There are many users like me who are on helm of low end android devices. People like me [ I am sorry, but I am going to narrate part of my story. About my experience with android] who were on Nokia bandwagon and have jumped onto android platform on the first available chance given to them, and are happy to have make a jump then to weep for apps and games used by their peers having android. Even if its low end or mid range android device didn’t mattered for someone like me at that moment because I was too eager to get on this awesome OS. I had read about various highly customizable rom on android before making the jump and I must tell you it was one of the most intriguing thing that I noticed about android at that moment. so I had made my mind about getting an android on any given opportunity. I knew that it would be impossible to get an high end phone at that moment because my old Nokia phone was just 7-8 months old. And asking for high end android phone had full possibility that I will be kicked out of house for this demand ( just an abrupt assumption ) and one of the main reason being added later that nobody from my friend or family had any positive thing to say about Samsung, And it can be valid point also, as Samsung phones are not (definitely not) meant to be as sturdy as Nokia phones (And sturdy phones were one of the point user viewed while buying new phone). And during Nokia reign, Samsung was not at all trusted (at least not by people surrounding me). Then too I went with Samsung Android phone (Galaxy AceI or GT s5830i). And thankfully my father approved an android phone for me ( and I think article of mine from TeChNoGeeK published in magazine played an important role). I must say this phone seemed one of the awesome phone at that moment, but as I started using this phone more and more, I discovered that it is lacking something.
1) First thing I noticed was that Broadcom inc was manufacturer of chipset on my phone, and that company don’t believe in open sourcing its source code for chipset, so it makes it very much difficult for developers to make custom rom or make any customization for your phone [I learned this thing from developers for my phone on XDA]. So was extremely disappointed as I had an urge to try custom rom as soon as I get my hand on any android phone. but as company had policy about not sharing source code. developers were not able to make any custom rom. It just have some custom rom that too made by moding stock rom. I bet many people would have faced same scenario too. Believe me its heart wrenching to know, that purpose for which you bought an android is totally beaten and torn apart. [Your phone would be having chipset from some other company so this point can differ for you]
2)Next I noticed that major OEM’s are not at all interested in providing an update to their android version. As I had limited knowledge about android at that time. I used to curse all OEM's a lot on all social networking sites for leaving us mid way. but then some blessed soul on XDA made me realize that low end phones don’t have hardware that can support latest or even mediocre android version. so I thought it was useless blaming OEM’s for it now, it was my fault that I got this device if I was so much interested for getting an updated android version.
3)Next thing that I noticed that I got an ARMv6 processor and it had no support for any of the latest games available. so basically I had an android phone and I was not able to make any latest games work on my device. Be it subway surf or temple run or BIA or GTA. no games were supported. And I had to bear brunt of my friends for not installing these games. but I had no choice there. These games were not supported on my phone so had no choice apart from weeping while seeing my friend play subway surf.
Few of the these jolts came when Google announced Google Now,Google Keep, Google Wallet, Google Chrome for phones having ICS and above. Initially I thought that they had just made it available for ICS users but we will be getting it soon. but that wait didn’t seemed to get over any time soon. Then Google announced Google Now for iOS. That feeling was like, Google is rubbing salt on my deep wounds. They have not made these software’s available for people like me running Gingerbread. And they went out of their way to provide it to iOS. It might be having some economic or some kind of strategy from Google to have it made for Apple. but people like me who are keen supporter of android are very much hurt. If iOS gets all Google services, before majority of android phones does. Then there don’t seem any major reason for people to be loyal to android (please consider customization an reason too for buying an android but Google services are important part to consider too). As being an OS by Google,. Google services are the only thing that people with low end phone look forward too and make them feel important. as they are aware that they don’t have access to latest android updates nor any other support from their OEM’s. so its heart breaking for us to get rejected by Google as well.
4)If Google was not enough, we are not provided support by many of the top developers or many budding developers. GB phones have no support from many developers ( for example- there are many twitter clients like robird, tweetings, carbon , falcon pro widget and many more that are not supported on GB). So that is even more heart wrenching for us.
So what can an android user possible do about all this problems? Nothing we can do about all this problem. We can just crib about lack of these features. Nothing is going to change from this point of view of anyone. But as you’ll know there is no better medium then blog to vent your anger.
