LG stops making windows phones

"The total unit of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure" LG explains.

The company has now stated that for the foreseeable future, they will solely focus on Android handsets and take an indefinite hiatus from WP. LG hasn't necessarily experienced smooth sailing on the smartphone seas, but committing to a single operating system should allow the company to get the most out of their mobile division.

Charminar has the signature style of Islamic architecture,which is known for its aesthetics looks sturdy and solid from a distance and, as one moves closer, it emerges as an elegant and romantic edifice proclaiming its architectural eminence in all its detail and dignity

If you doubt the above statement, I’m here to prove you its true

Shopping area.

People were just opening their stores as it was 6.30AM when I reached there

 

Here comes, a long shot of 421 years old Monument, The Charminar

built in 1591 by Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah,to commemorate the elimination of a plague epidemic from this city

Now lets take a closer look at this wonderful structure

Each of these Char – Minars ( Four Towers) are 151 feet high, and are built in 1591. There wasn’t any reconstruction done except one or two renovation measures. But the grooves and designs on this structure doesn’t make it feel like its 421 years old. you feel those designs are done on a fresh cake which is cut by an expert to form a romantic design.

Can you imagine this being done 400 + Years ago at 150 feet high and its still standing there… every groove of it. every curve that’s been designed to show how romantic a structure can be!

Facebook buys instagram for $ one billion

Facebook acquired instagram, a super successful photo sharing and editing cross platform app, for USD one billion

It was said that Facebook will be paying one billion to instagram in the form of cash and shares.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the acquisition in post on his Facebook Timeline, on Monday. The sale is expected to close later this quarter, and will bring the staff of Instagram to the social network.

Instagram addition is expected to add some exciting photo editing and sharing options to Facebook.

Considering the number of photos shared on Facebook, this is the right move to take the social network to next level and to keep its users excited with new and catchy features.

This should help Facebook to retain top position, especially in the current situations where in its going public and competitors like Google plus are trying hard to reach the number one slot.

"For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family" Mr. Zuckerberg wrote. "Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests"

You never wanted this to happen

My neighbors kid was playing around in my home when I asked my mom " does she go to school " and she replied " what do you mean? she is only one and half year old. she should turn 2.5 if not 3 so that she can go to school."

May be because of the other thoughts that were running in my mind at that moment, I felt " what the hell, Idle till someone turns 3!. it means I wasn't doing anything productive till I turned 3! such a waste of time! "

And after playing around with her for about an hour, I realized that its been long since I had spent time with someone really innocent.

Things have chaged a lot. I was one such innocent kid too. Never wanted things that I crave for, today. And was never restless :-)

Was happy with a glass full of rasna, never knew about expensive drinks, pubs, gettin drunk, parties etc.

An old tyre to play with, never wanted an indoor stadium and a 5grand racket.

A bicycle made me happy, never craved about owning a big car.

I remember begging my dad to give me his ink pen in exchange for my pencil with eraser ( I was studying UKG ) . Never wanted to have expensive pens collection.

Sharing chocolate with a good friend was real fun, never knew that i would walk alone in the mid night, with a cigarette for peace of mind.

Being part of hide and seek team mattered, never wanted to be a leader at work.

Being kid who doesn't know 13th table was ok., never wanted to be a matured adult whose mind calculates profit and loss, ABC costing and project status.

A new pencil box made me happy, never wanted to touch a computer or tablet.

Letter from uncle seemed wonderful, never wanted to hold a blackberry

Never knew i would run behind packages, designations and job profiles. Never wanted to have power. never wanted to have a lover ;-)

Being friend to many made me feel content, never craved to own a big and successful business.

When i was a kid, i never wanted to do quite a few things that im doing today

If being educated is moving far from innocence and being successful is wanting more, i guess i'm on the right track.

Cheers!
happy craving. .
