  • First Day, First Job

    First day on job

    Beep… Beep… Beep…… Beep… Beep… Beep…… Trying to find snooze button on the alarm clock, Navin (that’s not me, notice the spelling) woke up at 05:30 AM. With drowsy eyes he went straight to the bathroom, barely avoiding the dining chair, to answer nature’s call. After completing all his regular activities like brushing his teeth, cleaning goop from his eyes and mucus from nose it suddenly dawned to him. This is my first day at my first job. There was a sudden surge of emotions and feelings within him like… “I need to go to bathroom again!”

    –––––

    He put on his Peter England shirt and Max trousers which he had bought yesterday at the mall.

  • Why did I see The Dark Knight Rises… again!

    I am a big fan of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, if you are not then probably you should have a look at Batman & Robin. But is that a reason enough for you to see the movie again. Well read on for my reasons, wait… caveat lector. If you haven’t watched the movie then there are some spoilers ahead. Yes, now you can go ahead –

    The Dark Knight Rises

    1. This time, I wasn’t paying for the tickets!

    2. Previously I saw the movie in puny 70mm format. But this time, I saw it in gargantuan IMAX screen which was almost four storeys tall.

  • My favorite (free) photo editing apps for android

    If your phone is blessed with a great camera like the ones found in Samsung Galaxy S2/3 or HTC One S/X then you need to have a photo editing app installed to make the most of those photos. But before I start with my list I will clear it out that Instagram does not make it. Why? Because it is more of a photo-sharing app than a photo editing app. So here it goes –

    Pixlr-o-matic

    This app comes from Autodesk (creators of AutoCAD) and probably has most number of filters available than any other photo editing app available in Google Play. When you first download the app it would have only a small subset of filters (effects, overlay and border), but then afterwards you add more depending on your preferences – and there are tons of them.

  • The “not so” Amazing Spiderman

    Reasons why The Amazing Spiderman is “not so” amazing:

    1. I went to this movie thinking that it would be different from the one directed by Sam Raimi, thats what the promo said – “The untold story”. Spoiler alert: The story has already been told.

  • If Rajinikanth was a software engineer…

    I know that there is no shortage of Rajinikanth jokes, but I couldn’t stop myself after reading this post. So here it goes.

    If Rajinikanth was a software engineer…

    1. Compilers don’t warn Rajinikanth. Rajinikanth warns compilers.

    2. Rajinikanth writes directly in binary. He then writes the source code as a documentation for other developers.

    3. Rajinikanth can derive private key by just looking at the public key.