P.S- YOU WILL PROBABLY AGREE WITH MOST OF MY POINTS, BUT SOME POINTS CAN DIFFER ACCORDING TO YOUR OEM’s TOO.

Android provide us with wide range of software, some are very useful while some are hardly used by us in our day to day life, there are many software that would help you take backup of your contacts. but here I am going to explain how to take backup on Google without any third party software.In this post I am going to give you method through which you can backup your contacts on Google. I know people who are already using android might be knowing this method ( and might feel that this post is waste, but people who are new on android should know what this OS is capable of.. and this might be helpful to many people who have just switched to android/ people who are not so much into phone so as to learn its each and every function). As we know android is one of the fastest growing Operating system, so there is an steady influx of people from Nokia, Apple, Blackberry onto android bandwagon. so they might want to definitely learn a way to enjoy android without any hard work. Google is a giant company providing us with everything we need. so as android is one of the products of google, it provides us an way to store our contacts on its server. And having backup on Google means you are ought to get your data back in case of emergency (other companies provide cloud storage as well but Google is my favorite, so sorry had to write about Google). so without taking more of your time let's start to backup our contacts.
Step 1
Ensure synchronization is active by tapping on " auto sync" on your notification bar (if its provided), if not then go to settings> accounts and sync> click on auto sync.
this step will sync all your contacts on your Google account.
select auto sync, option like above might be present if your notification bar has that option.
Step 2
Now your contacts are on Google, you can access, add, edit, modify or delete contacts present on Google account by visiting www.google.com/contacts. it will take you to your contact list ( but obviously after you have login on Google with the same account you have synced your contacts with).
optional (perform below steps only if you want backup copy on your machine otherwise ignore further steps)- Now to backup this contacts on your computer as well, instead of using any other third party software you can use this same contacts that you have synced on Google.
Step 3
Now to save backup of contacts on your Computer as well go to www.google.com/contacts or you can access your contacts by going to gmail.com from your browser.
so go to google.com/contacts or gmail.com from your browser.
if you are on gmail.com click on "contacts" from upper left drop down menu (where gmail will be written).
Step 4
Click on checkbox in front of any contact you want to take backup of. Incase you want to take backup of all contacts, click on drop down option provided near checkbox which is above contacts name and select all.
Step 5
Click "More>Export" after you have selected the contacts.
Step 6
Click Google csv format.
And click "Export".
your contact data will be shown in your download section of your browser.
DONE.

You would have heard root many times from your friends having android or on internet somewhere, and you always wonder what these term would be.
so what exactly means rooting your android? According to wikipedia : Rooting is a process allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem. In simple language you can gain control of your phone by rooting( i.e be an admin of your device, called as superuser in android ). you will be able to control your processor, change its speed according to your need and main thing you can increase (overclock) its speed. but need to handle it with care as with great power comes great responsibility. Rooting is the process which makes you take control of your phone completely. And this can also be termed as " feature of an android phone, which Iphone users should be jealous of".
For rooting your phone you don't need to know rocket science, it takes just few steps to root your phone, but care should be taken to download proper root file of your device, if you flash an root file of some other device on your device it can brick it (Bricking an android phone means you have damaged your phone software so badly that it cannot be used or repaired any further, as good as throwing your phone away, In most cases if your phone is stuck on your manufacturer logo or android logo and doesn't load any more then its said to be bricked). I am not discouraging you but just advising you to take proper care while flashing an root file. most of the user root their phones for installing custom rom's, because to flash an custom rom you need to be superuser (admin) of your device and that can be done only via rooting.
so you would be asking, why do we take risk of bricking our phone? just for overclocking or changing processor speed? Believe me it is just not overclocking or changing processor speed its lot more. Having an android means you are forced to carry your charger along with you. through rooting you can install softwares that will let you change processor speed so that when you are low on battery and don't need phone more than just calling and messaging you can slow your processor to save you some battery. and there are softwares that will do it automatically for you. here is one of the software that can be helpful to you, CPU TUNER ( REMEMBER TO ROOT YOUR PHONE BEFORE). Rooting will help you install custom rom's, many people like me would be bored to use stock rom or default rom( rom is the phone software installed on your device, for example as samsung's stock rom is touchwiz) installed on your phone which is always slow,laggy and ugly. after rooting your phone you would be able to get many apps in playstore that would help you increase performance of your phone.
