Republic Day, celebrated on January 26th every year, is one of India’s most important national events. It was on January 26th, 1950 that the constitution of India came into force and India became a truly Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state.
On this day -India finally enjoyed the freedom of spirit, rule of law and fundamental principle of governance. The patriotic fervor of the Indian people on this day brings the whole country together even in her embedded diversity.
Republic Day is a people’s day in a variety of ways:
It’s when regional identity takes a backseat and what matters most is the universal appeal of unity and brotherhood projected by all Indians.
The Indian constitution basically stands for the aspirations which ‘the common man of India’ cherishes.
Republic Day is a day of the citizen of the country when he is entitled to be ‘all supreme.
Republic Day is celebrated most majestically in the capital, New Delhi, where symbols of the great nation's military might and cultural wealth are displayed in what is the world's most impressive parade. All Government buildings are illuminated lending the city the atmosphere of a fairyland. This day is celebrated with much zeal and pride all across the nation.

Diwali

One of the biggest festivals of Hindus, Deepawali or Diwali in India is celebrated with lots
of enthusiasm and happiness. This festival is celebrated for five continuous days, with the
third day being celebrated as the main Diwali or as 'Festival of Lights'. Fireworks are always
associated with this festival. The day is celebrated with people lighting diyas, candles all
around their house. Lakshmi Puja is performed in the evening to seek divine blessings of
Goddess of Wealth. Diwali gifts are exchanged among all near and dear ones.

The auspicious day of Diwali is decided by the moon position & according to the
Hindu calendar, Amavasya or the "no moon day" is considered the perfect day for Diwali.
The dark night comes after every fortnight & in the Hindu month of Kartik (October/November),
it marks the festive occasion. The Diwali date holds an imperative meaning among the Hindus,
since, the day is reckoned with Lord Rama's coronation ceremony as the King of Ayodhya after
his return to the kingdom from 14 years of exile along with his wife Sita & brother Laxman
after killing the demon, King Ravana. People celebrated this occasion by lighting diyas
to drive away the darkness of amavasya.

Integrating Wordpress with Your Website


There are two common ways of integrating WordPress into your existing site:

One, you can install Wordpress, write your posts, and then use PHP or Javascript to integrate the feed directly into your existing design. The drawback with this is if you want to include any links in the feed (for example, to read the rest of the post or add comments). If they click a link, it has to take them somewhere and by default they'll go to your installation of Wordpress which will most likely look nothing like your existing website.

Two, you can take your existing design, tables or CSS, and create a Wordpress theme that matches your site exactly. Then, apply it to your Wordpress installation and you can now have a "/blog" (or whatever you decide to use Wordpress for) that looks and feels exactly like your website. Thus, while it doesn't actually sound like an integration, the result for your end users is the same: you've added the functionality of Wordpress without sacrificing your design and now offer your users added functionality with total continuity.

As it is also known as software engineering in a technical language, it simply means the development of solutions according to the particular needs of a client. In other words, it is a process involving custom approach that helps to solve client problems. For this, one needs to focus on various principles, tools, and guideline as well as design implementation of software development.
Some simple steps:
• The first step includes the understandability of the necessities of the client/end-user and of the system for which the software is required for.
• Once the needs are well understood, innovative decisions on the basis of specific requirements of the end-user are taken. The end-user may be a single customer or a group.
• While development phase is a stage by stage process, hence every little error or bug is looked after to remove the upcoming hindrances in the development phase. This involves use of latest technology.
Customized software is designed to meet a common cause. Many companies are providing such services to its clients. It is the duty of the client to check for the right company dealing in such services as they claim to be technology expert. Big companies offer many customized software solutions to its clients under one roof. These companies only work with one objective: to fulfill its customers needs.
