Dexter Season-1

Dexter : Season – 1

From past few days i was busy with work and most of time i didn’t get enough time to get myself refreshed by some good movie or game. Reason? Damn there are only 24 hours in a day. Out of which 9 hours are required to sleep and out of left 15 hours most of time is spent
in office (courtesy to project deadline). Gosh! i was bored with this dull lifestyle. No movies, no games, no outing indirectly numb at my personal life end. So i followed someone’s idea of watching a serial. I started watching Dr. House but in 2 episodes i found it bit out of interest serial (at least for me). After couple of day i begin with Dexter to give it a try, and finally first season of is over now, which i enjoyed very very much. :)

Here’s a gist:

Dexter Morgan, the central character of serial, is a very interesting character though. As normal humans don’t have, he had two life’s. At day time he’s living a life of a forensic expert working for Miami police department. He’s expert in recognizing the death scene incidents (mostly in order of incidents happened at crime) using blood spatters. The best thing he found in his job is his love for blood. Sounds abnormal? yes he is. Apart from normal activities Dex used to pretend a lot of thing which actually are not inside him. Few of them like love, affection and emotions. He can’t feel anything. And the most abnormal thing in him is his desire to kill people. That’s the beginning of his second life. The life of a serial killer. Awkward huh!..At day time he’s catching criminals and at night time he’s catching victims? yes actually, but these victims are not normal innocent people. He only kill’s those people who deserve to be dead, those who twisted the law and justice and proved them self to be innocent, but actually are not. He kill’s them so perfectly that there is on clue left. It seems the Dex victims just disappear because there is nothing left about them, no blood spot, no evidence, practically nothing. Dex was so perfect because his father taught him actually how to kill cleanly. Actually Dex was adopted by a police officer. His father loved him so much and that’s why Dex share every little secret of his life, even his desire to kill people also. But his father taught him principles too, principle of not killing innocent people with no cause.

Apart from these Dex had a sister who’s a cop, working with him actually and a girlfriend who matches his criteria, because she’s little reluctant for love and so do Dex.

The first few episodes of season 1 makes the base of Dex and other characters around him. But after 4-5 episodes another serial killer challenged him by providing him clue to catch him. The killer is popularly name Ice Truck Killer. And at the end he kidnapped Deb (dex sister).
Would dex saved her sister? Answer is in serial only :) … Overall it’s a very good watch (and not as addictive as prison break was)

I just want to say watch this serial, chances are your gonna like it!..

Enjoy!!

CAT 2009 goes online!

Finally the biggest rumor around CAT aspirants has gone true. Everyone heard rumors that CAT may go online from 2009 but some people criticised. But now news is out that “CAT is online from this year”.

CAT(Common Admission Test) which was a paper based exam for getting admission into IIMs(Indian Institue of Management) and other prestigious colleges, which from this year will be conducted online by Prometric centers all over India and may be available for other country people in their native or near by places(Which is not yet sure). The locations for the prometric centers is not yet available and may come out after we fill up the CAT form. The news is there that CAT will be conducted on a duration of few days(7-9 days) and we can choose the day and timings on our own as per our convenience. The exam will follow CBT(Computer Based test) patteren and may be they will switch to CAT(Computer Adaptive Test) pattern sooner which already followed by GMAT,GRE,TOEFL and other popular online exams.

The biggest problem which IIMs faced in conducting paper based exam is that the number of applicants were increasing very much and the security issue of this prestigious exam was a big concern. Already in 2003, there was a breach in the exam and later on was conducted again.

The biggest problem which i see in this new pattern is that the price of exam form(Around Rs 5000 as expected) will hike and hence it will be difficult of people who just wanna give a try to this exam, just have an experience.

Anyway still overall there will benefit of this approach as it is designed by great IIM heads :)

Google Chrome- Time To Rocks On!!

 

Chrome

Google chrome is the first Web browser by google.Launched on first week of september 08,this browser gave a great competition to other rival browsers like Firefox,IE,Opera,Safari etc. . .

               Well chrome is a smooth n very delighted browser,fulfilling almost every functionality which a morden browser should have.The browser gives the same feel as that of gtalk and gmail(Damn simple,clean and sexy ;) )…

Some positive features as compared to Other rivals(Firefox,IE) are:-

1. Much faster on my desktop as compared to Firefox 3.0

2. Special and seperate task manager for process in google chrome(Press Shift + Esc to have a look at them).

3. More Specious.

Well the negative things(or wher it lacks from Others) in browser are:-

1. No existing extensions or Addons as in case of Firefox(But google people said they will soon add API support in browser so that developers can design extensions for chrome too)

2. Same download manager window in browser window(Which makes it difficult to manage options while downloading files like pausing n resuming downloads)

3. Direct Download and installable only. No Setup file for redstibiutions via other media(drives etc).

 

Rest almost all of the features of Chrome are similar to that of Firefox upto my knowledge.The browser will be awesome when featured with extension support.Hopefully google will soon find out some way out.

Still i must say its a very good product by google.Hopefully it will be populated as other services of google are.

Happy browsing :)
