Gaana.com : Listen to Latest Bollywood songs for FREE anyway you want it
Gaana.com is a good news for the fans of Indian/Bollywood music from IndiaTimes.com. It is a feature rich beautifully designed site that supports almost all web formats including HTML5, so you can very well use it on iPad too. For other people including Android users, the site plays in full desktop format and you can pretty much do everything you can do on a computer.
Instead of creating individual iOS and Android apps the site relies on browser capabilities of the respective devices. Only drawback of this step is that the background streaming is not possible in many cases. As soon as the browser goes in the background, music stops on my Android tablet and smartphone. Apple iPad users also report not being able to skip to the next song in the playlist though current playing song continues to play. This in my opinion is something you can achieve only with a native app.
Nonetheless, Gaana.com can be used on any operating system - PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS or anything else that has browser capabilities.
You necessarily don’t need to create an account to use the site but you will receive a better experience if you link it with Twitter and/or Facebook accounts.
You can save your favorite songs, playlist, albums etc. and share them with your friends.
Below are some screenshot images of the various links of the site:
Home screen lets you select individual albums/songs to play quickly.
New Releases tab shows you the latest Bollywood albums you can play.
Or you can choose to play any of the features playlists or create your own.
The best experience of Gaana.com comes in the full screen mode. Full screen mode features a dazzling bar in the center and a moving clock slider. On the side you see recommendations based on the current playing song. You can also like, share or control song on this screen.
After I started using Gaana.com, I almost forgot using Pandora. The ad-free unlimited song plays didn’t leave anything more to ask from this site. Except strong recommendation I could not offer much in return for this beautiful music site. Do check it out and let us know in comment how did you like it. What are your opinion about it?
Complicated American Life
Two men, one American and an Indian were sitting in a bar and discussing about their family problems.
The Indian man said to the American, ‘We have problem in India we can’t marry the one whom we love, You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely girl from a village whom I haven’t even met once.’ We call this arranged marriage. I don’t want to marry a woman whom I don’t love… I told them that openly and now have a hell lot of family problems.’
The American said, talking about love marriages… In America We can marry the one whom we love ……I’ll tell you my story. ‘I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years. After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and married her, so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father’s father-in-law. Legally now my daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother.
More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father’s brother and so he is my uncle. Situations turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father’s son, my brother is my grandson. Ultimately, I have become my own grandfather and I am my own grandson.” AND YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAMILY PROBLEMS The Indian fainted……..!!!
