BREAK THE CODES!

With so many inexplicable expectations in mind, just because I've seen a couple of Dan Brown's works on screen, I started eagerly, this thrilling ride. Cryptography and Network Security had been one of my elective papers at college. Hence the prerequisite knowledge necessary for knowing what the Digital Fortress is all about was already with me. The art of deciphering codes, Cipher processing giants like TRANSLTR, cyber laws, virus filters such as GAUNTLET, kill codes, Anagrams, Backdoors, Rotating Text Patterns, Brute Force Attacks and so much more jargon that could make cryptography, an interesting subject for the readers even if he does plumbing, for a living.             

 The Stratagems employed by the Crypto personnel in breaking codes, bypassing filters, tracing e-mails and the virtual existence of the Paramount peacemaker NSA were all just spot on and beyond question. The operative actions taken during the last minute in order to protect the firewall shields from malicious sources were just phenomenal. Dan brown strikes the right chord again!A perfect read for intellectual techies.Digital Fortress------------------UNBREAKABLE!

MOVIE REVIEW-POSSUM

Possum (2018) Director: Matthew Holness Starring: Sean Harris, Alun Armstrong A defamed children's puppeteer who is emotionally unstable and psychologically scarred plans to dispose of his grotesque puppet.

ALL FOR NOTHING

  A text's verbosity reaches unfathomable grandiosity when poetry meets prose. Michael Ondaatje is gifted enough to weave a tale that's tragic in parts but wholly serene. At its core, "In the Skin of a Lion" treads the rugged path that courses a life chart making the journey somewhat worthwhile. Patrick Lewis is wildly swayed by the situational currents while what he truly yearns for is an ounce of regulated love. Love that is messy, uncompromising and effusively profound enough to make him feel things. At the fag end of his life, Patrick understands the universe's twisted sense of humour. In Patrick's case, timing plays a cursed role. Expectations are detached to deadlines. Everything has to run its course.  Alignments don't care about our whims and fancies. "Trust the process", we've been told.  But here's the neat part. By the time the pieces fall into place, everything ceases to makes sense; all dwindled down to a bunch of baloney. Al...

THE CASTLE OF HOPE AND FAITH!

THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS!   After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this.  Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...
