The big sick: I can relate

The big sick is a movie about a Pakistani man falling in love with an American woman. It is based on a true story, from the life events of Kumail Nanjiani. To me, it is one of the best movies of the year!

The premise of the story is by no means supposed to be funny, but the movie is surprisingly funny! You think that the movie will be melodramatic, but again to my surprise, the movie is really lifelike. None of the actors tries to overact or go over the top. The movie is refreshing because of its lifelike nature.

Kumail Nanjiani is a terrific actor and portrays himself to perfection. I really like his family, because it is exactly like mine. But what really elevates the story is the second act. When Emily gets sick and Kumail has to spend a ton of time with her family. Emily's parents were terrific and funny, especially Holy Hunter! She hates Kumail at first and the way they end up liking each other is terrific. The comedy club scene where Kumail is insulted for being a Pakistani is golden.

The only gripe I have with the movie is its runtime. It could be a lot smaller and tighter and could have been finished earlier.

I will keep it short, and would highly recommend you to give it a look. Trust me you will love it. I would love to see more of Kumail Nanjiani in the future, he looks to be a very versatile actor.

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...

Do we need Virtual Assistant?

It is something which I stress over and over again. I live in Bangladesh, a small country in Asia. So, it is only natural for tech companies to not think about us when launching new services. Virtual Assistants are taking over the world. Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa and Cortana are said to be super helpful in your day to day life. YouTube reviewers adore them and recommend them for your smart home. What the reviewers don't take into account is that all those helpful assistants only properly work in the US. Here in Bangladesh, all these assistants can do is tell the weather and call or text contacts. These smart and intelligent assistants don't even understand our accents. Hence the second feature for call or texting is a hit and miss. Hence, I have uninstalled the Google app from my phone. I do not require to allow Google to spy on me, only so that assistant can tell me the weather. Google and other companies are in simple words ripping us off. We ...