Phone manufacturer gives us an guest privileges as they don't want us to damage internal software beyond repair. that's the reason we have to root our phone to get the most out of our phones because they don't have time for us to constantly give updates for our phones and make it an awesome affair for us to use their device. so it is upto us to get it done. and there are many software out in the market that would let you enjoy that.
YOU CAN ROOT YOUR PHONES TO GET FOLLOWING THINGS:-
1) Custom rom:-
If you are having an old android phone and are bored of using the same old rom or same old version of android on your phone, and update for latest android version is no where near. so your best bet in this scenario will be to get an custom rom. now a days there are many custom roms on net which helps you in increasing performance, speed, graphics and will help you to fall in love with your old android phone again. For finding custom rom you can visit forums on xda-developers.com.
2)Custom theme:-
Themes are basically the graphics that appear on your Android device. Rooting your device allows you the ability to fully customize just about every graphic on your device. You can load custom themes that totally change the look and feel of your device.
3)Kernel, speed, and battery
There are many custom ROM’s and apps available for rooted devices that will allow you to drastically improve the performance (speed) and also extend battery life on your device.
4)Baseband
Rooting your device grants you the ability to update the Basebands on your smartphone. The Baseband is what controls the radio on your device. By updating to the latest Basebands, you can potentially improve both the signal and quality of your phone calls.
5)Latest versions of android:-
As mentioned earlier, custom ROM’s can allow you to update to the latest version of the Android OS before they are officially released. This is a great feature for those who are tech-savvy and want to stay on top of the latest and greatest software updates before it hits the mainstream crowd. This is also useful if you have an outdated device that is no longer being updated by the manufacturer.
6)Unlocking Additional Features
By rooting your Android device you also gain the ability to unlock some features that your carrier may charge for. One example is enabling free WiFi and USB tethering, which many carriers charge money for. Now, I’m not suggesting you do this. But I did want to make you aware of the fact that it is possible to do this. However, your carrier may catch on to the fact that you are using your device as a free WiFi hotspot and figure out a way to charge you for it. So use this feature at your own risk
so take care while rooting your phone as it may brick your phone, procedure to root your phone is not mentioned in this post because rooting method for all phone models are different so its better if you search for the one working on your model, but you will certainly find one method on xda forums or simple method to find is to google your "phone model space root" for eg "samsung galaxy ace s5830i root".
I hope this post would have helped you.

No matter what our age is,what our nationality is we always rely on search engines for getting our facts right, to get some data which we know can be known best when found online.we always depend on search engines, search engines could be any Google or altavista. but all works in same way. I came across this topic through online course of Google i.e "powersearching with Google".
Whenever we want to search some data we head to search engines or say Google for most of us, but have you ever noticed that like us there would be many people who use search engine at that very moment. Search engines receives millions and millions of queries per day, so how exactly would it serve so many people? our common assumption is that Google gives us the page which is most viewed by most people on internet, and your assumption is right also. But you should even consider the amount of websites which are started daily. for example, say 1000 of sites mentioning user interface on your mobile devices, so you cannot assume that no one is ever going to write about that topic in future. yesterday 1000's were there today you may get 5000. so search engine has to scan all the websites that it receives daily, because they can't leave any website without considering or checking.so we can clearly assume that on daily basis it has to add hundreds and hundreds of websites to its databases, so we can have most relevant and useful data. According to Wikipedia :- " A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web". so basically you get sites related to term you searched on search engine.Search engines don't create any website or give you any data but it gives link or reference to the data you searched in search engine, that to in the form of websites or links to that websites. And these search engines give you result irrespective of the name the blogger or writer on that particular website has named his article as.There are many instance where the heading of the articles is not at all matching with the term you had searched in search engine then to you got the reference of that site and the material or the data in that file is what you were searching for.so how do search engine gives you reference of the sites from billions of site out there on internet?
so how would this search engine would be working?
The main three things on which search engines works are:
1)They search the Internet -- or select pieces of the Internet -- based on important words.
2)They keep an index of the words they find, and where they find them.
3)They allow users to look for words or combinations of words found in that index.
