2-If you define God you are limiting the limitless one, you are confining Him with concepts of mind.

It is #Durga #Pujo time in Kolkata and people love #Pandal #Hopping. So many people are uploading #photos and #videos of pandals (privacy settings as public), unfortunately there is no way I can check a #map in #Facebook to view those photos & videos based on location and then
choose the pandals that I'd like to visit. #Google is trying hard to work on #streetview. Seems like #Facebook can do it overnight, with so much of #data (privacy setting as public). AI can mask the face if it very much required. #bigdata #analytics #facebooklocal #local #bingmap
