While Airtel's decision to charge more for these services was not as per net neutrality, it is not illegal as there are no norms in the nation for the same. Net neutrality is the standard that internet administration suppliers ought to treat all data on the internet similarly, and not segregate or charge diversely by client, substance, webpage, stage, or application.

Ugly Movie review : Gripping tale of Ugly world of Ugly minds

Film: Ugly (2014)

 
Casting: Rahul Bhat, Ronit Roy, Tejaswini Kolhapure, Vineet Singh, Girish Kulkarni, Surveen Chawla, Sidhant Kapoor

Director: Anurag Kashyap

People are selfish with crooked minds. Getting cornered in life them makes edgy. This franticness slaughters everything that is good, human and guiltless. What's more finish absence of these qualities make the world ugly.

Anurag Kashyap's "Ugly" will abandon you in stun about how people are getting such a great amount of individualistic in the wrong significance of the statement. It will leave a severe lingering flavor which you will make a decent attempt to eradicate. On the off chance that world is similar to this, it better not exist. The more you think about the film, its characters and the amusements they play, you simply can't yet feel "Yukkk"! Without express visual bloodiness or offensiveness, the regurgitation inciting plans of these ugly minds will send chills down your spine. What's more that advocates the title of the movie totally.

Written and Directed by Anurag Kashyap, "Ugly" is an Anurag Kashyap Movie from begin till end. It is dim, discouraging, complex, yet holding, charming film which will keep you snared with it. Story of the movie uncovers around the capturing of a young lady and how the nearby people in her life demonstration and respond in that circumstance. There is a complete absence of adoration, empathy or blamelessness inside the characters, a large portion of whom are attempting to run path from one another or their current circumstance. The sheer grotesqueness of these absence of emotions is depicted shrewdly in the composition. The peak will abandon you touched and paralyzed.

As a Director, Anurag takes the movie up different levels. From the first casing and scene itself he sucks the audience in his portrayal. Note the ambient sounds in the first scene. Since that first scene, utilizing his specialty and abilities Anurag controls the audience emotions, snatches them by neck and drags them to face starkness of the truth. Like the characters, we likewise attempt to tackle the riddle behind the grabbing alongside them. Still Kashyap is fruitful in shocking us at the layer by layer disclosure of the story. This is to be sure his one of the best work.

Kashyap is so honest in his depiction of narcissistic carrying on of his characters that he very nearly feels like brutal. He alongside his proofreader Aarati Bajaj is to the point and trust on audience sagacity. They maintain a strategic distance from any sort of spoon feeding and that makes the film noteworthy. In any case again there is such a variety of things event while at commonly it gets to be excessively complex for even the most mindful audience. Lessening few tracks or characters could have made a difference. Likewise even they can guarantee the movie to be "open ended" yet it has few remaining details. Shutting those might not be considered as spoon feeding.

There can be numerous questions about the story which are unanswered and can be effectively left under the affectation that "Let the audience think themselves" however those by and by turn me off and unsettle me till I know the definite story. Numerous say it is the accomplishment of the film to launch a dialog about what precisely was the plot, however for me it is one of the negative focuses.

Mukesh Chhabra made an exceptional showing in casting of the film. There are just few known performing artists in the movie however everybody does impeccable equity to their roles. Each one character is as complex and testing as others and all the performing artists get equivalent opportunity to demonstrate their forces. Ronit Roy (as Shoumik Bose) flawlessly plays the critical Police officer who is brutal and is under steady weight because of his own decisions in life and effects of it. Despite the fact that we have seen him in such roles different times (Udaan, Boss, and so on). Tejaswini Kolhapure, as the disheartened wife of Shoumik with self-destructive propensities, inspires with her underplay. In the part of her ex, Rahul Varshney/Kapoor, Rahul Bhat awes with his acting. His body change in youth and after that in adult years demonstrates the endeavors he took for the part.

Famous Marathi Actor Girish Kulkarni (Dewool, Masala, Pune 52 distinction) makes a big appearance in Bollywood and depicts the part of normal Police Inspector who tries to make his regular work at the cost of making fun of the complainant and exploited people. He demonstrates the varieties in his part from a laid-back monitor to the genuine colleague to disappointed and irate cross examiner consummately. He is unquestionably going to get recognized by other Bollywood movie producers.

Vineet Singh and Surveen Chawala are amazing in their roles. Surveen gives the hotness remainder in the movie and her scene with her hefty maker spouse will be purpose of talk.

Production Design is Mayur Sharma is in synch with the movie's mind-set. Cinematographer Nikos Andritsakis is fruitful in keeping the reasonable tone of the movie.

