Difference between Climate and Weather

A lot of us tend to think that Climate and Weather are the same. I have heard some people even asking others, "How's the Climate today?" and the other party doesn't know what to say.

Well, the confusion is somehow justified as well because both the words refer to the same natural phenomena, but the different lies in their measurement time.

To put it in simple words, Climate is Weather over a long period of time, like 6 months or a year or even many years, whereas Weather is the instant phenomenon at a given hour or a day. Weather often changes frequently at many places during the day, sometimes changing every 15 minutes as well. However, on a longer average, climate doesn't change that frequently. If it changes that frequently, then it's doomsday for us.

Hence Global Warming is also referred to as Climate Change and not Weather change.

Next time when you greet someone, say "How's the Weather today?"

Cheers.

Posting from Email

It is still fun to post from Email and I am thoroughly loving this feature from Blogger. This is one example where Google makes things innovative.

And with everything going mobile on a daily basis, this makes absolute sense now.

Where have I been?

Over these years, I have been so involved with life and work, that I forgot to attend to one of my passions - writing.
I do remember having created this blog, but then I neglected it like old furniture. Now it's time to wake up again and create meaningful posts.

Do tune in people for some more updates and interesting articles/stories/reviews from me.

Nokia Lumia 1520

Many of us have dismissed Nokia as no longer being the market leader in smartphone industry, and this is confirmed by the fact that Nokia sold its phone division to Microsoft.

There are numerous reasons why Nokia couldn't match to the likes to Samsung and Apple and Blackberry (though BB is not doing fine these days). It could be timing, it could be marketing, it could be the wrong choice for the OS for their phone. Whatever it be, One thing is for sure that Nokia is not dying and Microsoft is reinventing it.

I was tired of using a Samsung Phone. Worst performance, productivity issues, lags, hanging and everything bad. I had had it enough.

Didn't want to go for an Apple, because even though there were hundreds of people telling me the benefits of buying an Apple, I personally felt its not value for the Money that I would spend.

And then came the Savior! Nokia Lumia 1520. A Monster in its class with superior performance and a mind blowing screen. The only drawback - a not do familiar windows OS and lack of applications(though that is changing fast). Trust me, even I was very skeptical about buying a windows phone, but after using it, I am amazed at how a simple OS like windows can be really really productive and hassle free to use. Never experienced a single lag while using my Nokia.

The best part is the camera, Stunning pics and a Cam quality video, with humongous space of 32GB built in. What else do you want?

Gaming is also fun, so is using MS Office. Smooth touch makes it much fun to use.

Brilliant Job Nokia, Keep it up.

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines

A sheer disappointment. Truly, its a waste of directional effort and the vision envisaged through all the 4 movies previously released.

In other words, sloppy performances, not a great script, predictable outcomes in certain scenes and a small town setup which doesn't look like one. Though I would still recommend watching it to continue the pulse and feel of the story.

Youtube's Amazing Feature

Lately I have been uploading some videos to my YouTube account. Since I has shot most of them using my HD enabled Smartphone, there were bouts were it resulted in shaky video moments.

I am not sure what kind of extreme algorithm YouTube uses, but then by asking it to correct the shakiness in the video, it produces amazing results.

I had read about some mathematical transforms which work on digital signals, and that includes pics and videos, which enable us to modify them as needed. And I believe the engineering team of YouTube must have found out some great combination to produce fantastic results.

Leave it on Google to deliver the best, Always.

Hike Messenger - India's Answer to Whatsapp

Recently, I heard about a new messenger in the market called Hike. Similar to Whatsapp in terms of messaging functionality, it is slated to be India's answer to the world of instant messaging platforms. And above all, it is being built, developed and backed by one of the telecom powerhouse in India, Bharti Airtel, with the son of the chairman, Kavin Bharti Mittal being the brainchild behind this brand new messenger.

Google "Hike" to know more about the history of the messenger, the developer behind it, the features it has, the platforms on which it is available and also to know more about the unique feature of sending sms through the same messenger as well.

Talaash - The Answer Lies Within

Everyone waits for a Aamir Khan movie and I am one of them. An Ardent fan of Aamir purely because of his choice of movies and his amazing acting prowess. Therefore, I went to see his new release Talaash yesterday at a so called theatre near me.

First and foremost, Talaash is a good movie with a different story line and a new concept. So this Film would be enjoyed only for people loving slow movies that reveal the suspense at the end. It is not that bad a movie as being claimed by people, and I include some of my friends in people as well.

The Movie begins with an accident of a famous bollywood star. The case is now being investigated by Aamir Khan and the movie is about his journey through the investigation and also involving a personal loss in the form of the death of his 8 year old son. What follows is definitely interesting for thrill seekers and some of them still new to the story would enjoy the suspense that unfolds at the end.

However, a word of caution. This is actually not an Aamir Khan standard movie. By standard I mean the calibre or the subjects or themes he chooses for his movies. This is vastly different from what is perceived as "Aamir Khan Standard" and that is the reason of disappointment for many, including me. Personally, I would not recommend watching Talaash for the sake of it as this could have been made keeping any actor as the protagonist and not Aamir. That's the most disappointing part. His acting skills have not been fully utilized and I feel that the movie does not do justice to the likes of actor like Aamir.

Nonetheless, watch this movie for a different and a refreshing story. But if you come out of the theatre disappointed, then please don't blame me as I have warned you much in advance ;)

Why is the US worried about a bean grown in India

Usually, the US should be worried about making their economy bounce back, as double dip recession still haunts them and unemployment rate is at an all time high. But then I read about something which is amazingly surprising.

The US is actually worried about the escalating cost of Guar Bean grown in India's State of Rajasthan and the reason why they are worried is because this little crop has the ability to escalate the cost of oil extraction in US.

Oil Fields in Texas use a gum like substance made from Guar bean to use a technique called as Fracking, which enables them to pump oil more than 10000 feet below the ground. With a failed monsoon in India and the fear of an impending crop shortage, the price of this bean has escalated from USD 2 per KG to USD 30 per kg in recent months, and this is making the Americans shit in their pants.

Guess you can't shun us Americans, Can you?
