehta hai
. .


jaane jahaa aaaa. .
pucho to itna kehta hai
. .





that i feel so lonely yeaa. .


there's a better place than this emptiness. .

and i am so lonely yeaa. .

there's a better place than this emptiness. .


alaap continues. .

As you've probably noticed while surfing the Web, actual graphic content, or creative, varies considerably among banner ads. The simplest banner ads feature only one, static GIF or JPEG image, which is linked to the advertiser's home page. There are several ways a banner ad can be successful some of them are..
Cost per click - The number of visitors who click on the banner ad linking to the advertiser's Web site.
Page views - Advertisers are interested in page views because they indicate the number of visitors who could have seen the banner ad.
Click-through rate - This describes the ratio of page views to clicks.

Different measures are more important to different advertisers, but most advertisers consider all of these elements when judging the effectiveness of a banner ad.

Now a days advertisement can also be done through using Google - AdSense. Here  Google uses its Internet search technology to serve advertisements based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. For more technical information on it info follow the link below

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARES

Free softwares are a boon for a customer as they don't have to pay a buck for it also there is no licensing problem and easy to install.  In 1998, a group of individuals advocated that the term free software should be replaced by open source software (OSS) as an expression which is less ambiguous and more comfortable for the corporate worldOpen source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open source software (OSS) projects are built and maintained by a network of volunteer programmers. The prime examples of OSS are VLC MEDIA PLAYER, MOZILLA FIREFOX, GCC, APACHE, UBUNTU. Main points about OSS are:-
--> Users should be treated as co-developers
--> Several versions
--> Changes should be implied as soon as possible
Positive points of OSS are:-
Companies that offer open source software are able to establish an industry standard and, thus, gain competitive advantage. It has also helped build developer loyalty as developers feel empowered and have a sense of ownership of the end product. 
Less cost of marketing is there.
Development of software is pretty quick and in accordance with customers need.
Negative points of OSS are:-
Sometimes the software is not tested in various dimensions.
A small project may miss out on funding.
