The list of impractical and pointless apps in our smartphone centred world is endless. Yet, there are some apps that stand out even in this “useless” category. These apps are at the top of the podium when it comes to being counterproductive.

Remember Me Lover

The hardcover is clothed with a blue dust jacket with an illustration of two egrets flying among clouds and above the title. The clouds, I believe, represent Kalimpong, where the novel is set and the story unrolls along its winding roads. Sometimes it leaps over continents and focuses on another character living an immigrant life in New York City. Sometimes, it travels to the past, shedding light on history.

The term “bucket list” was coined by a Hollywood screenwriter who used it as the core idea behind writing the movie, The Bucket List. You've probably seen or heard about it. Fun fact: the first item in the man's bucket list was to have a screenplay produced into a major motion picture. Well, congratulations.

When you talk about homegrown memes, the name Asif Zaman is sure to come up. And why wouldn't it? As one of the most prolific meme-makers in Bangladesh and being the content director of Rantages, he has built a large fan base with his continuous output of top quality content. Being a fan, I was honoured when I got the opportunity to pick the brains of the man behind the memes. Following are some of the excerpts from the interview.

Do you know what beauty is? Have you ever wanted to experience all the beauty that the real world and our imagination have to offer?

For me, personally, one of life's under appreciated phenomena is the scandalous feeling of indulging in a guilty pleasure. For example, locking yourself in a room, making sure no other soul will hear the blasphemy you are about to commit, and then eventually blasting “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry on full volume, singing along to your heart's content, but still shrouded in the paranoia that someone will find out your deep dark secret.

Limping men are likely to have been hurt, unless they're method actors.

University can be considered an inexplicable place exempt from the traditional rules of time and space. One moment you walk in as a freshman with eyes full of wonder and a heart full of optimism, and in the next second you walk out as a person -- years older with slumped shoulders carrying the wisdom you wish you had before. In between there is a blur of moments that are impossible to distinguish from one another.

In a game we're often forced to pick between wishing whether it had a better narrative or better gameplay. But you know what, why not just settle for a game that is purely narrative, forget gameplay or keep it to a minimalist aspect, you can always just enjoy a game that's mostly to entirely story.

Firstly, know that your software – a mobile or desktop app, a website or an API – will probably be overshadowed by projects more hardware-oriented, like a robot or an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The reason is simple: it looks better in a stall. You can clearly see the judges' eyes glittering with excitement when they see a mechanical hand being all robot-y and whatnot, flinging itself here and there while

These are all words etched into a bass players mind. At some point in their lives, the humble hero will go through some serious self-loathing and under the right circumstances will decide to fiddle with their cousin's acoustic guitar before finally becoming an accountant. However, it is very much possible to keep your bass players motivated and happy with the following statements.

If you google the actual definition you will see that it is termed as an educational simulation through which you will develop leadership skills and can learn about diplomacy and international relations. Ideally that should have been the case. However, it's not . Why? To understand that you will have to know how MUNs are actually promoted and what goes on during the conference.

Being a 90s girl, I'm accustomed to forming mutual bonds with people over books, TV shows, movies, music, and other forms of pop culture from that decade. To be precise, I'm a flagbearer of fandoms. However, one thing I usually notice these days especially from people who consider themselves 'not-too-mainstream' is a sort of disdain for the whole fandom culture. Those of us fanboying/fangirling are labelled as childish, frivolous, or social media attention seekers with nothing better to do.

“Vulture Unit 32, departure in one hour. Remain under 800 meter radius of the rendezvous point.” The comm unit in Abbey's hand buzzed with a thick layer of static. The voice of her squad leader disappeared as she shifted her attention back to the task at hand. She marked down the time in her comm unit. Remembering things had never been her forte. But remembering to brush your teeth was one thing while remembering to get back to your ship before it left you stranded in the ruins of the old world was something else entirely.

It's another dark day. It was a sunny morning but looks like somebody suddenly stole the humour from the sky. It had seemed like a great day to go out without an umbrella, I thought, waiting under this sun-shed in front of a departmental store. This is why you should always listen to moms. The thundering is making the dark city glow with heavenly lights for split seconds. The cool temperature and vapours of

Counterfeit blessings, Virtual possessions, Freedom costs ineffable pain.

Sugar syrup, ghee, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and lots of oil. These are the ingredients brought together to make sweet and swirly pieces of sugar-dripping dough famously known as jilapi, perhaps the most loved sweetmeat in this part of the world.

The movie “Ready Player One” is set in a dystopian future. In the year 2045, much of the world is left in ruins and by that time humanity has accepted the fact that it would not be able to change this. As an escape from this harsh reality, everyone spends their time inside the virtual reality software, OASIS. The place is named so because inside the place you can be anyone you want to be, do anything you want to do, and go anywhere you want to go.