Any website you give search engine permission to scan( there are many personal blogs and sites on the net that many don't want to share with whole world) or include it in their database are searched throughout. all the terms are noticed by it and stored in its databases with the location of your site. so next time when someone comes searching for term that was mentioned in your website or page is shown there but according to the priority given to your site by search engine which notices web traffic to your site.so scanning of the pages are done according to the popularity of the page and that site. so the page with more visitors will be scanned first, and so on. so what is that program called as? it is known as "spiders", it is software robot which is made to scan any webpage that is added or modified on internet (that page has to give access to spiders,otherwise it won't be listed on net). it not just scans the page as it is, it scans the site and saves the words used there, that words are stored in its database along with the location of the site. The process in which whole document is scanned is known as web crawling ( so you can use more technical term for scanning as crawling).All the spiders have there own approach
Google spider looked at an HTML page, it took note of two things:
The words within the page
Where the words were found
Words occurring in the title, subtitles, meta tags( Meta elements are HTML or XHTML elements used to provide structured metadata about a Web page) and other positions of relative importance were noted for special consideration during a subsequent user search. The Google spider was built to index every significant word on a page, leaving out the articles "a," "an" and "the." Other spiders take different approaches. These different approaches usually attempt to make the spider operate faster, allow users to search more efficiently, or both. For example, some spiders will keep track of the words in the title, sub-headings and links, along with the 100 most frequently used words on the page and each word in the first 20 lines of text. I got this very nice thing to read about Google from howstuffworks,
" Google began as an academic search engine. In the paper that describes how the system was built, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page give an example of how quickly their spiders can work. They built their initial system to use multiple spiders, usually three at one time. Each spider could keep about 300 connections to Web pages open at a time. At its peak performance, using four spiders, their system could crawl over 100 pages per second, generating around 600 kilobytes of data each second.Keeping everything running quickly meant building a system to feed necessary information to the spiders. The early Google system had a server dedicated to providing URLs to the spiders. Rather than depending on an Internet service provider for the domain name server (DNS) that translates a server's name into an address, Google had its own DNS, in order to keep delays to a minimum."

Going back in time,we will try to find out android's history where we will talk about which companies have given us this great Operating system (except google ofcourse),how do we get so many software's for Android and that common android types(viz 2.2,2.3,4.0 etc).
According to wikipedia, Android is "Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smartphone's and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and other companies."
Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, United States in October, 2003 by Andy Rubin (co-founder of Danger), Rich Miner (co-founder of Wildfire Communications, Inc.),Nick Sears (once VP at T-Mobile), and Chris White (headed design and interface development at Web TV) to develop.Google acquired Android Inc. on August 17, 2005, making Android Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Google Inc. Key employees of Android Inc., including Andy Rubin, Rich Miner and Chris White, stayed at the company after the acquisition. At Google, the team led by Rubin developed a mobile device platform powered by the Linux kernel. Google marketed the platform to handset makers and carriers on the promise of providing a flexible, upgradable system.[There were rumours that android was also offered to Nokia,but as Nokia was very happy with success of its SYMBIAN operating system refused their offer and they are still suffering for there decision that they might have taken in haste,but you can't always believe in rumours]
Only one thing which is working in Google's favor is their decision to make android open source,due to which you can find any software according to your need, even if it is related to any matter.you want any software for any of your needs you search in market and you'll get it(and I have made this blog to share with you all software's which I have come across). by making their operating system open source they have encouraged developers to make software for their product and that to by making profits for both the parties.
According to android open source project "The goal of the Android Open Source Project is to create a successful real-world product that improves the mobile experience for end users."
Recent Android Versions are:
2.3 Gingerbread refined the user interface, improved the soft keyboard and copy/paste features.
3.0 Honeycomb was a tablet-oriented release which supports larger screen devices.
3.1 Honeycomb, released in May 2011, added support for extra input devices, USB host mode for transferring information directly from cameras and other devices.
3.2 Honeycomb, released in July 2011, added optimization for a broader range of screen sizes, new "zoom-to-fill" screen compatibility mode.
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, announced on October 19, 2011, brought Honeycomb features to smartphones and added new features including facial recognition unlock, network data usage monitoring and control, unified social networking contacts, photography enhancements, offline email searching, app folders, and information sharing using NFC.

