Handy WhatsApp Tricks You Should Know

1. Save data.

Whats app uses up a lot of data with the amount of content -- images and videos -- downloaded through it. You can turn off the auto downloading of media easily to save data. Under settings, there is a data usage menu which lets you customize the downloading when you are using up mobile data, WiFi or when you're 'roaming' out of your home network. You can also tick the option of 'Low Data Usage' under call settings of the same menu to save data during Whats App calls

2. Privacy

There are times when you may not want someone to see when you were online last. The privacy menu gives you many options. You can turn of the 'last seen' option for everyone or just the people who are in your contacts list. You can also turn off the blue tick which tells the sender that you have seen and read a message they sent to you. But that would also mean that you can't see blue ticks for messages that you send.

3. Bold, Italics, and strike-through text

Recently WhatsApp introduced text formatting in messages. You can make the text bold by inserting text between '*asterisks*'. Or, use' _underscore_ 'for italics and '~tilde~' for the strike-through text.

4. Send documents

WhatsApp can now act as your business companion as well. No need to use email or any other services as you can send a document from the messenger service itself. Click on the upper right attachment icon and you will find the 'Documents' option. You can use this to send any document stored in your mobile. You can send practically any type of document including those in the PDF, Word, Excel or Presentation format.

5. See media, links and documents sent to a contact.

While chatting you might need to refer to an image or a document you sent or a link you posted to a group or a contact. You don't need to scroll up and down to find it. You can click on the menu in the top right corner and see the option called media (in groups it will be named as group media). Under that, you will find media, documents and links you have exchanged with the contact or the group.

6. Archive chats

If you are not backing up your data daily there is a chance that you might lose your old chat records. So WhatsApp gives you the option of archiving a chat. Under the chat tab, you can long-press on any chat and, click on the archive chat icon above, to save it. You can select multiple chats as well to archive them.

7. Backups

When you switch to a new phone or you wipe out all data from your current phone, all WhatsApp chats also get deleted. To avoid this you can use the backup facility. To set up the backing-up process, go to settings > Chats > Chat backup. Here you can see when was the last time you used backup, its integration with Google drive, backup schedule and more. You can also define when you want your chat backup to be performed and whether you want to include videos or not.

8. Message favorites

You click on a message in a chat session and press star on the menu above the chat and make that message a 'favourite'. You can then refer to it under starred messages in the main menu.

9. WhatsApp on Desktop

You can actually use WhatsApp in multiple ways on your desktop computer. WhatsApp has a web version where you can just scan the QR code from the app and you're good to go. You can also use the apps released by the company on Mac and Windows.

10. Hide notifications

In iOS you can go to Settings>Notifications and toggle off the 'Show preview' button that will stop the previews which pop-up on the screen. On Android, you have more options. You can go to the notifications menu where you can define the notification pop-ups and tone according to your needs for the groups and the individual contacts.

Trick behind why corrupt politicians tend to win more likely over an honest one !

Ever wondered why the politicians who are not preferred and are corrupt are more likely to be win an election ?

Lets read it now .

So the trick lies in understanding how the system works .
First of all , any kind of politician whether an honest one , who thinks in favour of the people or a corrupt one who is more interested in filling his pockets from the money of people or public money , it would take both long time as making any change in the system is not an easy task its a lengthy time consuming process . So for a long time a common man or rather a poor man gets nothing in return after giving his precious vote to anyone , one has to understand this fact and there is no by pass to making quick change in the system , it takes time to bring a change that is permanent .

So a corrupt one understands the same and promises to make changes quicker and earlier to lure people and attract more affected people towards him seeking relief or change and also uses some of his smart way's to get votes or rather purchase votes .

Lets take an example there are 100 educated people and nearly 200 uneducated , jobless and homeless people , now out of the 100 educated one's most of the people would be busy in their schedules and would not pay much attention to polling their vote and would pay more attention to discussions .

Whereas the number of people who are in need of jobs , shelter or food is double plus more number of people out of this 200 people would be interested to vote .

Reason is very simple the politician understands the "chain of politics" . So if a person who is hardly able to make 3 meals a day would obviously prefer instant benefits provided by the candidate who has stood up for election , benefits could be like for person working for food  would be provided with money or food to sustain for a week or so .
A businessman would be provided would favorable trade policies and contracts  .
The jobless would be promised jobs.
The one with a job provided with increments .

So lured by the instant benefits and all type of people turn into a compromise of selecting this candidate more over the one who would make changes but would have to struggle long before he fullfills his promise .

So the clever candidate wins and the chain of corruption continues , this candidate exploits public resources and money , scandals and scams come up in his name and then he leaves and again comes the elections and chain continues .

So if we really want a politician who should bring change we should choose an educated candidate over an uneducated and dominant candidate .


Rather than discussions everyone should poll their votes , one can always take the instant benefits and still vote the person they find adequate enough !

