My smartphone life

28 April, 2015 is when my Moto E got broken. As I posted on Twitter (https://twitter.com/madhootweets/status/593074143936937985), my heart literally did break. The latter goes out to all those who are in the same state of mine. 
Replica of  the Moto E that I own(ed)
  I fear my life is nothing short of nothingness without a smartphone. Because, I have not been in this scenario before. Most of the current gen people would not have too. I owned my first phone when my teenage began. My first piece was an old fashioned non touch screen one, a Sony Ericsson w200i of the walkman series. It was a kind of a make for the purpose of traditional texting engaging the lightning speed of my fingers. Later, I was handed with another phone belonging to the same series with some advanced features. I tried to manage an year with that. After being successful, I thought my life was upgraded when Mom presented me the touch phone for the first time. It was Nokia C5-03. I completed my schooling with that. I started my college with a semi smartphone, Nokia Asha 501. A year later, came the first smartphone, Moto E.
   There was no problem whatsoever. It didn't have any battery problems, no lag, perfect finish with a gorilla glass, yet something went wrong on that particular day,  when I tossed it up randomly in the air and it slipped off my butter fingers
    I.. What.. The.. I.. Did.. Exactly! I was struck with words and went speechless for a moment. Wrongly anticipated was that throw. It took some time for me to breathe and realize what have I done. 
    A day after, when I was en route to fix it, I saw everyone on the public train with a smartphone. I realized I got myself island-ed in the sea of smartphone. I even noticed that a handful of them having this particular black lady. One chatting, one updating his status, one seriously involved in the game I love, Clash of clans.
   Once, there was a period when I was actually waiting for a software update from the firm for the Lollipop 5.0. Now, I have to wait for a whole new smartphone.

Sachin Tendulkar's legendary journey

"I see myself when I see Sachin play"  -Cricketing legend Sir Don Bradman Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, had represented India at the age of 16. Rather than asking 'How old are you?', people who were longing to query his age would have asked him 'How young are you?'. Such a prodigy he was and still is one. He was given his first international cap on 15 November 1989 and exactly 23 years and 364 days later, he played his last international cricket match for his nation and on a combo, it was his 200th test match.              Sachin has scored over a 34,000 international runs, and there are no exclamations for that huge milestone after describing him as a prodigy. But still seeing another cricketer of his quality and matching his frequency, is very far away from my eyes. But who knows he might be somewhere playing cricket in schools, or schooling in kinder gardens, or building blocks in play schools, or might even be an unhatched embryo.  ...

Object oriented SDK development

If you are someone who is into object oriented SDK development and looking for some best practices on API design, I have got you covered here. I have used C++ as the base to explain the core. OpenCV is one of the frameworks I have come across that does an exceptional job in providing classic and productive APIs in C++. Let's not waste time an quickly jump into the best practices of object oriented API design. Design easy-to-read API names First and foremost thing to consider in an object oriented SDK is the API name itself. Your API names should reveal everything. Keeping APIs as small as possible can be a difficult task but that is what you should deliver. The API should do what the name says. Nothing more. Nothing less.  Write your headers and review it Before you jump into development, it is important to code what the user wants. To have a crosscheck on that, write a header file(.h or .hpp) containing the public/private functions and data members. In this process, ...

The art of sleeping

     They say that living is an art but I am starting to think that sleeping is an art, too! It’s just not as easy as it was when I was a kid. Being an adult, sleep is not just a sleep. It encompasses of a mixture of various feelings that we undergo in the day life. A happy sleep requires 3 things. i.e., satisfaction at heart, peace in mind and the harmony in soul. But I say, the foremost requirement for a good sleep is a good day at the work. When you gave your all, at the work and go to the bed, I bet you it is the most amazing feel in the world.     Now, why is sleeping an art? I had a research on controlling the sleep. And to my fortune, it paid off. The research was about the concept of self alarm. Yes, an automated alarm within us which would wake us up from the sleep. The idea was very simple. I had an inner consiousness while sleeping which kept an indegenous alarm within me which would wake me up around the intended time.(No more ringing bells or 6am ...
