10 Typical Things Indian iPhone Users Do.!
No other gadget is a bigger status symbol for us Indians than our mobile
phones. And boy do we have a lot of mobile phones around us. However,
the one phone that soars above the rest is of course the iPhone. And the
moment you bring home an iPhone you start exhibiting certain traits
that distinguish you from the rest of the mobile phone users.
Here are 10 things that Indian iPhone users do:
Here are 10 things that Indian iPhone users do:
1. Although iPhone is the only Apple product they use, they give long lectures on how all Apple products are superior.
2. Treat other huge brands like Samsung and Nokia like they are fake Chinese brands.
3. Every time there’s a discussion on phones they parrot the line ‘If you don’t have an iPhone then you don’t have iPhone.’
4. Cover up the iPhone with such tacky looking covers that even Steve Jobs wouldn’t be able to recognize it.
5. They look down upon Android users as though they have some contractible disease.
6. They go on and on about the amazing productivity of an iPhone but in reality only use it play Candy Crush.
7. Even if the topic of conversation is ‘global warming’ or ‘terrorism’, they bring it back to how cool their iPhone is.
8. Their selfie-habit becomes even more out of control once they have an iPhone.
9.They automatically form a cosmic bond with fellow iPhone users around them.
10.
Anytime a non-iPhone user asks if they have a normal phone charger,
they respond with a condescending “Uh-hello. I have an iPhone”.

10 Things That Are Wrong With Our Generation
We’re living in an age where our idea of being social is mostly limited to our interaction online. As advanced as we are as human beings in the 21st century, there are some basic things that have taken a back seat. Here are 10 things that are wrong with our generation:
1. We spend more time ‘adding friends’ than making ever-lasting friendships.
2. We’re more interested in downloading wallpapers of beautiful places than actually taking time out to visit those places.
3. We know more about the lives of movie stars and their lives than the legacy of our nation and its freedom fighters.
4. We spend more time staring at our phone screens than gazing at the beautiful creations of nature around us.
5.We have a thousand celebrities but only a handful of heroes.
6. Ours is a generation where success and happiness equals the amount of money you have in your account and not in simply doing what your heart desires and leading a content life.
7. We embrace TV shows where ordinary people are judged and mocked publicly by washed up celebrities instead of embracing programmes that test our intelligence and make us think.
8. Big-budget Bollywood movies with flimsy scripts and obnoxious plots rule the box office while bold and adventurous cinema disappear from the theatres unnoticed.
9. Fighting for social causes in today’s world means just putting up a status update on Facebook instead of getting out there and actually making a tangible difference.
10. We use less words and more ‘emoticons’ and ‘memes’ to express ourselves.
Our generation holds lot of potential & promise. If we let go off all the things that stop us from achieving bigger things, we turn into the generation that our future generation looks up to & sets an example on.

