Interpretation of New Rupee Symbol

Somebody has interpreted the Rupee symbol very well. Have a look dear readers.

I have kept this post in the Thoughtworks category instead of Humour because there is a lot to think about the interpretation of the symbol.
Even after the currency has gone global, does it have any effects on the day-2-day life of poor and middle class and for that matter rich class too?

Happy Janmashtami 2010

Wishing all readers of NKJ Live and the world an extremely prosperous Janmashtami Divas which is falling on 2nd September this year, 2010.

For our international readers, Janmashtami is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, an avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu.

Being in the Maharashtra state, we are looking forward to celebrate it as Dahi Handi to celebrate the God’s playful and mischievous side, where teams of young men form human pyramids to reach a high-hanging pot of butter and break it.

The app did not impress me at all. I did not like the format in which it posted the article on my page and moreover I would never want an app control my profile or page.
This app publishes multiple RSS/ATOM feeds on the walls of our Facebook …
