"Poori" on Fire!

-
It was a usual weekend where we were thinking of rejuvenating our taste buds by cooking Indian Fried Bonanza Dish "Poori Chole". The skilled ladies prepared "Chole" and started cooking hot "Poori"s in full flow in almost burning cooking oil.

Generally this process is accompanied with lot of smoky showdown. While we were enjoying the delicacy, suddenly Fire Alarm started beeping so hard that we had to cover our eardrums with our hands. But that didn't deter our foodie spirits and we continued enjoying the food, that its due to the "Poori"s which were on fire! We were surprised to see that FireAlarm was ringing just outside our apartment. Straight away we made an assumption that its due to our "Smoky Showdown"!

Then next moment took us by surprise when we heard the FireBrigade siren. We were simply shocked that who in the hell would call Fire Brigade just to cool down our "Delicacy" process. In order to keep our innocence intact we switched off the burner, hid the pan with another dish. Got ready to get outside, wore shoes (yes we had lot of time to wear shoes ;) ) and jackets and ran outside (just to make sure we look innocent).

As soon as we were outside we realized that there was really a situation at the first floor where an apartment had caught fire. We took a sigh of relief realizing that our "Poori"s were innocent and started laughing like anything.

Now when ever we will have "Poori Chole" we will remember this incident.

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
