World of Tanks

One fine day, after knowing my madness for gaming, one of my friend suggested me to try World of Tanks. At first, it was just another game for me. Tried it for couple of days, but I couldn't manage to kill a single tank. And so as normal human tendency goes, I was frustrated with it in just under 2 hours.
Next thing: Shift + Delete.
Wasn't that hard.
Meanwhile I started getting some good reviews of the game from various online sources. It was being praised from all the people who knew about it.
After a couple of months, I was attracted to WOT again. But I didn't have a good internet connection back then. Hardly received 125kbps. And at that rate I decided to download the game.
It took me 2 weeks to download 6 GB of data at an average rate of 12 hours/GB. The speed reduced drastically as I surfed other web pages. But finally, after a long wait and a lot of hard work in downloading, I managed to play it. Again it was a nightmare getting used to the controls as I used to get Everest touching ping. As if this wasn't enough, lag too was another equally devilish obstacle. But this time it was hard for me to delete the game considering the amount of time and money(approx. 600 rupees) I spent for downloading it.
So I used to play it everyday even though I was not doing any good. But as it is said, time teaches you everything. After 6 days of rigorous tanking, I started improving.
Well at least better than other first timers. I started enjoying WOT so much that it got irresistible within 15 days.
Today, after 4K battles, I can say that this is one of the best games I have ever come across. I got to learn tons of new stuff. For example, "I love Nikki" means give the retards something to think and divert their attention, "o7" means salute, you respect your clan members and maintain dignity of their position, trick a novice in baiting for the team, and a lot more. I even managed to prove that games do make a difference in increasing your concentration power, maintaining situational awareness, enhancing the power of all 5 senses, figuring out weak spots of your opponent, battle tactics and a whole lot more stuff.
I wouldn't say this was a "Life Changing" game, but it definitely was a "Life Improving" game.
Games are good in many ways if right games are played for right amount of time and keeping in mind a simple thing: It's just a game" (as our clan 'Thinkerton' says).

Friends

After being mesmerized by BBT, I got my hands on Friends.  Another CBS TV show.  4th most watched TV show in the history of United States of America.  No doubt there were millions of die hard fans of Friends.  It is indeed a show which makes you want to see more and more.  Never have I been so intimidated by anything before.  All the characters are amazing. Monica Geller: Organized, wants things to be done in a perfect manner, cant tolerate indiscipline and untidiness. She looks stunning throughout all the seasons. She did inspire me to organize my stuff nd care for the detailing. She taught me, Its not crazy to tend towards perfection. She deserved the Porsche.  Rachel Greene: Jenifer Aniston is remarkably the star among them. Perfect example of beauty without brains. However she is, she is perfect. Loves fashion. She taught me its not insane to splurge a bit on yourself. After all at he end of the day you will be with yourself i...

Think-"BIG"

This is something which we don’t usually get to hear. Not when it comes to our close ones. They say think in a limit. But I don’t agree with them. I believe in thinking big. This is what makes you think broadly and get into the depth of every detail. Thinking big does not imply to a particular stuff. But you need to think where and when to use it. When you want to study, think big! Study more. This is what is expected by our elders. Literally it does apply to it, but we don’t like to apply-that’s the thing. When it comes to BAD habits, never think big. I mean try to avoid it. Here, I refer to really big changes which can take effect by small steps. If you stop wasting water, electricity and other land resources, than it is definitely going to make a difference. Agree that the difference is tiny to be noticed at a large scale instantly. But come on, it’s not an impulsive force which can act instantly. Everything needs to be ignited to achieve the target. This is the ign...

Windows 7.5 review

Windows 7.5 [Mango] is the latest update for the so called windows based smart phones [which are not so smart indeed]. It’s completely transformed from the previous version. Now it looks more like an OS made for cell phones and not a compact XP. If you are not a smart phone user but wish to feel the smartness than you can give this a try. Mango won’t put your head on fire with plenty of useless options. If you are one who finds it difficult to locate the call log of a smart phone than this is just for you. In short, a non-geek can get his hands dirty without a user’s manual. Let’s put some flash on its unique features. Mango threads e-mail messages and text messages, so separate pieces of the same conversation wind up in a single place. So it gets a lot easier to be in touch. Windows market place is not much flooded with apps [just 18000 to be precise] but will keep you entertained! Bing vision is yet another impressive option. Scans barcodes of any kind, books, dvds, etc,...
