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.

The Book of Dreams

“Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. You must read it.” One of my High School Teachers told me these words. I had forgotten those words and the book. But after a glimpse through the PTC Mysore library i found the book. I decided to give it a try and the experience was amazing. Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” tell us the story of an Andalusian shepherd boy who is trying to find a treasure. It is an allegorical novel. It tries to communicate valuable messages to the readers metaphorically by using characters.  Through the story of the shepherd who went all the way back to the Egyptian pyramids to find his treasure the book inspires us to follow our heart and realise our dreams. Santiago is an Andalusian shepherd boy. His parents wanted him to be a priest. But he decides to follow his heart and become a shepherd instead as he loves travelling. He had a recurrent dream of a treasure which he could fi

Memories of PTC Mysore

So What is PTC Mysore be like? That’s a question I always asked my seniors. The best experience in your career, almost all of them had that reply. Anyway after hearing all those with huge hopes. I packed my bags to Mysore. “ It is an unforgettable experience. I wish I could attend the training in your place” my colleague and dear friend Linesh had made that comment before the day I left.  What awaited me was a very pleasant climate. Got an Uber to PTC and the first shock was waiting for me there. In my room one was from Bihar, one from Karnataka and Other one from Andhra. Oh my god! How will I talk with these people. That was my first thought. Anyway at the first day itself we visited the Mysore palace to see the lighting festival and it was awesome. The faculties were very strict. We were placed in Section E whose main faculty was Nataraj Sir. From the second day onwards we had Physical training in the morning. For a guy like me who can stay up till 4 but can’t wake up at 5

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.  

My initial impressions of the Poco F1

I am a huge Mi fan. But an even bigger fan of stock Android. So was waiting for the Mi A2 for an year. But when the Mi A2 didn't have a headphone jack I decided to bury that thought. Then I was thinking of One Plus 6. But the Honor play came in. I was in total confusion. My friend Tony Joseph who is also an Mi moderator suggested me to wait for the Poco F1 launch. Thanks bro, the wait was worth it. Face unlock-The Ir face unlock is simply amazing. My friend who is a one plus 6 user was really impressed with it. Speed is also on par with One Plus 6. The phone breezes through day to day tasks and even some Moderate games I threw at it like NFS most wanted and marvel future fight at high setting. There was no heating even after half an hour of intense gaming. Ram management is one area where miui has been traditionally weak. But here it seems to very optimised. Ram management is good. Miui 9 for poco is well optimised and smooth   The new poco launcher is
