WhatsApp To Enter Wallet Platform?

Now everybody knows WhatsApp as a Messaging Application. It tops message app platforms not only in the country but also in the world. WhatsApp is now planning to enter the wallet platforms apart from messaging services.

With demonetisation the country is looking towards cash less transactions. The main aim of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to increase the digital payments through out the nation.

Lead by Paytm many mobile wallets has emerged in the last six months which are providing easy banking services to people. Every bank in the country started promoting their respective mobile apps for bank transactions.  Even leading mobile networks like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea are including wallet services in their apps.

To give competition to all these wallet platforms WhatsApp is planning to join the race. According to reports Whatsapp would launch UPI [Unified Payments Interface] based payments in the next six months.

The software by the government, UPI, allows transfer of money from one bank to another in which the app acts as mobile wallet. If WhatsApp seriously wants to launch the wallet services this will be a serious threat to Paytm in particular because transfer of money through this chat application is easy to use.

Gaikwad Apologizes Parliament But Not AI Official

The controversial Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad seems to drag the Air India issue not little but a bit more. On Thursday Gaikwad tried to defend himself in the Parliament session for thrashing Air India official last month.

Gaikwad told Parliament that his behavior was polite and called for a probe into the incident while apologizing. In his speech he made some statements to raise new controversies.

He said that in South Africa Mahatma Gandhi was thrown out of a train and US rejected Narendra Modi’s visa and in the same way he was not allowed to board flight. So is he comparing himself to Gandhi and Modi?

Gaikwad said he was a follower of Balasaheb Thackeray and have been taught how to fight like Chhatrapati Shivaji. Seriously? Is he fighting that way?

He explained that he did not fight for his seat but he was made to sit in economy class even though he has business class ticket. Gaikwad also said “While coming down, I wanted the complaint register to write a complaint. An officer shouted at me and said he is the ‘baap’ of AI. So I lost my cool.”

Gaikwad accused that some people tried to book some tickets in his name and he did not do anything and for the past few days no one knows his whereabouts. “I have done no wrong. How can the Delhi police book me for attempt to murder? Did I carry any weapons?” he questioned.

Basing on Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray’s advice Gaikwad apologized to the Parliament but denied to apologize AI official. But Mr.Gaikwad it is the airline official who has taken your thrashing.

Yuvi Blitz in IPL Opener

 

The vintage Yuvraj Singh is back again with blistering 62 off 27 balls as Sun Risers Hyderabad raised above the Royal Challengers Bangalore on their home ground in the opening match of Indian Premier League 10th addition.

The match between IPL 10 winners and runner up seems to have gone one way thanks to half centuries from Yuvi and Moises Henriques which helped SRH to post a total of 207 their second highest total in IPL.

Sunrisers skipper David Warner tried to give a fiery start after loosing toss and batting first. He fell early but the team put up a high score. The RCB bowlers seems to have lost their way and ran out of ways with Yuvi blazing.

The absence of Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers has hurt RCB more as the team looked in no motivation mode. Chasing a massive total of 207 Royal Challengers kept on loosing wickets at regular intervals. Even though Chris Gayle started the innings with sixes that didn’t last long.

Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan was the star with ball picking up two crucial wickets. SRH pacers Ashish Nehra and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar picked two wickets each to ensure their victory.

The form struck by Yuvi at the very beginning of the tournament has sent signals to the oppositions and the IPL 10 kick started in a grand fashion.

నేరం ఒకరు చేస్తే శిక్ష ఒకరికి పడినట్టుంది స్నాప్ డీల్ పరిస్థితి. స్నాప్ చాట్ సీఈఓ ఇవాన్ స్పీగల్ తమ యాప్ భారత్ వంటి పేద దేశాల కోసం తయారు చేసి‍ంది కాదంటూ వ్యాఖ్యలు చేశారు.చేశారని మనం నేరుగా వినకపోయినా అన్నట్టు వార్తలు బయటకి రావడంతో దేశమంతా కోపంతో రగిలిపోతోంది. ఆ యాప్ ను ఫోనుల్లోంచి తీసేయాలని చెత్త రే‍టింగ్‍లు ఇవ్వాలని ప్రచారాలు మొదలుపెట్టారు. 

ఉరుము ఉరుమి మంగలం మీద పడిందట. అలానే స్నాప్ చాట్ ను వ్యతిరేకిస్తున్న వారంతా స్నాప్ డీల్ ను పట్టుకున్నారు. ట్విట్టర్, ఫేస్‍బుక్ వంటి సామాజిక మాధ్యమాల్లో స్నాప్ డీల్‍కు వ్యతిరేకంగా ప్రచారం చేస్తున్నారు. స్నాప్ డీల్ యాప్ ను డిలీట్ చేస్తూ దానికి చెత్త రేటింగ్ ఇస్తున్నారు. ఒక రోజంతా ఇదే కొనసాగ‍డంతో పాపం స్నాప్ డీల్ తన రేటింగ్ ను దిగజార్చుకోవాల్సి వచ్చింది.

ఇదొకటే అనుకుంటే ఈ వివాదం పూర్తవ్వకముందే మరోసారి సామాజిక మాధ్యమాల్లోని ప్రజలు పేరు విషయంలో తప్పులో కాలేసారు. మసీదులో ప్రార్ధనల వల్ల తన నిద్ర చెడిపోయిందని వివాదాస్పద వ్యాఖ్యలు చేశాడు సింగర్ సోనూ నిగమ్. ఇంతకు ముందు స్నాప్ విషయంలో తికమకపడినట్టు ఇప్పుడు సోనూకి పొరబడ్డారు. ఈ సారి బలైంది నటుడు సోనూ సూద్.

మత వ్యతిరేక వ్యాఖ్యలు చేశాడని అతని సినిమాలు నిషేధించాలని సోనూ సూద్‍పై వ్యతిరేక పోస్టులు పెట్టారు. అసలు ఏం జరుగుతోందో అర్ధ‍ంకాక ఏకంగా సోనూ సోద్ తన ఆశ్చర్యాన్ని ట్విట్టర్ ద్వారా వ్యక్తం చేశాడు. ఎవరు ఎవరితో ఏమన్నారో, ఎవరు తనని ఏమంటున్నారో ఏం చెప్పమంటున్నారో అ‍ర్ధం కావట్లేదంటూ ట్వీట్ చేశాడు.

వ్యాఖ్యలు చేసే వాళ్ళు వ్యతిరేకించే వాళ్ళు కనీసం వివరాలు తెలుసుకుని నిర్ధారించుకుని చేయడం మంచిదేమో. లేకపోతే బాహుబలి 2లో సంపూర్ణేష్ బాబుకు బెస్ట్ హీరో అవార్డు వచ్చినట్టుంటుంది.