I think that technology is the only thing that can help us save water now,because the way we are using our resources I don't doubt it will be exhausted in few decades.but we might only think that we have enough resources that will easily be available till 80-90 years after that we will not be alive to bear its after effects so its okay if we don.t care about it,but that's wrong mentality we have towards nature because even if we won't be alive our children will have to suffer through this and I can bet that no parent will want their children to go through Hell for the sake of water which they wasted because it was available to them.
For me water is the most important natural resource even more important than oxygen.because for oxygen we are blessed by some nice invention by some great personality(I am not searching Google for that personalities name here because our today's topic is for water) who have invented oxygen cylinder and even more technologies are been found for the same.but we cannot say the same thing for water because till date we have not found substitution for water.Water is such a resource that is used in almost all thing you use in daily life,let it be your morning coffee or cola or pepsi you drink,let alone foodstuffs it is used in manufacturing purpose also,it is used in power plants,Pressurized water is used in water blasting and water jet cutters. Also, very high pressure water guns are used for precise cutting.so this were some of the uses of water we can think of at any given time.
So basically we can say that we have not found any substitution for water till date.And what effect it will have on us will be known in long run.so many will ask what type of technology will help us to conserve water resources.so now if truly speaking, I feel that we are way beyond that part when merely closing tap will help us save water.Now that is just basic thing we have to do for saving water.so which technology and how to implement them can be best explained by our scientists because always EXPERT help us get through tough times,we are the ones who can just write about it but they are the one's who have to implement it. so talking about technology we would have never imagined that we will receive water by merely turning the tap and water from hundred's of kilometer away will flow to us. so that is what which was made possible to us by experts.next example can be of Air conditioner,our fore fathers would have never imagined that we can get below room temperature by just a click of button,and even that is possible now.so you consider any technology let it be fan,computers,mobile phones,toasters or any electrical equipment ,nobody would have imagined before the discovery of that product that it would be so easy to perform that activity.In the same way we want just one technology that can do the same for water,because by turning the tap we all receive water but think of that day when, after turning the tap you would receive water after 7-8 days because there is no water available for us.and luxury of getting water everyday will be the thing of past.
You might think of above statement as an example but it is reality in many remote parts of India.You won't believe it but in remote parts of Gujarat people receive water after gap of almost 7 days,that's not because Government is not taking initiative for water conservation project but due to water scarcity in that region.And due to that building dams yields no result as there is irregular rainfall in that region.And due to water scarcity people started using ground water for daily purposes due to which ground water level has also decreased.so what steps to take to slightly normalize the situation? steps are same that you,me all would have learnt at some point of time
"To plant more and more trees in your environment".
But we don't have time for such filthy works now as we are very busy with our daily life.but think we just have to give few minutes for it..and it can help you,your children and maybe even their children.Few days back I had read about level of pollution in our rivers(and it includes most of major Indian rivers) which has made it unsuitable even for agriculture purpose let alone drinking that water.if we would have helped in maintaining that rivers then we can at least get some other sources of water to consume apart from dams but due to human nature one more source of water has been exhausted.so now we are left with only one alternative, i.e. Rain water in our dams.Rain is unreliable source of water so relying on it will leave us with no water in long run because of deforestation activity undertaken by us.
we need many activists to join hands to save this resources,to make government know the importance of water and to clean our holy rivers(so that it can be of some use to human race).
So guys spread this article for the sake of water you consume.
THIS GOVERNMENT HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SOLID FOR THE SAKE OF ITS OWN PEOPLE.

Now a days we all use i phones, or some galaxy device or some other android device but there was a time when having a phone was luxury and at that time only one company used to rule the market,it was NOKIA. During that time using a phone having camera would make make you richest among your folks. And along with camera if you would have phone with Bluetooth( Nokia 6600 ruled market then) then it was considered same as you are having Samsung Galaxy Note in today's time.we are not here to discuss history of Nokia but we are here to share something about Nokia's downfall according to us( company would have surely discussed this matter with their official but according to us it will give them user's feedback on their role in market).
For company which started as a paper mill and went on to be the number one company in whole world and that to in the field which was totally different from what it owner would have thought at that time. Only for that reason I think we should salute Mr Fredrik Idestam and Mr Leo Mechelin,founder and co founder resp of NOKIA,who himself would have never thought that his company would be number one in field which is totally different from where he started it.
