Out of the frying pan to fire

I thought I am spending more time in system recovery and factory reset and services, and very less time in aapt and adb. And of course the culprit is the universally hated but universally used operating system - Windows..

So I spent a lot of money and bought an ubuntu laptop. Now I am spending all my time in firefox followed by sudo apt-get's.

If the MS product treats us as toddlers, this OS treats us as Einsteins.

And Dell which has so many Linux products should have guessed by now, that some simple apps should come pre-installed. I had to install cheese for webcam. I failed in installing sound. Now you can imagine my plight with IDE.

Any ways, more opportunity to learn the OS only developers use. Yay me!!

Bharatha - 2. UrdhvaRoma

I wanted to write about Karna as my part 2 of Bharatha because he is the real tragic hero of MahaBharatha. But net is filled with writings about him.

Krishna indicated Arjuna to hide and watch. This boy shot an arrow to a large tree. And all the leaves of the tree fell down except for 5 and a half leaves.
