Yeah, definitely its long way to go for "guruji" .... as "google" already created the path way for others too.
Nice to see some indian stuff in gurujii ... thats my opinion.
Yes definitely,Guruji has a long way to go and it is not exactly a competitor to google.But the audience is different and hence, here Guruji has a upper hand over Google(especially google.co.in)
