Eid Al Fitr: A Blessed and Joyful Time for Muslims

In the ninth month of the lunar year, Eid- al-fitr or Ramzan eid (the "festival of breaking of the fast") comes as the great festivities of Muslims. It marks the end of the auspicious Ramadan month for all Muslims across the globe. In this holy day thousands of happy and pious Muslims dressed in new clothes celebrate it with great enthusiasm, grandeur and devotion. They involve in various pious and charitable activities. With their families and friends, Muslim people go for a feast to conclude their thirty days of fasting from dawn-to-dusk. As the month is closely associated with the month of Ramadan, the festival is also called by another name “Ramadan”. Moreover, the festival has its different names like the Sugar Feast, the Sweet Festival, Feast of Breaking the Fast and the Lesser Eid.

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar when Muslims around the world abstain from drinking, eating and sexual relations from dawn to dusk. The sole purpose of the Ramzan is the external manifestation of their spiritual acts. It is an endeavor for gaining control over seven deadly sins. The Ramadan fasting time, throughout a month, helps them cleanse their hearts, minds, tongues and the limbs. Indulging in vain talk, gossip, and back-biting is strictly prohibited during this time. Alongside, touching no Forbidden things or looking not at them is strictly maintained. 

Celebration of  Ed

Ideally this celebration lasts for three days. On this blessed day Muslim people wake up early in the morning to break their fast. Then the ceremony starts with the worship in a large open area where thousands of Muslims get together for their holy prayer. After that a short sermon is delivered among them. They greet each other and distribute eid special sweets and some specialized sweetmeats among them. Immediately after this celebration, they celebrate a private ceremony to sacrifice goats or lambs or cows and distribute meats among poor classes.
Though there are no hard-and-fast symbols for Ramadan celebration, but some Muslim countries driven by festive moods include various Ramadan decorations for welcoming Eid. They light up the streets and decorate public squares with dazzling lights to add more grandeur to it.

Idea Phobia

Are you an Idea subscriber? I mean are you using idea cellular service? Are you a victim of Idea’s anti-customer-centric polices and services. If yes, you are at your right destination. Now go through the article to know well how Idea can deceive and make money from you. Why most of the Idea subscribers are switching from Idea to other net work providers?  How can one Idea hell your life?
As reports have come from different sources and from my survey and sampling that the transformation rate of Idea through MNP is greater than any other network providers in India. This is every inch a true and highly applicable for Kolkata.  I am ready to accept the challenge if anyone can prove it false. The people of Kolkata being most sincere and highly educated, in spite of the relentless effort of marketing people in Idea, their dream of getting a strong customer base in Kolkata has been shattered into pieces. Almost all citizens in Kolkata who have ever used its vile quality cell phone service either have thrown their Idea SIMs or transformed from it to the other network providers through MNP or Mobile Number Portability. You need not believe in my words, just go to the marketplace and ask mobile shopkeepers for an Idea SIM or Idea recharge, and let me know  how many of them have been able to pride you with the same: probably one in a hundred or less than that.
Now why this intense dissatisfaction and mass rejection of Idea!  
Have your quick glance at the points mentioned below.  

MNP Problem
If you want to switch from any cellular phone company or another network, it will allow you to do easily except Idea. To be more precise if you want to switch from Idea to another network provider, it will not allow you now. Why? The only reason is that they already have the information from TRAI, different media, news sources and more significantly thorough various survey and sampling that they have achieved the highest transformation rate from their cellular service to the other service provider.  Now let me take one real example to prove how they bar you when you try for a transformation. An endeavor was made by an Idea subscriber (Mobile No: 7890686946) to transform from Idea to Tata Docomo but within few days after application in spite of having validity, SIM card registration got failed. 

