Google Page rank 4, wow!

We have been working hard for our travel guide to India, and it was an amazing feeling to see that google has given it a page rank 4. Very unexpected, but pays well for the hard work put into creating it. The site has everything from details on India and its states, to its tourist locations, to detailed road maps with distance calculator, live weather and climate conditions, hotel bookings with amazing discounts, etc.
Some might say, PR is no longer a sure shot tool for google rankings, but I don't care for now. I am way too happy to get the rank 4.

Can Plecos, cat fish live in saltwater marine aquariums

No.

They can only tolerate a very small amount of salt in their water. If you put it in saltwater tanks, it will die within a couple of hours. The salt content in the marine water aquariums, it will slowly burn its gills and dehydrate it by preventing their normal osmotic drinking behavior.

Ramayan on NDtv Imagine & Mahabharat on 9X

I am really amazed at how bad the two epics, Ramayan & Mahabharat look on Ndtv and 9X, resp. The acting is mediocre, the characters all wooden, background music is awful, and the sets are so unreal. There was so much that could have been done with these serials as we now have technology and digital effects to use. If done properly, these serials have the story to surpass any big Hollywood movie or ABC serial as well. The old serials were so good and genuine masterpieces, and if the new one's had taken even half of it, it'd have been worth watching them.
The only thing common in the two serials coming on 9X and Ndtv Imagine is that they have both been made equally pathetic.
