I remember making an account in FB, post the 2008 US elections, and me being one of the couple of people from my group to have an account till 2010-11, post which FB took off like crazy and orkut died some years later. It was a couple of nice years for socmed.

It's already very difficult to avail banking if you don't carry a smartphone. I have a very inactive social media and I am working towards reducing my dependence on smartphones, at this point my most viable option is to move to another country that hasn't "modernised" their banking infra.

Development tools were a strong suite of Microsoft from the beginning. But, VSCode is really great and admirable.

Rudy Huyn had published so many great apps in the windows store. I still use 6tag, his instagram app for windows.

I am using prescribed glasses since I was in 3rd grade. I feel like I'm wasting money when I spend more than 1000 INR (around 15 USD) on glasses. I can't imagine spending 700 USD on glasses. I can live on that money for about 4 months with that money.

I recently started playing Saints Row 4. In the casual mode, its an easy game with an overpowered protagonist. It's really relaxing when a game gives every weapon in the beginning and let us choose the way to use them.
