Walter White’s right hand, Jesse Pinkman displays his erratic behaviour of loyalty and breaking free from the rising drug lord.
This show chronicles the transition of a common law abiding citizen into a notorious drug lord.
The show progresses rather slowly, allowing more time for detailed explanation of the plot. If you manage to get past the first few episodes, addiction is guaranteed! The development of Walter White overtime is the most interesting and how he gradually breaks his big secret to his family is also of significance.
Walter White who was as benign as people get, transformed gradually into a drug lord, murdering people, blowing off drug pits, hiring criminal lawyers and maintaining impressions to establish fear of his wrath. Lets see how Walter White changed visually as the show progressed… Continue reading
Internet Protocol Address is to networked device as mailing address is to an apartment. IP address serves to identify each and every device on the network, be it your laptop, your iPhone or the main server of Google. So technically, if you know the ip address of your aunt’s computer cross-continent, you can access its camera (this is precisely what happens during a video call).
At its crude form, an ip address consists 12 digits separated by 3 dots (separators), i.e. an ordered quadruple of 3 digits each (don’t be alarmed, it is explained visually below).
Your computer used the 12 digit ip address of our server to open this webpage. Continue reading

Set in medieval times, Game of Thrones is the story about lust for power in the mythical kingdom of Westeros, the land of seven kingdoms. It is about the politics between influential families, and their individual members. There is a fairy-tale touch to the story with some unexplained forces like the White Walkers and dragons (yes, real flying dragons).
If you are looking for a change of environment, from the modern urban settings to an appreciable depiction of medieval times, with an interesting plot to follow, this show is for you. Be forewarned, the creators have gone to great lengths to paint an aura which matches closely to our knowledge of those times; and this involved scenes of serious violence and gore.
For the all the fans out there who have already relished this brilliant show, lets share some trivia surrounding it, just to add to the experience…

TV Series are one of the most certain ways to pass time, one never runs out of them. With a typical TV Show season spanning something like 15 hours, one is never short of stuff to watch. However, good TV shows are not as simple to find, and by good I mean awesome.
Here’s a list of my highly rated TV shows. I have started to review each one of them in detail, with related media links and tidbits, and will be updated continually to link to the latest reviews and additions/modifications.
What are your ideas on this, care to share your list?
General Overview
An innocent man is condemned to death for his involvement in a political high-profile murder case. His brother, a Structural Engineer of brilliant intellect, certain of his innocence, breaks his brother out of prison. But as the story reveals itself, there is more to this than just framing an innocent man.
Prison Break Season 1 is simply awesome. One is literally glued to the screen, watching one episode after another. This show takes thrill and suspense to a whole new level.
From Donnie Darko and its mysterious cover, I quite honestly didn’t know what to expect beforehand. To describe the movie in a word, it was “confusing”. The depiction of the story was convincing, with meaningful characters but I couldn’t really make much sense of the sequence of events as they were revealed; it was a paradox, at the very least.
Curious, I searched online for a detailed synopsis and there it was, the whole story explained, every piece put to the place it was meant to be. I skimmed through, but it demanded more focused attention; I tried to read closely, but couldn’t find the right motivation. It seemed as if I had come to accept the confusion surrounding the plot, as if confusion was what made the movie worthwhile, it was what, in my opinion, made it beautiful.
Confusion is the inability to understand, decide or make up one’s mind relating to a situation. It is the state of inability to think clearly enough to discern or decipher a particular situation. Ambivalence is a direct product of a confused state of mind. So many voices from within, without a dominating one, which stands apart, does lead to agitation every once in a while. The acts of a person who is convinced and able to comprehend a matter with its full complexities, antonym of confused basically, are plainly organised and planned.
But I am here to argue that some confusion is good in certain cases. A degree of uncertainty, that whisper of doubt which tells you to reconsider, is only a sign of your living existence, proof that you are indeed human. A confused person weighs both pros and cons with an open mind, in search for the way which will satisfy him the most. This broad mindedness resulting from confusion is quite contrary from the obstinacy of a decided mind. A degree of confusion makes us question, makes us ponder over the matter, giving rise to a healthy mental debate in most cases. If the matter is not decided, one can consider all the possibilities without any implications for transitioning from one approach to another at this rudimentary planning stage. Some things are better off left unsorted till the right moment, or forever maybe. It might be fruitful to stay in the dark for a while, and let things be; leaving the natural course of events unperturbed.
Being confused about some things is definitely more desirable than being certain about some things only. Confusion may lead to a creative and innovative approach of cognition, but it should never be allowed to circumvent one’s curiosity.
So, how often do you embrace the confusion which sprouts around you???
