Downloading For Dummies: Torrents

2008-05-28T01:30:00.011+05:30

Recently Goa has been blessed with some awesome internet speeds, but not many are making optimum utilization of these speeds. If one is offered with 2 mbps, he shouldn’t waste time in other mediocre practices like eating and breathing. Instead he should use this time to go on a downloading rampage.

Now there are few who want to make use of this God-sent gift, but don’t know how to. And among many different ways to download goodies over the net, the most effective and satisfying one is ‘Torrents’. And the best part of torrents is that it’s FREE! So without any further due, I present to you:-

In this tutorial I’m going to explain the beautiful art of using torrents in a simple step wise form along with some self explanatory screenshots.

Step 1: Go to http://www.utorrent.com/download.php and download the file
’Get µTorrent 1.7.7 Stable (214 kB)’ on to your desktop.

Step 2: Install utorrent on your computer

Step 3: Go to http://www.newtorrents.info/ and search for anything your
heart desires. Anything!

Step 4: The next page will generate the results of your search. Preferably choose a file which has a good ratio of uploaders (seeders) and downloaders (leechers). Desired ratio should be 2:1

Step 5: Then click on download this file and save the torrent file on your computer.

Step 6: Double click on the torrent file and it will open in u torrent

Step 6: Choose a destination folder as to where you want this file to be saved
and Click Ok.

Step 7: Wait!

Some alternative public as well as private tracker sites where one can search for the desired torrents are:

Vandalism feels goooood…

It was just a regular day. Joel, Milind, Sameer, Jean (a friend of Milind’s from Holland) and yours truly decided to go for the Chelsea vs. Liverpool watch at the J29. I must say it was an awesome match and this coming form someone who is not even into sports. After the game, we went for some Subs and by the time we reached back at milind’s residence it was 3.30 p.m.

Now few days ago we were talking bout how annoying a billboard is, that has come up in Parra and Milind was getting very frustrated since it was the only one from Mapusa to Calangute stretch. So he had got some orange paint and Joel had got some old balloons. The idea was to fill the balloons with the paint and throw them on the billboard for it to splatter. Now I was completely unaware of this plan, and they were going to put the plan in motion at this particular night. Spontaneity being the specialty of the Popats, it was thrilled at the idea. However, the balloons were very old and they couldn’t retain the paint. So we just filled the paint in bottles and headed to the billboard with our bikes. Oh! The adrenaline was pumping like a crazy B**** on heat. With the dogs barking and vehicles passing by on the main road, it was Awesome! To our advantage, the billboard being of Spykar Jeans the models in it were wearing white pants and the art of the Popats is LEGENDARY!

Karma Screwed With Me.

2008-04-12T15:06:00.004+05:30

In my previous post, I mentioned how I made Rs. 100 by drinking a horrid cocktail conjured by Joel. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, in fact I was so woozy that I don't even remember most of the night after I downed the damn thing. Anyway the entire next day I rejoiced to the part where I had extra 100 bucks to spare. Later that evening Milind, Joel, Falon (Axel's GF) and I went to the Milagres fete. Little did I know what Karma I had ins tore for me.

Now a little travel down my childhood. Back when I was like 16 yrs old, I used to go to the Milagres Fete quite often and on one occasion I happened to play this gambling game called 'Three Card Monte'. Usually the professional do this with three cards, with two being black and one red. But these rookies over here do the same with small palm sized discs. The dealer keeps showing the red while he shuffles the three. And at the end he put all three down faced downwards, and one is required to place a bet on the red one. If you guess right, the money doubles. So back then I played this game and won it. I was so happy with myself that I kept boasting about it for years to come. After that year I kept looking for these dealers with intention of making some money, but no luck.

So the other day when we went to the Milagres fete, I saw this dealer hosting the 'Three Card Monte' game. Within seconds I was drawn to the table and within less than a minute I had lost Rs. 200. WHAT THE ****. I was devastated. The guys left no mercy in making fun of me. I was so tempted to hit the ATM with the intention to recover my lost money. And did I mention… I was devastated.

So not only did karma take back the money I earned the previous day, but did so in double. A little later feeling very confident about the game Milind, Joel and Falon (oh yes! She was tempted too), decided to hit the table to make some money. And guess what… THEY LOST. Oh I was so thrilled because now I had three other suckers going through my plight. Earlier that night Falon and Joel made a mention that they would never gamble. But one look at the game and you think that you know the trick (at least the dealer makes you think so).

