 Google shows off its sweet tooth when it comes to naming its Android versions. All the Android versions are named after some sweets in alphabetical order; the recent one to join the list is Android 4.4, named after a popular confectionary-KitKat.

Now Indians want Google to name its next Android version after one of the two most famous sweets in the country- Lassi and Ladoo. Hiten Raja.

A group of students from IIT-Kharagpur, have written an open letter to Google's Android Chief, Sundar Pichai, who is the product of same college, requesting him to name the next version of Android as Lassi, reports Times Of India. It reads, "We would like to suggest that the very next version of Android be named on one of the most popular Indian dessert, Lassi. Lassi, the humble Indian sweetened yogurt based drink, is a traditional chilled beverage of India served with an assortment of flavorings. Lassi symbolizes the purity and delicacy of Indian culture. This explains the huge cult following that Lassi commands all over India."

 

 

The letter also quotes IDC report, saying 68.8 percent of the Smartphones shipped in the country in 2012 were powered by Android OS; three times more than Apple's iOS (18.8 percent) and dwarfs BlackBerry OS (4.5 percent) and Nokia's Symbian (3.3 percent). Google too have apparently claimed in 2012 that the Android user base grew by 500 percent year-over-year in countries like India, Brazil and others.    And what better acknowledgement can Google give then an Indian name "Lassi" for Android.Hiten Raja.

There is another group made up of some 500 Indian tech start-ups who has also launched a campaign to convince Google to name the next Android after another Indian delicacy "Ladoo." The same group had last year unsuccessfully campaigned to name the OS Kaju Katli.

In their campaign, they stated, "We are Indians. We have a big heart. We understand that there might be commercial pressures to do so (about Google naming the next as KitKat). Or maybe our voices were just not loud enough to make KajuKatli Android a reality."

"We still love Android and we are committed to see a version of Android that is dedicated after an Indian sweet. With enough advance notice this time, we request you to name the next version of Android as Ladoo."

Apart from drumming up support on the internet and social media for Android Ladoo/ Lassi, both the groups are planning to send out these Indian delicacies to key Google executives.

If you can't forgive and forget, pick one.

 

Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.

 

A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the full value of time and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.

 

Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles,a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth.
Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.
