Pencil

Where is my pencil? Heck! It was here just a moment ago on my table. Oh! It must be under this book. No! It isn't there. OK then it must be under that book. Hiding from my searchlights. But Na! not there either. Try looking for it in your graduation mug which holds all your writing ad highlighting weaponry. Alas! can't see it there. Hell where has the damn pencil vanished? Its not a needle and nor is my table a haystack that I can't find one simple looking pencil. Then there is only one more possibility and that is you must have dropped it off the table. It must have slipped or something. Oh no! Now I will have to move myself _my so important self _ and look for it under the table. Well I am not ready to undertake this huge task. Atleast not now. It is a gigantic, mammoth of a thing to move myself and look for it down there. Understandably I am not ready for this endeavour right now. Let us postpone it till some other time and use a spare pencil for the moment. Now thats some idea!
Having left the mystery a bit unsolved I shook off all the thoughts of finding my lost pencil and moved my hand towards the mug to fetch the other one. My searchlights fell upon my reaching hand and lo and behold! I see a remarkable sight. A miracle of sorts. There is my lost pencil, tucked in between my fingers like a cigarette in a chain smoker's hand while all the while I had gone crazy looking for it all around me.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...