Money Deduction Problem
I have scarcely come across an Idea subscriber who never faced money deduction problem with Idea. They will suddenly activate any of their expensive services to your number in order to steal a fair amount of money from your account without your knowledge. If you do not notice, then it is very good, they will do it for the second time. If you ask them the reason of deduction, Idea people will definitely tell you have activated this service by yourself. They will tell, unless you activate this how such thing can happen to you. But be sure, it is not your fault. One day around 55 rupees was deducted from my account. Besides, time to time I get a small or medium amount of money deduction in my idea number.  

Sudden disconnection problem  
It is very usual, while you talk to others using idea network, you get sudden disconnection during your conversation. Besides, having poor networking connectivity, you need to dial several times from your idea mobile number to communicate your desired person or persons. But most remarkably, the Idea is as expensive as the other renowned network connection providers in consideration to call charges. But the difference is that unlike them, Idea is more expensive as you got sudden disconnection and network connectivity problem in the midway. 

Besides, Idea is known for its worst quality internet service. 

There is great chance of idea leaving this domain like Uninor within next few years. So be prepared for this.  Be very careful while you are going to have an Idea SIM. 

If you face any problem in Idea, don’t forget to share your experience with me, it will help me in my survey work.

Description: 
Website design is not an art, as a web designer has no liberty to express the way he thinks; rather he has to meet the goal of building a website and the demands of the website owner and its target customers.

Is Website Design an Art?

There is a sharp controversy among the artists, designers and experts: Is Good website design an art? To know it well, we should understand the difference between art and design? What are the characteristics that separate one from the other? Though, both the artists and designers create visual compositions, using best of their knowledge, experience and expertise, but the purpose of their doing so is absolutely different.   

Now let me discuss on these points:

1.     Good art inspires and evokes emotion. Good design motivates.

A good artist starts painting on a blank canvas and keeps doing so until he can draw a complete picture of his feeling and thinking, taking the elements that he thinks would definitely help him sharing his feeling with the audiences in the most effective ways. An artist’s intention is to build a strong emotional bond between him and his audience.

On the contrary, a designer’s liberty is restricted by pre-assigned message, idea, action, and the purpose of making the design. He has a fixed point to start and end it.  A designer’s job is to discover something with the elements that already exist and serve specific purposes. His purpose is to motivate the audience to let them feel a desire for doing something like buying a product or using a service.

2.     Good Art is interpreted. Good design is understood.

Art being a creation has no limitation. It cannot be circumscribed by any, definition, explanation and interpretation. Therefore people with different opinions, cultures, tastes, and levels of education explain an art-work in different ways and viewpoints.

Say for example, the great art-work Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci has been interpreted in many ways by the Romantics, Scientists and Skeptics. Scientists say that Mona Lisa’s smiling is nothing but an illusion created by peripheral vision. Romantics say Mona Lisa is in love. Skeptics say nothing happens.

In contrast, the purpose of designing is to convey a message and motivate audience to do something. So a designer’s sole purpose is to make people understand a message: what is the usefulness of his products or services.

3.     Good Art Is a Taste. Good Design Is an Opinion.

Art is a taste that results in various opinions. Say for example, a piece of art seems to one good or bad depending upon his taste, liking and disliking. If he is a champion of modern art, a piece of traditional art will seem to him age old and obsolete.

Design, too, depends upon taste. But the difference is that a design is considered successful and good only when it can fulfill its purpose of motivating people for doing something.

4.     Good Art Is a Talent. Good Design Is a Skill.

Art is a talent. It is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings and expressed through drawings, paintings, sculpting by an artist. It is a natural ability and inborn-quality. It requires skill as well as talent. It cannot be taught.

But design is a skill that can be taught. It can be improved and developed by hard practice.

Therefore, from the above discussion, we can easily come to the conclusion that design is not an art.

Web design being a significant part of design, it is not an art. An artist has the liberty to express the way he thinks. It may be a personal interpretation and subjective reaction of him. On the other hand, a designer has to reflect the way other people think. It is the objective-reflection of how his target people and his client will take. He is to fulfill the goal of building a website.

