abhi_destar As for using GPRS, that is not an option available for all tablets. As for that, you will have to specifically ask the dealer whether the device is only wifi or accepts a sim card. If it's the latter, then you can go for a GPRS plan convenient for you.

Seriously.. I mean, when I posted a poem of mine which was lauded as very good by other authors on Writing.com, I just got one like, and one comment, though that one comment was very profuse in its praise, and I thanked the person...

abhi_destar That is a very well-thought out response, doroffee, and I agree with every word that you said, even that of the blurry pic of a half-eaten donut!!! You are right in that the guys who shower the likes upon the "cute" girls are actually trying to...

abhi_destar I almost agree with Lamb, maybe FB will have a criteria soon enough so that only brainless oafs who are only interested in posting pics of themselves in a hundred different poses are allowed in there!!!

abhi_destar Thanks for the encouragement, lloyd. But why is courage needed to just press the like button? I do go on to post whatever I create on FB, because at least it's one place where I can get some feedback, if any. That sort of...

abhi_destar I don't want to apply any tricks to get fake likes for my post. It won't give me satisfaction at all, as those likes have been generated by me only. Someone else has not come and actually liked it for what it is. Yes, maybe someday I will be appreciated. Let's...

abhi_destar Exactly same thing I've also noticed. A girl posts "Feeling so sad today", and a hell lot of guys go ahead and like it!!! I mean, what are you trying to say? "Hey girl, I love it that you are sad, stay that way"!!! It's like that Enrique song, "I don't know...

abhi_destar You certainly have got a point there. Maybe it's just easier to digest stuff which you are already familiar with. But that should not be an excuse for never trying anything new. And please, I don't want to die before I get appreciated!!!

abhi_destar Yes, it seems like that only. Just fake people who put on fake appearances to be appreciated by others. It's only a place where people regularly go to check what other people are posting, who updated their relationship status, in other words, snooping around...

abhi_destar That's a nice thought, I must say.. I have already joined guitar class, but somehow, fate always plays spoilsport with me. It's only a lot of guys who come to learn here, and only a handful of girls, who are still in school!! Have to find some other social...

abhi_destar This is the way which I myself also follow, but apparently people of both sexes are nowadays running out of time, which is why they are now committing themselves first, and getting to know each other later. And old school thinkers like me are never getting out...

What is it with people spitting out questions after questions here and not bothering to answer any responses. Ugh! I see the roughly the sames names again and again and occasionally a few new ones. I spend almost an equal...

abhi_destar Don't blame you, pal, for feeling frustrated. Quality discussions are hard to come by nowadays, and it's useless to start any discussion since it will inevitably get buried under a deluge of worthless questions.

I have seen this quite often in my life, and I sometimes wonder about it. Whenever I tell of the hardships I am currently facing in my life, (mind you, I don't crib or anything, but just lightly say what the problems I have to...

abhi_destar Maybe, it's the case as you say. In that case, I am thankful to them. But their tone doesn't suggest it. In fact, they sometimes make it abundantly clear by asking me why am I such a crib, when they are facing more challenges than I will ever face in a...

In my previous discussion, I had told you people that I was going to begin reading the book The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien, which is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings series. The book really joins the threads, even from the...

abhi_destar Well, not entirely, I should say. The book has been compiled by Christopher Tolkien, the son of JRR Tolkien from the scripts left by him before his death, which he couldn't convert into a full-fledged novel. So the narrative is not so descriptive as LOTR, but...

abhi_destar I'm responding to you after a reeeeally long while, ally. So what are you currently reading? Don't know whether you'll even see this. But I have reached and passed that part in The Silmarillion which you were talking about which is indeed the chapter "On Turin...

abhi_destar Well, that is seeing from Frodo's viewpoint only. But if you see from Aragorn's side, he finally regained his kingdom after such a long exile, and was united with the love of his life, Arwen. Frodo also chose the path himself, and was happy with what he chose,...
