Have You Got This Message On WhatsApp? Wondering What It Is? Well, We Have The Answer!

WhatsApp is being updated so that all voice calls and text messages would be encrypted for the 1 billion users of the company.
Yes, you heard it right! Finally, full end-to-end encryption has been implemented by Whatsapp, as it had promised an year back.
This means that voice calls, images or messages that are exchanged are secured by end-to-end encryption so that only the person who is communicating with you can read that content and no one else, not even WhatsApp. This means that WhatsApp can’t comply with court order in which access to the content is demanded.
From today, there would be a notification on the conversation saying “Message you send to this chat and calls are now secured with end-to-end encryption. Tap for more info.”
The reason for this is that messages are now secured with a lock and you and the recipient have the special key which is needed for unlocking and reading them. Apart from this, a small lock icon is seen below the recipient’s profile which ensures that the chat is encrypted. This is how the message would appear:

Verifying if someone is spying on the conversation!



The latest version of this popular messenger has an option of verifying the keys of users with whom the chat is on. This ensures that there is no man-in-the-middle attack. You can verify this Whatsapp key by scanning a QR code or by going to ‘verify security code’ option and comparing the 60 digit number.




All this happens automatically

You can also opt for a preference which would notify you each time there is a change in the security code of the contact. All this would happen automatically and there is no need of turning on settings or setting up secret chats.

Death of a Star! in Bollywood

When I was flipping through my Diary 2002 the other day, my jottings about Monal’s tragic end beckoned me and brought to my mind a host of awesome nostalgic thoughts. I had a feeling of déjà vu as the dead artist again touched a chord in my heart. How would emotionally deplete artists behave when driven to wall? [Read on…] Monal, a starlet from Bollywood, hung herself to death on the Tamil New Year’s Day. A strange quirk of fate played havoc with her life, putting off her promising career of becoming an icon in the Kollywood. TV visuals showed her sleeping eternally on a bier; she was a feast to flies that were swarming her lissome body … a body that set fire to the hearts of thousands of her fans. Monal’s premature death moved me to a great extent not because she was one of the upcoming actors of the Kollywood and a diva for whom the tinsel world plumped rather madly, but because it set me thinking as to what led the young actor to kill herself savagely in the middle of her ...

27 Simple mehndi designs for hands for Karwa Chauth

The most  simple mehndi designs for hands  for Karwa Chauth 2014 Karwa Chauth  is around the corner and I am so excited about getting mehndi done! This time I plan to go with a simple yet quirky design. Don’t want my hands full, however it needs to be a style statement for this year’s most awaited festival for us ladies! There are some basic categories of mehndi designs, such as Gujrati, Rajasthani, Marwari,  Arabic  and African  patterns to choose from. They have certain prominent motifs or symbols that distinguishes one from the other. I just can’t seem to stop experimenting with these styles. From  circles to squares , peacocks and paisleys , checks and dots and what not. But my all-time favorite is a simple, curling vine, of course finger tips covered with thick coating of aromatic mehndi (which is so traditional). Quirky patterns include  traditional  as well as non-traditional patterns tweaked to one’s own liking. This includ...
