7) ALS Ice Bucket Challenge 

                                                  If you spent any time on the Internet this year, you've surely seen this one. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was an awareness campaign that spread through social media where users dared their friends to dump icy buckets of water over their heads. More than $100 million was raised as a result of the challenge, the majority of which will go towards finding a cure for the neurodegenerative disorder.

8) NEW WORLD LEADERS ELECTED

                                                              Ukraine, India and Egypt were among the countries to hold high-stakes elections in May. On the brink of war, Ukraine elected chocolate billionaire and pro-European Union candidate Petro Poroshenko as president after the ouster of Viktor Yanukovych, who sided with Russia. India voted in Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi, a man who has his own checkered past, as prime minister. And nearly one year after protests led to a coup in which president Mohamed Morsi was overthrown, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi clinched the presidency with 96.91 percent of the vote.

9) MAKE IN INDIA

                                  Make in India is an international marketing campaigning slogan coined by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on September 25, 2014 to attract businesses from around the world to invest and manufacture in India.The major objective behind this initiative is to focus upon the heavy industries and public enterprises while generating employment, empowering secondary and tertiary sector and utilising the human resource present in India.

10) Peshawar School Attack

                                    Last but not the least Peshawar attack by the Taliban terrorists which is considered as the world's one of the most horrible incident ever took place in the history of mankind took place in Pakistan On 16 December 2014. Every part of the world shed their lives for the innocent children's who lost their lives due to the animal like act of the Taliban's.

I think these are the most important happenings which took place in the year 2014. As always let us leave the worst things behind and hope for the good things to continue in the future. 

                                               Lets Welcome 2015 with HOPE

                                              

Dan Brown's INFERNO

Dan Brown is one of my favourite author whose books has been the major reason of my addiction to books. Yes my first ever novel which I completely spent my time in reading is Dan Brown's "DIGITAL FORTRESS"and this book did not get its recognition for its awesome story line. After this I became more addicted to his books, but this addiction does not stop stop just with Dan Brown but also continued to other books and novels.

So my latest read was Dan Browns- Inferno. Ofcourse I did not get the book as soon as it released but I was completely patient and was waiting for the pocket money. As you might have gone through the reviews by legend readers, this is just a small review of his fan from India and that's me. So I read the reviews before I read the books, Just out of curiosity. As the reviews said the way the story moves is fast and it is completely based on symbols as the earlier Robert langdon series. But the actual thrill of the story starts from the last 50 chapters.

The beginning of the story is itself a mystery as Langdon wakes up in a hospital with no memory of his past and how he reached there. The story continues as he is companied by one of the doctor in hospital who helps him in retreving his memory and at the same time they are both chased by a  assassin.So Robert Escapes the assassin by his knoweledge on the secret passages of Florence.

The story continues as they are both chased not only by an but also the government. Dan Brown completely brings the whole of italy into the story, As the story it has lots twists and turns in it as they make book more attractive and addictive.

The book also gets lot deeper into the history of inferno and Dante. The author has completely gone through a lot experiments on the title before writing the story, which I think is the secret behind the success of Dan Brown books.

But some of the cons according to me was the story felt more similar to the earlier Robert Langdon series, even though the beginning was different still something doesn't feel right. At the end author says that the the villain of the story is not completely which I accept but some of my friends who read this book didnot accept this.

According to me the book was freat but still i would prefer DIGITAL FORTRESS over INFERNO. 

Introduction of WINDOWS 10

The latest version of the world's most famous operating system is Windows 8.1, but lately on september the new version windows has been announced by the Microsoft officially. While this was taking place I always thought the next update would be called "WINDOWS 9", but they went in little advance and named it "WINDOWS 10". Yes the next and the latest version of the windows is going to be called as WINDOWS 10. when asked the reason why it is called windows 10 instead of windows 9, all they could say was that it is would be better to be called as 10 as the features are lot advanced. But according to my conclusion and the reviews that the OS is getting so far is that it looks almost like the windows 8.

Microsoft managed to present a demo of the OS (under development as they mentioned).The User Interface (UI) and the look of the software is same as that of the windows 8 as already mentioned. but this one has the return of the START button from the earlier version of the windows, which provides search space and even can resize the Start menu as required.

The next most important feature is that we can use almost 4 windows in the same screen. Earlier in the windows 8 & 7 we can keep open 2 windows at a time, now its updated to 4. Lot of us may think ,why is this mentioned as a important update. According to the Microsoft, they are trying to focus on the development of the software based on all type of users so what they say is that this type of update can be used by the users who use multiple monitors on their work stations like in stock market, Graphic designers etc.    

Next one is the shortcut keys in the command prompt.This is again some update which is done to make the software more user friendly for the programmers. In the earlier version of any OS the shortcuts such as Ctrl+C for copy, Ctrl+V for paste etc cannot be used on the command prompt.

The most important development in WINDOWS 10 is the CONTINUUM.

CONTINUUM is the under development feature of windows 10, which can be used in devices that are used both as Tablet and a laptop. Now a days there is a special type of laptops which can be used both as laptop and a tablet. Due to the growing sales of these type of products the Microsoft has come up with this new idea called CONTINUUM. Continuum works in such a way that it can act and provide a comfortable User interface for both the lap and the tabs. Yes once the lap is changed into tab the UI of the OS automatically changes from lap to tab.This may sound as a silly development but this design exploration video presented by the Microsoft might change your thoughts.

Design Exploration of CONTINUUM


Since the OS is still under the development and the complete features has not yet been revealed, we cannot completely say that the OS has completely transformed when compared to its earlier versions.But at this stage , from what Microsoft has shown us the OS is not worth of called as WINDOWS 10, instead it can be renamed as WINDOWS 8.2.

I may Have some things so you can check the presentation video on the below link.

Hope more updates comes soon on the software.

My First

HI Everyone. I am Harish, I’m 21. I don’t know whether this is the correct way to start a blog. I came here to share my thoughts on everything i see and come across in my life.

I am a typical Indian. But little tall than usual Indian’s , may be not only Indians. However I am Tall and to make it clear I’m not a basketball player.This is the most usual question I get when i meet people. Why is that something that tall people always play Basketball, may be i don’t know and i still don’t get it why those people who ask that question look at me wierdly when i say ‘no'.But they never ask me whether I play Cricket, Football or Carom, Eventhough I don't play those games they never ask me that.OK lets stop talking about my height right here and move on.

So Why suddenly Blogging….? I don’t have any particular reason behind it.May be because it is the place where no one asks me WHY…?.Most of the time when i am about to say anything to my friends they actually don’t listen to it.This happens just not only with my friends but also with my family, my professors, maid, but not with my girlfriend because i don’t have one.So I’m not saying that it is their fault but I’m not ready to take it on my side either and because what I’m telling them is boring or the way I transfer it to them is not attractive.So when i start talking here no one stops me from talking or there is no need for anyone to listen to it because its boring(Except for the power cut).

Actually blogging is completely a new thing for me because i have not read any blog or i don’t have any interest in following any bloggers.Even the five blogs I’m following in my tumblr account are just the procedure of selecting 5 random blogs on creating the account.

One of the most important thing i forgot to mention was the part of india in which I belong and that beautiful place is called Tamilnadu.Yes i belong to Tamilnadu and Chennai is the place where I live.Many may not agree with me, but i call Chennai the most beautiful place i have ever been to.Chennai is one of the most well known metropolitan city in India. Ofcourse Chennai has its own dark nature but still its the place where i get everything i need and there is no better place like Home.

So I think this might well enough for my first time blogging. And there is another thing that I must Say about myself is that I’m not still so good in English.
