An old watch. And what's inside.
I remember some of my childhood days, the days when the Hardy Boys’ bug had kinda bitten me. Hard. I loved reading those books, watching spy movies, and that is when I started loving, enjoying gadgets, especially ones with cool spy stuff. One of my birthdays in the same period, I was gifted this real cool spy watch. It had motion sensors, a tiny voice recorder and quite a handy flash...

Infographic: What's inside a USB cable?
Was getting bored. Spotted a broken USB cable which I happened to get back home from Manipal. Also, unboxed my brand new multimeter. Which is quite awesome, by the way. And I do love to click pics. Hence, this infographic. :D
So, lets see what’s inside one. Using a pair of wire cutters, I broke off a piece of the broken wire, so as to remove the insulating material.
So, if you strip of...

PIC? AVR? Confused?
First things first, this post is not mine. I just found it on the interned a long time ago and had downloaded the page. Now that some people have been asking me the same question, here.

The first day after hell.
Well, today was officially my first day after the end semester examinations. Officially over the post-exam freakishness, it was time to start the first day of the glorious winter vacations. Yeah, I am still in Manipal and not at home but that’s not a problem at all, at least I am not studying here. Today was all the more special - walking to the recreational center after a good night’s...
Aaand, I'm back!
Phew. It’s been some real tough two weeks. With the internet not working and people studying their asses off (me included, apparently), life just sucked. But not anymore! End sems are finally over! And with that, I am finally back on the blog!
