It was just another Sunday (17th December 2017), and I was lazying around soaking some sunlight in my home's terrace and suddenly my phone started ringing. It was my bud Siddharth Roy - sidroy0508 (will call him Roy from now on). He wanted some help in installing some accessory on his KTM RC 390 (that's what he said). I took my trusty good'ol Toyota Etios keys and went over to get his stuff and tools to my place, as I have a decent sunlit area in front of my garage to work on such manly stuff. :cool: This guy showed up with a black box and a Bosch briefcase-like full toolkit (with drill and …

Ready Player One: A nostalgic ride back to the 80s
As some of you might know, I am a regular listener of a few tech podcasts. One day while coming back from work, I was listening to some episode of "Tech Stuff" from HowStuffWorks. The podcaster mentioned about some novel "Ready Player One". It is a story based out in future about how some VR game contest led humanity to be obsessed with 80s pop culture just to win a big prize bounty. I, being a nerd, immediately summoned Google assistant and asked it to take a note "read ready player one" on the Keep. And just like other stuff, it soon got lost in the myriad of other notes. But then one day …

My experience with OYO rooms | Review/Rant
>> Final Update #6 (20th May'16) After all this fiasco, what did I learn? In India, despite being a startup, no one likes to follow the process. Whether you are applying for a Govt ID, or you want to surrender a postpaid connection or if you want to complain against a mishap. Unless and until you make noise on social channels or use a medium which may trigger bad PR for the company, generally no one cares. If you are a reader of BitSnapper from a long time, you can obseve the same pattern at my post for Den Boomband, Royal Enfield, MTNL and MTS. This platform was supposed …
