Messenger lit!

I was never really a fan of facebook sites and apps. I hate the Facebook App for Android and loathe the Messenger App.
Messenger is Facebook's flagship messaging App. And Facebook has been continuously adding bloat to the App in order to persuade you to switch. It even bought Whatsapp!
But, that is all about to change, for the first time I am shockingly finding an App by Facebook to be good!
Messenger lite ticks all the box, which a messaging app should consist of. Messenger lite strips the Messenger App of all of its extensions and bots and scannable barcodes and games. It forgoes all those bloats for a feature which should have been on messenger since day one!
I am forced to use Messenger, well because everyone who is anyone uses it. So when the lite app was launched, I patiently waited for the App. And when it was finally made available in my country, I was one of the first adopters!
I have never looked back since then, I have stated that it focuses on one feature which is essential and that feature is a good messaging experience, it removes all the distractions and allows you to concentrate only on the person you are talking to.
This App is proof that companies are overthinking the messaging apps and are adding too much bloat! I mean lite only takes about one-tenth of the storage, which the main app consumes and still provides all the features you really need. I can still use emojis and share photos and videos and even make voice calls, as of recent updates to the app, and lets me send text in groups.
What it doesn't do is consume battery like and resources and does not takes up half of your phone's storage! In fact, it is soo good, that I might even ditch WhatsApp for it. WhatsApp is another Facebook app to which it continues to add bloat!
In short Messenger lite is not the slim version of Messenger for the data conscious, it should be the default Messenger App from Facebook!

King Arhur the legend of misfortune !

King Arthur the legend of the sword: Before it was slaughtered by the critics', this was supposed to be an origin story for our hero Arthur portrayed brilliantly by Charlie Hunnam and is directed by the Sherlock Holmes Director Guy Richie. Richie tries his best to tell the story which has been told by several others before him in a new and interesting way. To his credit, he even achieves that to some extent. The movie tells the story of Arthur son of Uther, who is raised in a brothel and has grown up to be a thug of some sorts. Later on, he discovers he is the true king. A reality which he is not willing to admit. The movie feels unusually grounded, even though it is filled with mages and giant Elephant and an Octopus lady. Guy Richie gives the viewer reason to care for our protagonist and even creates a good antagonist in Jude Law. Jude Law plays the uncle of Arthur and the killer of his father. The build-up to the big fight is gripping and the supporting cast is stellar. ...

KG please don't make me go through this again F!

Hello readers, I have been down and out for what? A year maybe. But, fear not I am back again and will again claim to publish new blogs frequently! So, I for some reason decided to try a film of the Kannnada language. That film was called KGF. The film is about a rebel who is born into poverty with only his mother (whom he loses early in the movie.). The movie is the first part of the two parted series. The sequel will release sometime I don’t know when. Now, let’s talk about the movie. The film fails to live up to the hype big time! The pressure from the society is what drove me into watching this “masterpiece”, only to find the same old Indian movie formula baked again with different actors. The story has been told several time, it is by no means new. Furthermore, the direction is poor and jarring at best. The action scenes are age old, hero making goons float with one punch, the acting is loud and tone deaf. The side characters have no layer, no motive. The villain is t...
