Gmail Storage and Happy friendship day



Gmail provides us 7+ GB space for the messages. When I first found out that my Gmail free space quota was being exceeded, I went for some Gsearch and found that the Google storage for a user gets shared across Gmail, Picasa and Docs and I thought this Gstorage is nothing but the same 7+ GB space and deleted some pics from my Picasa which were part of my blog on blogspot (pics uploded to blog gets stored in picasa). But I was wrong. Google provides 7 GB only for the messages and attachments. And then the additional space for other services.

In Google's words:

Free storage space is specific to each product. Free storage from one product cannot be used by or transferred to another product.
  • Gmail provides 7+ GB (and counting) for Gmail messages.
  • Docs provides 1 GB for your uploaded files (documents created in Google Docs and converted files don't count towards your storage, but do have some size limitations).
  • Picasa Web provides 1 GB for photos and videos. Files under certain sizes don't count towards this limit.
  • Google+ provides unlimited storage for photos, which are automatically resized to 2048 pixels. Videos up to 15 minutes in length are also free.

Efficiently managing your free Gmail storage is very simple and is very well described here:

Some most useful ways to delete the messages which consume the extra space: but be sure to recheck  before deleting such messages -

To find messages that are larger in size due to attachments, try using advanced search operators such as has:attachment or filename:mov or you always know who are the culprit best friends sending 'those' pictures and clips, find "from:them" and delete. Hope you don't cry when you loose that much of the entertaining and emotional content from such good friends, and if it's that important download it and be sure to forward it to me if it's 'very' interesting ;).

Happy friendship day to all such friends who never think of my free Gmail storage quota and forward 'those' interesting emails to me just to make me smile. My Inbox and Life is full because of friends like you. Thanks for making feel important.

ती अशीच त्याला भेटली, अगदी अचानक आलेल्या पावसासारखी

खूप पावसाळे गेले. पण अगदी अलीकडे पर्यंत त्याला पाऊस कधीच आवडलेला नव्हता. पाऊस म्हंटल की त्याला भीती वाटायची, नसती कट कट वाटायची. भिजणे तर त्याला कधीच नको वाटायचे, उगाच सर्दी ला आमंत्रण. पण मागच्या पवसाळ्यात ढग असे आले आणि पाऊस इतका पडला की तो पावसाच्या प्रेमातच पडला. पाऊस आधीही पडायचा, कदाचित असाच, इतकाच किंवा जास्त ही. पण या वेळेस मात्र पाऊस एकटा आला नाही, त्याच्या आयुष्यात सोबत घेऊन आला तिच्या केसांचा ओला सुगंध. ती अशीच त्याला भेटली, अगदी अचानक आलेल्या मुंबईतल्या पावसासारखी, चिंब भिजलेली. त्याला ती आवडली आणि म्हणून पाऊस ही. ती त्याला पुन्हा भेटली, न ठरवून, अशीच पुन्हा एकदा अचानक पावसाराखीच. ते बोलले, थांबले, विसावले. ती समोर आली तेंव्हा पाऊस नव्हताच, ती अजून थोडी जवळ आली तेंव्हा ही पाऊस नव्हता. तो तिच्याकडे सारखा पहातच होता, पण नजर चोरून. आयुष्यात पहिल्यांदा त्याने पावसाकडे येण्याची विनवणी केली. आशेच्या नजरेने त्याने ढगांकडे पाहिले. ढग होते, पण अजून पाऊस मात्र नव्हता. तरी ही आजूबाजूंच्या झाडात, डोंगरात, फुलात आणि पाखरात ओलावा होताच. त्याच्या विनवनीने अखेर तो आला. रिम-झिम, रिम-झिम...

NVDIA AI India

 NVDIA AI some Insights after digesting the event with some Diwali Delicacies! I had good time at the NVIDIA AI Summit held at the Jio World Center in Mumbai. It felt like every company working on artificial intelligence in India was present, either as an exhibitor or an attendee. Some sessions were so packed that people were standing, and even then, many more were trying to get in. Much of the discussion revolved around Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). These are undoubtedly central topics in AI today, drawing significant attention. I’m a huge admirer of RAG, but I still wouldn’t go as far as to say that “LLM (+RAG) is AI.” Although no one at the conference explicitly said this, it felt implied over the three days of sessions. I may be wrong, but I sensed a push for these technologies. Not just from NVIDIA, but from any hardware supplier, there’s an incentive to promote anything that drives demand for their solutions. NVIDIA’s GPUs are a backbo...