14 Kinds Of Cousins You’ll Find In Every Indian Family
1. The Goofball Cousin
He’s the one who makes the jokes at all the family get-together and functions. He loves being the family jester and the undisputed centre of attention.
2. The Over-Achieving Cousin Sister
There’s an over-achieving sister in every family. She has at least three degrees, has probably studied abroad, written a book or two and has a high paying job while juggling a family at the same time.
3. The Playboy Elder Brother
He’s the care-free, happy go lucky womanizer all the boys in the family idolize and wish to emulate. But that’s easier said than done. Because you can’t acquire the game, you’re born with it.
4. The Responsible One
Remember Salman khan’s character from Baghban? This cousin is the real life version of the reel life “sanskaari” Alok. They’re polite, studious and impeccably mannered; and more often than not, whenever you do something stupid, you are told to “Kuch seekho ussey!”
5. The Terrible Twosome
They’re always a pair. And they’re always about the same age. Individually, they are sheep. But together, they are lions. Annoying, sarcastic, boisterous little lions who make fun of everyone in the family and get away with it because “ye toh abhi bacchey hain.”
6. The Kindergarten Squad
Little children are cute, but they can be slightly annoying at times. Now imagine a whole bunch of toddlers running around the place, laughing, crying, screaming and pooping at the drop of a hat. And they’re all related.
7. The Shy Cousin
She is shy. Like really, really shy. You’ve probably never heard a word from their mouth. And when you have, it was an indiscernible squeak. When the cousins get together, she’s the one who makes an excuse and bolts as soon as possible.
8. The Vagabond
He’s often used as a cautionary tale in the family. “Whatever you do, don’t end up like him.” But you don’t care, because he’s the most chilled out person you’ve ever met.
9. The “Foren” Cousins
They’re the ones who stay in “Emreeka” or “Kaneda” and fly down to meet you once every 5 years or so. Every time they visit, their accent becomes thicker and thicker.
10. The Cousins You Only See At A Wedding
That is literally the first time you ever see them .You wave at them, smile and then wait awkwardly for someone to introduce you to them.
11. The Doting Cousin Sister
This is especially true for guys who are single kids or only have brothers in their own family. You always have that one cousin sister who thinks the world of you. And even if she lives far from you, every time you receive her “rakhi” in the mail on Rakshabandhan, you smile from ear to ear.
12. The Artistic Cousin
He’s the cousin with whom you can’t have a conversation without feeling like you know nothing about culture and the arts.
13. The Cousin With All The Advice
You try to avoid him, but in the end, he finds you anyway. He’s usually way older than you and has a family of his own. But since he can’t lecture his wife or his toddlers, he grabs you and starts telling you everything that he has learnt in life so far.
14. The Cousin You Love To Hang Out With
Your favourite cousin. The cousin with whom you have an effortless rapport with and can to for hours.

5 Most Haunted Places on Earth: A Hair Raising Experience..
Good afternoon people..!
Usually i have noticed people enjoy talking and listening about spirits and mystery stories of ghost.
So i have tried to keep some hair raising experiences of haunted places across the world..!
Enjoy reading and don be scared.. :p
1.) Bhangarh Fort / Castle- India
Bhangarh Fort / Castle is located on the way to Alwar and Jaipur in
Rajasthan in India. As per a legend there was a black magic sorcerer who
cursed the residents of the palace that they all would die an unnatural
death and their spirits will stay there for centuries to haunt the
castle for time immemorial. This fort would really freak any living
mortal. One can seldom find a temporary household in the close
periphery of this fort. Let us reveal you one more fact about this
place. The village households found here are without roofs as there
persists a popular belief and experience that the moment a rooftop is
built on a house it collapses. This is said to be the most freaky place
in India. Believe us it is also said that anybody who has been to this
place after dusk never comes back !
2.) Highgate Cemetery, North London, England
This is just like watching a horror flick of Alfred Hitchcock in
reality. By the time dusk settles down the ultimate horror environment
starts to descend on the panorama. Highgate cemetery is one ideal place
for ghost hunters. Headless statues, creaky pathways, unmanaged grass
pavements and lest we forget the typical hooting of owls is a common
feature to be found in this place. High gate cemetery also scores the
top slot in being the haunted places in United Kingdom. Still one cannot
ignore the Gothic architecture, beautiful serene ambiance and lest we
forget the shivery silence which overrules the entire arena!
3.) Screaming Tunnel, Niagara Falls, Ontario
This one is for those brave hearts boasting hard of their fearless
spirits. This is located beneath the railway track that connects Niagara
falls to Toronto and New York. As per a legend about a century ago
there was a farm house located just near the south entrance of this
tunnel. One night the farm house caught fire and a young girl doused in
flame screaming for help running wild.Nobody knows the story how the
farm house caught fire. She ran through the tunnel if in case she could
get some help but alas she was burnt completely and collapsed. So from
that day onwards whoever tries lighting a match in the tunnel the spirit
comes out screaming and haunting the person till dead. Check out for
yourself the truth!
4.) Changi Beach, Singapore
Changi Beach in Singapore is the ultimate one. The Changi beach in
Singapore is believed of being a popular killing ground of the Chinese
soldiers by the Japanese during the second world war. Thousands of
Chinese soldiers were tortured and killed during this operation as they
were suspected by the Japanese of getting into anti Japanese activities.
This beach stands witness to the killing of innumerable innocent
chinese. Till date beach combers thronging to this place could hear the
screams and weeping of people. Often at night people could also find
deep dig pits as that needed for burials of dead bodies. The most
horrifying is that some beach combers have found headless bodies of
chinese soldiers on the beach at night.
5.) Monte Cristo, New South Wales, Australia
Monte Christo mansion is recalled by travellers as a place which
shouldn't even haunt the memories. As per people's version Mrs Crawley
the owner of this mansion locked herself up after the death of her
husband and never came out in the rest 23 years of her life except for
once. She died in there and her spirit lingers in the mansion. Passerby
could hear the shrills and weeping of a woman. People who visit the
mansion get suffocated as if some spirit is trying to press in them.
They get respite of the shackles only when they come out. Instances have
also been cited of people turning blue.

