iLost no more

With the release of the new Google Maps on iOS today I see no reason for you or any of your fellow travelers to be lost anymore.

This all began with creating a better system to navigate this globe. Columbus was the only person who was happy getting lost. Apart from him you will never come across ANYONE who would voluntarily want to land up in the middle of a deserted national park. Also the Australian police had to rescue 6 people from the middle of the national park. So its no surprise that they've warned motorists from using iOS maps in Australia.

So fret no more my fellow Apple lovers, who are caught up with your user experience so much that you never begin to notice the little detail called "Google always kick Apple's butt at real life applications".

Try this for starters : "Google Voice Search on Android" and "Siri search". ( After you are done fixing her for 'Did you mean .... ?' come back and post your review here.

5 things for you to do when you are drunk


  1. Call a random number : Well you might as well make use of the opportunity that you've in hand . You could probably bump into some you always wanted to meet . Meet the one you've always wanted to be with . Though it is highly unexpected that you meet someone you actually want to but still who gives a heck that you meet him/her or not , still worth a try calling them up in the middle of the night and telling them that its a wrong number . Well it is forbidden to do so if you are already committed to someone so better be ready to face the music if you're caught doing so .
  2. Listen to classical music : Yes it might sound very awkward to you right now since you ain't high enough but yes you should totally try this one when you are tipsy . You'll have this feeling of being highly elated with extra attention to the lyrics that start stacking in your head . You could always add a bit of dance to those lyrics my man - perhaps a small treat for the onlookers .
  3. Wait for your ride at a local bar : You were expecting to get a ride back home but NO in this particular city you won't get a ride until you are are living somewhere in South Mumbai so stop cribbing and wait for you ride to drop you back home . You will always love the ride back since you can get along with your cab driver and get to know about the real problems in his life that he is facing e.g. His problem with the hernia that he just had extracted .
  4. Drunk Texting / Blogging  ( Courtesy - White Bhabhi  ) : You were expecting to tell someone that you've been waiting to tell them for a long time but you never had the balls to do it . So I guess this is where you go do it . You pick up your phone/laptop and write to whomsoever it may concern that they are not actually doing so well atleast not in your perspective . And if they ever disapprove you could just get away with telling them you were drunk .
  5. Go do a Amy Winehouse : This one is totally out of context ; never to be performed but if you really want it then try it once . Get yourself so drunk that the more you try to think about last night it never occurs to you that there was actually a last night at all . 
P.S. No intentions for hurting the sentiments of the dead being caused here . Amy Winehouse was a great artist indeed .

The will to move on

A few days ago I made a promise to myself that I would blog about a lot of things everyday . But that promise did not stand its ground for too long . The most I could write about is some funny things here and some there but last week after the serial blasts in Mumbai I had nothing to build my conversations to . I feared that a lot of sentiments were attached to this city that never sleeps .

People hailing from different parts of the country stepped in this city of hope expecting to earn their daily bread . Yes ' hope' , strange but that was exactly what kept them going . A hope for a better living . But now those are accompanied by fear  . The fear of living their dream while they stay alive . We ought to know the enemy is within us . Staying aware about any suspicious activities in and around our neighbourhood is what we need to work on . That extra mile needs to be traveled to keep ourselves safe . A family shall bless you for being the person who saved the day , every-fucking-day of their lives !
