1. WhatsApp and Facebook have 1B active users:  http://www.recode.net/2016/7/20/12232130/facebook-messenger-one-billion-users
2. Facebook Tops WhatsApp in India:  http://www.livemint.com/Industry/vU55FbKdlz9vIfkxUb0EoL/Facebook-tops-networking-WhatsApp-in-message-apps-in-India.html
3. India Internet Population: http://www.internetlivestats.com/internet-users/india/

 Here are some theories. 

•  The majority of Whatsapp and FB Messenger users come from India.Let us assume 50% of each messenger apps; that is a cumulative 1B active user coming from India, which is not possible because there is only 462M people have access to the internet. 
• Out of 462M, practically everyone in India should be using both FB Messenger and WhatsApp messenger. If so which one is the most actively being used? Should we use messages sent per month as a KPI?
• 1M messages sent per month from FB Messenger is pretty low, 1 message per user, what is the definition of an active user then?

Somewhere something is incorrect. There is no doubt that these two messaging platforms are great, and India loves both FB and WhatsApp. However, we need to see more distilled numbers to know what exactly is going on?

 stranger met three different people and gave each one of them a gold plate. 

1. A beggar who has never seen gold in his life received a gold plate. He used the plate for begging. 

2. A Middle-class family man who is trying to put his daughter in a top university. He was so happy to receive the gold plate, as he sold it and got his financial burden uplifted. 

3. A Rich-Man, who got this gold plate, made a separate chest for this gift and made sure that this gets passed on from generation to generation.

We all take care of our spouse, children, parents, friends, etc. as they are all a gift to our life. But what about yourself?  Isn't it similar to the above story? Unless whom we are associated with, understands that WE are GOLD.  We all either get Used, Abused or Treasured.  Mostly not based on bad intentions, just based on ignorance and circumstances of life. 

There is a saying in my language. We cannot choose our parents and children. However, we can still determine our Spouse and Friends. Choose them wisely as they all treat you as the Rich-Man treated his GOLD.
