Very well made movie. Probably Varun Dhawan’s best acting so far. But wow is the movie dark. There is no happy ending.
Since past few years I have been avoiding such serious movies when life is already full of tension. But as I don’t like to know the plot before watching a movie, I had no idea what this movie was about.
I guess once in a while such depressing films are fine.

I have been using TransferWise to get paid since more than a year, so I can safely claim TransferWise is way better than PayPal.
I end up paying 1 to 1.5% fees when getting payment via TransferWise, while PayPal used to take approximately 4.5% in fees.
TransferWise sends the money much faster to the bank account, usually on the same day.
PS: I wish TransferWise paid me to say this, but they didn’t. But then with their lower fees it has kinda paid for itself, so may be they did?!
If you use my link transferwise.com/u/debasishp to sign up they will give you a free international transfer of up to £500. And if 3 people sign up using my link then I will get £50.

I had purchased my current MacBook Pro on 13th April 2011. My primary & only computer. I use it daily for rigorous web development work & entertainment. Everything I have is because of this machine. It is still going strong.
Specs: 13-inch, Early 2011, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 processor, upgraded to 8×2 1600 FSB DDR3 RAM, 320GB SATA HDD.
Issues: One single green vertical line on left side of screen, some grey smudge looking spots on one area of the screen, DVD player not working, card reader not working, internal audio is not good, color coating gone off from 8 keys, on its 2nd battery, on its 3rd power adapter.
So if your question is how long a Apple laptop will last, the answer is atleast 7 years. I am not even married that long!

Saw it last night. Good movie. I like that they have shown nice things about Pakistan & its people. We need more love not hatred in the world.

I love my web host. I always link to their site using my affiliate link, and I have sent a few customers their way in the past. But their affiliate banner was a low resolution GIF image shown below.
GIF banner they had
So I took it upon myself, got the SVG logo from their site, and recreated that affiliate banner in SVG format using Sketch. Close enough?

See that? Exactly!
So I sold my 1 TB Western Digital My Passport USB 2 external hard disk for dirt cheap to a student who came with 3 sketchy looking friends to pick it up.
Then I bought a 128 GB SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3 flash drive. The thing is so tiny its almost invisible.
Now it is connected to one of the USB ports of my MacBook Pro for ever.
And Time Machine is taking regular backups to it automatically every few minutes. Backup A game!
