The day I became a DAD

The day I became a dad.

Outside the operation theater of Yashodha Hospital I was anxiously standing near its open window, looking outside and keeping my thoughts concentrated on just one thing, what next???

The previous night Swagata, my wife, could hardly sleep. She complained of severe pain every five minutes. We both thought that it was due to some acidity and nothing else. Just a day before that she was discharged from Dr. Nilu Khuneja's nursing home and then she was fit and fine.

Suddenly the door creaked open as I startled and looked back. A nurse was peeping out as she asked, "who is with swagata? Please come and see your son."

I couldn't believe my ears. I walked down to a small trolley in which wrapped in a blanket and cotton was my son. So small, weak and not crying at all though trying to.

My life suddenly changed. My perspective changed. I was looking at a small creature whom nature has nurtured in its own enigmatic ways inside my wife's belly. The fusion of a sperm and an ova, both the size of less than a few micrometers across, has resulted in him. What elegant engineering must have gone into such creation!!!!

As I stared at him the following words from Brihadaranyak Upanishad floated in my mind,

"THE ENIGMA OF LIFE CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD THROUGH THE STUDY OF ITS MANIFESTATIONS. ONE MUST GO TO THE ONE, THE SOURCE TO KNOW THE MYSTERY OF MANY".

As the trolley was pushed into the nursery, I realised I have become a DAD. 

Managing Apps on Android Phone

Hi Guys I am back with my experiments again.

You might already know this but I got to know only today so sharing with you in case you are as ignorant as I am.

This time it was about managing apps. Those who use Android would know that the number of Home screens is rather limited and generally 16 apps (1 x 1) can be put up on one screen. Now my Canvas 2, running on Android ICS, has 5 Home Screens which gives me a maximum of 80 apps (1x1 size) to be loaded. But since certain widgets take up a lot of space (like weather widget takes up an entire Screen) hence I was and my wit's end to figure out which app to keep and which to dump. And then I stumbled upon the solution.

Coincidentally we need not install any more app. It is an inbuilt function of Android which I saw when in desperation I placed one app on the top of another app and they both got stuck at one place. On gently tapping the fused tap the door to the holy grail got opened. Look what I did in the following pictures.

As can be seen the two apps can be seen on the two sides of the screen. Now the next pic will be of one app on the top of the other.

So now the two apps have fused. This can be done by placing one app on the other. Now when you want to choose the apps just tap the fused stuff and you get something like the one given below.

So you have ended up creating a folder in which you can not only load N number of apps but also name it.

Now my entire app world is right there on the front screen.

Now if you guys have not done it yet, then do it and be on with it. Trust me this simplifies your life to a great extent.
