Google calendar quick add

Often in Google Calendar, quick add can prove to be very helpful and more importantly - fast. With intelligent keyword and context matching it'll make things faster when we're to add a bulk of events spread over a range of dates. The best part comes with recurring events - we dont' have to click on 'edit event details', check the 'repeats' check box and select how the event repeats! With 'quick add' we can simply schedule a repeating event as:
Birthday Manu 7 May repeats yearly
 or
have medicine 9pm repeat daily for 2 weeks
Google calendar will intelligently parse the above comments and schedule the event/reminders accordingly.
A list of possible 'quick adds' can be found here:

Quick add can also be seamlessly integrated into your application using the calendar API. Instructions can be found here:

~ Happy holidays, and have a great time scheduling..
