April Fool's Day 2013

Yes It's April fools day, and Twitter and Youtube have done their absolute best to pull off a prank. I installed the Bit Defender Total Security and it works pretty well. Power outages are becoming regular these days, and last longer every day. I guess kannadigas can never get their heads around these mundane problems. Sigh, what a place to live in. The rain clouds deceived my part of town today as well, but were quite generous elsewhere as I heard. Still, there was a slight drizzle during the power outage, and I went up to take a few pics. They turned out to be Bokeh!

CTFxC and Youtube Vlogs

I have been tuned into vlogs and vlogging for some time now, close to 4 years, ever since I watched my first CTFxC video.

And four years on, I have not missed a single vlog.  It is heartening to follow someone's life so closely, and four years isn't a short period of time.

Had agood afternoon nap, and decided to catch up on the youtube vlogs and CTFxC which I missed for a few days in a row. I received the cheque from BSNL, after almost an entire year. But atleast they paid up. I'm feeling a bit dazed right now, and it is surprising how much a trip can offset you from your daily routine. The streets were mostly empty, with a ragtag of boys playing holi. Looked like a public holiday, but it wasn't. The internet speed dropped on the downloads, and hence stopped the torrents. Usual phone calls followed and the usual assurances from the other end. I will go out for dinner soon, wonder what I will have..
