AVATAR

So last friday, mom calls me from office and says “Wanna go see Avatar?” “Sure”, I say, “if we can get a ticket!” So, we got the ticket and off we went. 3 hours and 30 minutes later, we emerged from the movie theater. Post the smiles on peoples’ faces, post the applause that the [...]

Windoze Format – Paradise Lost!

So I love to install programs and then uninstall them and do a lot of masti with my laptop! The end result – some many GBs of space gets cluttered with some shit data (which I can never locate and delete manually) which ends up clogging my disk space… let it also be known that [...]

I salute you Mr. Murphy, especially when you said this: ‘Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong’! You are truly one heck of a wise man!
