WRONGLY CORRECT

WRONGLY CORRECT

(Sonali Bhatia)

Have you ever been lost on a wrong path? Ever felt like being LOST, BEWILDERED or HELPLESS?

Like, what we call it... a Lost soul who doesn’t know where it is heading to and following blindly in search of a destination. You know where your destination is and where the path leads into but then, you are on the wrong side.

There are mainly three stages you go through during this journey.

The first stage where the journey begins unwittingly and you, soon, following the path and get yourself completely into it. You feel relaxed away from all tenseness. And suddenly there is a feeling of you being important, free and most of all, happy. You still continue this journey in search of more happiness and freedom.

Then comes the second and most interesting part, where you feel everything related to you is correct but that is what you feel. While others are busy observing your negative change, you start losing your closed ones but are busy in enjoying the attention of "truly fake" ones. And by the end of this stage your illusion begin to deprive.

Tadaaa..!! And here comes the most awaited and the last stage. A sudden realisation attacks your 'Wrongly Corrected' world. Your "Truly fake ones" throws you away. Your mind and heart for the first time feels connected to each other, to save you. But the 'Wrongly corrected world' has taken over you completely by then. There is no escape road but a small key hole glittering a ray of hope.

Now the main struggle starts to find the key. Soon all your will power comes to an end. An end which was never imagined. Though you escape, but that ' wrongly corrected world' haunts you forever....!!!

The eyes of an atheist

THE EYE OF AN ATHEIST 

(Lakshay Raja)

Of all the articles trying to explain the religion, desperately putting the view onto us of what ‘they’ see, where half of them end up concluding it as the ultimate bullshit - opposing a belief, or something not being explained is not being an atheist.

If a man walks into a room and falls in love with say, a beautiful table and concludes it as a place where his god lives and begins to worship, it IS completely okay! Any wild belief or getting possessive over an object and considering it as the ultimate is fine. Fine until it is in YOUR head. 

If not letting anything else move in the room where his god lives and asking people to not touch the table, to not move, to not eat until the table orders is where the bullshit begins. Fighting over it is nothing but where two sick minds get themselves into the same room with two beautiful tables.

The eye of an atheist won’t find the table beautiful. The possessor of the table won’t find the atheist smart. Irony is, being in a room with table lovers is disturbing and so is seeing someone trying to see what hides under the table.

An event worth four thousand lives?

AN EVENT WORTH FOUR THOUSAND LIVES?
(Lakshay Raja)

A nation desperate enough to refine the existing laws for a sporting event, not a game but possibly the only big chance to connect with the west, Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022; promised and shall be presented as one hell of a festive for sure.  Have a look at an image before we add some ‘sidelined stories’ spices.

A design presented; the stadium is expected to be built before 2019. Has it ever been for any recent megastructures that more than a thousand people lost their lives completing it? And its still 2015. And there are half a dozen more. 

Four hundred thousand Nepalese migrated to Qatar in 2012, signed to work under the conditions (google it), risking themselves for ten long hours each day for ten years and getting paid with less than five pounds. Ignored, revealed finally by ‘The guardian’ (check the website) with the stats of a death per day, tell me, does the image still look beautiful? Seven more years, not the way supposed but the event has become the most awaited one. 

Blink of an eye.

Having a disturbance around you, is a wonderful gift, gifted to many but respected by only a few. Always having someone around to be engaged with. Someone to think of, someone who keeps on reminding you just how important you are, to them, and to everyone else. Someone to tell you they love you. Someone, to call of your own. To be angry with, to be angered by. Most importantly, to be there. 

You wont believe just how day-making a call could be RIGHT BEFORE you get off your bus, before you start walking towards your home asking you "bc kahan hai? Ghar mat jana, mein aa raha hu". And you dont pick up any further call just cause you know the value of the next plate of momos, or the next fog you are about to share. 

