Saturday-Pentacle, Week 2 Issue

“Saturday-Pentacle”

App of the week –

Microsoft SMS Organizer – Clean, Blocker, Reminders & Backup

Found this tiny little app from Microsoft’s new initiative Garage. This app is made by a Hyderabad based team of Microsoft and is mainly made keeping Indian users in mind.

This app automatically separates promotional messages, OTP messages and personal messages etc. As a bonus feature it also makes your transactional messages gorgeous. If you get any sms stating your bank account balance or credit card bill details. It puts them into a separate screen and you can do a fingerprint authentication to reach there and quickly check your balance and to see last date of your credit card bill.

It works 70-80% better than other similar type of apps. Looking forward to use it more.

Here is the android download link. Unfortunately it’s not available for iOS yet.

My most popular Instagram post recently —

Mr. Bhajan Lal Bhatt
.
This 4th photograph is of an old puppet show artisan.
.
He showed us a great puppet (kathputli) show inside Hawamahal. Such a nice guy that I naturally talked to him and his kin as they were sitting playing dholki drums there. Got to know, that Bhajan Lal is doing these shows from almost past 5 decades.
.
He entertained Kings, the democrats, the public, all of them. He said he used to travel a lot in his young days, he had traveled to most of the Indian states and big cities including Mumbai.
.
I asked his kin don’t he want to do anything else than doing this puppet show. He said no, it’s their legacy. That is what they are known for. I couldn’t say anything but admire.
.
If you go to Hawamahal don’t forget to see this puppet show, you’ll help save historic legacy too.

Interesting article I read —

What am I watching —

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – My recent binge watch series. A woman named Mrs. Maisel get divorced and then do what his estranged husband couldn’t successfully do. Stand up comedy. Amazing and curious tale of Mrs. Maisel.

Quote I’m pondering on lately – Re-quoting Samuel Beckett. Because it inflects what I’m going through right now. Try, Fail, Try again.

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

— Samuel Beckett

Until Next Saturday!
