This is the name of new TV serial in Z cafe.
When I saw the name, I got interested, this should be something about IP addresses. So it will be serial about IT and should be watched.
When there can be so many TV serials about doctors, why can't there be serials about engineers, right? And I am a regular watcher of Silicon Valley, another serial about a start up in - of course, Silicon Valley. Not namma Bengaluru.
So coming back 11.22.63, I failed to notice that neither IP4 address, nor IP6 address will have three numbers. Nor does the mac address.
The story is about some plot which takes place in 1963, even before I was born!!! Imagine that. Was there ever such a time? I think it is about Kennedy assassination. Not worth pursuing.
In other news, I got 3 different calls from ICICI bank regarding some international travel card - on the same day. The reason could be that I practice some times German, some other times Italian using an app called Duolingo. At home, not in the "premises" of ICICI bank. So like all the other magics happening in my life, these bank call center gals have got this useful info, and have been told that I will be going on Europe tour. And want to know when and where and how.
I can visualize a dialogue "What does she keep saying to herself all day?". " I think she has finally gone mad. And we all did that". A roar of laughter. "No, I think she is not mad. She is practicing some foreign language". "Foreign language? You are mad. She does not even know English". "She knows English alright. Butler English. She keeps scolding people in English in phone to show off" "But she tells every one that she writes these apps. She must know something". "What is so great about apps? Anybody can write them. Even I can write apps. Only thing is I am so busy whole day" "What is the use of all those things. Her life is destroyed. We did that". Again a laughter. A guffaw. "She may be going to visit her son". "Let us find out. I have a friend in this bank. She will find out".
Yeah, I know I visualize all these things. So may be I am a little mad actually.
Coming back to Italian, But why do I practice these languages? Because "madale kelas ille". "hottu hogtille", "gossip madtnille". Just because.
So normally duolingo penguin is very friendly. It tells me I am excellent. But yesterday, it told me, "I am learning even when I am being wrong."
Nooooo. I was furious. With myself. That is not the feedback I want. Not from the app! See, I was practicing mia, mio, mie, mieieieieie or something like that. I grasped that they mean my or mine. But when do I use them? And why the @$@ do I need a word like il, la etc before my or mine?
Then I did something extra ordinary. I started thinking outside the app. And googled these words. Now I know that they are all different forms of same word- for feminine singular, masculine singular, feminine plural and masculine plural etc.
Apps and mobile restrict us to think inside a box - and such a small box too. So we need to keep these aside now and then. And visit the bigger world - of laptop. And you feel that you are not suffocated any more and you can breathe fresh air. :)
