Facebook Introducing New Look To Profile Page

Facebook – The social networking site has been introducing new products – one after the next – with the goal. It seems of turning the entire Web into one big social network, so eventually the Internet will be Facebook.

Today when I login to my Facebook profile I found something new. One Green Tab showing to my facebook account telling that Get New Profile. As im very much addicts to Facebook and always try something new, I made a click and what I see is that my whole profile page is changed. I ask to my friends on that, some says we didn’t get any updates like this and some says we are already moving to these new look. The thing is that, Facebook have just launched their new look profile page with some welcome UI improvements, making it “even easier for you to tell your story and learn about your friends”. I’m very much excited to know what’s new to this profile look. Check out my profile screenshot below:

Indian Government Approves Fresh Symbol for RS

India is to have a new symbol for its currency, the rupee, after the government approved the winning entry in a national competition.

The symbol is a cross between the Roman letter R and its Hindi equivalent, and was designed by a teacher at the Indian Institute of Technology.

Sonu Solanki met Dr. Kamla Beniwal who is the governor of the Indian state of Gujarat.

Mother's Day

The concept of Mother's Day is in its infancy stage in India, but is catching up with the other major festivities celebrated in the culturally diversified country. Indians celebrate a lot of festivals as it is and the kind of success this western conception has received is surely commendable. Though Mother's Day is not an entirely a novel concept in India, as people have been celebrating Durga Puja - honoring the divine Mother Durga and the Great Mother - Kali Ma, a day dedicated to a person's own mother was something new.

Thanks to globalization, this western festival of Mother's Day has found its place in India as well. Commercialization has given its celebration the much needed awareness. While the concept has found a respectable position in the metropolitan cities, it is fast spreading in the smaller cities as well. Similar to the western countries, the celebrations in India are held with great pomp and show. Indians also realize the importance of this day and dedicate it to the efforts undertaken by their mother in their upbringing.

There are various programs held in India, with respect to the day, and an assortment of women oriented products are also launched. Children of all ages celebrate the festival with zeal and gusto. Cards and flowers top the gift list on Mother's Day. Kids also make special meals and let their mother have a day off from kitchen. Mothers are pampered on this day. Just like westerners, Indians too reflect and express appreciation for the contributions made by their mother throughout their lives.
