At some point or the other in your life you must have heard this phrase that “Whatever happened, happened for a better good” , “Everything will be fine” , “One day you are gonna be thankful that this happened ” etc. Well I am not saying they are wrong, all these phrases are 100% correct but the way they are interpreted is wrong.

Like if you don’t get a job or meet with an accident or are in some sort of financial crises, then there is nothing good in it. However, if you stand strong at that time, after sometime…

So I have watched the harry potter series a lot of times. I binge-watched the complete series recently in the summers just before reading the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. But then some of friends told me that the story in the original novels is quite different and a LOT of details are missed in the movie. So, I took kindle unlimited subscription and started with the very first book Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stone.

GitHub actually allows you to host websites for your projects directly from the repository itself. It will have URL something like https://<username>.github.io , you can add your custom domain to it too. If you haven’t done it, GitHub has pretty good documentation about it. You can read it here.

Now, let's suppose you have already set up a custom domain and your default site is accessible through https://example.com . Now, if you create a new repository named project , and enable GitHub pages, it will be accessible through https://example.com/project but sometimes it makes more sense to have a custom sub-domain…

Recently, I got an opportunity to work on an awesome project which included hardware and software development. The project was about Tractor Telematics. For starters, we needed to track the location of a tractor in real time. So, we the one and only way for it was to use Raspberry Pi and a GPS module. While trying to make things work, I faced a lot of problems in the configuration and there was no one-stop guide for it. …

While working on a recent Django project, I was stuck when I needed to send custom context in redirect request. I googled a lot and still didn’t find any way to do so. Hence I devised my way to do so.

Since you are facing this issue, I am assuming you have a basic idea on the working of Django. So, we will not go into details.

Assuming you following two views in your views file.

Today, I was thinking about how quickly and how vastly our priorities, importance of things and people, change over time. Personally, I have seen that one thing which was once very important in my life now is just speck of sand in a desert.

The reason today I started writing about it was very trivial; my end semester examinations commence from tomorrow. I still remember the exam time from my first semester, I was terrified (of course a lot less from the time I was in my high school) mugging up the formulas, solving the tutorial sheets, looking over the…
