The Mughal High Noon-ascent of Aurangzeb

This book tells you the very anitcipated story of how Aurangzeb, out of all the others became the ruler of hindustan after shah jahan was considered unfit. This book will also tell you how much witty and cunning Aurangzeb whilst giving you a perfect mixture of hatred and love for Aurangzeb. As idiotic as it may sound, Aurangzeb was pushed back by all the strongest rebel forces that being; Dara- through the imperial side Shah Shuja- through the eastern provinces of bengal  Murad- from the western side of gujarat  and Emperor Shah Jahan himself.  But he managed to outwit all of them and also he became the successor instead of Dara Shikoh I would rate the book as:  Reading experience: 7/10 Clarity of text: 6/10 Characteristic intelligence: 10/10 ( Aurangzeb it is, what do you expect?)  Worth the time and money ( after all time is money right?): 8/10 Overall:7/10 This book only lost its reviews because the text was not clear and i found multiple mistakes here and there.  Bu

3 Theories about Baahubali's return

With just a month left for the release of Baahubali 2, here are some theories you might find interesting that try and solve the biggest mysteries from 2015-2017. Sivagami Devi gave orders to kill Baahubali? In the first scene of the first part, Sivagami says "Amarendra Baahubali's son has to live.Let me succumb to my sins" Judging by what she says, she might have been the one who had ordered kattapa to kill Baahubali and now she feels guilty as Bhallala Deva has taken over. She might have had differences with Baahubali because of his fondness of Devasena. What happened between Maharani Devasena and Bhallala Deva? Remember the first scene in which Bhallala Deva says that the latter chose Amarendra Baahubali over him? From the scene where Baahubali rescues Devasena, Rajamouli has hinted that there might be a flashback which tells us the real story behind Devasena's captivity.  Kattapa killed Baahubali.  This does not come as a surprise.When the makers released the t

Nuts!

Hey folks! I was looking through my refrigerator hoping to find something to eat, later this after noon and i saw a couple nuts! I thought that i should share some information about a few types of nuts! Nuts are usually dried seeds or fruits that consist of a dry shell and seed which are usually edible and are of provide great nutrition value for the human body. Nuts are a healthy dose of mono and polyunsaturated oils. There are few types of nuts which are quite common. Some of them are: ALMONDS: Almonds are special. They contain the highest amount of nutrients than any other nut. If you avoid dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and milk sweets , you might want to consider almonds ‘cause they contain the perfect amount of calcium needed by the human body and in some cases , even more than milk … surprising right?!!... and there’s more in store … almonds are also one of the very few nuts which are rich in vitamin E which is the nutrient that helps in the whitening , b

Flashing yellow lights

So, earlier today i was going to a place for some work with my grandmother when i saw these peculiar traffic signals which had blinking lights.  All of us had might noticed this but i am sure that we never decided to understand the purpose. I did quite a research and found out that they did not mean that the lights weren't working but they do serve a purpose. I have never seen flashing red lights but apparently they too exist.   A flashing red light means come to a complete stop, then proceed when you can. A flashing yellow light means proceed with caution. This is not a regular daily post but just something i wanted to share with all my readers for the welfare of the society. -Rahul 

The new Google Pixel (for geeks only)

Google’s introduction to the smartphone world; With its recent android update, Google also released a new phone which runs android 7.1 out of the box. Being the first phone to run android nougat 7.1, it also comes with a few features which make it worth the almost-iPhone cost. The google Pixel, is a powerful device running snapdragon 821 chipsets providing  4 GB RAM, which make it easier for the phone to handle services and applications to conserve battery for the not so high-end 2770mah battery. It has two variants, separated by screen and battery sizes, the pixel and the Pixel XL are not very different. The pixel XL has a 5.5’’ screen and packs a larger 3450mah battery. If you are that person, who keeps taking selfies and photos or  can’t get enough photos of your dog to post on Instagram, you should choose the 128 GB variant over the 32 GB one. Choosing a phone from such a company liable for students passing their exams shouldn’t be a tough call. But that is when the cost co

Pokemon Go's Latest Overhaul

Weeks after its release, Pokemon Go is still reaching heights and its recent overhaul which updated the app to 1.3.0 ( iOS) and 0.33.0 ( android) introduced a couple of features which had its users astonished as jailbreaking and rooting were of no use now.But, if you have jailbroken or rooted your device and are not using those features you should be fine as the developers have confirmed that they will not be removing the app but you will not be able to use the app if you are yet fresh to root or jailbreak.As all games have, cheats are already rolling out on Reddit about how to hide the rooting process from the app. They also introduced the 'Buddy Pokemon' feature which basically allows you to appoint a pokemon to feature with your trainer during exploits which make it easier to evolve your creatures based on how far you walk as you earn candy. This also made the game less bland and a little bit easier to earn candy which was earlier done by transferring them to The profess

Looking For Alaska-book review

Not very long ago, My holidays started.And as a bibliophile, i started reading this book, Looking For Alaska by John Green.  I found the book vaguely interesting and it has a great story-line.  The plot twists so much that circus rides bow down. But there is one thing:  It leaves you heartbroken. This book has many characters and they also have a nick-name which is easier to remember and makes it fun. So, i will vote it out of 10:  Reading experience: 8/10   Clarity of text: 9/10 Characteristic intelligence: 9/10 Worth the time and money ( after all time is money right?): 10/10  Overall:9/10  I would definitely recommend this book and as usual, John Green has done it again.Hope you like the book.  Happy reading!  -Rahul xoxo

Losing Wordpress

Okay lets face it guys. Wordpress is the worlds most used blog hosting service. But there is something that Wordpress isn't really good at, which happens to be security. Now, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, security is defined as: "    measures taken to guard against espionage or sabotage, crime, attack, or escape "  In this case, we are dealing with highly professional hackers who are powerful and knowledgeable enough to hack into the US power grid.  so, what do we do?  We are going to learn how and why they do it.  An average day on wordpress sees around 500,000 views new posts .

In general, K1 (phylloquinone) is the form of the vitamin chiefly derived from dietary sources such as leafy green vegetables and soybean oil, while K2 (menaquinone) is produced by bacteria in the  intestine .16 While K2 may be more important in  bone  mineralization than K1, the amount of K2 absorbed from the  gut  provides  Why do people take vitamin K?
