Much Needed Break

During the last phase of 2014, my life had run into some complexities or super-complexities I may say. They did get sorted out within days but it kind of affected my life in a whole different level, setting it upside down. It was way too much to take within a very short span of time. Therefore, I needed a break.

A break to rethink things, to set the priorities and goals and set my life in the right track. And to do that, I pretty much went into my cocoon, or in a kind of hibernation mode. I only did the absolutely necessary activities like eating or going to college that too after a few weeks but had cut down all activities like going to birthday parties or enjoying or even talking at times with friends.

Now, I’m all sorted out and I’m back (almost six months later). But I realized one thing in all these. Taking a break helps a lot, you can sort your life out. It gives you time to think, sets your mind free and helps you think clearly. So if you ever feel all puzzled up, confused and cornered, go ahead and dare to take a break from all things. It does help you put your life back in place.

The Ideal Tablet

In the last two decades, the world has witnessed drastic changes in each and every field. But the change has been immense in the field of technology. Telephones have transformed to smartphones, pagers to WhatsApp. Huge desktop computers have evolved into small, light weight laptops, netbooks and even tablets. The keyboard and mouse has lost their utility for these input devices are found on the output devices, i.e., on the touch screens.
Words that can perfectly define the past two decades is innovation at its best. This innovation has always addressed our necessities and problems and tried to solve them. But there has been one innovation that has made a giant leap, solving a number of problems at one go. The innovation is called tablet or simply tab, named after the clay tablets used to be found in the excavations of old civilizations due to similarity in looks.
Tablets are the most wonderful gadget till date. It has got enough power under its hood to let you work like in a laptop, that too with the added advantage of touch screen, play sophisticated games with high end graphics, enjoy movies and songs, and what not. And all these can be enjoyed on the go. But you might ask laptops have all these features and can be carried around as well, so what's so special about tablets? Well, you might carry a laptop all around but try working in it while traversing in a public transport especially during the working hours. But tablets are much easier to handle in crowded places being smaller and compact in size without the keyboard part. Moreover, laptops are quite heavy and most people, having to carry them in their bag pack all day around, complain of severe back aches while no such problem exist with the tablet.
So when the tablets initially hit the markets, there was a lot of speculation around it. But the price being too high, it was not a commoner's commodity. However soon different small companies took interest in it and started producing it within the 10k range. It was possible for them for they didn't have reputation in the markets and therefore didn't care to maintain quality unlike the biggies such as  Apple or Samsung. No sooner did these budget tablets come up, they started selling like hot cakes. Even i got one myself convincing my mother that i really needed one to study the ebooks provided by the college professors of the foreign authors, the printed versions of which were too pricey to buy and were not easily available in libraries.
