This is about a new advert released by the Microsoft for the new internet explorer. Every second of this advert makes you smile if you are the child of 90s. Those nostalgic moments just strike your head and makes you think back down the memory lane. Even though internet explorer is now just an ultimate browser that everybody uses to download chrome, safari or some other browser, I found this ad really good on the promotional basis, because it tries to create an emotional bonding to the product at sale. This is how adverts capture our attention on the whole. As of now there are many adverts that are out of the box and are creatively framed up to get in straight to the mind of the buyer. These adverts break all the barriers and stereotypical cause and effect advert making logic and strikes apart. 

Some other examples, that rise up on the top of my head are the Dove adverts. They just do it right. Empowering women, breaking barriers of same old adverts, getting it straight. Dove's ad campaign that points out how critical women are of their own looks is named one of 2013's best ads by some of the top executives in the advertising business. 

So have been in my holidays for literally 10 days now and yeah so soon its going to end. (Did I mention it ends day after tomorrow). After my submissions I literally had a few days to breath in the fresh air at last. Nevertheless all my efforts paid of in getting good grades, my highest in the row of all my exams. 

As I have been awake all through the night for my exams, even though they were over I had some sleepless nights as my wake cycle is literally messed up. We love it, an app that I downloaded from the playstore has given me an amazing company along the lines of sleepless nights. This app is mostly like an instagram(yet! not really) because this consists of mostly pictures, photos and quotes based on the social trends. ( check it out you might actually like it ♥). This app is a lifesaver in putting me to sleep along with Wattpad which is a community for reading and sharing stories. Recently I read Elenor Candler's secret twin and The baby project. (Can guess, I am not a big reader of epics and novels, rather I prefer shorter scripts!) 

Talking about apps, I rediscovered one of my favourite photo editing app Pixlr express which I had already tried a year back, but never kind of liked it. Now I can see there have been so many updates in the app since then which looks a lot efficient and comes in handy. It has a lot of functionalities, editing filters that do not require any downloads, and also a great pick of free bokeh effects. 

Here is the list of some of the must have apps for photo editing! 

1) Pixlr express 

2) Picsplaypro

3) Pocketbooth

4) Photogrid

5) Aviary

Next post is going to be on the pros and Cons of the facebook graph search app. Something is never really a useless one. For the statuses that said its useless and threatens privacy, here is how it can help! :) (not to sound a stalker but yeah!) ♥ 

Recently I have been undergoing a great confusion on whether what means of communication we use in our day to day life is good or is it some sort of a mirage to not facing people directly. Yes, I am talking about the technology boom that is taking place. Eventhough I am a Tech-savvy who never really blames technology for what's happening, I now take some me hours to just wait a minute and think about what really I am doing and what I really want to do. 

So, coming back to the story, yesterday I was travelling back to my home with my parents in a taxi. It was an hour and half ride, so my dad decided to talk to the driver. (and yes, the story already started!).The way he was talking seemed like he was very arrogant towards technology, (not really, but the way how people use this technology). So, he starts with the first incident that nowadays when I talk to my grandson about anything, the first thing he is takes his mobile phone out, starts scrolling and never looks at the person who is talking to him. And near him, his dad asks, (13*6 ennapa? which literally translates to what is 13*6?) . 

Son: 1 min dad! (quickly unlocks his mobile and you already know what would have happened, okay, we all have done that atleast once! :P, this is what we are mirroring today!) 

The second instance that he gave was about a person whom he left on the Chennai airport from siruseri (A place in chennai). So apparently the person had to catch the flight at 8:45 in the evening. (So he was in the car by 8:00). The person said to the driver, 

"So I have to reach airport by 8:30 and from siruseri to airport it is 45kms and the car travels in 60km/s so can't we easily reach the airport in 30 mins"

And there the driver stuns up and says,

 "But you forgot the 10 signals that we have to cross and easily that takes 20 mins of our time"

So yeah! eventhough this is funny, this is the state that v now live in.. :(

Okay, too much instances spoils the whole story, saving the other few for next time..

So, to give you an example from something that I watched today, I saw a vlog from bubz (a youtuber- fashion related), who has just got married and is on a trip. And you ask me how it matters! It does.. 

I haven't visited Bora-Bora, Raiatea or Taha'a of the French Polynesia Islands, but these vlogs help me to see the place, listen to the story behind it and who is telling all these to me?! My favourite youtuber, what more would you expect to entertain yourself. 

Donno why I got a passion for make-up and beauty over the past few years(maybe because of the overflow of makeup vids on youtube I guess :P). And one other good thing that I did last year, my project! (research on vlogs, to be more specific, 'How people perceive vlogs?) A Double thumbs up for this since I got a first for my work. (WOoHoO..). The list of youtubers I watch has extended to a list of 20-25 maybe (but whose every single vlog I closely watch) Watch out for my next post on the list of Youtubers I watch.
