Celebrating 28 Years of bajaj.com

bajaj.com turns 28 this year, marking nearly three decades of evolution through the shifting landscape of the Internet. From its humble beginnings in 1997 as an information portal to its current role, the site has continuously adapted to new technologies and trends.

Here’s a retrospective for those who may have missed its journey:

  • A nod to the early internet era when domains were registered through InterNIC and Network Solutions at a cost of $100 USD for two years—before which registrations were free, leading to rampant cybersquatting.
  • Back then, recovering a domain from a cybersquatter was no simple feat. Either InterNIC had to enforce its Lame Delegation Policy (which was rarely done), or one had to wait 60 days past the expiry date for it to become publicly available.
  • The site originally operated on shared hosting in the U.S. before transitioning to self-hosted infrastructure in Canada. In April 2008, it evolved into a blog, gaining traction through listings on portal sites, search engine visibility, and inbound links, which briefly attracted advertising.
  • On the technical side, bajaj.com spent almost 15 years running on a Dell PowerEdge 700 with an Intel Pentium IV processor, hosting WordPress on FreeBSD. After retiring the Dell server in 2019, it remained self-hosted—first on a Synology DS 1019+ NAS, then transitioning to Proxmox VE containers with Nginx Proxy Manager for enhanced flexibility.
  • Today, the site remains forward-thinking, accessible from IPv6-only networks, optimized with HTTP/2 and secured with DNSSEC.

bajaj.com continues to stand as a testament to digital evolution—an enduring presence in the ever-changing online landscape.

When I say “become water” I mean become a flow; don’t remain stagnant. Move, and move like water. Lao Tzu says: The way of the Tao is a watercourse way. It moves like water. What is the movement of water? Or of a river? The movement has a few beautiful things about it. One, it always moves towards the depth, it always searches for the lowest ground. It is non-ambitious; it never hankers to be the first, it wants to be the last. Remember, Jesus says: Those who are the last here will be the first in my kingdom of God. He is talking about the watercourse way of Tao – not mentioning it, but talking about it. Be the last, be non-ambitious. Ambition means going uphill. Water goes down, it searches for the lowest ground, it wants to be a nonentity. It does not want to declare itself unique, exceptional, extraordinary. It has no ego idea.
— Osho

“Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional…
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have knowledge, but less judgement;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less health.”

“I have learnt, I came alone and I have to go alone. I have learnt, some people are with you only when they need you, not otherwise. I have learnt, if you care for someone too much you will be hurt and ultimately blamed. Ultimately, I have learnt, love someone but not so much that you forget to keep some love for yourself.”
