Horoscopes

I might be an engineer graduate(will officially graduate this weekend) but I have some faith in things like horoscopes. So, I have a feeling to prove this horoscope is actually true. Every day, every horoscope I read is different in different sources. Probabilistically, one of those should match my daily experience and so to prove that horoscopes work and someone can predict your future. But the only catch being, we don't know which horoscope is our correct future. You have a million mobile apps, Facebook apps, Newspapers, Magazines and what not!
I realised that it is quite useless to read all those horoscopes because I would spend more time to shape my life to match one of those horoscopes, rather than do the things in the way I would have done. So, I came up with this brilliant idea that I would read the horoscopes at the end of the day. One of the horoscopes would definitely match my day's experience and I would feel very happy that I am leading my life according to the movement of stars. I told you it was a brilliant idea.
Today, I ended up reading the following horoscope in a mobile app which closely fits my day. However, the only problem is that today's horoscope tells me what to do tomorrow. I am in a big dilemma, whether to go on with the horoscope or go with the flow of life and take the chances to scare the Gods.

Once again, Moonchild, you are faced with having to forgive someone. You sometimes have trouble with this concept, and so you probably need to be reminded that forgiveness is more for you than it is for those who have offended you. But the bigger problem with your current dilemma is that the one you need to forgive probably doesn't even think he/she needs to be forgiven. It's hard to be gracious when someone who has hurt you doesn't even acknowledge being the cause of the injury. But you have great power right now - the power to just let it go without analyzing it. Just let it go.

My Ice Cream Sandwich

A couple of weeks earlier, Google released the next version of Android, named Ice Cream Sandwich. In honour of that I made my own Ice Cream Sandwich :-D.
I hope Samsung ports ICS to my phone soon!

My new phone

I previously had an Nokia N95 mobile which i liked very much. Though it didn't have touch, a new trend among mobile phones, it had a pure multitasking experience. It runs all the applications in the background and you could close them when you wanted them to close. Moreover, it had a beautiful camera 5MP.

Well if I had such a wonderful phone you must be wondering why did I replace it. Sometimes I seem to have "butter fingers". When you drop your phone flat on its screen from 5 feet above the ground, you don't expect to see it again in one piece. At least my N95 was not in one piece :-(. After this incident i had no choice but to change my phone. But, I changed to an old model phone from Nokia. No multitasking and no 3G, but it was nice for messaging. so there started my search for a better phone.

After 3 months of waiting and pondering over which phone or rather which OS I must be using, I settled on Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android (Gingerbread). Why this phone particularly? This is the best phone on paper, beats even the iPhone4. And also that iPhone 4 was coming to the end of its lifecycle, no point buying it before the release of a newer iteration of iPhone. Another nice phone was HTC Sensation, but I didn't consider it because HTC doesn't have a service centre in Bengaluru.

It has been nearly a month with my new phone and I love it. Though I have not explored it very much, I have made myself familiar with some apps. The best part of the phone is its weight. It feels like a feather but with a large screen. My favorite apps include Twitter, Dolphin Browser, Handcent SMS , Google Maps, Places, Gmail, Google Plus and of course the (8MP) Camera. Android lacks Games unlike iOS. The first game everyone links Android with is Angry Birds and yeah I have them. I expect many more games to be released in the coming months.  

Just a week ago I discovered my phone (or rather the camera has Pink Spot Syndrome. This means that there will be a pink tinge at the centre of the photograph. This is abnormal and no one seems to know the cure for it. Some say on the internet that 70% of the S2 suffer from it. Moreover, you will observe it only while clicking low light pictures. Also the phone has a bad overheating problem. The battery back-up is less than what I expected. S2 has the largest of the batteries so I presume I must be over using the 3G internet.

All in all I feel I have bought myself one of the best if not the best phone in the market. More importantly I like the phone.
