So I'm back, this time with the best way to beautify your Google Chrome browser.

What I'm going to share with you is the best Chrome extension I've used till now, its bound to make you fall in love with Chrome all over again!






ANTP - AWESOME NEW TAB PAGE
Yes! the extension is named as ANTP.
Install the ANTP extension from Chrome Web Store here





Click on ADD TO CHROME. 

Chrome will automatically download the extension, once downloaded you will be notified about it with a pop-up window.
Now open a new Tab and you will see the best New Tab ever!

Now before you start customizing your ANTP, you need to keep in mind the following two icons :
                                                   



                            ANTP LOCK 

Check for this white lock symbol on the left top bar of the new tab page. This white lock corresponds to ANTP LOCK mode. The lock mode is used for normal browsing and you cannot customize the new tab with this white lock mode.

                                                  
                                         

                             
                             ANTP UNLOCK

When you click on the white lock icon the above red lock icon appears which is the ANTP UNLOCK mode. This unlock is mode is exclusively used for the customization of new tab, you can add new thumbnail, you can drag and reposition a thumbnail, delete a thumbnail.




ADDING A THUMBNAIL

In the unlock mode (red lock mode) click on a blank thumbnail, the following window will appear :



Enter the Name and URL (highlighted in yellow) of the website, now if you want a screenshot of the website in the thumbnail then click Use Screenshot and you will be directed to the URL you entered and an automatic screenshot will be taken of the website. Now click the " X " at the right top of this window and your new thumbnail will be added to your ANTP.


My favourite feature of ANTP is this Google thumbnail :



 It houses all the Google products in one thumbnail, that is click on the Google+ icon (blue arrow) and you are in Google+ page, click the Gmail icon (red arrow) and you are directly in your mail. One thumbnail for everything from Picasa, Youtube, Search and Google play!

So start using and customizing your Awesome New Tab Page and let me know if you are having trouble using it. Drop in your queries and feedbacks in the comment box.

THE FIRST TIME

By
It was one of those typical weekends and I was  the typical lonely guy, sipping away my cup of coffee, all alone. It was just me and my phone enjoying each other's company on a weekend evening. It's not that I had no friends, I had fairly good friends but they had girlfriends. Believe me; the girlfriend always scores a victory over the friend when it comes to investment of attention and company. My thoughts were meandering across the vastness of my solitude when my phone started ringing abruptly.  It was Rohan, one of the few friends who actually call me. Rohan - Hey man, wass up? I sensed an obnoxious sense of dizziness in his voice. Me - Hey bro are you drunk? Rohan - Oh my God you know me so well. You are my true friend. It’s not just me, Vikash is also drunk. Vikash was my college roommate, another one of those saintly friends who still call me. Me - Oh God! What are you guys unto at this time? If this is an invitation for a booze party, you alr...

Never Too Late To Have a Happy Childhood

By
I love the statement of Walt Disney who quoted -- "Thats the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up". By the time we begin to understand enough about the world to ask the right questions, our visit is over, and someone else is visiting, asking the same questions. The carefree attitude was lost somewhere. As a child we had a different craze for chocolates, for toys and for everything sweet but our intentions were pure and pristine. We were innocent, we wanted happiness for everybody whether it was a friend or a foe. We had priorities set to a different level. For us happiness used to come in every small package whether its a delicious snack cooked by mom or a new book gifted by dad, or the 1st time we ride a  bicycle. We used to be busy with something every time, whether its watching the rainbow or counting the stars, or making strange imaginations from the clouds. Our days were short and life was fulfilled. We never knew what is Money a...

THE GIRL WHO BLOCKED ME

By
“Hello. Before you wonder who I am and why did I invade your privacy in this ludicrous manner, I want to tell you that I understand that this is the most uncivilized and discourteous way to start a conversation with some girl you have never known. The worst I could do was to take your phone number without your permission. I mean that is genuinely the worst way to approach a girl. But you have to know I had to send this message, to make my mind guilt free, to proudly reply to my conscience that at least I made an attempt and to win myself a conversation with you. I am sure all this is irrelevant and inconsequential for you but I want to confess that I may have practiced writing this message several times through several days. I might have visited your Facebook profile a few times. And I might have rehearsed a few times on how to cope up with the failure once I don't get any reply from you. But all these hardly diminish the fact that I have utmost respect for you and t...
