 and it's a 479,271,181 km Journey..

                       



Yeah I am travelling to Mars really!.. eh..not literally but my name will go there in a silicon chip which will fly to Mars! (How cool is that!) Now I will be officially Martian lol. NASA gave the special chance to register and be part of their march 2016 Insight mission for Mars. It's mission will be to travel to Mars and collect the data related to the seismic activity, temperature and activity due
to gravitational pull of it's moon and that of sun on it's surface. It will help us to understand how these planets like Earth and Mars came into existence and to understand more about their structure overall.

All n all it will be another great achievement for humankind and this time I will be a part of that(BRAG!) and as a big Space enthusiast I'm very excited about that! Thanks NASA for making it possible to be there before actually being there!

Does Mall Culture Came And Gone In India ?

 



India is developing country as they say and will require another 20 and 30 years to be inline with the already developed western countries. But what sometime startle me that at what rate India is developing compared to other countries that are already developed like for example United States of America. I remember when Big mall revolution started taking India over in early 2000 and all big metros witnessed tremendous boom in this sector. People started purchasing their goods from malls and even started preferring them over shops. This carried on for while and big brands flourished as young Indian youth with their increased purchasing power preferred loomed over brands and spent lavishly on brands until recently. After the year 2005 when people started using smartphones a new way of shopping was introduced to them that was online shopping or E- Shopping. That started a big revolution of new e-commerce websites and business based out of  Internet. In the year 2007 flipkart started selling books through it's portal. It changed the way how we shopped until now. Suddenly shopping became much more convenient, just at your fingertips!  New websites like homeshop18,snapdeal and very currently amazon started fueling the competition by opening their portals and providing user the much needed option to the Indian buyer. Now Indian e-commerce worth is around $ 13.5 billion as of 2014 and stated to grow up-to $ 20 billion industry in 2015.






 Noticed how short lived the mall trend was in our country as compared to other countries like USA  were first mall opened in 1956! Ya this can also be blamed to late FDI enactment in our country which itself brought the brands and hence the mall culture. But how people changed from mall to e-commerce given the better prices and convenient really amazes me and also is the proof of the fact that when compared  with other countries India is developing at the fast rate at least in the commercial/shopping department.

Play YouTube In Background & Multitask

 


It's very convenient when you can just find and play your favorite music on YouTube. But one thing I always find restricting that in-spite of large music collection that YouTube have you can't play music while screen off or while doing multitask! That's just plain waste of all the music on YouTube. 

YouTube's official app doesn't allow you to do so. But it provides background play with its new music key which is premium service that you can opt for 7.99$ ! and also its not available in all countries. I think that background playing feature should be included in official app cos it's necessity and it's should be integrated in the app without any added cost.
