Being B'a'ld !!


Yes, I was bold enough to get bald. Just hope that you recognize me when our paths cross on some random street.
So this is how I spent last Friday. 
  1. Worrying at first. Should I or Should I not.
  2. Getting to the barber's and going for the same ol' boring cut.
  3. "Oh what the heck, dekhi jaayegi" kinda attitude to stop the barber in between and go with the trimmer.
Indecision was a big part of the whole affair. Just wondering if all the first timers had such difficulty in going through with it. All said, I am glad that I did it and it has turned out pretty darn well.
You might feel compelled to ask Why? For me it was more of curiosity about how i'd look and how it'd feel and the little thing called now or never. 
'Delighted' is the word that describes my current state of mind. The small joy's that it brings like finally being able to ditch the everyday combing, the feeling of a well-mowed grass on your head, the water droplets reaching your skull and having a cooling effect you never thought to be possible, and this is just two days of living with it that I am talking about, are immense in today's life.
Somehow i feel more free. And as my friend Junna once said: " It's something, people who've never done will regret!! " So GO, GET BALD ;)

P.S. catch the craziness out here.
Oh, and before you leave, I have been called names after my last exploit, some of 'em being: "wannabe Lebanese", "Middle-east terrorist", "Scary ...", "Gadad DD", "Ghajini".. et al.

Review: Dialogue in the Dark (DiD), Hyderabad - An Unlit Experience of a kind

Ambiance ***** Food **** Experience ***** Overall ***** Often, we wonder, how would it be like to experience the world in someone else's shoes. Dialogue in the Dark gives you an overwhelming experience on one such foray. Located in the sprawling Madhapur area of Hyderabad, a stones throwaway from the Hitech City, this is the area of the city that will blend modern India with the city of Nizams for you. Located on the 3rd floor of Inorbit Mall, as soon as you reach the reception desk of the restaurant, you'll start feeling awe. What greets you is an 'unassuming' person at the reception, who matter of factly mentions, that this experience would be unique for you. There are rules to be followed, and he hands over a list of the same - key being, you don't have anything on you which emits light, in any environmental condition. Curiously placed are a few Walking Sticks lying in a corner allow your imagination run wild for a little while. The m...

Google Allo - And its Content Ratings on iOS

Google just launched their new messaging app Allo in an already overcrowded market. Now there are plenty of opinions online, that you can read, talking about what are the chances that Allo succeed, so we are not going to talk about it here. However, when trying to download the app on iOS through App Store, an interesting thing caught my attention. The content rating that was given to this messaging app was 17+ with further click ins such as: Nudity, Profanity etc. On the other hand, a simple comparison with WhatsApp (the debatable leader in the market), you'd realize the same has a rating of 4+. Screenshot Dt. 23rd Sept 2016: Taken on India App Store on iPhone Similar to PG ratings on entertainment contents, App Store has the following scale : 4+, 9+, 12+ and 17+ with the varying scales of nudity, profanity, violence and other such adult (not "child" safe) references. But its simply baffling to have such a huge gap between the content rating for tw...

Invasion of Privacy, or Not?

OR NOT Disclaimer: Expressed below are my views on a topic that I believe to be touchy with many people. They, are not, in any way, related to Google or any other giant, and are not endorsed in any capacity by the same. What little knowledge that I have gained in the little time that I have spent in the company yet, has no implication on what I express here. Every idea has a seed. Some may call the idea itself a seed.  Big or small, the seed is the key. The origin of this post has something that is similar and very interesting. Something that has stemmed over a good part of the internet age. The argument between where to draw the line in terms of privacy. Having started recently, there was a healthy argument on the same with a fellow noogler during one of the sessions. And that brought back everything from the vault. The argument always remains, that big internet companies, with the extent that they have penetrated into the internet sphere, and the amount of informati...
