If you are awake past midnight in Bangalore you can observe an eerie silence outside. The soft hum of the vehicles are almost missing. This is so part of our lives that our ears are trained to ignore it. But absence of these sounds will surely remind us that's missing. It is absolutely scary to look outside. It is not the darkness; it is the emptiness that intrigues me. Infact, everything is lit up. It is the same road that carried numerous people and barking dogs couple of hours back.

Means private companies makes you spend double for the products you buy from them.
Google Wave was an awesome collaboration tool even suited for aggressive, ad-hoc conversations. This video made me feel like I let a talented-somebody perish in my carelessness. Real fatherly feeling. Google Wave is asking you: "Did I deserve to die?". Google's vengeance is upon you.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is a technique that mimics the high sensitivity of human eye. HDR delivers awesome photos when done correct. The trick is taking multiple photos with under and over exposure versions of the same object and stacking them together to get a single photo.