Amazing Facts of Rainy Rainfall..!
Today, when I woke up early in morning, I saw the first heavy rainfall of this year. It was just @WeSoMe. That view made my day. This feeling of monsoon is incomparable for monsoon lovers. So, presenting with you some amazing scientific facts on rain.
1. The umbrella was originally invented to protect people from the hot sun.
2. Rain drops can fall at speeds of about 22 miles an hour. To take this into-perspective, a snowflake falls at about 2-4 mph can take about 1 hour to finally reach the ground.
3.Rain starts off as ice or snow crystals at cloud level. A droplet of water will stay in Earth’s atmosphere for around 10 days.
4. Light rain is classified as being no more then 0.10 inches of rain an hour. Rainfall observations and records are made by thousands of stations throughout the world. Rainfall is measured, in terms of inches or millimeters of depth.
5. Heavy rain is classified as being more then 0.30 inches of rain an hour. If droplets are very small they are typically known as drizzle.
6. Rain is recycled water that evaporated from our worlds lakes, rivers, oceans, seas etc. Once evaporated the water will eventually fall as precipitation and a droplet of water may travel thousands of miles throughout this process.
7. Rain drops range in size from 0.02 inches to about .031 inches. About an inch of rain water is equal to about15 inches of dry snow.
8. Rain drops do not fall in a tear drop shape, they originally fall in the shape of a flat oval.
9. Rain that freezes before it hits the ground is known as frozen rain.
10.Louisiana is the wettest state in the U.S, which receive an annual rainfall of 56 inches. But on average there are over 1500 thunderstorms occurring on earth with 100 lightning strikes per second.

10 Interesting Facts About Human Behaviour..!!
1. Roughly speaking, losing something makes you twice as miserable as gaining the same thing makes you happy.
2. To increase happiness, try walking in a more relaxed way, swinging your arms slightly more and putting more of a spring in your step. Also, try making more expressive hand gestures during conversations, nod your head more when others are speaking, wear more colourful clothing, use positively charged emotional words more (especially ‘love’, ‘like’, and ‘fond’), use fewer self-references (‘me,’ ‘myself’ , and ‘I’), have a larger variation in the pitch of your voice, speak slightly faster, and have a significantly firmer handshake.
3. On average, those who eat with one other person eat about 35 per cent more than they do when they are alone; members of a group of four eat about 75 per cent more; those in groups of seven or more eat 96 per cent more.
4. Obesity is contagious; you’re more likely to be overweight if you have a lot of overweight friends.
5. If you want to increase your chances of making a good impression in a meeting, sit toward the middle of the table.
6. People develop a special fondness for other people, objects and statements if they are introduced to them while eating a meal. The effect may be attributable to the fact that good food puts people in a happy mood and can cause them to make faster, and more impulsive, decisions.
7. Long-term couples will feel more attracted to each other when they regularly engage in novel and exciting joint activities that involve working together to achieve a goal.
8. If two people live together for a long time, they start to look like each other. They grow to look alike partly because of nutrition – shared diets and eating habits – but much of the effect is simple imitation of facial expressions.
9. People who use lots of swear words tend to be more honest and trustworthy.
10. Human behaviour is very strange, they have ego of their knowledge, but they don't have knowledge of their ego.
