Facebook Posting - When is the right time to make a post on Facebook?

“Right things at a right time, results better”, as said by anonymous, indeed it is difficult to ascertain the right time for the posting on Facebook. More or less, we know that Facebook from simple social media has now turned into business growing opportunity. Reaching the right customer at the right time definitely strikes the customer interest and at the same time boosts the sale. 

Nevertheless, it is conflicting issue to decide the right time to make a post on Facebook. After going through many studies, I have analyzed that the term ‘right’ with respect to time, customer and post differs to every business. For example, posting with regard to Jewellery shall be targeted to ladies during day time whereas posting for smart phones can target both genders but preferably during evening hours. What is required is proper understanding about the customer and their lifestyle.
Tips to determine the right time for posting –

Bid Adieu to Orkut

Depressed to hear that Orkut will no longer be accessible after couple of months. Google has decided to bid farewell to Orkut due to increased competency of other social networks. Orkut was Google’s first interactive foray into social networking. But in the past ten decades many other social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Plus, etc. have appeared and are able to attract more communities from various parts of the world. These sites have taken over Orkut’s pace giving lesser space for it to survive.



Orkut was a gateway to social interaction during the time when we were not really aware of social networking. Going through my Orkut account, I recollected days when I used to share photos and messages with my friends. Turning through various albums, snapshots of my baby when she was around a year old made my day. Photographs of the time when I carried her in my tummy made me go “awe”. Not just this, it even refreshed my memories of the fantastic dinner which I had with my husband as a celebration to adieu our bachelor’s life before marriage. There I found testimonials that we shared between friends. I wish if that time I would have learnt more about this platform,

A square hole in the Sun?

Yes. You read right, a hole in the Sun which was developed in its corona is now extending toward the outer atmosphere making it visible more clearly. Not to panic, as researches from NASA found it a normal scenario.

Counselling no more a taboo....

“I have returned from counselling”, was overheard from one of the students of 12th standard while I was paying for my hand-picked veggies at a super market store. I was stunned for once, as I am from an era when these things are not meant to be revealed in public. Counselling and moreover if personal, gives a negative remark as it shows once incapability to handle things. And today, I find growing demand for counsellors with prior appointment to the sessions.

Teenagers today are saying ‘Yes’ to counsel as they understand that finding solution in every possible way is always a preference over giving up. Indeed, it is not a hidden fact that we all face downfalls in life at one point, few able to face it, whereas other get carried away and drowned. Today’s youth does not want to get carried with any situation and before it starts affecting your mental behaviour, it is better to remove it and throw it away. Counselling relieves you from mental pressure and develops confidence. It is also preferred when we face stagnation and not sure of further moves.

History of Hyderabad beyond Pearls, Irani Chai, Biryani...

History of Pearls, Chai, Biryani… and now IT.

City of Pearls, City of Nawabs, Cyber City…Hyderabad has been renowned with many titles in the past 400 years. It is one of the fastest growing cities with magnificent architecture and rich culture.
 
Established in 1591 by the 5th Sultan of Golconda, Muhammad Quli Qutab Shah, the city was named after his beloved wife, Bhagmati. City witnessed architectural development during his regime along with expansion of Islam. Charminar, Qutub Shahi Tombs are the major contributions of Mughals. It was from the Golconda Fort that the world-famous Kohinoor diamond was discovered. The city became popular as a hub of diamond and pearl trading which were sold spread out on the streets.

After Aurangazeb’s death in 1707, the Mughal empire weakened, and the governor of Hyderabad, Asaf Jah I (titled Nizam-ul-Mulk by the Mughal emperor), declared his independence in 1724. In his line, 7 Nizams ruled Hyderabad and during their period city noticed vast development in town-planning, economy and culture. The last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan built Osmania University and Osmania General Hospital and named them after himself. He was recognized as the world's richest man by Time magazine in 1937.

Do dreams have value?

“Nothing happens unless first a dream” said Carl Sandburg. Dreams are considered as stepping stone towards a goal but do they bear any value, if yes, how much? If I am asked this anytime, my over-the-face statement will be “Dreams has no value”.  Shocked!! But it is the reality. Dreams really have no value in the sense that they are precious. They are so precious that their value cannot be measured. We all dream of something but most of us develop will to believe them and very few of us believe and follow them. On the way to reach them we just make numerous sacrifices with no count and once they are realized the pleasures too are beyond expression.
