The year isn’t 3333 or some such incredible zoom into the future. The future that I see clearly in my mind isn’t even ten years later. And yet I cannot possibly pinpoint the exact day or month or year. All I can say is that the real future is near, quite near. The future where...
A dramatic revelation by Nargis Fakhri
You’ve missed it all. You’ve missed the drama. You’ve missed all that the gorgeous Nargis Fakhri revealed on the 16th of April 2014. You’ve missed the fascinated look in her eyes. You’ve missed her swirls and the twirls onstage. You’ve missed the husky tone in which she said: ‘I love ChatON.’ A part of me...
The poetry of logical ideas
Life is not an artistic mystery, but a mathematical equation. Specky, my wife says so. She even quotes Albert Einstein: “If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.” And whenever she does that, I just...
This isn’t gadget gluttony!
What differentiates the real gadget connoisseur from the gadget glutton? Let me explain. Gadget gluttony is a meaningless hoarding of gadgets with little or no respect for technology and innovations… and a gadget connoisseur, on the other hand is one who dives into the uber cool and ultra modern and everything in between and remains...
A Mega Sunday
How will I describe a ‘mega’ Sunday? Lots of things to eat? No. Getting up late and being lazy the entire day? No. Mall hopping? No. Winning a few more prizes on twitter? No. This Sunday has become MEGA because it felt great bringing the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 & 6.3, my Nikon D5100, the...
The mystery of the half-empty glass
‘There is a Sherlock Holmes hidden in each of us… well, well, let’s say it is Miss Marple, if that pleases you. It could be 007 or Hercule Poirot or even one of the Famous Five that Enid Blyton gave us all. The point is that this spirit of investigation is inside us all. We...
The super salesman
Review of Samsung Galaxy S4 Well, the first truth that mobile companies need to realise is that they need super salesmen besides their super researchers, super designers, super technicians, and super strategists. The reason is that despite all the great innovations that a new mobile device may have, the consumer is generally either too far...
The galaxy is poised to reveal just a bit more now!
Yes, it’s true. Yes, we’re finally poised to learn a bit more about another aspect of the galaxy. ‘Galaxy? You mean the one with all the stars?’ ‘Yes, I mean the galaxy with all the stars including the S II and the SIII.’ Ah! So it is Samsung once again ready to launch a user...
GRAND entry can be smart as well
What is a grand entry all about? Fanfare, joyous moods, perceived advantages, interactive advantages, scope to move ahead, possibilities, favourable moments, and an accent on ascent are all in one way or the other associated with a GRAND entry. Well, almost all of them are there with the new smartphone that Samsung has just introduced:...
A Grand Galaxy?
The galaxy isn’t just an enigma… it is a grand enigma. Something that towers above all else. Here is one short poem dedicated to the GRAND GALAXY… Stars twinkle and planets go about doing Whatever it is that they do best And some Galaxy majestically embraces them all Helping them shine and reach out To...
Defending smartphones is easy
Does a new smartphone in your hands really signify that you are one with a great tech lifestyle? I’m asking this question because wherever I go I find people holding their mobile phone as if it were something that could take them a notch or two beyond all the other ‘lesser mortals’! Let us go...
Photo instincts and a camera phone
Have we suddenly had some genetic mutation as a nation to have taken to photography in such a big way? I ask this because I find almost everyone talking about photography in a knowledgeable way. There are just too many people wanting to be called the experts in photography. Photo exhibitions are literally crammed inside...