IT IS NOT AS IF WE HATE NOKIA, IT IS JUST THAT WE DON'T LIKE IT NOW.
why don't we like Nokia now?
People used to buy Nokia devices because they were sturdy. you don't had to worry if your phone slips from your hand, with Nokia you can have that trust that even if your phone had great fall, you'll just need to attach battery and case, and voila your phone is ready for use again. so what is the problem now? so now Nokia doesn't give you enough sturdy models?
none of the people who have used Nokia once in their life will say that thing, because they would also had their phone intact after some great falls.
So now what is the main factor for Nokia slide down?
I personally feel that the main reason can be its old operating system, because when you see human nature it tends to get bored quite easily and fast after using same thing for many years, same thing might have been instrumental in Nokia's downfall, you can't expect people to use different device with almost same features and same operating system which will enable you to play same games and use same software. people want something new, and by something I mean some big change is needed you can't make minor tweaks in existing operating system and give it back to user (for example you can take android, if currently you are using android v 2.1 then you know you are bound to get update of v 2.2 in some time and that to in same device itself) so I think that is one aspect where Nokia has been overtaken by android.
next factor can be increase in usage of applications:
Before android and apple revolution begin,people used to be quite happy using their old phones equipped with camera and Bluetooth only, but now a days people want all types of applications they can get on market to be installed in their phone. but Nokia is not open source as android so there are lesser applications to use in Nokia then android. so that is where Nokia looses to android, because youngsters are now more and more inclined towards application which make their life easier and Nokia doesn't give them that option.
User interface also plays an important role:
user interface of Nokia or we can say of Symbian is very very dull, and in android you can customize your user interface with all kind of widgets. so if Nokia can get what android offers us on User interface part then it can be partly competitive with android.
In this blog I am not saying that NOKIA is working for a lost cause( I am myself using Nokia from last 6 years and personally I am happy with its body or exterior of my phones but not with its hardware and operating system) It is a company which makes nice sturdy phones but what it needs is not solid models but some nice software even some change in operating system , which it has made to some extent also by introducing windows in its phone. but it will have to work harder to get it lost ground.

Now moving to our topic for this week, which is on "ENGINEERING”, original definition of Engineering when searched in wikipedia is something like this-
"Engineering is the discipline, art, skill and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize improvements to the lives of people."
but according to students who want admission in engineering it is the best profession from all the available field right now. but if they take into consideration the view of students who are already in this field they might think of giving up their thought of taking engineering. but all that thing depends upon individual thinking so one person might think of going to commerce after taking into account the view of their seniors other might just think that the person from whom they have taken their view from was scoring less than them when that person was in that particular class so they might feel this field more tougher than it actually is, and believe me there are people who think that way. but to their disappointment this view of them is totally baseless because once you are into engineering you are bound to be disappointed because person who has scored less than you in their previous exam are much ahead of them in their semester exams(note for non Engg students. engg syllabus have semester pattern).
This is mainly because people might think that during admissions in the college he got more marks then others in his class so he can just beat them in semester exams but when results are out they are shocked to find that there are many people ahead of him in that particular exam, this is because he came in this field because his parents felt that he had to be in this line to be something irrespective off his choice ,and he would be talented also from him but his interest is in this line for his love for his parents. believe me if he would be given choice to choose his career path he would have selected some other line for himself but just to make his parents dream come true he is in this line but many people are in this line because of their love for machines be it computer, cars, circuit or anything else related to engineering . It is not that this people will get top marks in their class or something but once they are through engineering they will be happy with their profession because that is the line they have chosen for them self and will be satisfied, on the other hand person who are in this field for their parents are bound to break down somewhere in their life because of their lack of interest in that subject.
You can describe engineering however you like, you can feel engineering however you want because at last you are the person who has to stay in this world with this profession. it is not something that you can ask others to give their view on because there is simple logic that no two person has same view on any one thing some people may like red color some may like black color, so when you decide to take engineering as your profession then instead of taking others view on that subject just ask one question to yourself -CAN YOU STAY ALIVE WITH THIS PROFESSION FOR REST OF YOUR LIFE and taking into consideration your love for machine you decide if you want to take this field or not, and if you want you can ask others also about this line but always give preference to your own thought because you are the one who has to live with that knowledge.
so with that I am concluding my third post in my OWN blog,and friends please help me in getting better by giving honest feedback/comment about my blog.

