Ever wanted to become a doctor?

Here is a question - how many of us wanted to become a doctor? I'm sure one in every 5 kids at least would have dreamt of becoming one during their school days, but in reality we would have settled down with whatever came our way or the choice would have been according to our percentile that we scored in our board examinations. I'm sure Indian parents provide only 2 choices to their kids, either you become a doctor or an engineer.(Period)
So in a world with less choices we all studied our heart out, attended umpteen number of tuitions, special classes & scored some good mark & got into say engineering(in my case & many others). I have always been thinking about that one thing, "what it takes to be a doctor -- how many lives would we be playing with, how many lives would we have saved, how many times would we have seen somebody dying in our own hands.....wow. The very thought of being a doctor makes me think, they are one of a kind who gets the pleasure of treating diseases and (not to forget) they are the receivers of blessings from the patients who recovered well and also the receivers of flak and ridicule from the ones who did not respond to the treatment, overall it is a wonderful career with humongous amount of satisfaction to say the least.
Now, coming to this American medical comedy/drama series "Scrubs", if the above said paragraphs define you or feel like you, then go ahead and watch this series - it is sure to bring happiness, sadness, questions, dilemmas, love, hatred, fun and above all the series gives a feel-good picture of how your life would have been had you been a doctor. The acting skills of Zach Braff(Intern doctor) , John C. McGinley(Chief doctor) are commendable. Give it a try!

Have we lost our brain power to technology?

How many times a day do we use some form of technology in life? Pretty much every minute: be it the usage of smart phones, laptops, tablets, phablets,...etc. We got so much used to it that sometimes we do not see the answer to a simple problem lying right in front of us. As much as I love technology and anything to do with it, I do believe in the fact that - " Technology made us all lazy, to an extent ". To get back to our humanness, we have to use only those entities which are necessary and let go off the rest. If that is not possible, then take a " technology break " once a month - see how beautiful the day turns out to be! I did one complete day, and I was so peaceful, Zen like! If somebody asks me to tell them the current-local-time , although I wear my watch all the time, I go straight to my phone, it is not that I cannot read time, it is just that my phone displays it for me. What can I say? Laziness personified! I'm sure many of you would have come across...

RIP 'Google Reader' and what next?

We all know ' Google Reader ' would shut it's service down on the 1st of July this year. If you are not aware, then try logging into Reader, you get a popup reminder like the one shown in the picture below. There are so many people, who logs into Reader as the first thing in the morning than logging into their own blogs, for them this shut down means letting go of a helping hand. And the worst thing is, there are umpteen number of alternatives available in the market for free, so which one to choose? To be honest with you, there are pluses and minuses in each and every product. But there are 2 Reader alternatives which come close to Google Reader and that is Feedly and Digg ! I'm somehow inclined to try Feedly , so here I have jotted down some basic information to get started. If you already are using some other alternative, good for you! - You don't have to read further, coz this post is only about Feedly! Ok, So why do you think Google is shutting down the Reade...

Google Glass - All that you might want to know!

Google showcased the concept of " Google Glass " in 2012, but for the past couple of months people( 500 to 600 so far ) started using the Glass and have come up with mixed reviews, with the feedback slightly tilting towards the negative side. Well, it is just a beta version(a test version)! The good thing about Google is that, they have sold Glasses only to app developers, testers and couple more and not to general public. Google is open to feedback and ready to fix problems and make them fool proof, before selling them to general public. I have been following this topic for quite sometime now and have read nearly 100 articles on this. Hence, I'm more or less capable of imparting some knowledge gained theoretically and sharing the same here. Is it a computer, a tablet, a phone or what on earth is ' Google Glass' ? Google Glass is a head-mounted wearable technology(or a computer) that easily rests on your nose and ears very similar to a pair of glasses, only that ...
