Last night, it rained heavily in Singapore. I was stuck in office for an hour waiting to return home. After a long wait for a taxi, I got one to reach home by 8pm. By 9pm, I got a call. Caller: Hi, is it Mr. Kumar? Did you leave something in my taxi? Me: No, I don't think so. I didn't have any bag or anything in my hands. Caller: Are you sure? I think you have left your RSA token. Me: Oh!? Is it? Let me check... Oh yes..., it is mine. How do I get it back? Caller: I will give it to you when I am in your area next time. By 11:30pm, I got my RSA back. I must thank the cab driver who called me and finally returned my RSA token. I even called the cab company and gave my thank-you feedback.

Using the iPad as slate for our son: He did the above 'modern art'. I wrote the kannada alphabets for him which he enjoys reading.

The new toy (iPad) has caught everybody's attention at home. Our son loves apps by Duck Duck Moose . Interactive games and learning make kids stick to iPad. Apart from that, there are many nice apps for ipad that make it worth using. For me, I am happy using most of the social networking tools. Also, some of the apps are linked to wiki. These apps get updated on a daily basis that will make me read some new topic everyday. Online chat with voice also is easy. With iPad being more portable compared to a laptop, it is easy to move around the house with iPad in hand. For my wife, iPad is a boon! iPad makes our son eat his meal faster than ever before without running away from his seat. My wife used to have a hard time making him eat before we got our new family toy, the iPad.

Got an iPad today for my wife. The screen and video clarity is awesome! There are many apps for kids which we will be using to entertain our son.
