THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL IN EACH AND EVERYONE'S LIFE - TIME MANAGEMENT! Once upon a time, I took to PC gaming for stress busting purposes and started to play Warcraft, a very addictive game. Slowly I got addicted to gaming so much that one day I played the game for 5 hours flat! I realized too much time has been wasted on this and I could not complete some critical tasks.  I felt awful about the wasted time which could not be brought back at any cost. I was pondering over my loss of not doing important tasks on time and delaying them until the last minute and completing them under tremendous pressure.  I realized my mistake and wanted to spring back to my feet. I started my research on Time Management. I started practicing it and now I feel super productive and really great in my work and in my life. After trying all the methods and testing them, I am presenting the same here in a nutshell: First, I highly recommend my blog viewers to watch th...

  vs  A few years ago, there was a huge craze for so-called 'Modern Art.'  Modern Sculpture, Modern Painting, what not. I started seeing too much about this stupidity in Mumbai, Hyderabad, etc., Modern Art  My definition: It looks bizarre, abnormal and does not involve any talent. Take a look at these for yourself and judge: This picture is of 'veiled lady' sculpture, a replica present at Salar Jung Museum. I was stunned by its beauty because, at first look, the statue seemed as if there is a thin cloth draped on a woman's face. It is pure solid marble! This, I feel, is pure talent and I have not seen such a stunning art again. Probably this is from Rennaissance period. What do you term this?  Even a child can do something better than this! This is a painting --> What is this? -> Ugly, warped and depressing! Maybe a stuff for so-called 'Intellectuals' but for sane people, ...

There is no need to stress on the utility of Wikipedia . I am an avid Wiki reader and not a single day passes without me opening the website. Somewhere I came across Wikiwand and tried it. Amazing! It became so handy and helpful to me that I decided to write a small post about it so that the readers can benefit from it. Wikiwand - This Chrome extension tool is fantastic. It gives me an amazing experience while reading The best and most useful feature of this tool is that if I hover my cursor on any hyperlink related to Wikipedia, a small preview window comes into view displaying a short description from the parent article. This feature reduces the effort to look up each and every unknown term and is immensely useful. Do try it out:     http://www.wikiwand.com/

I got my inspiration to write this post as I was reading about Israeli drones which are currently being used by India in warfare.  The technology used is really amazing! I wanted to put up a post about these amazing gadgets, Above Pic: Dassault nEUROn Israeli Drones: I feel USA drones like predator, reaper, etc., are nothing in front of these Israeli suicide drones Even though each drone is designed for a specific purpose, the strategic idea behind these drones is really amazing and noteworthy. IAI Harop (Suicide Drone!)  It is an anti-radiation drone that can autonomously home in on radio emissions. Rather than holding a separate  high-explosive   warhead , the drone itself is the main munition. This  SEAD -optimised UCAV is designed to loiter the battlefield and attack targets by self-destructing into them. [1]  The drone can either operate fully autonomously, using its  anti-radar  homing system, or it can take a man-in-the...

Writing this post after a long time... I have recently experimented with this platform and I am really impressed with this platform and decided to write a post on this. So here we go: Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, - These are all e-commerce platforms which changed our lives. They provide a wide range of products to customers around the world. But they do not provide all sorts of products. Suppose you are a producer of a unique product like some hand-made soap, it is one thing to have your own showroom and trying to create sales. It is something else to sell online. If you want to go sell online, there are few options like google shopping, these above mentioned platforms  or your own e-commerce website. Having your own e-commerce is one of the best as you have complete control of your products, sales, etc and you can create your own unique brand. But here comes the problem - You need to create a website hiring developers, maintain the website and everything else....

Today, I was asked a very beautiful Logic Question by a very brilliant person. I took a minute to think about it and solve it. But then I was soo amazed at my own intelligence and aptitude that I am posting about the problem and my solution. (Sorry for bragging but I wonder how a brain works if not by divine intellect.) Here is the question: Question: You have got 90 pool balls which look completely identical in shape, size and weight. Only one ball in the complete set has a lighter mass. You also have a weighing machine. Tell me a way where you can find the anomalous ball in least number of iterations (steps). Well, I have never come across such a puzzle till now, and was a bit dazed in such a scenario. Then I trusted myself and started to think, and the solution was brilliant: Doing it linearly weighing each ball takes 89 iterations. My solution: Divide the entire set of 90 balls into 45 each, Weigh them on the weighing machine. You get the set containing the ball with li...

There are many content editors for blogging on Mac platforms. But there are almost none for Windows. I have two blogs : One for WordPress and one in Blogger. The editors in both of them suck and I needed a very robust content editor to do all my changes and publish them in one stroke. Well, MS Word is one of the best content editors ever created. Why not use it for blogs? After trying very hard, I came up with the following solution: Blogger is not supported in Word 2013 though it has provision to enable it. According to my observations, Google is implementing 2-page authentication which is failing the authentication process through MS Word. This is according to my guess after running few trial and error methods. Now why WordPress Authentication fails? Well, I solved it and it is really a silly workaround. Let us have a detailed workaround: You click Manage Accounts in MS Word and select New and select WordPress Now If you click on next, you will get to the following win...