In general, the movie is holding, interesting and is effective in unsettling the audience and great point for start discussion and pass time with your gang.

Mapmyindia managing director Rakesh Verma told ET that the organization has installed tracking systems and GPS in around 10,000 taxis working under these companies in the course of the most recent two weeks, including that request is quick surpassing supply. Taxiforsure has additionally installed a frenzy catch inside its autos.

Airtel Introduces VoIP Data Packs for Prepaid Customers; Postpaid Plans Coming Soon

Bharti Airtel formerly announced that it would begin charging for Voip (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls and today, through a PR, they've uncovered why they are charging independently for the Voip data. They likewise presented their first Voip data pack which is evaluated at  ₹75.

Airtel Voip Data Pack Details

Airtel just presented one Voip calling pack today which will cost ₹75 to the subscribers with 75mb of packaged data which is said to give 200-250 minutes of calling. The legitimacy of this pack will be 28 days. Airtel is supposed to present more Voip packs later and we'll keep this post upgraded when that happens.

The changes aren't material promptly and the prepaid subscribers who as of now have a data pack (subscribed before 25th December) will have the capacity to utilize it as a part of whatever way they need. Appropriate said, Voip calling could be possible utilizing the same, however when it expires, the new data pack memberships wo exclude Voip.

Why Charge Separately for Voip?

Airtel settled on the choice to charge for Voip on the grounds that it is harming their business. As per Airtel, they invested over Rs. 140,000 crores in taking off telecommunications services amid the previous 20 years. Adding to that, they have additionally paid over s. 50,000 crores as far as govt. requires in only 5 years. Consequently, Airtel has invested a great deal and online services are not letting in an enduring ROI for them.

In short, firstly Messaging services like Whatsapp and Wechat affected their revenue from carrier based text messaging (SMS). Presently, as Voip gets all the more promptly accessible, it is supposed to influence administrator's revenues from voice calling. A data pack which was awhile ago used to browse the internet is currently being utilized to do everything else from which carriers earn. Along these lines, such a move is important for long haul sustenance of the carrier's business.

I accept different carriers will be emulating Airtel to take a comparable choice. Everybody out there has invested a considerable measure in making their services accessible and they merit getting a consistent profit for their speculation. This is likewise important to keep the data activity in control while carriers update their ability.

What is Government stand over VoIP?

It is suprizing that Airtel, the biggest telecom administrator in India as far as subscribers, has proceeded with this move regardless of all the debates raised on the issue after it initially reported its plans, which even prompted the Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad to say the government will research the issue.

"We will investigate it. Government will return with organized reaction," Prasad had said on the sidelines of 'Good Governance Day' occasion on Thursday composed by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

You can read the whole proclamation from Airtel underneath, which depicts the explanations behind revealing the controversial new Voip data pack that brings up the issue without bounds of internet fairness in India. Quickly, Airtel trusts its ventures to take off voice and data services in India won't see sufficient returns if Voip services keep on proliferaing - to mitigate the issue, it is charging for these services over or more standard data.

A little less than half the sky

The roads were deserted, the sky was dark and the only thing that engulfed the whole atmosphere was silence. I am not talking about suburbs but about the capital city, New Delhi after midnight.A few days ago I had to go for a friend's marriage from Pitampura to Dwarka. Living alone in Delhi for the past 6 years or so I have never been able to (read dared to) venture out alone after 9p.m..

Which means I have missed a lot of weddings, dinners, parties and umpteen other important occasions and made a lot of excuses to cover up the same. So while sometimes my roommate fell ill at other times I had to slip from the stairs.

But after my stay in Odisha for a year, I feel a little liberated. But this liberation and freedom is also a little scary sometimes. This time when I received the invitation, I decided that neither my roomie is going to fall ill nor am I going to break my leg, I am simply going to enjoy my friend's wedding. Well what about the things like 'Carpe Diem' and 'Equality' and 'Friendship and love'.

 So there I was. I attended the wedding and it was an achievement. And why not? For a Delhi girl in the 21^st Century it is an achievement to be out that late. But as the clock struck 10, I started to freak out because I realised that however modern I can pose to be my opposite sex has somehow failed to control their libido. The next one hour was spent in finding cabs and hearing lectures about my foolishness from a friend (all out of care though). Yes I am not the 'plan everything in advance' types, but I am also not 'flow with the current types'.

I wondered if I was really wrong in choosing to come out for this adventure (which for most might not be an adventure at all). And then the recent case of a girl getting raped by a Uber cab driver have given me all the answers. Unfortunately, I don't like these answers but I have to accept them.

