Think of this and you can imagine a person who wants to have fun and dance!!
The actual meaning was a person who is very rude, loud, or stupid!
Then again it was only an acronym for a much bigger full form!
Then again it was short lived just like the shout!
Enough suspense! It was YAHOO!
You may think that the site was named after a bunch of nerds who were secretly fans of Shammi Kapoor and his dance moves and catchphrase!
Why secretly then since the nerds did actually call Shammi when it was launched in India! This was because the name and the shout was already popular here!
But (then again what is a blog without a single but! with a single t!); the name was actually based on Yahoo as defined in the novel Gulliver’s travels!
There are races of fictional beings in the novel (most beings in that novel except the human were fictional of course!) who were an unsophisticated, rural Southerners! The general definition being bunch of rude rowdies! Like ‘some yahoo cut me off in traffic’ or ‘a bunch of yahoos were making noise outside’!
Then again it was not even called that! The first name when Yahoo! was founded in January 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo, who were electrical engineering graduates at Stanford University was “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web”!
The Guide was a directory of other websites, organized in a hierarchy, as opposed to a searchable index of pages!
In April 1994, Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web was renamed “Yahoo!”.
Finally what did the full form stand for you may ask if you are crazy or gone Yahoo! Well, it was “Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle” or “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.” Take your pick and say Yahoo!
After that you must read about the inspiring tale of K.P. Ramasamy!
He is known as appa (father) that his employees refer to him!
Today, some 27,000 women have completed their education, even earning an MBA in many cases, while working at the Coimbatore and Tirupur-based KPR Mill. Some have become nurses in nearby hospitals, a few work at IT firms and many have returned to work at KPR Mill!
When factories across the country sent away their labourers during the nationwide lockdown in 2020, KPR Mill gave its workers a choice: If you stay, we will provide you food, shelter, full salary and entertainment. Each of their 12 factories has a cinema hall, sports facilities and an auditorium. “100 per cent of the people said we will stay here only,” says KPR. The company has around 25,000 employees!
Now here’s the staggering numbers – In the last several years over 24536 girls have finished their 10th, 12th, UG, PG courses!
They have their alumni in almost all hospitals where the girls are working as Nurses, school teachers, some have joined the Police force and the list goes on and on!
In a recent convocation over 350 girls received their degrees and out of which 20 of these girls are TN Open University Gold Medalists.
They received their degrees and Gold medals from the TN Governor!
In the Forbes List Of India’s 100 richest people, one of the faces include the now 74-year-old KP Ramasamy. He has secured the 100th position on the list with a net worth of ₹19,133.7 crore!
Now you definitely can say YAHOO! With pride and joy of course!
Shubh ratri…
