THE PARADOX BLOGGER

Safety of Women in our country was never as vulnerable as it is now. Freedom has now become a bane for Women. That doesn't mean Women will sacrifice their freedom because of some inhuman anti-socials. We might not be able to bring immediate reforms in society and law system, but what Women can actually do is learn self defence. One of the simplest and most effective tool of self defence is a Pepper Spray. This is a Blog Post solely intended to create awareness among Girls/Women about the utility of Pepper spray for self defence -                             Pepper Spray: When it comes to self-defence, nothing is as safe and effective as a pepper spray. It comes in varying sizes and can fit your bag or purse. Whether you are out jogging, are on a blind date or in a crowded place where groping is a nuisance, these pepper sprays come very handy. Pepper sprays use an inflammatory agent that cause...

" Good Bye Sachin. You may retire from Cricket but you'll never retire from Our hearts. " 11 people like this. " We will never see him in Blue again :( " 17 people like this. " End of an Era...Henceforth Cricket will be defined as: - Before Sachin (BS) - After Sachin (AS) " 20 people like this. "It's the End Of the World for Us, Sachin retires from ODIs :'( " 22 people like this. My Facebook Newsfeed was flooded with these updates. #Sachin Tendulkar was certainly trending on Facebook and Twitter. I boasted of being a Great Tendulkar Fan, but I didn't update anything and I didn't tweet anything. Not because I didn't care, not because I was not at all sad. But may be because a status update wasn't enough to express my disappointment, may be because a tweet wasn't enough to explain my frustration, may be because these social networks aren't enough for me to let the world know what that man named...

Did you vote for the new Facebook Privacy Policy changes ? I guess No! Well neither did I! As a result Facebook has forced more Privacy changes on Us. Some pleasant, some not so pleasant. Facebook has started to roll out those changes since Wednesday, 12/12/12.  Let's have a look at all those changes -                        1. You are Universally Searchable on Facebook -  Remember that setting in Privacy Settings where you could decide who can search you? Well it's time to forget it because it's no longer available. Everyone can search everyone on Facebook ! Bad news for those who wanted to keep their Social activity invisible or limited only to selected people. In short you can't hide anymore! 2. New Privacy Icon A new Privacy icon will be added to the upper right, allowing quick access to some frequently-used privacy controls :                     ...

I was a Firefox lover, I grew up on the Web using our dear Old Firefox until I got swayed by the Google Chrome chronicles like everyone. A lighter interface with unmatched fast browsing kept me glued to Chrome and I could never find enough reasons to revert back to my dear Firefox. Thanks to the consistent bugs in my Chrome, I looked for an able alternative and actually rekindled my affair with Firefox, rather with the All new  Firefox 17 ! Download Firefox 17 ( Download for Windows | Download for Mac ) Perhaps you think I uploaded the wrong screenshot above, actually I just showed you the biggest reason to switch to Firefox . I've no idea if Facebook and Firefox are plotting against Google Chrome, but now you actually have a Facebook Messenger for Firefox , exclusively! This integrates the Facebook Messenger with the sidebar as well as the top bar (highlighted by circle in screenshot) . Now you'll say so what! Chrome also has facebook in sidebar. Actuall...

This post describes one of the most sought hacks available for customising your Blogger. Whenever you click a Label in your Blog, you see a message like this -                            "Showing Posts with Label ABC . Show All Posts" This message is completely useless and makes your Blog look unprofessional. This is irritating if you have linked your Labels to your Pages or Tabs. So why not remove it completely or even better, replace it with your own message! Let's go for it.                      Remove Label Message 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Proceed - Expand Widget Template 2. Now find (CTRL+F) this code in the template: <b:includable id='status-message'> <b:if cond='data:navMessage'> <div class='status-msg-wrap'> <div class='status-msg-body'> <data:navMessage/> </div> <di...

By Sushovan Parida  ----   I asked one of my Facebook addicted friends -  How many facebook passwords do you have? She said - What do you mean by how many? Of course one! And then I said - Sorry, You have three facebook passwords and also three usernames ! Seriously Guys! I'm not joking at all. Ok let me first tell you all your three Passwords -                        For example your Facebook password is " myPassword " is your Password 1, then the rest two passwords are variations of this password. For Password 2 just convert the first alphabet of your password to uppercase (if it's in lowercase) or lowercase (if it's in uppercase). So " myPassword " becomes " MyPassword ". For Password 3 replace the upper case characters of your password with lowercase characters and vice versa. So now " myPassword " becomes " MYpASSWORD ". Thus you can Login to facebook with your password even if you have...

Guest posting feature In Blogger is really useful as it gives a chance to new authors to reproduce their content on a well known Blog, thereby giving a head start to their Blogging career.

By Sushovan Parida  ----   Hi! I'm back. This time with a small yet funny trick. Some of you might be aware of this and therefore this post might classify as a crap for you! For others, this will surely be of great interest. Yes! this is all about those passwords hidden as asterisks(*) or black dots.

By N.S. SABYASACHI  ----   It is a bit unfortunate that we as a country are facing hostilities from our  neighbouring countries since independence. Pakistan since its creation has always harboured terrorist elements against India with an intention to destabilize our country. China the Big Brother supports Pakistan in their endeavour to divide India. We face threats from Bangladesh and from Sri Lanka in the South. Since we have open borders with Nepa l, terrorists use Nepal as easy entry and exit points. Our borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh are porous and not fully sealed. We face trouble on the North -East side with China claiming Arunachal Pradesh . These countries hobnob with these terrorists and have helped them to establish their bases from where they can carry out their evil acts. So, all the expertise for planting Bombs on soft targets comes from these countries. But not everything can be done from the...
