In today’s modern world, we can’t run away from having online accounts.

It’s part of the digital lifestyle. And this too, poses never-before-seen danger.

Many accounts (including that of celebrities) have been hacked.

Guess what? It’s not that the hackers are technically advanced but they use common sense to break into someone else’s account.

Think about it.

What do you use for passwords?

Your child’s name?

His birthday?

Your house number?

Your sweetheart’s name?

Your place of birth?

Your dog’s name?

The problem with this kind of passwords is they are open secrets. And easily available and found. [Read more…]

After getting home from seeing my folks out of town, we reached home quite late last Sunday. Upon reaching, to make way for the car to go in, we reversed another car. Without seeing a neighbor’s car behind, we hit and scratched it.

Since it was late at that moment and nobody was around, no one saw what happened. We had the luxury to keep the incident swept under the carpet. Or we braved ourselves telling our neighbor the truth. [Read more…]

Don’t get me wrong. I hardly watch movies, let alone going to cinema.

However after reading many rave reviews of the latest installment of James Bond, I couldn’t contain my curiosity but to watch it.

Last Saturday, I took my wife (yes, without the kids!) to watch Skyfall at a cinema after, God knows, how long.

To my disappointment, it turned out that I didn’t like the latest 007 movie.

Maybe I had different expectations. Maybe I am judging it based on the perceptions I have about the past James Bond movies: fast cars, latest gadgets, Bond girls… [Read more…]

Sometimes I can’t believe what I read.

Just like this piece of news that sounds so ridiculous.

It may sound crazy but on the other hand you can see how much parents are willing to sacrifice just to make sure children have a good future.

It’s a form of undying love.

Two people meet, fall in love and decide to live together.

And as the fairytales go, they live happily ever after…

WAIT!

This is not about Snow White or Cinderella.

This is reality.

I have a friend who has been living with her husband of 10 years.

When they first got married, the Husband was heard saying, “Do I need to change my lifestyle after marriage?”

I am not sure he said so out of naiveness or ignorance but it’s a darn good question, to be frank. [Read more…]
