Whenever someone becomes tired s/he takes some drinks like coffee, tea or cocoa products which give an apparent stimuli for the time being, but this relief does not last long.

Does the idea of starting your own business seems like a dream come true?
Although being self employed and owning a business provides one with several financial and personal freedom, but these paybacks only kick in when the business you are running gets conventional and established. Starting your own business requires lot more than what one has always thought or heard of — to just get your business off the ground, you will find yourself probably spending more time than you had ever imagined or spent on anything else. This phase of the start-up business is very critical for it takes an entrepreneur through an assessment of his acumen and well positioned endurance.

I got up this morning with a phone call from a friend of mine planning for a hangout in the evening. After I was done with him, few thoughts flew in my mind as I rested back in my bed for another nap as it was Sunday (supposedly a holiday or a day when WE meet to enjoy, keep up the discussions that we had throughout the tight working schedule of the week). I was thinking why the damn we couldn’t have a good movie to watch this weekend? Though this statement sounds little prejudicing as we have lot of another options rather than a movie. But what I mean is why WE are not catching up today. When I am mentioning WE; I intend to indicate at the group FOURDY that we have formed in the recent past without actually coming to the terms that we are a group or an association of like minds with expertise in variant fields.

What is ADP – Amar Durga Puja?
As we all know that Durga Puja is one of the most awaited festival in West Bengal but because of it’s geographical restriction people in the other part of the world can only read about it or view photos only once the event is over – it’s like watching the highlights of the World Cup Finals. We, at FOURDY WLOG, decided to take Durga Puja to the whole world. After a lot of thinking the only way we could do it was through the most powerful medium of today, the internet. This is when we decided to create ADP – www.amardurgapuja.com. ADP would be like a platform for the users to share their thoughts, videos, photo and more about Durga Puja.

With this though, I (as a web designer,) decided to optimize the size of all graphics that I use to build my webpages. For doing so, I came across many ways to do it and many tools which help you do it. I am listing the 6 excellent tools to do so.

Are you often confused between .gif and .jpeg extensions when you are deciding a file format for your web images? Great! You are looking at the right place for a solution.
Fundamentally, both of these formats compress an image to make it web worthy. Any file with a .jpeg or.gif extension is recognized as an image file by a browser. Only when a site loads quickly into a browser we tend to declare it good in spite of the best functionalities operating otherwise. Agreed? Therefore, it is necessary that the file size of the web page remains small.
Here are stated few points that one needs to know about JPEG & GIF: (a subtle reminder for those tech people who know it 
)