Now… a little fact for all you guys who might consider gambling in this game. NO ONE CAN EVR WIN. It's all a trick there are loads of videos on YouTube proving this. Its quite a lot to explain as how this trick works, but if interested then check this link for Further details:-

Goan Pina Colada Screwed with Me.

2008-04-11T19:10:00.005+05:30

The other day Milind, Joel, Elvis and I considered giving a cocktail session a shot. With making it an exclusive Pina Colada session, Joel and I went to get the required ingredients and by midnight we all were set to kick off the session. As our ‘Sommelier’, we invited Sameer (Milind’s Bro) to our session. Tried couple of mixtures and we realized one thing. “The Popats definitely suck at mixing cocktails”. With continuous failure in trying to get the right mixture, all the fun was sucked right out. Now what we had was a glass of poorly mixed cocktail and no volunteer to drink it. So the respected ‘Sommelier’ placed bet of Rs. 50 to anyone who would down the entire glass in one go. Milind took up the task (after throwing in some push ups).
However, we still had like 2 tetra packs of coconut milk and some juice and white rum still left. So, I proposed the guys to bet on me Rs. 100 for drinking any ridiculous cocktail they could come up with. At this Joel, with all his excitement put on the Barman’s Hat and came up with this horrid mixture

Goan Pina Colada (Goencho Thas Thoos)

¾ glass of Coconut Milk.
2 shots of White Rum.
4 shots of Feni.
4 drops of pineapple juice… literally.
And yeah believe it or not, I did it. Of course within minutes I had a woozy headache, an upsetting stomach ache and Rs. 100 warming my pocket.

Now was the bet worth it. Hmmm…

P.S. Recipe for Pina Colada:
1-1/2 shots rum
2 ounces coconut milk
4 ounces pineapple juice
Garnish: Cherry or mint sprig
Blend with ice and garnish.

Good Friday - Obligation or Not

2008-03-21T22:45:00.015+05:30

I've done it just too many times…written for a bit and then disappeared for long…so lets just move past the part where I apologize to you people. So backed by popular demand (like to think so at least)
"I'M BACK AND POPPING"

Any who, I just learnt a very interesting fact about our religion the other day. Apparently Monty Thursday, Good Friday and many other significant days, are not days of obligation. Yada it is not requisite of people to attend mass on these days. So the Popats made the most of this opportunity and decided to skip mass these two days. However today being Good Friday it wasn't easy. Bling and I had to avoid all main roads leading to the church, cause we wouldn't want people judging us… now would we. Anyways we somehow made our way to Goobi's place and then the unexpected happened. It started raining and while we were all dry and cozy in 'Goobi's Balcao', I only wonder what might have been the fate of the people who went for mass, thinking it was an obligation to do so. If only our church cares to impart good knowledge about our religion…

So just the same, I have no obligation to blog on regular basis… and I'm going to keep up this lame habit…

Nothing is Secure anymore…

Milind and I paid a little visit at a computer dealership today in Panjim. Came in a middle aged man holding a laptop case with a very frustrated look on his face. One glance at Agnel (Dealership Proprietor) and I knew he was not too happy to see this dude. Goobs was kinda in conversation with Agnel at that time when this dude suddenly burst out. “You are useless, not a single Driver is working”. Off Course it was in a kinda friendly way, but I think Goobs was a little lost. Agnel got a call and then this guy noticed us standing next to him. I don’t know what gave him the idea, but for some reason he thought we were quite amused by his laptop. It was one of those Lenovo’s with Finger-print Security. And then on and on he went about how this machine is the best buy one could have. The security system is remarkable and quite handy for professional use. So goobs asked him what the config was. It was the usual Core2Duo, 1.83 GHz, 1 GB RAM, and 120 GB Hard Drive. But what came as shock was the price he picked it up for – Rs. 60000/-. Either this guy was a complete idiot or maybe this laptop was indeed quite worth it, because at this price one could get a MacBook or an iMac with much much more features. In fact, Axel picked up a similar laptop in HP for just Rs. 45000/-.

