This one is about the name.......
(Who cares if somebody has said "what's in a name?")

Don't you think, Niraj has chosen a slightly unusual name for his blog. Especially if you belong to non-Hindi background (and if you care to think about such trivial stuff), it certainly will appear so.
Whatever. Here is the reason why Niraj chose this name. Niraj has developed a liking towards poetry during his last year in college( he would like to add that a movie called "Dead Poet's Society" is somehow responsible for it). Among the few poets he has read so far, Nida Fazli is his favourite. A few lines from his poem called "Mukammal Jahan"

kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahin milta
kahin zameen to kahin aasman nahin milta
Quite literally, Nobody ever gets the perfect world as he desires, sometimes he doesn't get the desired land and othertimes, desired sky.
Niraj believes that everybody tries to create this perfect world for himself and eventually fails. But this almost-sure failure should not deter one from trying to create it. That's what Niraj would be doin' with this blog. An attempt to make his world a bit more "mukammal".
Amen!
[Most probably you have figured it out by now. Nobody thinks of so many things while naming his blog. At least, Niraj doesn't. But, he likes to come up with such deep explanation in hindsight and one of such explanation is in front of you. But he is serious about making your world more "mukammal"]
