Electronics and IT industries do not directly supply what the consumer desires. For them consumer is not always right. They manufacturer decides what a consumer 'needs' to fulfill his expressed 'desire'.  No one really demanded a smartphone, what was asked for better ways to be in touch with others. The smartphone was created to address the root of the desire to be connected. Internet is

It is a very common, deep set habit amongst many of us, that we hesitate to appreciate. The habit is so deep set that it happens subliminally, without making its insidious presence felt. Observe yourself the next time you find someone better than you in a particular task. You are impressed by him/her, you have the urge to clap, to stand up and say "Bravo!" , to actually go up to the person and

Do you remember how badly you wanted what you have right now? It could be your job, your education, your house, your car, your family. Think about it, think about the time when you did not have it and achieving it meant the world for you. What value is it of to you now? Doesn't it deserve to be a reason for your happiness now? More importantly, did you congratulate yourself enough when you

I was in Bangalore recently, just holidaying with a couple of cousins who stay there. On the day I was to return, I was joined by my mother and aunt and we were to catch a plane in the evening. Having the whole day to us, a sudden epiphany struck my aunt and mom and they decided they wanted to visit an Ashram( A holy place) of a spiritual guru(spiritual leader). Obviously, I told them I'd rather

Lifes fast. My fifth semester has, as usual, subjects with six foot long names, which could easily pass of as abuses when chanted in front of a layman. I tend to get very interesting lab incharges and examiners for my practical courses. I had some very interesting vivas in my first semester.. (by interesting I mean whip-ass vivas), and I have a gut feeling I am all set for a deja vu again this

I sat in a train @ Indian railways after almost 8 years! Last weekend I visited Jammu with family and friends. There is a very small percentage of people in North India who havent visited The Vaishno Devi Shrine... a 13 Km climb in the hills of Katra. I belonged to that small population until last weekend. I admit I thoroughly enjoyed my climb.. all of it was on foot. I was expecting my legs

Look at it this way. We have earth. Which means the world to us. We think the world belongs to us, everything we see, perceive and understand is with respect to this earth and whatever happens on it. We have made our own norms, our laws, our constitutions and systems. For us, these set norms and constitutions serve as the absolute reference according to which we decide right and wrong. Our earth

The sun was just rising and the air was still.The ground was deserted but would soon be buzzing with activity. There was mayhem on the trees as the winged creatures went about their daily business of finding grain. Sitting on the grass on the popping crease I could smell the pitch. It was hard, no moisture and not a blade of grass could be seen. The turf turned from brown to golden as the first

Im just through with my mid semester exams, for the 3rd semester. I am afraid all the talk about the toughest courses in 3rd semester for Instrumentation and Control have come out to be true. Electronics and analog electrical measurement papers were howlers. Questions like designing a car radio, measuring inductances in ac bridges... Maths and power apparatus were okay, and so was circuits

It has finally rained in Delhi. The weather is sticky and humid now, but rains are nevertheless most welcome. Even a small drizzle or just a cloudy day is a Godsend in such heat. I wonder whether to call this global warming or my hectic schedule.Last Saturday, my mother caught me neatly. I was dozing off on the sofa, trying to take a siesta, when she found the perfect time to tell me to clean up

On 3rd June, a Sunday, I had a crazy day, though I enjoyed myself thoroughly.I had left at 11 in the morning and came home at 10 pm or so, all exhausted and thirsty. All I could do was drink lots of water and slump onto my bed, and sleep... like a log. I don't have dreams usually(I don't remember them the next morning) but that night I dreamt that I am in a street race. I don't know much about my

Even though i try my best to identify the improvements made in IE7 over IE6, and force myself to give it a chance, time and again good old Firefox gives me reasons to believe that it is undeniably the best.

I had to visit my physician the other day. There was an excruciating ache in my throat, a continuous stinging pain, which got magnified when I swallowed, or even by just moving my neck. I have had a sore throat before, but this was different. I had also been running fever along with this "pain in the neck". Such was its acuteness, that it often caused difficulty in speaking and eating or drinking

The heat really got onto my nerves today. I went to college after ages, with the intentions of attending some lectures and gain some knowledge which our gurujis impart everyday. But it suddenly was so bloody hot after 11 am.
