On an average weekday, I spend about 10 hours on my computer. I am glad that I have deaddicted myself off Twitter and Facebook, making me check my mobile for not over half hour a day. It is good to give my eyes a break from the screen. This week I tried indulging with a […]
People usually frame the first dollar they earned for the sake of good memory and motivation. I was going through my dusty storage cupboard and happened to spot my first ever computer related hardware. It took me on a ride down the memory lane. Back in late 1980’s the only time I could use a […]

I rekindled the joy of growing plants in my tiny balcony. I posted pictures of it with a hash tag #happinessGarden on Instagram (crossposted to twitter and FB as well). I augmented this with another experiment and hobby – indoor composting of kitchen waste. I received a lot of encouraging comments and my teachers and […]

As the world tries to recover back from the holiday season and new year celebrations, I enjoy my most eventful day of the year. The Second of January, 2019 is special for these reasons.