Google Panda Update: A Critical Study


Google Panda, also known as Google Farmer, is basically a program that learns from user surveys and human preferences. The credit of it goes to Navneet Panda, a Google engineer and an expert at Machine Learning from India.
This update, introduced on February 24, 2011 by Google, is named as Panda Update after the name of Navneet Panda. It works on predictive choices of the users.

Google panda involves a Machine Language Algorithm (MLA) update that uses artificial intelligence in a more sophisticated and scalable way than the before. Like human quality tester it measures and scrutinizes quality of the content, judges its originality, uniqueness and relevancy.  It inspects elements like quality links, designs, graphics and other paraphernalia. It looks at the words that appear on WebPages, how users are linking to these pages, and more on the reputation of websites.  It plays such an important role in Google search engine ranking that many experts belong to SEO field prefer to say “Google Panda is more a ranking factor than algorithm update”.

How does Panda Update work?
It acts as a quality filter on search results, using survey data to determine desirable and undesirable site characteristics. It does mean more organic traffics and good search results that help a site get better ranks in Google.
Good copy sells and popularity get huge incentive on Google.
It does guarantee on “high quality content” that is interesting, enjoyable, pleasing, adequate data and statistics enriched.

Panda works based on the followings:
Search impressions
Click Through Rates (CTR)
Browse rate (action on your site) and bounce rate
Time on site
Repeat search and visit
Onsite search queries
Navigation paths

Google Panda & Content
Keyword density of the top 3 results should not be more than 0.5%.
The content volume of a top 3 search result should be over 2400 words (3C)
Insertion of keyword in the title is more reliable factor than putting it on the URL.
Using keyword is more important factor than perfect match domains or exact keyword in the meta description
Regardless of length all pages should be well written
As use of attractive images and their proper placement stimulate imagination, it helps in getting more traffic and their staying on your page longer.
Your use of videos can assist time on site
Use content that is interesting, engaging, pleasing, enjoying, and adequate.
Good, fresh and relevant content is subject to get very good incentives on behalf of Google.
Very good popularity and copy sells earn its own links automatically.

Some Important Tips for Content, Keeping Pace with Panda:
Do research on keywords and select most relevant that people may use to find your content.
Use keyword at the title of your content.
Your links must be from trusted, reputed and quality websites.
Do links with the words of your WebPages that you think people may find for.
Keep visitor attracted and arrested to your website to keep your site away from bounce
All pages should be fresh and on hot topics.
Make many links point at your webpage
Share your content with many reputed social networking sites.
Add history
It should be loaded quickly to lower bounce rate.
Ensure factors so that search engine easily “crawl” pages on site.
Keyword density of the top 3 results must not be more than 0.5%
The average content length of a top 3 search result should be over 2400 words (3C).
Include images to stimulate imagination and place them in a proper way to increase readability. 
Significant panda updates:
1.0 - February 24, 2011 (Monday)
2.0 - April 11, 2011 (Monday)
2.1 - May 10, 2011 (Tuesday)
2.2 - June 16, 2011 (Thursday)
2.3 - July 23, 2011 (Saturday
Besides another important panda update in March 2012, states “over-optimization penalty" that does mean if you do more works (low quality) it will be penalized by Google.

Effects of Google Panda:
With the panda update, Google has improved their ability to detect scraper sites and banish them from the SERPs. This update has brought almost 12% changes in the search results.  As the consequence of panda update by Google, a rise in the rankings of social networking sites and news sites has been found. 

Consequences of Google Panda:
Lower the rank of "low-quality sites" or "thin sites"
Thin or duplicate content is treated as a low ROI tactic
It penalizes or permanently bans spammy and copied content
Time lapse updates make testing almost impossible
Link building is not a way to overcome a quality penalty
SEOs need to acquire deeper skill sets

If you are a webmaster or an SEO expert, you must know Google Panda as “Google Panda" is more a ranking factor than algorithm update”. Be out of your old SEO methods and accept Panda for better ranking.
