A new phone demystified
No, this small discussion did not take place in a lift. Nor were we travelling on a Delhi bus. Well, not while flying to an exotic location. And not even at a party while sipping a chilled wine. This happened on a chat forum where no one really knew anyone. These people had strange names...

Can you write poetry on Ultrabooks? I can!
Yes, I can actually write poems on even Ultrabooks! I realised this this week when I saw a few blog posts where the writers had posted their luscious pictures with ultrabooks in a rather unique way. I said to myself: ‘Now this is indeed a fashion statement!’ Then I saw not one, but a few...
My Tab, Technology, and a few Truths
Is technology ever far away from us? No, not really. You see it everywhere. Even in rural areas… the form of technology may change but it is there for sure. And technology also tends to affect us all in one way or the other. I remember that day when we were sitting in our study...
Focus well… to see the beauty in technology
When I have my camera in my hands I am a totally different person. I see what I otherwise would never possibly have seen. And then I use my camera to capture shots that normally not many focus on. For instance, today at the launch presentation of the Samsung Galaxy SIII in Le Meridien in...
S-Fun is… funADs on the move!
She explained to me what wild nights really mean… one sultry afternoon in Connaught Place. I had a short and a rather revealing conversation with a teenage friend of mine as I sat munching my favourite Tuna Sub in CP. ‘Why do you guys say all the time that you’re having fun,’ I asked, ‘...
Tech blogging and the cult of copying!
I was telling a friend about the need to find your own expression when it comes to writing when the discussion took a sudden turn towards a rather unexpected aspect though I wouldn’t call it entirely bizarre. ‘You can be comfortable with only your style of writing,’ I said, ‘and this comes only when you...
The hyperfocal distance in a friendship
Trip: Seoul. December 2011. It is easy to imagine that a friendly relationship between a professional photographer and one who intends to be interested in this art would begin somewhat like this… ‘Nice camera there…’ ‘Well, it is an SLR with a 18-300 lens kit.’ ‘Oh! I have one that I just point and shoot...
The Samsung Crossword
The mobilers day at Seoul in Korea was literally like a mystery being revealed to us layer by layer, idea by idea, innovation by innovation… there was wonder in our eyes, awe in our minds, and our faces were a mix of gasps and smiles. All this actually began right from the moment we landed...
Ravana lost as he never had a Samsung Tab
No, King Dasharatha wasn’t really tech-savvy but he wanted his sons to be well-versed with the tech-arts of the day. He had made sure that they learn all the relevant martial arts, imbibe the pathways prescribed in the religious texts, and be strong in body and mind. He himself was a rather like a proactive...
Yes, it is possible to fall in love with a gadget!
He asked her, “How do I know if I’m in love with you or not?” and without pausing to think, she replied, “If you have to ask me then you’re not.” No, these aren’t lines about to take you on a roller-coaster ride of some romance paperback. These are lines that I asked myself as...
