This blog stems due to many reasons: I have started driving , Metro rail construction in Bangalore, one of my best friends stays close by and finally the fact that we have become slaves of technology. So the friend I am talking about, stays at a distance of 9-10-11 km from my place, depending on…

Facebook Post Linkage
Well this requirement stemmed from my inability to link my query on Uber India page on Facebook to a post on my Facebook page. So the situation is thus: We Uber Pool while back from work. It’s been close to 3 months and we had always been at max 3 passengers during our pool ride….
Tag Emails
I was tired of creating folders and moving mails to their respective place, manually. Yeah, I am aware of so-called filters, rules, but none of them work on a concept – it’s always a categorization synonymous with the caste system in India – if you are from so and so, you can sit here, if…
