'Caution on Free Basics' - Do take a look....K.J.S.Chatrath

Hello Mr. Mark Zuckerberg.
Yes Sir. We do understand that 'free' does not mean free!

"Free is a business model, that delivers returns in an unconventional way", says The Hindu.

Tribute to the passing year by Gulzar:

My dear friend Lalit Joshi has shared this tribute to the past year by Gulzar. Thank you Lalit....Regards:

......................................................................................................................

Tribute to the passing year by Gulzar:

आहिस्ता चल ज़िन्दगी, अभी कई क़र्ज़ चुकाना बाकी है. 

कुछ दर्द मिटाना बाकी है, कुछ फ़र्ज़ निभाना बाकी है.

रफ़्तार में तेरे चलने से कुछ रूठ गए, कुछ छूट गए.

रूठों को मनाना बाकी है, रोतों को हसाना बाकी है. 

कुछ हसरतें अभी अधूरी हैं, कुछ काम भी अभी ज़रूरी हैं. 

ख्वाहिशें जो घुट गयीं इस दिल में, उनको दफ़नाना बाकी है. 

कुछ रिश्ते बन कर टूट गए, कुछ जुड़ते जुड़ते छूट गए. 

उन टूटे छूटे रिश्तों के ज़ख्मों को मिटाना बाकी है. 

तू आगे चल मैं आता हूँ, क्या छोड़ तुझे भी पाउँगा?

इन साँसों पर हक़ है जिनका, उनको समझाना बाकी है.

आहिस्ता चल ज़िन्दगी, अभी कई क़र्ज़ चुकाना बाकी है.... 

'Facebook & India' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

Facebook gives the following information on 'trending' this, the first day of the year 2016:

"Dwayne Johnson: Actor Shares Photo of Himself During Workout 

Justin Bieber: Singer Shares Photos of His Siblings and Hailey Baldwin While on Vacation"

• May I say Mr. Mark Zuckerberg, that not many in India, a country you profess to care for, are tickled by Dwayne Johnson's workouts or photo of Justin Bieber's sibling. 
• Get real Sir!