Anyways we thought we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and let him continue with his ‘Praising Lines’. He went on to mention about the Finger print Security and that only 2-3 fingerprints can be registered in one machine. So the only people with registered fingerprints can access the computer. Anyway he hit the power switch, swiped his finger once and the laptop started booting. Then the dude went into another room to chat with some other guys leaving us with the laptop. Next came the Login screen where usually one has to enter a password to get into an account, but in this case one needed to swipe a finger. Anyway we waited and waited but no sign of this dude. So I said to goobs. “This laptop must be really secure eh! They must be using some Hi-Tech stuff that the laptop is priced so high” at that goobs casually swiped his finger; And it freaking worked. So much for security… huh!!!

This incident once again got me one step closer to the Mac family. There are few of these companies left that give their customers their money’s worth… others are just out to rip you off.

Fridiots!!!

Sunshine - MRS

2007-06-20T14:33:00.001+05:30

Killer concept… but a very poor output. The scene is set in the future, wherein our sun is dying and the entire planet lies frozen. In a last ditch attempt to save the world, all resources are put together in order to deliver a bomb which they hope will reignite the dying star, effectively creating a mini-Big Bang (or small bang, I don’t really know how this works). The eight astronauts and scientists on board are prepared to spend several years in space on what might well be a suicide mission; nonetheless, if they can pull it off, they will, quite literally be the saviors of the universe.

Now that was a movie I was really looking forward to, with me being all in the “heroes – saving the world” stuff. When I finally downloaded the movie I decided that I would watch it on Goobs 24inch TFT with some killer sound, but it didn’t quite work out and now I’m glad it didn’t. The movie just kept dragging on and on. All they kept talking about the entire movie was some kind of ‘Payload’ which I’m still quite not sure what it means. I didn’t even know the character names of the astronauts (except the main lead). Almost at the end, another (somewhat superficial and half burnt) character popped up who had survived from a similar mission around 7 years ago. What was even confusing was that this dude wants to destroy this mission cause of some naive reason that GOD told him to take these new guys to hell and that this mission is not meant to happen; making it totally unclear whether he is the Good or BAD guy.

And then there’s just nitpicking – one oxygen garden, when it’s crucial to the crew’s survival? Why does only one person know how to arm the bomb? What if he had hit his head on a cupboard door on his first day? I know that this is just a “MOVIE”, but Sunshine is presented as scientifically accurate or at least plausible, so these little flaws and inconsistencies are irritating.

APPLE… it is more than a fruit now!!!

2007-06-13T23:25:00.001+05:30

Milind has been responsible for getting me addicted to 2 apple based products…. one being the Nestlé Apple Iced Tea and the other APPLE. Inc (their products precisely)… Everyone who knows this popat should know for the fact that this dude is one hell of an Apple. Inc fanatic… and now he has gripped me in all his fanaticism… But can’t really blame him… this White Apple is definitely worth a bite… has been responsible for getting me addicted to 2 apple based products…. one being the Nestlé Apple Iced Tea and the other APPLE. Inc (their products precisely)… Everyone who knows this popat should know for the fact that this dude is one hell of an Apple. Inc fanatic… and now he has gripped me in all his fanaticism… But can’t really blame him… this White Apple is definitely worth a bite…

So my life has practically been around this White Apple for quite some time… It all started when Milind gave me this Keynote of Steve Jobs at the Macworld San Francisco 2007… tat’s the one where the iPhone was announced and the AppleTV launched. I simply admire this dude... he practically sells his stuff during his keynote presentation.

At the same keynote I noticed the second generation iPod Shuffle and not until recently (and as a total surprise) I got one as a gift for my 21^st birthday… you know what they say about big things in small packages… I had been waiting to get my hands on this baby ever since I had seen it in the keynote and once again a big “Thank You” to my dear girl Kimberly (for future reference to be known as KD) for the smallest masterpiece. It’s Simply Awesome!!!... Small and handy with a clip that fastens to your clothes surprisingly well, buttons are of reasonable size so that it’s not hard at all to switch track whilst running, about 12 hours playback and 7 days standby time, water resistant, blah, blah, blah…

Anyways there was more to come… KD got lucky for her b’day too and as a gift from her mum she could get a laptop for herself. With a little persuasion from me she went in for a MacBook. I had to drag another victim in the White Apple fanaticism.

