A Devine Skyline

I still love the old city clinging on to what it was while its getting a make over.

Duck Sauce - The Big Bad Wold [Music]

Love the beats to this song. Nothing spectacular, just that the tempo and chilled out and cool. Btw, I would not recommend the video of this song to anyone as its NSFW and a lot of people found it to be tasteless. I though it was creative, extreme and conversation starter. Enjoy the song.

Mumbai - A city under perpetual construction

A view of the city landscape with soaring concrete and the machines that build it.

Mumbai city is dreaming big. The local authority, business and Realtors want to make it a mega city. I am not sure if the people of the city share the same vision. For someone who was born in this city, its already changed a lot to be recognized or compared with its former self.

Commuting daily to work in town from my sub-urban abode, I see the new slowly and surely creeping into the space of the old. Change is part of any cities growth. But it should consider the collective interest of all and not just a few. With residential apartment cost that matches or beats the cost of housing in big cities like Tokyo, New York and London, one wonders - is this city changing for good or for worst.

Jolla - Smart phone with a personality

Jolla Phone with Sailfish OS and customizable phone covers

Ever since the announcement of the Jolla phone, I have been eagerly anticipating the release this new phone in the market. My interest in Jolla brew with two key ingredients -

• It was started by Nokia's ex employee's.
• It was open source 

The nokia culture and design has always been the key to its success. I could understand the disappointment when Nokia abandoned the Meego  project and went on to embrace the Windows platform. Open source has always been the heart of Nokia's software philosophy. So, for someone who always loved their handsets, the liking for opensource went beyond just trust. It was also in experience.

When Jolla was announced, they got Sailfish Operating System as the default opensource OS for their handset. For those who have experienced The Nokia N9, the user experience would seem very familiar.

Now that the Finish company has just launched this handset for the EU market, I can only hope and anticipate its launch in Asia, and specifically India. Check out this advert for the handset which sets the tone for Jolla's user base.
