Five best Open source (and FREE ) software you should be using already!!

For those of you who do not know what Free and Open Source software is,Google is your friend.
[Free = Free speech and not Free Beer]. Its okay,you can read this article without any prior knowledge of open source.All software listed below are free to download,or at least try.Keep in mind that the latest isn't always the best,sometimes going down a version or two can really help with the stability.It may require a little breaking into the new shoes,but the output is definitely worth it.This is not to say that all proprietary software is useless,but its good to know that we have alternatives.

1: No License for Microsoft office? 

Use LibreOffice,KOffice or OpenOffice Instead.Its free,stable and has more features and add-ins.Explore before you give up and thank me later


2: Use GIMP ( GNU Image Manipulation Tool) 

to "Photoshop" your Photoshop woes.Again,stick with it,you'll be rewarded.And check out Blender if you're into modelling and animation.


3:What?? Open Source Antivirus? Seriously??

Yes,you heard it right.The 'thrown in for free like coriander and chilies'  antiviruses like Quickheal ,panda and McAfee just aren't good.Do yourself a favor and download ClamWin or ClamAV.Again,just thank me later.


4: Give Notepad++ a try.

Its down south in this list because its already very popular. If you code,script,debug or use text editor regularly,you'll fall in love with this cute green chameleon promising an upgrade to your basic text editor.Try Atom too.

5: VLC Media player. 

You might be using it already,but do you know you can do a lot with this one little tool? Explore it and be prepared to be taken aback.

Thanks.Drop by in comments if you want any other suggestions or have queries.

    The early employments of these tools reach out to the moment that loaders, control projects and linkers were utilized on the lookout. In those days, the tools were lightweight and basic. emv sofrware 8.6

    There is composing software accessible that causes independent writers to be more gainful and can spare you numerous long periods of significant time. That implies more hours to take on extra tasks or more opportunity to go through with your family and your companions or in any case making the most of your independent way of life. emv software

IIT Kanpur MBA Interview experience 2016

H ello. Trying to blog about an experience isn't my forte , comments would be appreciated. While I looked for articles on this topic, I didn't find anything useful. So here I am to tell you about my experience. I write CAT 2015 in November and my result was quite a shock (dont ask why)!!.I knew my chances were bleak,but something in me whispered to fill out the application forms. I filled out the MBA form for IITK &  was called to IITK Campus for further rounds on April 3,2016 at 2 PM. Upon reaching, the first hall we had to report to had busy student coordinators handing out the checklist. They also offered to help with photocopies and other last minute stuff, which showed how meticulously they took their work. After the checklist, I was sent to another room where all my documents and mark sheets were verified, percentages recalculated and submitted. I was allotted a number and a panel. After this, we were escorted to a conference hall where the briefing abo

5 new ways to drape your dupatta and scarves this year!

Hey all,attempting my first fashion related post,Do let me know how is it in comments. Scarves are a cheap yet chic way to add an oomph to an everyday outfit,and can be worn in winters as well as summers.It is important to pick a scarf in the way you want to wear it,whether it means picking a scarf as the star and building an outfit around it,or realizing you need to fix a malfunction (pee-a-boo) and add a drape to soften the look.The fabric,print and the color affect how each knot looks,so play around. I scourged through Pinterest one lazy afternoon,and here are my best picks. 1: The half bow: Effortless and sexy.Works well for long as well as short scarves. Courtesy: http://womenelite.com/how-to-tie-a-scarf/ 2: The Belt-it-up: Closer home,south Indians wear a waistbelt with sarees.Our designers took it up a notch and belted lehenga dupattas were all the rage last season.So pick out an old kurti,belt a short scarf and get ready to rock!