Everything said and done Goobs n I was desperately waiting for the World Wide Developers Conference 2007 on 11^th June. This is where Steve would give his next keynote, wherein he was gonna launch the iPhone and announce the much awaited Mac OS X Leopard… and boy we were not disappointed. Time machine, coverflow finder, spaces, quicklook, mail & ichat… it just kept getting better… Leopard is gonna hunt vista down and freaking feast on it… Even the iPhone was splendid… besides being a basic mobile phone it features a widescreen iPod with touch controls and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display (3.5 inch) and the most important, unlike the other mobile phones… the iPhone runs the Mac OS X…

There is not much that can be said about how revolutionary this fruit is… but it sure is healthy.

P.S. Recently I downloaded this Podcast of a historic event that took place on the 30^th of may 2007, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at the D5 Conference… it’s a must watch…

Does the World need 'HEROES'

2007-05-24T10:18:00.001+05:30

I have always been fascinated with superheroes... In my yesteryears i even managed to convince my younger brother that 'I' was infact 'BATMAN'... and if you all recollect few years ago we used to have these Beetel phones for BSNL with a red light for the redial button... I would simply tell my bro tat i would use tat button to communicate with Robin... thus explaining the alphabet 'R' and the red light.

All said and done... even at the age of 21 I still am quite fascinated with superheroes having 'SMALLVILLE' and HEROES' as my favorite TV series... n now tat the first season has ended (in a quite unexpected manner) the question popped into my head... 'Whether or Not the world need HEROES'... if i were to make an assumption its quite obvious that they do, considering that it is the No. 1 and the most viewed TV series aired on NBC... n why wouldn't it be... Coupla extraordinary people, who thought they were like everyone else... trying to discover their own depth of powers, whose destiny just might be the saving of humankind... From teleporting at will, painting the future, hearing the thoughts of others, re-generating, walking through objects, flying at speed of light, talking to machines, invisibility, healing to absorption of others powers... How cool can this get...

So for all those people who don't seem to need 'HEROES'... maybe this post would make you all wanna reconsider...

An Apology post

2007-05-21T17:54:00.000+05:30

I know i know... its been really long... n i have disappointed all my readers... n frankly i have no excuse as to why i haven't written for over two months... I have been a real BAD BAD BOY... but i did have some issues... like exams, no active net connection for a month, busy with work, etc, etc... but then again i have no excuse as to why i shouldn't drop in to say hi!...

The reason why I'm really writing is cause of my dear friend Natasha (http://morgainerealm.blogspot.com/)... You see yesterday she brought to my attention tat I'm become really lazy n have deprived her of some reading material (at my cost) on my 'SLATE' ... she has even put my 'SLATE on RSS feed... frankly I'm really honored a little proud n now I'm all charged up n good to go again... n for all those people who neva really appreciated my posts... I quote u all L's " Who Cares"

Where It Hurts The Most

2007-03-08T15:31:00.000+05:30

The Past... approximately a year ago
This goes back to the days when i didn't have any internet connection at home. Back then i would patronize my college (St. Xavier's) broadband connection for doing primary stuff like checking mails and chatting. Also around the same time Bling (Joel) n Goobs considered themselves to be the dynamic duo of "Ocean's Two"... so they decide to get their hands on my hotmail password and do some messing around (fun sake of course). So basically Goobs extracts my password somehow form the college database or something (Don't really now how he did it) and eventually started signing in my MSN messenger to chat with my contacts. It was no serious harm but when they told me about it, i decided then that i would somehow get back at Goobs for playing with my trust (Not in any vengeance tone of any sort)

The Present..... 07/03/2007 (11.00p.m.)
I decide to crash at Goobs place cause it was too late to go home and it was freaking freezing to travel at that time . So we are just sitting at his PC fiddling around with Vista working towards are usual quest to experience the WOW!!! After giving up all hopes on Vista, Goobs decides to check his mail... and BHAM!!!... the past unfolds... it was time for the messer to become the messee...

What Goobs didn't know is that i had found a loophole in the Firefox browser... Firefox was that one thing that he has complete faith and trust in after Apple... Firefox is known to be the most secured browser ensuring the users security... and it had never let him down. But Goobs had not seen this coming. All I had to do is:-

Go to Tools>Options>Security>Show Passwords and Whola!!!

Even though i had his password of Gmail, Hotmail, Bank A/C's, etc.. I had no intentions of misusing it. But i knew for sure that once i told him that i have his password he would be shattered... and that's exactly what happened. He was so upset that he didn't get sleep till six in the morning, keeping me awake too. He of course changed all his passwords that he had preserved for so many years... But my work here was done...

