Fun with Mr.Acne


Can somebody have fun with Acne? Simple answer, Nope. But there can be funny incidents under the purview of Acne, right?  Here is one:
I like a clean face, but yearly once a single pimple from no where pops up & stays in some part of my face & takes a sojourn for a week or two & goes off. This is a yearly ritual for Mr.Acne & he considers my face as a vacation spot. I'm sure, some of you can relate to this.
I had a presentation to give to a set of colleagues on a Friday, so I prepared damn well & was oozing with confidence as always. The day before the presentation, I got up in the morning only to see my unwelcomed guest Mr Acne who had already broken into my face. Disgruntled & sad 'me' ran towards "God of Internet", yes you guessed it right, I opened 'Google' & started searching a quick fix to get rid of my single acne within 24 hours. Search went on for 5 minutes & I happen to stumble upon an advice by one of those Beauty Gurus(Not gonna name her!). Guess what she had written on her site, "Apply a dab of tooth paste onto the acne to get a quick fix". And she had explained what is the content in tooth paste that does this magic fix. I was so damn satisfied with her explanation.

I was like: Man, why didn't I ever think of this! It was Thursday night, I washed my face & applied a dab of 'Colgate' paste on to the acne which was hardly visible. I slept happily that night, without knowing what was waiting for me the next day.

The alarm rang sharp at 6:00 AM & I ran to the mirror expecting a clean face. Boy, what was I thinking!
To my shock, I saw my teeny-tiny-not-so-visible acne grown double folded & that too pitch black in color, guess what had happened, the tooth paste burnt down my acne! The only other thing missing was a smoke :-) - It would have looked like a house burning down otherwise!! Ah, can this get any worser on a day I should look my best! I was scolding the 'Beauty Guru' profusely. Well, the presentation went just fine, but all through out I was very conscious to not to turn right. It took nearly a month to get back my skin. I had a good laugh sharing the story with my cousin. You know, we sail through every trouble one way or the other, don't we?

So the take-away from this incident is that,
NEVER EVER APPLY TOOTH PASTE ON YOUR ACNE(Period)

      Thanks Sanjay!, Self-depreciation is the best form of humor :-)
      Well, you know what, If I dunno something - the first thing I do is open up a google window, so yes to me Google is "God of Internet"! But I agree that not everybody considers that.

      Thanks Julie, I totally agree that every skin type varies & the ones which suits a particular skin type may not suit the others, anyways just wanna pass on the wisdom that I attained ;-) by testing on myself!! Yes, I do a lot of testing on me.

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

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal

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
