I had my brush with Darknet (or Deepnet) by mistake on clicking some links that sent me on a trail that I quickly terminated. It was enough for me to ask Google Chacha for his advice. I have time and again thought about such a possibility, parallel universe, good vs evil, anti net, mysterious net… Read More »
Getting back to an ‘ex’ is never an easy task. To expect the romance to flame up or to start from where one left is over expecting the welcome. It is a lot more complicated that when a person decides to join back his ex-organisation. The homecoming, boomerang employee is not a new phenomenon in… Read More »
I am sure we all vote YES for flexible-timing. I also would bet most of us have experienced remote working. Yes, thrive on such a technology marvel and dream of the constraint-free life unveiling before the new generation. We are blinded by the advantages to miss the twin edged swords of technology.
