India wants Net Neutrality

India, a country with around quarter million internet users now wants net neutrality. While this concept seems to be new for many Indian internet consumers but it is going to affect every one of them. It is like saying don’t be racist to the data. Every data available on the internet should be treated the same way. You cannot create filters of your choice on the data of your choice.  That is not done. Airtel recently came up with a separate plan for VOIP calls. But they had to pull that after being criticized by many netizens.  Flipkart recently pulled out of Airtel Zero plan and issued and official statement supporting net neutrality.
The ISPs are thinking about more ways to earn money or in some cases recover their losses. Apps like WhatsApp have almost put an end to the SMS culture which has resulted in losses to the internet service providers. Most of the people in India don’t SMS now, they just WhatsApp. You can’t blame them also as texting through WhatsApp is free and you can send unlimited texts.
I think there should be a middle ground in this where everyone is happy.

Who are You?

Who are You? I guess it is the question that most of us must have asked ourselves more than often. Do you look into the mirror and ask yourself   WHO ARE YOU ? I know, I do. In this constant battle called life, we get too lost that we actually forget living. We forget what we used to stand for and what we used to believe in. We become something that we always never wanted to be. We go down that path that we know leads to that wrong destination but we still keep going. It is like we can't help it. It is like something is pulling us down there and before we know it, we are already too far ahead on that road, we never wanted to take in the first place, that it is too difficult to come back.  Then one day, you look at the mirror and don't even recognize the person in the mirror. It feels that you are looking at  a complete stranger. It is like your greatest fear is looking right back at you. Then you ask the mirror " WHO ARE YOU ?" So what happens? What makes us loos...

All the worries

As a kid, when you heard about certain stuff like ghosts it gave you the chills, probably, because you didn't understand what ghosts really are.Your only thought was that they are going to hurt you if you saw any of them and that scared you. But as we grow, stuff still remains the same. While most people are not afraid of ghosts when they grow up, probably because they think they don't exist or stop giving a crap about but other fears creep up and they take place of those ghosts. By the way, I am still afraid of the ghosts whether they exist or not. Fears like job security, education, love and countless many more. We get lost in all these fears and worries. An average person doesn't think more than this. He wants a good education, a good job, a good spouse and all the little things in life. But when things don't go according to our plans, we start to loose hope and our worries start. Hope of a better and a happy life is what keeps an average person going through the ...
