Some lighter moment!

Yesterday was full of leadership advice in the form of anecdote, so I thought, I should tone down to something lighter today. And here it is -> 2 jokes back-to-back. Do read & enjoy maadi!
Joke Number 1:
A South Indian software engineer named "Anantharaman Subbaraman" arrived at American Consulate for a visa interview. He ended up waiting for 2 hours for his name to be called by the authorities.

He got super bored, pissed off & irritated seeing rest of candidates move past him every passing minute. So finally he walked up to a visa processing window & asked the authority why his name was never called. The authority told him that, they have been calling his name for the past 1 hour and a half, but he never responded back.
The reason was made clear later when the authority pronounced his name as,  
"Anotherman Superman" instead of "Anantharaman Subbaraman". :-)

Joke Number 2:
A beautiful couple gave birth to a child. And a year later on his B-Day, the father asked his child, "What gift do u want?" Child said, "Ping pong ball."
On his second birthday, the father asked, "What gift do u want?" Child said, "Ping pong ball."
On his 24th birthday, the father asked, "What gift do you want?" Son said "Ping pong ball."
The son got married and at his honeymoon, his wife asked, "What do u want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."
On their 10th anniversary, his wife asked, "What gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."

When his kids become older, and on his 40th birthday, they asked, "Father, what gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."
Then, on his 79th birthday his kids asked again, "Father, what gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."

Finally on his deathbed, all the people from whom he took ping pong balls, came to him and asked, "Why did you ask for ping pong balls all the time?" He said," I asked for a ping pong ball on every birthday because............"

And he died… before he could tell the reason!

    1. I know, when I was reading the second one(say, couple of years back), all i wanted to do was scroll straight to the end, but there was no end :-)

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 ...
