Edgy Microsoft

So last year I made a list and ranked the best Android internet browser . I chose Brave Browser as the number 1. But little did I knew back then that Microsoft was about to take the android ecosystem by storm! Microsoft has launched and updated plenty of their apps. One of the new apps is Microsoft Edge. The best browser for Android. It nails the basics, but it is the extras that make it stand apart. First of all the browser is stable. Like really stable, something which Brave Browser lacked. Then it syncs with your PC and stores your data on your Microsoft account. Add to that the built in QR scanner. Then there are the big features. It has two of them. Firstly, it includes and built in ad blocker. A life saver! I believe it is a must for any modern browser because, the modern internet is garbage and is filled with ad and trackers scouring for your data. The next big feature which I adore is the ability to continue your work on your PC with a simple tap! Microsoft is se

Utilities!

Windows 10 launched way back in 2015. It was mostly a refined version of Windows 8.1. It featured a new start screen, new apps, and a brand new STORE! Yes, a new store. First called Windows Store, the store has now been rebranded to Microsoft Store. The store first launched with only universal apps. With time the store has now evolved to a place where you would actually go searching for apps and games. The store now includes win32 apps and one of those apps is a little utility called Ear Trumpet . I like to play online games (DOTA 2), as it allows me to play with my friends. We use Skype of all the communications apps to talk in game. So here lies the problem. I listen to music, play the game and talk with my friends all at once! Windows 10 as you know lacks any way to tweak the volume of each application. Enter Ear Trumpet. It allows me to tweak the volume of my music, Skype, and the game right from the taskbar! Trust me it might seem trivial, but Ear Trumpet is a life saver.

Here we go again!

Hey all! I know that the blog has been literal dead over the past few months, but I have a reason for that. Well let's get into it then, I started the blog with the simple intention of letting people know what I see, use and love! To my surprise, the blog even became quite the hit. Ever since my first post on Baby Driver, I have never looked back. However, I bailed on it right when it was growing at a staggering rate. I stopped posting on the blog and its popularity plummeted. Now I will have to roll my sleeves up and start again. I know I have messed it up and chances are that the blog will never reach its glory days. I guess I will have to try to figure it out, so I had to stop blogging because life really took a sharp turn on me. When I began blogging I was doing my A'Levels. Once I was done with it I had to move on to a University and what a move it turned out to be! Unlike A'Levels I actually had to wake up 6 AM in the morning to attend class. Frequent tests and

MARVEL's Lit Panther

Such is the attraction of a black lead in a Marvel movie, that I broke my rule again and went to the movies to catch Black Panther! We had previously seen T'Challa in Civil War, where his father died. His Solo outing picks up exactly from there onwards. We see T'Challa return to Wakanda and being crowned the new King. Black Panther using realistic issues to stand out from the slew of Superhero movies. The main conflict, between our hero and the antagonist Kill Monger, is their ideology. Kill Monger wants to use Wakanda's resources to help other black people. While T'Challa wants to continue living in hiding. Kill Monger's ideology is what makes the movie interesting, you feel for him. Because, of his reasoning, which seems just. However, the way he wants to execute his plans is what makes him the antagonist. Micahel B Jordan is killer and Andrew Serkis provides icing on the cake as Claws The movie features an all-black cast. And the audience seems to mind t

Swades

I have been quite busy throughout the month of December. This had restricted me from posting on the blog. But now I am back. And along with me are the blog posts. I will not deny the fact that I have seen many movies and series while being on this hiatus of mine. But, those did not give me the urgency to talk about it. In fact, I had begun to get bored of these repetitive plot points of the blockbuster movies! Hence, I began my journey to find entertainment. And to my disbelief, I found it in Bollywood movies. I had previously seen Swades, when I was a child. It aired on the Television and being a Shah Rukh Khan fan back in the days. I had caught a glimpse. The movie was not meant for the viewing of children and it failed to appeal to me at that age! But, now in 2018, it blew my mind! The movie is about an Indian named Mohan, who lives in the USA and works for NASA. The story revolves around Mohan's experiences upon returning to India. This movie is terrific becaus