No matter it is a night in or a night out, someone is always a constant. And some-thing too (you know what i mean). It was actually a trippy time, I didn't even get a note just hoe the three years had gone by. And now when i look back at that time, even though we have done things no one could have done, it feels like it could have been so much more. But all i can do is tell myself that it was the best that could happen. 

"Years" did not have the same definition anymore, they were like, seconds gone with just a blink of an eye. Work was work no more. A week of patience-less idiots, having simply the best week of their lives. But all I can do is tell myself that was an era. They all come to an end. 

The nights didn't seem like nights no more. Days had a different name. And well. The back-side of the shops do really make a big hell of a difference. And haha, the pen rolled papers. They were the best things to happen to me, actually. But all i can do, is think that maybe it was just what it was. No more stuff to be handled anymore.

But when this disturbance fades away (no, he is alive :p) in some silence, even temporary. You feel like you have no reason to visit that place again. I mean, it kills you so bad inside that you're just constantly wondering "yar kaun bulayega mereko raat ko rehne ke liye? (who will call me for a night stay every other day?) bc, momos kiske sath khaunga? Yar rolling kisje sath hogi? Roega kon poore tym? Sala hasi to gyi hi gyi. Rona bhi sookh gya" and all you want to do is just bury in a silence and you just dont want to escape. Just lie there, and remember everything you had with them and forget the fact that life, some way or another, has to move on. This disturbance is actually those assholes, who share that string of your life, which makes you simply forget the world and live in the moment. Who make you realize why, just why this life is so beautiful. Those who give you a reason. Who are simply a family. Whatever i say, big or small. It will always be an understatement for you. I miss you bro. Already. 

I hope things happened the same way again, I really do. Trust me, even thinking of your absence is making me cry inside. I'm not even there yet, but I feel so alone already. Take this as a tribute to our friendship, and the love that our circle shared. I wont ever forget the moments that we shared, no matter how big or small. Yes, the fate has brought us to a turn, I say god forbid to happen to anyone else. But now, is a time to make sure we do what we've got to do. For I believe in Moonchild. May or may not the world understand. But all i know, and need to know is that no matter how far you are, i know you always have my back. You jerk.

THANKS FOR MAKING MY ERA A GREAT, NEVER-ENDING LAUGHTER! I love you buddy :)

Bhai, kuch bhi karle. Rahega tu (samajh ja) hi :D

Apple Music Is Finally Here !! 

With the new update Apple has finally released Apple Music. Now what’s new here?? Is there something compelling for the users?? Lets find out .

Now music streaming services are something people are already familiar of. There are a bunch of other alternative services like Spotify , Pandora , 8tracks that are already being used . That’s I guess the main reason Apple Music didn’t received much anticipation from the users .

But its not completely stupid, there are some additional services that users might appreciate like Beats1. Well it’s a brand-new internet-radio service which is available  24-hours a day, 7-days a week live radio station broadcasting from 3 cities - Los Angeles, New York and London . Beats 1 doesn't have ads, but like other radio stations, will have sponsored message breaks . Without a subscription, you can play these Internet radio, but you'll hear ads between songs.

And there is a new service called Connect which connects your artists with you , Its kinda like a place where you can follow your favourite musicians and get behind-the-scenes photos, videos and updates , which I think would be really compelling to some of us . 

There is also a section called “ for you “ which basically recommends songs according to your likes and the time at which you are using  . So yes this service is quite handy .

So what’s the monthly subscription for Apple music ??

Apple Music initially comes with a three month trail and afterwards it’s gonna costs $9.99 a month and it also comes with $14.99 family plan option for up to six people to add . 

Plus apple music would be available for download for Android on play store and it would also be compatible with Apple TV by the end of this year  .

But besides all this ,  it’s not something to get excited about , Atleast not for me I am happy with Spotify !

Bit Torrent Sync 1.4

Bit Torrent Sync 1.4

Well you might be wondering "ah another cloud based service"  but let me tell you its not and believe it or not its actually better than most of the services currently available like drop box and iCloud . And it is actually quite simple..

