#UseYourAnd and Take a Stand

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa
We are all a bit sexist in a way. Whenever we see a woman who achieved something, we label them. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta is known for her service, Marie Skłodowska-Curie is known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. It is true that they excelled in their fields, but it doesn't mean that is all they are. Every woman can be much more than they are. CEO of a successful company can also be a guitarist, a good friend, caring mother and much more. We should tut an end to the one-dimensional labels that limit their potential to dull their radiance.


So Gillette Venus came up with a campaign #UseYourAnd. They invite everyone to take a stand against one-dimensional labeling on Women.

So doing my small part, I have decide to write about this woman I know. For every human born in this world, the first woman they know is Mother. Yes, I am going to talk about my mother and she is the greatest person I ever know. She is not a corporate lady nor a celebrity so the world might not know about her and appreciate her, but she means the world to me. She is a very hard working woman and being a small farmer her hard work might not have taken to great heights, but everyone in our village knows that she is hardworking. She is not only a hard working person but also a caring mother. She knows what is best for me and my brother. She is the best mom in the world. She is also the best daughter. My grand parents love her so much and she was by their side when they needed her. That may sound so normal to you, but after marriage, many women in our village will always stick with her husbands family. They do so much in her new family and they forget the parents who raised her. But my mom always takes care of her parents. That doesn't mean she care about my father's family less. She looked after her mother-in-law and father-in-law as her own parents. My parents are the happiest couple I've ever come across. My point is that women are much more than we think. There is no single label that can describe her. There are many things that describe her. My mom is a good farmer, mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law and much more. 



So next time if you see a lady and if she is an actress, a musician, politician, a business woman, a poet, they are much more. They could be a politician and musician. They could be an actress and a poet.

#GoSleeekASUSexperience ( Asus IndiBlogger Meet 2015 - Bangalore Edition )

When I read the email for "New HAPPY HOUR - Asus GO SLEEK!" I was pretty excited. But before I reached home and started on my blog post, there was already a hundred entries. Unlike the previous happy hours, this time, we not only get a voucher, but also a special invite to "Asus IndiBlogger Meet 2015 - Bangalore Edition."  This is going to be the first IndiBlogger Meet of 2015 in Bangalore and it is happening here after a very long time. I didn't want to miss it. So I submitted the post for the happy hour anyway, but unfortunately it didn't make it to the first 100 entries. I was very disappointed that I cannot attend the Indiblogger meet. But thank god, the generous organizers of the meet sent me an invite!

It was held in ITC Gardenia, Bangalore on Friday January 30, 2015 - 5:30 PM. I was in Coimbatore the previous day and since I hadn't reserved the train ticket, I had to travel in unreserved compartment from Coimbatore to Bangalore. But I knew it will be worth it.

I was there a bit early and I was very excited, but I was very sad. Yes, I had lost my phone in Train. :( I had disabled the GPS and Mobile data too, so I wasn't able to locate it. But once we entered the Mysore hall, ITC Gardenia I forgot about everything. I was soon "headbanging" and I lost myself in music. 
Many people had turned out and it was indeed a big meet, but none of us were "meat in the room." They had planned the events accordingly so that everyone will be entertained and it made me feel like I am part of something big. It was a pretty nice game. We have to meet as many people there as possible and we had to convince/persuade them to give us a personal item of theirs. I collected only few but there were folks who collected more than 20 items in 15 minutes. Few folks collected signatures too! 

Then they briefed about the two band new products recently launched by ASUS. Yes, they are ASUS All In One PC ET2040 and ASUS EeeBook X205TA. To know more about these, you may refer to : http://digiman.myfirstattempt.com/2015/01/it-takes-me-week-to-make-it-up-asus-all.html.

Then we played a interesting team game. We had to create a advertisement that promotes blogging. We were divided into five teams and everyone in team contributed to it. The best team is supposed to win something and I am waiting for its result. 

Above all, we had chance to try the ASUS All In One PC ET2040 and ASUS EeeBook X205TA first hand. ASUS EeeBook X205TA looks so amazing. It was unbelievably thin and light weight. ASUS All In One PC ET2040 has a great display, it was incredibly fast and its gesture control was awesome. I am very sure that I want both of these gadgets for me. 

Next was dinner. But I was in rush. :( I had to meet a friend, so I just had the starters and I headed home. 

Thanks to Indiblogger for organizing this meet and thanks to Asus for sponsoring it.

Pay extra for making VoIP calls using Airtel’s mobile internet

Airtel users can suck it.
I hated Airtel to the core from the beginning. It 's been almost 8 years since I 've used Airtel network. It is not the only network I hate, but I definitely hate it.
Though I did not use it directly, I have few friends / room mates / acquaintances who uses Airtel and I know for sure that it sucks to be a airtel user.
Now I have got just one more reason to piss them off.
Airtel now charges for VoIP data on Skype, Viber and other apps even with data packs.
Yes, Pay extra for making calls using Airtel’s mobile internet.


update: Airtel pulled back its plan to charge extra for VoIP calls

We finally have Virtual Desktops in Windows 10

Yes, it is the Virtual desktop. If you have used GNOME or KDE or any desktop on GNU/Linux for that case, you must be aware of the Workspaces. They are wonderful and now we have them in Windows 10. It finally seems like Microsoft listened to our feedbacks.

This is a great feature that will help us in multitasking. If you open a lot of programs at once, this feature allows you to keep them organized.
