Do you like stalkers? Of course, you don’t! Neither do I. Internet is a platform where stalking users and tapping information is a way of life and you and I reluctantly or unknowingly accept the unethical conduct by way of using the net. We don’t realize how susceptible are we…
If a genie were to ask me to make a wish, I would ask for a chance to relive my childhood days. Most would wish for it for that matter. Back then life was easy and, who doesn’t like easy? You wanted something, you either got or didn’t get it,…
”When we were young, owning a television and a telephone was a sign of prosperity”, I have heard these words way too often than I care to count. For our parents, technology was limited to television and telephone. While for us, it is ingrained in every aspect of our life….
There are times in life, when in frustration, I conclude Indian mothers to be of the same nature of people at the public emergency services – both never pick up the call when you need them the most. But the former often has a valid reason for not attending important…
Half-a-century ago, newest addition to the family (an in-law, to be precise) was treated with bulky picture albums. Half-a-century later, this would not be much of a treat! With the blooming business of photographs, we all have jumped on the selfie bandwagon, willingly or otherwise. While the term and it’s…
Clouds have been trending for quite some time now, literally and otherwise. Monsoons spell photos, loads of them and photos demand space, lots of space! The same applies to documents, presentations, chat backups, phone contacts and all the other integral data without which (or, to be more precise, at the…
As a child we all might have dreamed of our ideal jobs. ‘What I want to be when I grow old’ plagues every child world over. Doctor, Scientist, Teacher, Painter…. childhood lets us dream of conquering the world. But, adulthood brings us in touch with harsh reality of life- no…
I am sure each one of us had an experience of being locked out of our place once in this lifetime. We have also been partakers of the drama which follows this incidence – find the locksmith, hours of waiting at the next door neighbor’s place (that is, if your…
It is said young minds are impressionable minds. So, if you sow the seeds of an apple tree, you’ll reap apple, guava would give you guava and the same pattern would be followed by all. But, unlike this popular belief what one leave out of consideration are the soil and…
As a society we have come a long way, we are educated, established enough at a very young age, liberal in our views, claim to be non-judgmental and all these are achievements on our parts. It would be taking things to a bit extreme if I happen to say things…
Unhappy faces are a common sight in hospitals. The realization of fault of sorts in the functioning of a healthy human body thrills nobody. The incessant testings, predictions, unwanted suggestions and the endless prescriptions which follow this fault is equally unfavorable. Sitting within the confines of a medical body each…
A 90’s kid would be hit by a nostalgic feeling at the mention of the name ‘Small Wonder’. The robot named V.I.C.I aka Vicki Lawson in the TV series won hearts world over. She was smart, fun to be around and could do just about anything. I envied the Lawson…
I have heard of instances where girls are questioned about their ‘roti’ making prowess by their prospective in-laws while seeking out a suitable match for their ward. And no, it isn’t a common place occurrence in rural areas; it is common in urban civilization, as well. While, your feminist spirit…
How obsessed are you with Instagram? My obsession for the photo sharing platform knows no limit. So, it goes without saying that photo editing apps are my phone’s staple. Instagramers or non-Instagramers (avid photographers who curse the existence of Instagram), for that matter would know the importance of a photo…
When hands free gained momentum, people were seen walking all over the place seemingly talking to self. My mother still remarks, “What a peculiar fellow”, every time she sees people talking into their headset. I am already dreading her remarks once she sees people talking to (no, not on, but…
Privacy is a much sought-after celebrity. I call it a celebrity as its sightings are as rare as a celebrity is in real life as compared to reel. We all seek it, but none actually gets it. So once, one is assured (or, rather, duped) by the privacy policy stated…
You are reading a book on your phone and you wish to copy a text which touches you the most, what do you do? You are reading an important email and you wish to forward part of it to some other party, what do you do? You come across an…
I love my desk, bed and couch. I love them so much that being asked to move away from either one of them makes me sulk and at times compels me to throw tantrums. I can’t explain my love, neither can you! We are officially the ‘couch-potato’ generation. We love…
I didn’t know the usage of a cloud until I used one myself. I for the longest time relied on my laptop to do the storage part-documents, pictures, videos and then some, you would have found just about everything right in my system. This trust lasted till my system decided…