What's WOW About VISTA

2007-03-04T12:52:00.001+05:30

Yes… its finally out and there are quite a few who have this new Operating System by Windows already running on their systems in Goa… Goobs (Millind) had finally got his hands on it and we were all excited about the "Experience the WOW !!!". So I traveled all the way to parra to be present for the installation process and after 30 minutes of anticipation i was like "That's it! This was all the fuss about"... I was pretty sure that Millind was not satisfied with it either and that he would be a little sensitive about it, but i spared no mercy in expressing my frustration... After all he is a total Apple fanatic and Windows had to do better to meet up to his expectations... it's like the makers of Vista are couple of jackasses sitting on a magic 8 ball.... However, there are a few exciting things about Vista like one can have a video as a wallpaper, the explorer comes with transparency, the most talked bout Media Center (Nothing great about it though), the Flip3D to switch between explorers,etc. But seriously!... it took 5 years for a million dollar company to come up with with this S***.

What i have below are two stills... one of the Genuine Windows Vista and the other of a mere Vista Transformation Pack... besides the Flip 3D, Media Center and few other features there is nothing great about this OS...

Genuine Windows Vista with Flip 3D in action

I currently have the Transformation Pack installed on my PC and I'm not missing out on any WOW !!!

Bottle Bay Beta

2007-03-02T13:59:00.001+05:30

This ain’t any tongue twister or some kinda beverage… It’s simply a shack I recently paid a visit to along the coasts of the Baga beach. Actually I went out on a date there and it was next to perfection. ‘Bottlebay’ was recommended to me by a dear friend, Shraddha (well known as Shredder) and the trip was definitely worth it. Let me describe to you’ll it’s ambience.

Once u get to the Baga beach (Tito’s lane), all u need to locate is a 12-15 ft. green bottle shaped figure and at once u have found your destination. Instead of regular cane chairs Bottle Bay has something known as the 'harem beds' on the beach (the kind where you can sit on gaddas). These beds are arranged in a rectangular form with white curtains blowing in the wind and tiny yellow lights circled around the tent shaped like figure. At the entrance towards the shore there is a Cedar Classic Swing Set fixed which totally sets in a romantic mood. As u progress towards the main shack area there is a small mini bar in the form of a boat.

I know this picture does not do any justice to this post, but this is the best i could get.

Even the tables inside the shack have been carefully designed, with seashells and sand sandwiched in between two layers of glass. At the main bar there is a ‘Two way view’ Aquarium, the other side visible (now here’s the kicker) to an awesome discotheque. Actually on both the sides of the aquarium there is a bar, one for the restaurant and the other for the Discotheque.

One look at Bottle Bay and you know a great deal of thought and passion has gone into making it look and feel different, from everything else. Now tat’s what I call a shack with class!

If any of you people wanna experience this place first hand, there is a ‘Holi Bash’ happening on 3rd March, although the gala opening is on Easter Sunday. Some of the attractions are:- DJ Sergey ENOT from Russia, DJ Ashton, Fire Dancers, Fire works, etc…Sunset party 5.30 pm onwards, 10.00 pm onwards indoor fun (As mentioned on the fliers)

I’m not guarantying you all guys anything (Don’t catch the bull by its tail) and neither am I promoting this place in any form… this is just my way of expressing appreciation of some good thought put in action. As of now this is one of my favourite ‘hang-out’ spots and as I may predict this place is defiantly gonna pick up its pace once they are out of ‘Beta Stage’.

Back Stabbed in the Chest

2007-02-28T17:52:00.000+05:30

I know its been a long time… n I have totally gone against my promise tat I made in my last post….

N if for some reason I don’t manage to… then hell with the people who are out to judge me… this is my damn blog n I will write in it as and when I please…

I know I’m contradicting to my own statement… but I’ll just go ahead n say two simple words made famous by the legendary ‘POPATS’….

