Nothing is Good, Nothing is Bad

Today when it was raining and i was standing at my balcony i saw the train passing with engine blowing horn. I felp it nice, actually very nice. It was the same horn which anoid me always but i don't know why i felt it to be nice.

I realise that there is nothing good or bad in this world. Its all depends on which side we are. If you win sport, u say good but opponent felt bad, vice-a-versa. There are lots of such examples, think about them.

So i just wanna say that try to get the best learning experience from bad because at any time you may be standing on the other side that you will call good and other will say bad. So just keep the learning from bad as they will help you to hold good for the longer period of time.

Tensions in Kashmir

Two weeks earlier i with seven more were called to the show at NDTV 24X7 on the issue on Kashmir. I still remember that my parents told me that do not speak anything thats may create problems. This shows that how much fear is there in the valley. So people are unable to express what they really want to. Hence its become very important for the government to understand the requirement and feeling of the commoners.

Government talks about the development and economic welfare of the people but what about those children who dies by the fire of military. In the valley it is common to have curfews but that evening is unforgettable. I still gets my eyes wet when i remember that time when i was standing at my windows peeping outside to get the view of the world around. There was all of a sudden curfew called. Then i saw 10 children coming from the school and military saw that mass movement fire on them without getting a proper view and they all 10 children died. Now the point is that if this is the cost of the security then who wants it.

Government says that for development they want peace and hence they keep army in the valley. But my question is that how could you achieve development by stopping any movement of the common people. They say that we can divide J&K into Jammu and Kashmir by giving more power to Kashmir state government for the better development. I say yes do that and its a good solution but what about the problem of common people as they still need to face curfews in Kashmir. Valley will still be having more army men that citizens. Still the ice in the valley will be red. So common person living in valley wants peace but not at the cost of death of children.

Who says that we achieve peace by weapons and blood? Who has said that we can achieve freedom by killing? If government really looking forward in giving peace and development to the valley, they need to get the same solution as US use against those who look towards there land.

Terror can only be kill by the method of opt to start and i.e Education. Terror group wrongly educated people about their rights and the government negatives. Now the time is to deliver a better and correct eduction which not only tell people to move in the right direction in life but attain a financial status so that they are force to join or help terror groups.

Gmail domination over Ymail, Hotmail, Rediffmail

@gmail.com is the most popular mail id in India. Let me tell you it was launch when Indian population was dominated by @yahoo.co.in and @rediffmail.com. You will be surprise that orkut was also registered most by using these two. But later on its turn out to be the google dominated industry and @gmail.com the most popular and now maximum have their facebook account using @gmail.com.

The email company which is most effected is rediff as it was use to be popular among students due to its fast and light service fit for college and school labs. Second is Yahoo which was the primary official ID. Now GMAIL is used in both the fields: student and official.

The reasons for its popularity are:

1. Google dominates the Indian Internet Industry and most admire brand in
India above apple which is global most admired.

2. Gmail gets updated every week with new features that is of interest for the students who gets some thing new to work on. Whereas others come with a major update after a long time so they lack behind in technology and lost interest of the user.

3. Gmail uses best technology in the industry and always try to use the latest technology which makes it easier for the office use or corporate use,

4. Gmail face lots of attack but still the most secured email. Hence become the best choice for the government to make it as there primary mail ID.

Google with wide range of Internet focused product makes it the most admired brand and primary choice when we talk about the Internet products. The best example is the Chrome browser and Android Smart Phone which gained popularity due to the trust on Google and they are open source, free of cost availability.

Keep using google and keep updated to latest technology.

EPIC - first ever indian made internet browser (Made by Indian Made for Indian)

EPIC, which is the first ever made by India, made for Indian web browser, brings a new trend and believe in Indian web market that it has what it takes to be future biggest global web market.

Epic do not only have features that will go to his favor as it is made on Mozilla but also that it has many new features, apps, Indian personalization and themes. Maxthon is a popular Chinese browser but not that popular on global level, in the same way Epic has Indian consumer as its target.
The problem with Epic is that it is based on Mozilla so people will prefer Firefox and Flock on Epic. Also Flock is social browser which offer choice of Mozilla based (Flock 2.x.y) and Chromium based (Flock 3.x.y) while Epic has only a browser based on Mozilla which is outdated by Chromium and rest of Mozilla fans will prefer Firefox. So we need to have open source base software tool to build new type of browser.
Indian market may see many more such “first ever innovative” launches soon. As internet will be under the reach of many due telecom growth so we may see: Indian search company, rediffmail better, new docs apps and many more……

Fuel Price Hike - A positive step or a blunder

I heard people saying that the government of "Aam Aadmi" is bringing higher inflation raising the price of the Fuel and decontrolling it. I would like to lay down some general theory about that:

Bad effect of fuel price hike:

1. Higher inflation i.e. food will get expensive for the middle class as higher class its really affects and lower class gets food at cheaper rate by the Government.

2. Over burden on government to supply food to low class at the cheaper affordable price.

Benefits of Fuel Price Hike:

1. Transportation cost is high so local goods will get an edge in the market. This will led into expanding of local markets means more employment for the local people.

2. Lesser the use of fuel better for the environment.

Ill Effect of Decontrolling:

1. Company will decide there own rates at their own time, this will lead to uncertainty in the transportation cost which might result in losses in import and export business.

2. Government lose one parameter of controlling inflation.

Benefits of Decontrolling:

1. Government do not have burden of giving cheaper loans or stimulus to the oil companies.

2. This might result in competition between oil company to control their rates and give cheaper oil. This might bring options for consumer.

So, I hope you got my point that it has many advantages as well as disadvantages. It will be interesting to see the result of it which will effect not only people but the government which has won the hearts of people twice and hoping to win third time in 2014 Lok Shabha election as the LPG and Kerosene (which is used by "Aam Aadmi") is still kept lower than the market price and the price in other nations.

This also give us the moral that everything has a bad and a good side so we should look a the good side and stop our dependency on oil. Its not easy but if consumer demand company will provide them with solutions like CNG, Electric etc.

In the end, nothing can stop growth in such a fast technology growing country and such speed breakers (Fuel price hike) can only slow us down for a very short period of time and we know how to regain better growth.

Firefox 4 Beta 1 is the next generation of Mozilla browser

With the launch of Firefox 4 Beta 1, Mozilla starts with the new generation of browser and new look which is some what a combination of Opera and Chrome.

This new version was launch to get an advantage in the market which is shifting back to Internet Explorer as it gain more share in June which is the first time in recent years.

With the launch of IE9 it will be more interesting to see how the market swift as Microsoft is calling it the next generation browser.

Google with Chrome and Android is ruling the world so its gonna be a big fight for browser share. Wait and watch big improvements soon..............

Free Free Free - Thats the demand of Indian

Today when we buy any item we do not want to know how much fat it has or calorie it contains. We want to get some offer like Bingo has 50% Extra on Rs.5 pack or Vim bar free with Surf Excel.

The same trend can now be seen in the telecom sector. Uninor with "Badalta Discount" has brought the freeism to Telecom sector. Tariffs have been the tool that differentiate telecom from others as rate cuts don't come free of cost butut now its changed.

Uninor understanding the trend in Indians that they like free things so Uninor gave it a move with supplying something free. Now rates cut are variable but free. This "Free" is really important for Indian market as it has been the tool to drive the sale of both the main product and free product.

It will be interesting to see what the consumer call it but right now i feel it will pay of and will surely bring lots of customers as its really innovative.