10 Reasons why you should go for a Used vehicle than going in for a New one !

Lets explain this by taking an example of a SUV which costs 20 lakh ₹ or 33 thousand $ and same vehicles price after 6 months 

1.  As soon as a new car goes out of the showroom its value depreciates by 8% approx - (i.e in case of our suv we mentioned for reference the value drops by 1.6 lakh ₹ or 2666 $)
2. The insurance cost of a new car cost around 3.8 % which you dont have to shell out from your pocket as the previous would have already paid for it .(i.e in our case we save another 80 thousand ₹ or 1333 $ )
3. Registration cost of vehicle is another 10 % ( i.e another 2 lakh ₹ or 3333 $ )
4. Any new vehicle comes with a 2yr or 3 yr warranty which means you still enjoy and can drive the vehicle stress free without worrying for a break down for another 2.5 or 1.5 yrs which is sufficient time for a fault to come up if previous owner had mishandled the vehicle
5. Some owners buy fancy registration numbers which can come around 50 thousand ₹ or 800 $ .
6. Whereas you need to pay the amount by your bank account , you can purchase a pre owned vehicle by paying in cash as well !
7. While buying a new car you need to furnish your tax account details , which can be skipped in case of a pre owned vehicle .
8. You are just lucky enough the previous owner could have bought a maintenance package , which would be win win situation 
9. Same pride , comfort , convenience and ownership of the same vehicle as that of a person who bought a new vehicle !
10.  And in nut shell if you add all the benefits ,On the price of a new vehicle costing  20 lakh ₹  or  33 thousand $ you save 24.5 % which is " 4 lakh 90 thousand ₹ or 8160 $ "

So new car costs 20 lakh ₹ or 33 thousand $

Same new car after six months is available for 17 lakh ₹ or 25200$ .

Are you also an iphone user ?

Are you using an apple iphone ? I am sure many of us do but how is this apple iphone harmful to our health , it all starts with the SAR Value .

What is SAR Value ?

The SAR value is a measure of the maximum amount of microwave radiation absorbed by the head or the body of a human being . Just like microwave radiations the sar radiations our iphones emit are really harmful .

The legal allowed limit of SAR value a phone can have is 1.6 but whereas the iphone has a SAR value of 1.59 which is very close to the 1.6 value after which the human body starts getting affected by the value in negative ways !

Negative effects of SAR !

• Can affect brain cells 
• Can affect the heart beat or heart rate of a person 
• Can affect sperm count in male humans
• Risk of cancer is increased

How to save yourself from it .

• Use headphones wired one (not bluetooth ones) for long calls or for frequent use
• Turn off the not required transmitters on your phone like bluetooth , location services and wifi
• Do not keep your cellphone under pillow while sleeping (Most of us do it )
• Refrain from use of bluetooth headsets as bluetooth is one more Radio frequency 
• Do not keep your phone in chest pocket of shirts can damage heart and can cause irregular heart beats , heart stroke and even heart attacks
• Avoid keeping your cellphone near your body keep it at a table while sleeping
• Keeping phone in jeans pocket can affect your reproductive organs as well .

Fragrance –Your Invisible Asset

Fragrance –Your Invisible Asset 

GOOD  Scent can’t be explained ,it simply has to be experienced .And no one relates that experience better than the man who says :”You smell so good”.                                                                                              How scent is worn is about as complex as flowers, grasses, fixatives  ,roots  and oils that the perfumer puts into making it.                                                                                                                                                             First, choose your scent .Don’t be misled to think that one fragrance is going to turn you, the wearer, into a totally sophisticated ,sporty ,or sexy lady –IT’S NOT. You must discover something that helps you express your OWN SELF. To choose a PERFUME properly you should go to a beauty counter, take a bottle of concentrate and place a drop on the inside of each wrist.  

                                                                        BUT don’t smell it then .wait .Half an hour later smell it .Your body chemistry will spark off certain of the element in the scent ,highlighting some of the ingredients ,playing down others .That one perfume ,put on four different women  will smell differently on each.                                                                                                    So, an important lesson is : Don’t buy a perfume because it smells nice on a friend .It’s probably going to smell differently on you .Today’s movement is towards light, evergreen fragrances ,but there are many more to try ,like the rich heady perfumes for a mature woman of character.

After all the research done on the scents there are 3 main categories that I would love to share and make you aware of. First is the Floral group, it has its derivation in blossoms and is usually a blend of several Harmonious flowers. Some of the best floral perfumes are Gucci Rush by Gucci, Light blue by D & G, Romance by Ralph Lauren, Beautiful and Pleasures by Estee Lauder and so on.

Second Category is the Oriental Group , these scents are full bodied with heavy tones of musk amber and wood. Some of the best oriental perfumes are Romance by Ralph Lauren, Euphoria by Calvin Klein for Women ,Glow by Jennifer Lopez.

Third Category is the Modern Group, these scents tend to be light and floral ,citrus or fruity and best to be used to day time. Some of the best modern perfumes are Davidoff Coolwaters  ,CK by CK,White diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor.                                                                                      

When you choose a scent make sure someone else helped with the final verdict, there are lots of ways to go about buying it. You might like a tiny bottle of the concentrate .All you do is dab this scent on the warm pulse pints of the body like wrists and behind ears .Always keep the scent away from heat and sunlight. Don’t expect scents to last longer than 4 hours so always carry scent in your bag to use during the day. Scent is like your personal message and make sure you leave a beautiful and memorable one.