”I LIED”

I’m Back and Popping

2006-12-28T21:53:00.000+05:30

The past two months have been horrible for my blog...there were a series of events tat just kept me from posting anything... after my last post i.e. in October my modem conked off…by the time I got it fixed my exams had started… n no matter how much I wanted to post something, I just couldn’t get myself to write anything interesting... all I could think of was the ‘taxation sections and laws’ tat I was trying to by heart… n just when I was done with my exams…I got lucky with my ‘work life’… got myself laced at a very significant post at the IFFI 2006… n tat meant I had no time to goof around… till the 10^th Dec (post IFFI period) I was still busy and caught up with work… after tat I got all caught with my dance troupe and it’s affairs… Wait wait wait…I don’t have to explain anything to any of you all… the point is that I’m Back and Popping... n I promise you all tat the year 2007 will be a good time for my blog any all you readers…

Pain Installment Scheme

2006-10-09T23:50:00.001+05:30

I know it’s been a while, but it’s not my fault. Six days back I did the most stupidest thing eva and for which I’m gonna regret for the next 12 months…the reason why didn’t write bout my stupid act six days ago cause as soon as I would start writing it would hurt even more, but now I guess I’m over it( strictly refereeing to the pain).

On the 4th of October, I got these stupid braces fit to my lovely set of teeth (RITE!!!...I know) n I don’t even know why I did it. I guess after a lot of persuasion from ma mom n friends I finally got myself to do it. Although my fellow ‘popat’ - Joel did warn me bout the consequences of braces. He told me tat when they fix the braces they first put some glue on each tooth n then fix the bracket on each by applying IMMENSE pressure (tat kinda scared me), but when I did go to fix ma braces it didn’t hurt a thing n I cursed tat ‘#$%@&*’ for scaring me. But little did I know the after effects tat aroused 10 hours later n then cursed Joel even more for letting me go thru this stuff….

But wait! The worst part of this treatment is tat every month I have to go to the orthodontist to tighten my braces n then for the next five days I’m all in pain. The pain is no less then a torture. My teeth get all sensitive; I can’t neither bite nor nibble on to anything n most of my diet involves fluids. So to wrap up the entire issue i could conclude saying tat….
I AM TOTALLY SCREWED UP

Surprise Shatter

2006-10-02T16:47:00.001+05:30

The weirdest thing happened yesterday. I had been planning over a month to give a perfect ‘surprise’ gift to someone (Hypothetically let’s call the gift ‘The Matrix’ and the person ‘Trinity ’). The Matrix is neither something expensive nor something unique, but in this case it was the thought that would count… However with regards to ‘The Matrix’ I had no clue what so ever from where and how to get it and I was kinda running outta time. So outta desperation I went to my friends for help and ‘The Popats’ (I will later write an exclusive post with respect to ‘The Popats’) came to my rescue, and everything was set….

Now the plan was to take Trinity to the store giving her the liberty to choose. So it’s almost noon and both of us were visiting a friend; and as the three of us were having a conversation, Trinity suddenly outta the blue says “You know Edson! I really love the Matrix…can u get me one…” I was totally shocked. I mean what are the odds. I was just staring at Trinity wit a total lost expression for atleast 15 seconds. Not knowing how to react I just remarked “That’s insane Trinity, who would give such a stupid gift…Please don’t expect such a thing from me…” All Trinity said that I was very mean and insensitive. I just made it look like I didn’t care and in my mind there was a small little Edson doing this

However I couldn’t let my one month planning go waste so on our way back I took trinity to the store and told her tat I was anyways suppose to give her ‘the Matrix’ today…. Now I am in a dilemma whether she actually believed that I had planned this in advance or I just gave her ‘The Matrix’ cause she called me mean and insensitive…. Whatever it is I don’t wanna know cause either ways ‘the Matrix’ made her happy and that’s what I wanted all along. So guys with this I’ve learnt that it doesn’t matter how and what you can do to bring a smile on someone’s face, what matters most is if you succeed in bringing that SMILE… So temme which of the expression should the ‘Little Edson’ in my mind have

ATTENTION !!!

I really don’t know why people make this blog system. And NO! I’m not here to explain why. I’m just another sucker who has fallen prey to this damn thing. And yes this is my first post, and I really don’t have any idea what to write about. Any way in this blog I will basically write about anything that I feel comfortable with; and in this process if reading this would make anyone uncomfortable, then I suggest not reading it.

Sometimes I may change the name of the characters mentioned in my post to retain confidentiality (So don’t come about spying around). In any case if the reader comes across any suggestions, solutions, statements, remarks, etc made or given by me; he should accept them at his very own discretion. However any contradictory comments are welcome (Although mind your tone…). Anything posted will be entirely by me and any resemblance to any other post would be highly co-incidental or superficial (readers do not catch the bull by the tail). So guys enjoy and have fun at my cost…lol
