Parenthood

After constant crying for more than an hour, and after trying to pacify him for the same duration, Mrunmay and mamma are far asleep and baba is wide awake @ 2 in the morning !!!. The only thing he can do is to surf the net, FB, and blogging from his mobile as Mrunmay wants to sleep in his lap ...

The heavy winds on the top of the fort Panhala have taken the toll and Mrunmay seems to be suffering from cold resulting into ear pain. It took us a while to realize the actual reason as we thought it could be his legs or stomach. We had taken a tour of the fort in the morning where Mrunmay walked quite a bit with many ups and downs on the stairs at few places. That probably made us think it was leg pain. Meghana tried to massage his legs, but no use... Then we thought it could be gases in the stomach, so tried to apply some pressure on his stomach, it helped to some extent but he started crying again and this time he wanted baba only. After spending entire day in listening 'baba nako', this definitely was an opportunity not to miss. Meghana appearing helpless handed over Mrunmay to me, she wanted me to have good sleep considering the travel in the morning. We suddenly realized it could be his ears and brief inspection confirmed that.

Now we have put some ear drops in both his ears, he is sleeping well for last 30 mins or so, albeit in my lap and I am struggling to close my eyes!!!! Happy parenthood !!!!

Subscription Services

As the internet penetration increased over the last 2 decades, it also gave rise to digital subscriptions. The internet users slowly started developing trust in internet-based payments and that too on recurring payments. It probably started with the tech community using the recurring payment systems and slowly spreading that faith to non-tech-savvy users. There was also a phase when I started using the credit card for online transactions but wasn't comfortable storing the card details with the merchant. I used to enter the details every single time. (That is how I still remember the CC number that was in use at that time) In the late 2000's I was introduced to Ecom website development and since then it has been part of my professional as well as personal life. Over the years, I learned about the  PCI-DSS standard , and the extent to which the Ecom companies make an effort to protect consumer data. There have been instances of a data breach across the globe, but alon...

Movie Review: Chhota Bheem and The Throne of Bali

Image
Set in the beautiful islands of Bali, this movie is meant to entertain the kids. But unfortunately adults may not find it that interesting.  As usual, when Bheem along with his gang and King of Dholakpur reaches Bali, they find that Bali is in danger. Apparently, Bali's Queen is King of Dholakpur's sister and were invited for crowning ceremony of the prince Arjun. Upon arrival, Bheem and the team found that everything is devastated in Bali and there's no trace of Royal family including Arjun. After much of a search, Bheem finds the Rajguru (Royal Priest) who had helped the prince escape the wrath of the invader - Rangda.  The story line is pretty much predictable and there are no surprises till the end. Bheem needs to be the ONLY savior and it turns out to be that way. (This actually is a problem for children mentality, but I'll save the thoughts for some other time.) Overall animation is similar to the serial and there didn't seem to be any attempt...
