Why Is Overrated. How Is Everything. Well, Almost!

(Please bear in mind that this blog script is the one I used to perform this in front of live audience. ) Are you ready for some magic? This is a simple A4 sized paper. Can anyone pass their entire body through this piece of paper? Well, most of you can't and the ones who can I'm not going to let them do that. If you said you can't, Why can't you? Do you want to learn how you could do that? --Yes! Let's come back to this activity. Can you make some noise. You have to flip this paper into a half on the long edge and use a scissor to cut it like that. Onc

How to share a PowerPoint in Presenter view on Zoom with single-monitor?

How To File MCD Property Tax

Indian government websites and apps have forever been a tough nut to crack. Include in it the Aarogya Setu app, L&DO website (Central government) or the MCD website. Although they do help us get some work done faster but may be they want us not to forget the legacy of unnecessary delay and bureaucratic easily. May be it is part of their "Business" requirements.