 Now the concept behind Bit Torrent Sync is it actually doesn’t involve backing up or storing your files on cloud in fact there is NO CLOUD . Instead it connects to the platform directly , so its pretty much sending files from (say) one PC to another, just using your Network's bandwidth. But it doesn’t end there. You can also encrypt your data so you know its quite private. I mean no one would want to share their personal data with some anonymous person.

 

Just drag n Drop the folder(s)

How it appears to be.

pretty impressive huh?

This time it is quite easy to share your files, you can share by email, qr code and URL. Just select the folder, get the link generated, and just be a careless human (with a steady connection though). 

Permissions include have the user to get the files just accessed (read-only), accessed and edited, or owned. In read only the person will just be able to access the file but in read and write, you can edit, copy, paste .. meanwhile, you have a space-saver option too (owner). Have the file as if you own it! So it is clearly in your hand. Plus you can also set up permissions like you can setup an expiry date and the file would only be accessible till the applied date...(now, how cool is that!)

The best part of URL is its pretty easy you can send your data to anyone without any hassles and its completely private because even after giving the link you will be asked by the application for the confirmation status whether or not you want this person to access your file! 

Plus you can selectively sync all the files and folders so you can save up your space by getting files you want which is really cool. So you are not forced to get the whole bunch of files while in reality you just need a couple of them!

And it’s pretty neat and fast, and most of all, reliable.

And a personal experience. If you use services like Google photos or  photos on iCloud . This could be a real relief for you guys because you can backup your photos with no hassle at all!

And you are not limited by space !!!! Yes that's where it creates a huge difference.. You can send huge files to others. (Even Batman)

But one little concern here you can’t send a single file , it has to be a folder for you to able to send . But the rest is pretty much fine, I mean I am using this for a couple of days and I haven’t noticed any bugs or any serious issues !!

Another beautiful feature. You can get the sync deleted from the other device as well. yep!

I hope this is compelling enough to download it. You can get it here.

And you get to try PRO for 30 days (everything big comes in small packages)

If you have any questions do post on the comment section below , And if you want I can also post tech articles on request .

And don't forget to share :)

New Facebook logo!

Holla Facebook’s New LOGO is here !!

Yes Facebook has a new logo now . Well it’s just a slight change not a major transformation . Instead of redesigning , Facebook just Increased the white space between the letters , there is also a slightly thin lettering which is hardly noticeable . Facebook said its “set out to modernise the logo to make it feel more friendly and approachable” . New logo might suggest some more changes to come . And this newer logo will debut in near future among all the platforms .

New Messenger Update

       Messenger Update

Do you sometimes feel that a perfect way to answer a conversation is emoji or animations , well then great news for you ! Facebook announced a market place of such apps in the new messenger app which would allow you to send and express your feelings in a more simpler yet cool way . You would now be able to send from a large variety of GIFs and emojis . It’s a great news for developers also as they can create third party apps for messenger . 

In the market place yes “the messenger marketplace” you can choose from a large variety of apps especially made for messenger ! Does it sound lame , well don’t be surprised but messenger has a really strong user base statistically 600 millions a month!! *sounds a lot right* 

                    

Facebook has also announced a great new way to improve the experience of online shopping , Now you can communicate with the businesses directly , yes it is kind of like a live chat but more than that . Evidently all of your stats from placing an order to delivery you can track it all down And the best part it is kind of like a substitute to the huge pile of mails delivered to your mailbox for every kinda detail , But here you get it all in a single place in form of script . Great huh !  Plus if you are a business owner you can register your business on messengers website . Some of the brands are already linked so you can check out that if you want .

And did you know that you can now signup for messenger even if you are not on Facebook !!

WHOOOAAA right , as we all know Facebook had made it mandatory for the users to download the app only for Facebook , it really annoyed most of us . But now you can use messenger app without a Facebook account all you need is a phone number and you are good to go ! 

But the best part is you are not left behind in any of the features like voice calling , video calling , payments … So yeah it is pretty good

 

And well to summarise great update for both normal user and the businesses and I assume it might be the game changer .