Now starting with our second article, I always use to imagine that how come someone of the age of 19 creates a website that is of great demand and is very well known. but always one question comes to my mind while thinking of such a great stalwart that even if India has such sharp minds, vast knowledge, great institutes (obviously should be only IITS), and last but not the least vast population we can't produce even one site which is even half in its popularity from Facebook, but 1 thing which can be held responsible in this issue can be our EDUCATION SYSTEM
Where till the age of 16 your knowledge of understanding things is not even considered, to get noticed you have to increase the capacity of mugging things up. till then you just have to wait till your exams and prepare yourself for mugging more and more of syllabus and if you survive this then you can achieve milestone in your result but that is of importance till you achieve your admissions in junior college then after that till the age of 23years you finish your college education and achieving your degrees, which is again very much important to get you a job in good company.
But the main thing in education system of any developed country revolves around practical knowledge given to students. But in India you can compare it to null. Nor can any student help in exploring any other ideas along with studies because of the vast syllabus he has to deal with.
Due to this the average youth of our country graduates around age of 23 years, and after that experimenting is the last thing on anyone's mind as they have to get settle in their respective job so as to get married according to their parent's wish where his age would be around 25-26 years. And after marriage every individual wants is only one thing that is steady flow of income to support his family. So many powerful brains which use to top in their respective school and colleges get is the only job of various post and dreams of owning such big sites or company might just get dimmer and dimmer for them
While on the other hand MARK ZUCKERBERG started making his own projects from the age of 19, and he even left his education for making his dream come true and giving time to his dream. If any average Indian guy tries to do the same thing then it can tend to make him most vulnerable in the so-called civilized society. He is termed as FAILURE for rest of his life. So leaving college between his educations is a big No-No from them and even their families.
so we have to wait till our society becomes less civilized, which can be impossible. so next best thing can be done is government to make our education bear some fruit for all, for our country, for our parents and then lastly for our self.
So with this i have written second post for my blog,so friends please help me in improving myself by your beloved comments/feedback.

Computer Security is the main concern we have in today's electronic world, because today all the transactions are done online so to safeguard this transactions we have to take some preventive measures, and the manner in which you take this measures decides how much secure your computer is!!! so this post is not on steps you should take to safeguard your online world because that point you can easily get with help of our FRIEND (google.com) ,so instead I will write about why is it necessary to take this steps, and what will happen if you fail to do so.
Your online world is always in danger, sometimes because of faulty servers, sometimes due over-excited friends who can't keep secrets and spread your details with others, and sometime due to an individual who we call as HACKER. your online world is your responsibility, you can't blame any other organization for anyone breaking into your account it should always be our respectability to protect our virtual world .lets take an example to understand better You buy an car lets say from X company and then after some day somebody breaks into it and take away all your valuables from it, so whom are you going to blame the manufacturer who have made the car ( in our case say X company) or the distributor who have sold you the car.? let it be in that case or in our case we cant blame anyone for this as it is our duty to protect our digital world, you can't blame facebook if your facebook account is hacked into or say that facebook is very easy to hack, because as an multinational company nobody likes to tarnish their image so they try to provide us with the best security but even then your account is hacked into then it should be some mistake you would have done by giving your password or details to anyone or keeping easy to break password or keeping same password for long time or some individual brilliance i.e. hacker. It is not that it is always our mistake if you are hack into, it can also be as their servers are vulnerable to attack but it is not always the case. so for majority of case we have to protect our self from this attacks
Even if you consider any company related to transactions like paypal or say eBay or any bank account ,these company have the best technology in business but as they are green pasture for hackers as once they are through they can get hold of some really big amount so along with company it is our duty also to take protection and prevent your virtual world from being misused by someone.
It is always as prevention is better then cure so you have to take prevention before your account is hacked into because getting back what you have lost can be virtually impossible.
you might also think as nobody till now has hacked into your account to cause you harm and will never be able to, but you should always remember that particular NOBODY wants only one chance to get hold of your account once done you will have to pay price for it, so remember ONE SINGLE ATTACK IS NEEDED BY ANYONE TO DESTROY YOUR ONLINE WORLD ,SO avoid that single attack by taking proper preventive measures.
