Lately, I've been visiting so many restaurants and trying different dishes, that I'm sure I'm turning into a foodie. I just checked what the word 'foodie' meant, and the dictionary.com had to say the following:

"A 'foodie' is a person keenly interested in food, especially in eating or cooking."

Now exactly, I am not sure if I fit into the category of foodies; but if being a foodie also means having an interest to taste different dishes or try a new restaurant every time, then yes, I am a foodie.

Talking about the cooking part of the definition, I like innovating my own dishes, instead of following the traditional method. I usually add my own masala, spices, and the perfect amount of salt, in order to make my dishes taste yummy. But yes, if I don't know how to bake cookies, I would definitely need a recipe for that.

Coming back to the eating part, I eat lunch outdoors on every working day. I get so hungry until the lecture is over, that the little whales swimming inside me, start moaning. I have to have some foodstuff to hush those mischievous whales.

We have formed a group of around 14-15 people, in the college. We either eat in our college canteen, which has over 100 dishes in the menu, or go out and dine somewhere. Every time we think of eating outdoors (other than the college's canteen), we've tried some new restaurant.
I wholeheartedly like checking-in on Facebook, and every time I check-in, I feel tremendously happy. (My friends become happy, as they don't need to go through the long, pain-in-the-ass procedure in order to check-in, as they know, I always do it for them. Maybe it is my 3G network that's doing the trick!)

I've recently tried different flavoured bruschetta, skewers, pasta, sizzlers, pizzas, coffees, and many more yummy dishes! I'm so happy to try a different dish and a different restaurant every time; you have no idea!

Here are some of the food photographs I've clicked recently:













Are you a Foodie? x


PS. If you wish to know the names of the dishes and the restaurants, comment below.

I'm so excited to add the About Me picture on my blog. I loved the simple design; and it matches the blog too.



This is the overview of the About Me picture. I love this change!


Do you have any recommendations for the About Me picture? x

Lately, I've been spending my leisure time in reading the eBook namely 'Blogging for Dummies'. I wanted to know any tips the book had to offer. I would love any sort of tip related to blogging, which I don't know.

Anyway, reading an eBook has been fun. I've read around 173 pages of this book, and I feel like reading more. I read whenever I get time. I use my Asus Transformer Book T100 and HTC Desire 820 to read. Just today, my traveling partner was absent in college, and I had to pass the train journey myself. So I opened the reader and started to read further.



I'll share some features of the PDF Reader on my 8.1 laptop, and Acrobat Reader on my cellphone.

On my laptop...



This is the Screenshot of the current page I'm reading. The letters are quite big.



In the Reader, after long-pressing a particular word and dragging it, we can either Highlight, Add a note, or Copy.



This is how the highlighted line looks like.



You can add a note to a particular selected word/line/paragraph.



After right-clicking, you get these options. There's a 'Find' option, where you can search any word in the whole book.



In the 'More' option, you can see these options further.



After selecting the 'Bookmarks' option, these are the bookmarks that get displayed.


On my Cellphone...



This is how the screen looks like after opening the PDF File on Acrobat.



I changed the readability, and kept a reverse (white letters on black background) effect. I have zoomed in the book.
 


After tilting your cell, this is how the screen looks like. The letters become quite larger in the landscape mode than the portrait mode.



These are some options.



Just like we could highlight and copy in the PDF Reader, even in Acrobat, we have those options.


I wouldn't say reading on cellphone is really comfortable. I could read a page in the moving train today. So you could try as well; but reading on the tab is anytime easier. I wish both the readers had the option to increase the font size.


Which PDF readers do you use? x

 I had purchased this laptop sleeve as soon as I'd got my results for MACJ. I knew I would be carrying my laptop (or just the tab) to college, and I would need a case to keep it safe. Though this one is not hard and wouldn't protect the laptop much; but at least the screen would be scratch-free, and apart from that, I would have to carry it cautiously.



 I purchased it online from amazon.in for Rs. 849. I thought it was a good deal, as I've seen cases that are costlier than this.



The brand is Amzer and the size is 10.5. My laptop's size is 10.1, and so this case is a bit larger.


 

 It fits my laptop and tab pretty nicely, though there's a 0.4 inches gap on top of the sleeve. In case you don't know which convertible laptop I own, you may want to read this post.)
(Liked the TPCG stickers? You can check its post out.)



Plus, the sleeve looks so classy while reading on my tab. (A post on eReading is coming soon.)

Here are some of my favourite picks, compiled just for you:
