Why we should stop blind fanboyism

A lot of people are buying smartphones out of blind fanboyism. People often buy smartphones without looking at what kind of specifications these devices have. For example what kind of SoCs (System on a Chip) these phones use. So they buy a device with a bad processor and after one or 2 months these devices started hanging and they blame Android.

 I had a friend who was a blind Nokia fan. He purchased Nokia N8 at the heights of Android popularity in 2012 and later found out painfully that Symbian OS is dying. Another friend of mine bought a Windows phone just so that he could own a Nokia device. When we using popular apps like Firefox or Chrome he was left out. When we were playing multiplayer games like Clash of Clans and Mini militia he was again left out.

 Then after Collapse of Nokia and HMD Global buying Nokia and deciding to release Android phones the guy decided to buy Android phones made buy Nokia. So he went for Nokia 5 with a Snapdragon 430 processor. It was overpriced at 15,000 INR and only had 2GB rams. Where superior phones like Moto G5s plus was available at 16,000 INR with superior Snapdragon 625 Chipset. Stop blindly following brands without looking at specifications, friends. You will regret these decisions later.

The unsung heroes

I always wanted to write about this part of my life. As a tribute to my dearest teachers. When i was a child i was a very lean little child. I was not really good at anything.

When i was a little i heard stories like Mathematics is the queen of all sciences, smart people know math and all. I really liked math. It was sort of an escapism for me. I used to think even though i am bad at everything, but at least if i am good at math, i must be smart. It was like my little fortress of hope.  After 4th standard i joined an aided school in English medium. I knew little to no English and then came that dark day in my life. Our Math teacher gave us some problems to solve. When the results came, me and a friend of mine had the lowest marks. I believe it was 2 out of 15. We were asked to stand up in class for the whole period.  I was so ...

Visited Thunchan Memorial Research Center

Visited Thunchan memorial research center today (Nov 11,2018) with my brother. It is located at Thunchan Parambu, Tirur. The facilty displayed many equipment used in old times in Kerala like Musical instruments of that time. Ancient scripts of malayalam "Vattezhuth" and "Kolezhuth" really amazed me. It also had Pictures and Paintings of many great writers of Malayalam literature. A description about their contribution and important works was also attached. It was a wonderful experience. Bought back memories of my childhood and malayalam classes during the school days.  Proud to be a native of the land of Thunchath Ramanujan Ezhuthachan. NB- Writing this in English just because i would like to stick with English in this blog.

Tech companies misleading users

The Redmi note 6 pro has one of the best cameras in the 10k-15k price range. But still comparing its camera to phones like Pixel 3 is fake marketing. It is used to mislead people who don't have much awareness of technology. Companies needs to stay away from this.
