Young Samurai is a fantastic nine book series by Chris Bradford, with so many twists in the story that I lost count. These twists make the story so gripping that I couldn't put the books down till the end . The plot is full of suspense and it is unravelled beautifully. The story tells us a lesson, that all powers and evil can be overcome with loyal friends , guidance and perseverance . 

 There is humor, action, lessons and history of 17th century Japan, all rolled in one.  There are many extras in the book like Japanese - English dictionary, origami , riddles, contests etc that add on to the rating.  I also learned a bit of Japanese. There are wise quotes here and there. There is everything  likable about the books.


The books in this fantabulous series are 

The Way of The Warrior



The Way of The Sword

The Way of The Dragon

The Way of Fire

The Ring Of Earth

The Ring Of Water

The Ring Of Fire


The Ring Of Wind

PC Build Log Part 1 - Inspiration & Parts Selection

​The old laptop was starting to show its age, with the slow spinning drive and faulty display. Scouring the internet for deals on budget laptops, I was disappointed by the lack of options with 8gb ram and solid-state storage within budget. So it was clear – we decided upon a custom-built PC! This was it! Finally, with all the research I had done in custom pc hardware, I can now use it to select parts for a home PC. I was stoked, as I always wanted to get hands-on with it (3 years of JEE preparation, then the first year of college and so on). I first searched for the most important part- the CPU. Within the budget, I saw three options – the Pentium Gold G5400, Athlon 200GE ( really wanted the 300GE but wasn’t available in India at that time :-( ) and the Ryzen 3 2200g. The Ryzen 3, while being the fastest among all three, was a tad bit overpriced. The extra cost, I felt was better invested in good storage and ram. The Pentium and Athlon were pretty close in performance, edge ...

PC Build Log Part-2 The Build and A Delivery Nightmare

A brief recap – The old laptop was showing its age, hence we decided to build a custom PC. I went over my process of parts selection in the last post.

The only part left was the motherboard – the one that tied it all together. This is where the hellish customer experience began. The product shipped was the incorrect model – slightly inferior in quality to the MSI A-320 A-Pro MAX that I had ordered. Fine, I returned it and ordered it again, this time from a different seller on Amazon. That was a mistake. They shipped a used (possibly a returned, faulty unit). It had clear signs of use – thermal paste marks, fingerprints on the I/O shield and the SATA cable pouch was torn open. Fuming, I returned it again, this time leaving a 1-star review for the sellar with proof. As if to add salt to the wound, Amazon rejected the review. Th...
