Mahadevi Varma Is Today's Google Doodle: Know All About The Celebrated Hindi Poet.

Today's Google doodle marks the 114th birth anniversary of K.L. Saigal. . Today is the 114th birth anniversary of Kundan Lal Saigal, or KL Saigal as he is popularly known. Google is marking this anniversary with a doodle of the late maestro. Saigal, blessed with a sonorous voice and a unique song style, was Bollywood's first legitimate 'superstar'. He was an actor-singer, appeared in 36 films made in three languages, and sang 185 songs in his 15-plus-year career. Saigal was the gold standard for all the singing luminaries who came after him; indeed, many mimicked him. These include Mohammad Rafi and Kishore Kumar. To think, Saigal wasn't even a trained musician. The deep-timbred Saigal had humble beginnings and learned music informally, even as he sang along with his mother and other devotees at local religious shrines. He never managed to complete school and before his big break worked odd jobs like as a timekeeper and a salesman. He contin

Facebook’s brave new world: India needs strong rules to ensure internet is not only free but also fair.

Moreover, most policies are of a take-it-or-leave-it fashion – if you want the service, you must agree to its terms, most of which provide no option for negotiation. A combination of temptation for the service and belief in the good faith of the service provider means that every time i part with personal information online, i know that i am possibly signing away my right to keep my personal life private. But i do it nonetheless – after all, what could possibly happen? The startling revelation that Cambridge Analytica had access to personal data of over 87 million Facebook users is how the chickens come home to roost. This includes data, according to
