If you want to be productive, there’s one simple thing you can do: Disable all notifications right now. Notifications can be really distracting and break your workflow. And while you might be thinking that’s not the case, just try it for a day or two and you’ll realise. Unless you are in a job where listening to each and every notification is very important, drop them off. But that will mean that you won’t be getting to know when you get a mail or tweet....

In India, there’s a certain mentality that seems to be there. And it’s not customer is always right! It’s about providing service. And unlike many companies who are totally head over heels about providing fantastic customer service, Indian companies are about providing least good service. Just a bit better than the competition. Latest example I have seen is Infibeam. They are an old player in online shopping in India. They’re more like Microsoft on online shopping, without deep pockets....

Free to Play is one category of games that I stay away from. No matter what, I like my games the classic way: I should be able to play them offline. They should not stop me from playing unnecessarily. I should be able to play without an online account requirement. I should not be banned from a significant portion of game just because I am not paying. And if you take a look at the games I play, there is no free to play title in there, except one: Injustice: Gods Among Us....

Yes, you read it right. It is Microsoft Word, that document editor from Microsoft. Seems like Microsoft is going in right direction in at least one department. I guess now I know why Microsoft is not updating Windows Live Writer, because they have a better (though paid) alternative that is much better. I have used Word a lot like any student and grammar checking is unmatched. Apart from that, it offers many good features....

Heard this from Col. Aman today: I was there when we exchanged bodies with Pakistan. Indian bodies were mutilated and in very bad condition. We returned Pakistani bodies wrapped with their flags and with their national anthem playing. Pakistani soldiers couldn’t look into our eyes. India won the war that day. This is what defines us, this is what makes us Indians. This makes me proud to be an Indian.

Sharda University Started Censoring Internet Recently, I ask students to protest!

This is the best game I’ve played on iPad and iPhone. It is simple, addictive and hard like anything. Even the easiest game mode is “Hard” followed by harder and hardest. And if you complete those, hardester and hardestest are in line. If you like simple games and want a challenge, get this game. Super Hexagon.

It is plainly the second best game I’ve ever played. Well, I am a bit biased towards Assassin’s Creed 2 because of its medieval setting (I love swords and blades) and a somewhere better character, Ezio. But Batman is not far behind. I love the approach. All the survey and analysis that Batman does while sitting comfortably on a Gargoyle is just great. It gives you a sense of being a predator....

We are like a grain of sand on a planet which is like a grain of sand in a galaxy which is like a grain of sand in the universe! What will you leave?

Ridiculous things happen. I just spent an hour troubleshooting my blog. TinyMCE was not working and I was really worried. I was about to switch this blog to Tumblr when I noticed something, many menus on Tumblr were not working as well. And a small bell in my head rang, “I am behind a proxy that is managed by idiots (my college staff, yes Sharda University, your IT staff is highly unqualified!...
