Song Review!

I may not own a mind that recognizes and appreciates the best of music (clearly..not with exams around!) but I do know of a few, for who music, is just a natural part of the concoction - apart from the 'sleep' 'eat' 'wash', called "life"  :)

Here's an interesting review done on "Ikthara" a captivating melody from the Hindi Movie "Wake up Sid"

Beware, Smart Phone Users!

I was emailed the follwing video which showed the riks involved when uploading photos online. So all you smart phone users...do set your settings on to a "safe" mode.

Personally I think it's all together wiser if parents didn't upload pics of their children online at all..at least not as their profile pics.

Goodbye, Steve Jobs.

The world has lost another visionary icon. One who made the world more connected, user-friendly and even stylish. Steve Jobs who passed away on Wed. at the age of 56, will forever remain as one of the best creative human beings who not only fought the limits but conquered them, who not only dreamed but led others into these dreams as well, who not only instilled a standard for communication technology but also became the god of it all.

He made all that seemed impossible, possible and throughout his life taught us, on how to prepare for the worst circumstances in life... he was a courageous soul, a devoted human being and above all an inspiring guidance to our future!

Thank you Steve Jobs, for the ever-so-wonderful things you gave us all..
