The day when I lost two cell phones in a row !

-
It was 26th December 2007, time 6:00 am when I reached Old Delhi station. I started gathering my stuff like blanket, cap, glasses, iPod, "cellphone" and my bag. I was very sure that at last this time I have placed everything in the right place. I carried my heavy bag on the shoulders and stepped out of my coach. The moment I stepped out I sensed that I haven't picked my cellphone from the berth I went back to get it but in that short span some one had taken it away. It hurt me a lot because I loved that phone. It is really very strange that how we attach our emotions to non-living things.
Then in the evening I decided to buy a new phone. I went to the store and bought a new phone. Inserted my best friend's SIM in it. I was happy while coming back to my flat. Then I decided to buy a new SIM. I went to the mobile store bought a new SIM and put my hand in the pocket to get the new phone to insert new SIM in it, and to my astonishment it was not there. I thought that my day cannot get worse than this. I have lost a brand new cellphone. I really felt like cursing my self. The agony of loosing the cellphone was nothing in front of loosing my best friends' SIM card. Feeling of being careless was pinching me harder than the monetary loss.

When such incidents take place in our lives we tend to forget all our spiritual lessons and become very sad and disappointed. Every thing belongs to God. We cry on everything that he takes away, rather than thanking him for everything he has given us.

Thank you God.
Thank you for making my life so beautiful.

Tryst with Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 4

Backdrop I had bought Nexus 4 with two objectives in the mind. One that I wanted a core Google experience and secondly that the Ubuntu Touch OS could be installed on Nexus 4 hardware. Initially when the phone was new I was afraid to experiment and play with it so I kept avoiding the installation of Ubuntu Touch developer preview as it was unstable and I did not want to take associated risk of bricking my phone. But my recent screen replacement gig gave me enough confidence to finally go for it. Installing Desktop OS for Mobile OS So first I decided to install Ubuntu Desktop OS on my Laptop. I thought it would be way easier than setting up the prerequisite environment on Windows OS. Initially I thought of dual booting my laptop using wubi  But I found out that it is not supported with the latest version of Ubuntu. So I decided to do it using a bootable USB drive. I made the bootable disk using LiLi USB Creator software . Things were going fine but somehow I was not happy to

Happiness is not linked with location!

India is a rapidly developing software hub. It has young and intelligent workforce with huge potential. Many of them consider onsite opportunities in US/Europe/Other regions to be catalyst for better career, better facilities, good money and hence "happiness". To a large extent it is true. But more than the shift of location, it is the shift of state of mind, which is responsible for the increase in "happiness" quotient. When the "Mind" is contented with what it has, it will be happy. If the "Mind" is at peace then it does not matter where you work and live. You will be happy. Happiness is not linked with "Geographic Location" it is just a state of "Mind". photo credit: Dawn Ashley via photopin cc

The time when I replaced Nexus 4 Digitizer/LCD Assembly!

I have always been a fan of Android Nexus Series of Phones. I had got mine (Nexus 4) almost 2 years back. Till last week it was going strong and I was loving it more than ever with new Lollipop update. But the destiny had something else in store for it. It got washed in water accidentally and also fell hard on the volume button. This debacle resulted in non-functional touch screen in the bottom area where "home, back & recent" soft touch keys come up. The volume rocker also stopped functioning. Though the condition was not totally out of hand because most part of the touch screen was functional. So for temporary workaround I installed Handy Soft Keys , an android app which lets you have pie menu on the screen to simulate Home, Back and Recent Operations. But ergonomically it was pretty annoying and time consuming. So I finally decided to find Nexus 4 repair center. I found it in a near by Mall. But discovering their fees (around $170) made me realize that I wi
