10 Oldest Mosques in the World

01. Quba Mosque, Saudi Arabia

First Built: 622

The designation of the oldest mosque in the world requires careful use of definitions, and must be divided into two parts, the oldest in the sense of oldest surviving building, and the oldest in the sense of oldest mosque congregation. Even here, there is the distinction between old mosque buildings that have been in continuous use as mosques, and those that have been converted to other purposes; and between buildings that have been in continuous use as mosques and those that were shuttered for many decades. In terms of congregations, they are distinguished between early established congregations that have been in continuous existence, and early congregations that ceased to exist (wikipedia). 09 More after the break...

World in the mist of 'LIKE'

Someone might already brought this into light, but I just realized it.

It all started with me thinking for the reasons why people write poems.

One can list out Love, hate, compassion, dream, happiness, sorrow and go on till he is out of all emotions.

On thinking, I narrowed the list down to one, which is like.

Let me just list out all above reasons one by one and then show how they indeed are like

Love - Synonym of like !

Hate - You hate something because you like something else.

Compassion - You care for others. Isn't that kind of like?

Dream - You like to achieve something.

Happiness - Its because you like it

Sorrow - Its because you miss something you like

You might strike this out as my perspective, but like in every human got its own perspective.

Selfishness, corruption, war, crime and what not. Just name it and see that we are covered by like.

One can only create like as destroying it would be an act because he likes something else.

If you were in a dilemma on whether to shift completely on to Flickr for photo sharing needs, then Facebook gives you one more reason to keep sticking to it. Facebook is going to increase the maximum size limit for uploading photos from 720 pixels to 2048 pixels (approximately 8 times more) starting today and will be functional for every Facebook user in coming weeks.

The photo viewer is also going to have a revamped lightbox interface in which has dark background with images popping-up in the forefront. This comes as welcome addition for people who always wanted to showcase their photography skills on Facebook, but somehow due to compression of images couldn’t display what was apparent.

You’ll be updated on this new addition in your Facebook account anytime stating today carrying up to a week or more, so keep a check on exploring it.
