<p>Google IS amazing. For fun recently, I googled the name of my maternal grandfather. HE didn’t come up, but his uncle did. That uncle had played a part in Texas history, and my grandfather had obviously been named for him! My mom didn’t know any of that. I kept digging and discovered that my great-great grandfather was responsible for bringing a lot of settlers into Texas in the 1830s. Without a good search engine, I never would have found this out!</p>

<p>Wonderful. Thanks so much for posting this.</p>

<p>So beautiful! The amazing thing is that Google didn’t exaggerate about how we all use Google searching and the internet to figure out where to go, how to get there and what to pack.</p>

<p>That was sweet. </p>

<p>What is amazing is the internet. How in the world did we live without it?? And what in the world will it morph into over the next decade?!</p>

<p>ETA: The ad also got me to google “Partition of India,” about which I knew next to nothing.</p>

<p>Great ad.</p>

<p>I know people who have, or have had, family members on both sides of the partition for a very long. There is an extraordinary Hindu Temple in Lahore, Pakistan, and Muslims used to go to it on special occasions. Dhrupad music, one of the most pristine forms of Indian music (I sing it), was traditionally sung by Muslim singers abut Hindu gods in princely courts. (My own teachers are Jains, singing Muslim music about Hindu gods.)</p>

<p>All before the British…</p>
