YouTube Stops Adsense Earnings for Some accounts

by Leave a Comment

Many budding YouTube account holders got emails stating that their monetisation feature is disabled. To re-apply the account should have minimum 1000 subscribers and at least 4000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months. I do not feel that this a big number for any channel posting real good videos. Even though my Account is old, I just started posting videos regularly only two months ago. I have crossed about 80 videos now and see growing at a good pace.

The reason for such a decision was to cut down the accounts which looked spamy, posting copied videos, copyright violations and so on. Many think that YouTube is a shortcut to make money online, which has taken a toll on people who put a lot of effort to produce good videos.

My Message to hard working YouTubers who have got their monetisation blocked is to keep doing your good work, you will be able to reach the set basic requirement soon.

No more Orange Passports for Indians

by Leave a Comment

I don’t know who was the person who came up with such a ridicules idea. Please let us not treat citizens of India with different colours of passports.

The government has scrapped its plan to issue orange coloured passports to those who have not passed their Class 10 examination. It has also decided not to discontinue printing the last page of the passport, which is used as a valid proof of address.

Indore is the cleanest City – Mysore dropped to the 5th place

4th May 2017

Sad to note that Mysore has dropped to the 5th place and missed an hat-trick.

India’s cleanest city is Indore in Madhya Pradesh and the runner up, Bhopal, is also from the same state, Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu said today, announcing the names of 25 cities that have been voted the best by citizens. The government’s “Swachh Survekshan 2017”, which has assessed cities based on lakh of votes from 434 cities, also says the dirtiest city is in Uttar Pradesh – Gonda.

Odd And Even Number Vehicles to be Allowed in Delhi on Alternate Days

This is really a bold move by the Delhi Government. The AAP government has been left with no other choices than taking such strong steps. Citizens of Delhi should take this decision as positive and respect the decision.

Under fire over rising pollution in Delhi and the lack of a concrete plan to tackle it, the Arvind Kejriwal government has announced that private vehicles with odd and even registration numbers will be allowed on the roads of the national capital only on alternate days starting next month.

Update : Looks like the people of Delhi are comming forward and giving full support the Government plans. It is the responsibility of every citizen to do their best to contribute to stop / reduce pollution. Nothing is going change overnight. Congrats Delhiwalon….

Flybus – Bengaluru Airport to Mysore

by 3 Comments

I am a regular traveller between Mysore and Kempegowda International Airport for the past 5 years now. I was hiring a cab all the time according to my flight timings and was comfortable. Now I use Mysore Flybus to travel to Bangalore Airport.

Mysore Flybus – Cheap, safe and fastest way to travel between Mysore and Bangalore Airport

KSRTC introduced last year, but when I checked the timings, it was not matching my flight timings. 3 months back, I once again visited the Flybus page on the KSRTC website and found that they had increased the frequency of service and it was fitting to my flight timings.

For the past 3 months I am using Mysore Flybus and it’s a great service. They are very punctual and the buses (Volvo) are very comfortable and even has a toilet. They would stop for a break, at Maddur bus stop when it’s from Mysore and at Hotel Kamat Upchar when it is returning back to Mysore.

Bus Stopped for Tea break at Kamat – Returning to Mysore

I feel this a very good service and should be used by all Mysoreans. The trips are not crowded, more and more people should use this service. Tickets can be purchased online or from the bus. It’s better to buy it online and select your seats (Cost INR 800).

It’s a good practice to use public services so that we can save on fuel and reduce traffic in Bangalore.

Hope this service goes well, more and more people use it. Hopefully they can even increase the frequency, which is possible only if the users are increasing.

FreshMenu – New Restaurant at Bangalore International Airport

by 1 Comment

A new place for eating at the Bengaluru International Airport (Kempegowda International Airport). This has come at the place of Cafe’ Noir which was one of my favourite place to have breakfast during my travel.

Chicken Salad – Was good, but I got disappointed as I was told that they do not have Coffee even though it was there in their menu. No Coffee? This is basic man.

Otherwise the service was good and the boys are doing a good job.

Processed Food should be avoided – Not good for health

by Leave a Comment

It is very important that you eat good for having good health. We see a lot of processed food at super markets / online shops which are very tasty, but they are very bad for health.

 

Foods like processed meat, bread, pasta, sugar, etc are things which should be avoided. Check out the full list on the link below

Avoid processed foods as much as you possibly can. I do not recommend you go completely saatvik and only eat fresh (though that is ideal). But by definition, the moment something is processed, it will be start losing its original form.
