Bawana Depot is the most stupid Depot in Delhi

By
Hi friends,           :Its real confession from heart: Today i wanna talk about a DTC bus depot-Bawana Depot.This place is totally ridiculous and i am promising myself that i will try not to go that hell place.I am criticizing that place after seeing the Bawana Depot and their lazy and rude workers.I have to go there for issuing DTC bus pass after some months but those people are totally stupids,idiots,arrogant (in Hindi totally chootiya). They do not understand the problem of anybody,they only just need money,beauty. If you are a boy,they will talk to you rudely and if you forget only one little thing ,then they flatly say "NO" and send him back without understanding any thing. If you are a girl,,the seniors workers/Old men/Buddhas talk very politely and patiently but here condition is that you should be very gorgeous and beautiful.But if you are not,then same thing will happen like boys. Those people are never looked like a government workers and they ar

Why is Facebook banned in China?

By
Facebook has banned in China because Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook posted his picture on his Social Media while he was Jogging in soggy Beijing. I came to know about this when I was reading about the Facebook Business Model in Marketing Management: Indian Cases, a book contains case studies of various Businesses. One of his posts caused a ban on Facebook in China. This post showed China and it's Capital in a disparaging light. This portrayal would create a negative image of China and its environmental policies. Further, because it was a Western who was seen jogging in the Smog-filled environment, it created a complicit negative comparison between China's and the Western World's Living. Finally, Zuckerberg was seen as an Outsider with no moral authority to comment on another Sovereign nation. And this, China has further tightened their restrictions on internet freedom in terms of Rules and Regulations in China. Later, the CEO of Facebook proposed providing a localized versi

What are 20 things that are not worth it?

By
1. Chasing Girls. It might seem pleasurable during your teens and early 20s but trust me, you'll regret later. 2. Smoking. It only brings a temporary pleasure but the ill-effects will hurt you in the long run. 3. Drinking. Alcohol is known to destroy lives and families. The temporary pleasure it gives is not worth the pain it gives later on. 4. Doing Drugs. The fact that this is illegal is reason enough that one shouldn't do it. These take a toll on your body in the long run and destroys you. 5. Putting those extra hours in office. No person on their death bed has wished to have spent more time at office. Spend more time with your friends and family. 6. Being in a toxic relationship. There's no point in dragging a relationship where the other person hardly puts any effort. Save your time, efforts, dignity and walk away. 7. Worrying about things not under your control. Why worry about things that you cannot control in life? Will your worrying solve the problem? If its under
