Facebook Questionnaire Service Started
Facebook has started a new service for its customers called the Facebook Question Service. This new technology will facilitate you to get answers from millions users from facebook and vice versa. The main advantage of this service is it helps us get answers for very simple and day to day questions. Usually Internet affinity is to endow with answers for professional and technical questions. This new kind of service will give you answer for questions like “which restaurant in your area provides best Chinese food?” or “Is there rain in your area?” or “Did you know anything this particular movie?” etc. This helps you get answers for a particular question among your friends or family without using any other traditional way of communication in this 4G world. After the activation of this service it will be placed in the news feed of your facebook page. 
The news feed is placed top middle position of the facebook which also consists of status, photos, links and videos. Once it activated you can ask question just clicking “Question” and post your questions. Your question will then get added to your friends news feed. Like this when you see a question on your news feed, and if you like to answer that question, click on the question to pop up to new window and answer the question. Facebook also provides you options to follow your friend’s questions. This is done by clicking the follow link. Also don’t ask personal questions if you don’t want everyone see it. Your questions should be specific if you need correct answers and don’t expect answers to the hypothetical and generic questions. This service is not a private questionnaire for some group of friends. So all your questions and answers are visible to users of facebook.

Independence Day Greetings
Let us now wish each other the patriotic greetings of our nation’s 64th Independence Day. The most important event of Independence Day celebration is the flag hoisting ceremony by Prime Minister in Red Fort. The flag hoisting ceremonies will be held all over the nation by the local administration. It is the right day for remembrance and payment of tribute to our freedom fighters. Let us now remember the following words of Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru from the speech on Independence Day, 1947.
“Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance…. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”
Expendables in Kerala
The much awaited movie expendable is here in Kerala. The multi-starrer is a twenty twenty of Hollywood. The cast contains Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Lee, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Mickey Rourke as the Expendables.
The other cast of the film include Charisma Carpenter, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gisele Itié as Sandra, Lauren Jones as Cheyenne, David Zayas, Eric Roberts, Steve Austin, Gary Daniels and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Stallon unlike Arnold looks very young, energetic and sexy. The part in which he removes his shirt and goes for a tattoo we can see how carefully he maintains his body.
This movie has a place in the filming history because in this film Stallone, Arnold and Bruce Willis share the same screen. Before I saw the film I had great expectations and the film didn’t let me down as I am a fan of Stallone and Statham.
The story of the film is very predictable and has nothing new in it. But our veteran actors give us a great show.
This is not a film for the one who does the anatomy a film. This film is for the one who want to see our old stars together.
If you liked the movie 20 20 you will like this movie too.