I boarded the last metro on the Airport Express Line from Dwarka Sec 21 to New Delhi with a male friend of mine. The friend who was doubting my sanity agreed to pick me up from New Delhi Railway Station and then I saw the Delhi I had never seen. Delhi at midnight is beautiful to say the least (at least from inside the car windows and with guy friends you can trust). Even the dingy hotels of Karol Bagh and Paharganj seem like perfectly placed.

When I looked out of the metro glass I wondered in the past six years had I not missed enjoying one of the most beautiful sights. I mean look at the sky and the surroundings at Dwarka Sector 21 metro station at 11:00 p.m. and you will understand what I mean. My friend who accompanied me in the metro could not stop praising the sanctity of the place on a full moon night.

So as I my friend picked me up from New Delhi with his brother, I hopped inside the car like a child who travels by a train for the first time and gets glued to the window excited about the fact that the trees, the mountains and the houses are moving backward.

I took the backseat and gazed at the same trees, same roads and same houses and shops which I have seen not less than a thousand times in awe and admiration. Look at the Indian Tricolour fluttering at Cannaught Place at midnight, the saffron, the white and the green mixing in each other as well the dark and you can't escape jitters of patriotism. But at the very same instant, I regretted for the not being free enough to witness my own tricolour whenever I want to.

As our car raced towards Pitampura, I wished for the night to never get over. But at the same time, I wished if my city could be a little more safer and could accept me in entirety. I have not traveled much but I just wonder if it is a case in other parts of the world as well. If all over the world females are dependent on a male friend or relative to help her take simple decisions like going out for a friend's wedding. Have we made our homes so unsafe that we doubt everyone.

Delhi is more than my hometown to me. She has taught me how to be independent, she has taught me to celebrate small victories and she has taught me to forget big failures. She has made me witness life closely, she has given me the courage to live out of my comfort zone, she has in a way brought me closer to myself. I refer to Delhi as 'she' because she is both beautiful and desirable but it really hurts to realise that the way I have accepted her, she has not accepted me. She has given me everything from acceptance to friends to love, except the freedom to enjoy my freedom. To cover my head, she has given me (read the female gender) only a little less than what I (read all of us) deserved – half the sky, a little less than half the sky.

Google to phase out CAPTCHA codes with single click feature

In the event that you've needed an account recently, you've probably seen it: a quick test that provides for you a couple of mutilated words and requests that you write them back in plaintext. The official name is CAPTCHA, a test designed to weed out the robotized scripts utilized for spam, yet its been broken for quite a while. Google recently flaunted a framework that could crack it 99.8 percent of the time, and most spammers are happy to run their scripts knowing only one in ten will sneak past. At the same time despite the fact that everybody knows CAPTCHA is broken, there hasn't been a clear idea of what may replace it.

Early today, Google is divulging the best answer yet. It's called No-CAPTCHA (reCAPTCHA), another methodology based on another API, and its as of now been adopted by Snapchat, Wordpress and Humble Bundle, in addition to different partners. As opposed to asking users to pass a test, Google's new framework prescreens each client's conduct and filters out any individual who's effectively identifiable as human. Most users will just see a check mark — click the box and you've passed the test — while anybody marked as suspicious will be given a more elaborate test. 

Sometimes, that test will be the same old text-recognition problem — yet sometimes it will be something new. Google is exploring different avenues regarding more mobile-friendly forms of CAPTCHA, in the same way as a test that would demonstrate to you a picture of a feline and requested that you choose comparative photos from a grid. (Information gathered thusly would likewise be utilized to enhance Google's Image Search, proceeding with the practice from previous tests.) As the project advances, we'll see significantly more versions of the test, based on top of the new, more flexible API.

Google engineers said the prescreening would take a gander at factors like IP addresses and time used on page, yet were cagey about precisely what information would be utilized, refering to concerns that spammers would control calculations accordingly. The prescreening additionally fluctuates broadly from site to site: a little more than 80 percent of Humble Bundle guests were cleared in advance, however for Wordpress everywhere, that number dropped to 60 percent. It relies on upon the guests, additionally on the site's general plan and how clear a flag its sending along to Google.

The old API will stay dynamic, and numerous sites may decline to upgrade, however the general effect will be a ton less translating text for the normal web client - and assuredly less spam. It's likewise an intriguing tackle the present day web, where boundless checking has made passive behavioral distinguishing proof more effective than dynamic testing. Nowadays, the most effortless approach to advise a client is human isn't to make inquiries, yet to perceive how they act.
