India, donate in support to Wikipedia today to serve you free for years to come

On Monday, today, on an auspicious day of Rakhi Purnima aka Rakshabandhan and also the last Somwar (Monday) of the auspicious month of sawan in 2020 for us Hindus, I was seeking for some information and opened up Wikipedia. I saw this message on top of the webpage.

What caught my attention was the blue background (unfamiliar User interface than that of the website) and the popped up message requesting to all users from India.

Wikipedia is humbly asking we Indians to donate in support of their initiative of ad-free service for years to come.

We, the Indians, should join our hands in this donation initiative ignoring that even Wikipedia is not correct all the times.


Check these screenshot below: Wikipedia asking for donations to all readers of India:

As we can see the Wikipedia donation request in the above screenshot for users of the India. Wikipedia is asking We, the Indians to donate generously in the amounts of ₹150, ₹500, ₹1000, ₹3,000, ₹5,000 or any other amount through which you can donate them.

Let's join in support of Wikipedia to keep knowledge and information ad-free for the greater benefit of human and specially to those who can not afford a quality of it ignoring that even Wikipedia is not free of errors and mistakes.

A meagre amount of ₹150 (if only you can afford) or any such donation will be of great help in living upto this dream. It will be a token of gratitude in case if Wikipedia was able to serve you worth that amount last year, which you are going to donate now. I thank my readers from India for standing up in supporting the good while ignoring the bads and also thank Wikipedia to be so nice in their business model, i.e, ad free experience.

If I had two extra hours in a day,I would......

Picture courtesy-Internet Now a days,every person's life is so busy and so hectic that we do not get time for other things.Even we do not get much time to complete our pending works on the same day or other day.In this way,the pending works get clotted and becomes a huge mountain to climb upon .          I was thinking that in these busy hours of work or study,if I get two more extra hours in a day, what will I do ?         Whether I will spend them in completing my pending works of getting a new Ration Card,as we have from shifted from the rented house to our own home on the other side of the town,or will I go to meet some of my friends and relatives with whom I never find time to meet,though they are in the same town .        I have got other options also to spend my time,like meeting and having fun with my old classmates hovering around Kolkata or visiting my old area ...

Viewing 51 Feet Tall Lord Shiva Statue at Bangeshwar Mahadev Mandir in Howrah, Eastern India.

One of it's kind in Eastern India, this 51 feet tall Lord Shiva statue was unveiled by Honorable President Of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday, December 13, 2015. The President along with his team and Governor of West Bengal Keshari Nath Tripathi visited the famous temple ' Natun Mandir' aka ' Naya Mandir' which means 'Newest Temple' in English, i.e, Seth Banshidhar Jalan Smriti Mandir or Bangeshwar Mahadev Mandir in Howrah early morning on Sunday. FYI, the Shiva Temple rests in between Howrah Railway Station and Salkia's Bandhaghat area exactly on Salkia School Road which is both way connected to Kolkata either by road or by river through Golabari-Armenian Ferry Service as well as Bandhaghat-Ahiritola Ferry service too. It would hardly take an hour to reach the landmark if you are connecting the nearby dots I mentioned above during peak traffic hours. First Day of inaugurating the tallest ever lord Shiva in Eastern India at Bangeshwar...
