We're at the times when instead of forcing your kids to go outside and play, we're trying everything we can to keep them inside. Keeping them inside is not a problem but giving them something to pass the time is. If you want to give them something that is not only entertaining but educational as well then these are some softwares and games that you should introduce them to.

You got a new PC, got fresh Windows install and now you need some softwares. You may have noticed that all the best softwares are not free. I'm not saying that you're wasting your money on those softwares but some of us don't need all those features that come with the premium softwares. What if you need just few basic features of them? Then paying full premium of that software might seem a little extreme. And acquiring those softwares by "some alternative means" might pose a risk to your system as they could come with viruses and malwares. So if you don't require the full fledged premium software then these free and open source softwares might prove to be more economical option and at the same time, more secure. So here are some softwares that are worth trying  Libre Office It is the biggest competition to Ms-Office for a reason. It supports all the major features of many office suites. If you're not a Ms-Office wizard who does some work with Ms-Office exc...

During the lockdown, I joined many new Facebook groups and websites. And specially on Facebook, every 2-3 days apart I see a question being asked "what is full form of ____". Most of the times some random people Google the question and simply copy paste the first full form they find. All of us use Google for answers, Google is just a tool to look for answers. Everything you find on Google is not always true, it just searches every website on internet and shows the pages that contains the words from your search query. So it is upto your judgement to decide whether you should believe what's on website. I don't blame you if you believe those full forms, some of them are really convincing.  If you came to this page from a Google search result then you have all the rights to question my credibility. In fact I'll be glad if you do question my credibility and do a research by yourself. Anyways, this post will be a dynamic one, ie I'll be adding more and more full for...

In one of my previous posts, I wrote about PC components but didn't share PC builds. This post will be one of those where I just share the PC builds.  Cheapest Home/Office use PC Processor Athlon 200GE 2 cores 4 threads 3.2GHz  Vega 3 integrated graphics Default TDP: 35W Average price: ₹3600-3900(if someone is asking more than that consider different sellers or different builds) This little guy is often underestimated. In countries like US and UK, you can find some really powerful used processors at the same price, so they(US based tech youtubers, who have huge following in India too) highly recommend those processors over this. But here in India, things are different, used markets are not for everyone. Try searching Ryzen 5 1600 on OLX. If you remove location(ie nationwide search), even then you'll find hardly 5-10 listings at approximately same price as buying new(new costs around ₹9000-10000). And on top of that, the listing would be from a different city, or even different...

Minecraft, one of the few games that never dies. If you check trending games on YouTube, you'll find it on top 10. It's been on top 10 for quite some time. Infact you'll probably find it trending on majority of streaming platforms as well. And it's trending for a reason, two actually It runs on potato: if you have a working PC, you can probability play it. There's no fixed way of playing it: there's no story mode, you can make your own story. The game ends when you end it, there's no winning or losing scenario. When I first tried Minecraft, I was totally overwhelmed. I had zero idea of how to play survival Minecraft. And in early days, the handy recipe book didn't exist. Either you had to figure out everything on your own of you had to refer to online resources(tutorials, wiki, etc). Even with recipe book, you can still get confused on your first t...
