Mac OS vs Windows - The real deal!

Here’s the real deal.  Mac os VS Windows . A big-time debate in the history of mankind. Let me break this down for students - yes the Architecture students, obviously! So the storyline is since we all use software from our third year onwards, there comes a need for a laptop even if your college has a computer lab. Then comes our biggest question. Mac OS or Windows. Well, both these got their merits and demerits. The price difference cannot be considered a factor because you need to invest maybe even higher to get a powerful laptop. Both these are gonna burn a hole in your pocket. The mac user interface is smooth and the applications run well. But the number of supported applications is less compared to that which is offered by the windows counterpart.  Lumion, 3DSMax, and Revit are the leading software which mac os doesn’t support and it is quite disappointing. Running a parallel OS, well I wouldn’t recommend it. Well, if money doesn’t matter. Go on to the end o...

T.G.I.F.F. / The Great Indian Food Factory, Vijayawada - RRReviewed

When you usually get bored of hostel food, we come up with some places to hangout. And it so happened that we landed up in T.G.I.F.F. aka The Great Indian Food Factory, the not so new hangout place in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. As Vijayawada hasn't got much great hangout places, this was one good place. Located on the BRTS Road , beside Model Dairy Outlet, Divine Nagar, this place is accessible by shared auto or local bus. Great ambience welcomes you to this place. Consisting of around 8 - 10 fast food chains , this place was rather empty. The food was a bit overpriced as compared to other places and the choices offe red was too less. The roof top-dining area was a bit placid but could be spiced up a bit for a birthday party or get-together. The lighting was good and added life to the place. The seating arrangement was plentiful and well arranged. The only saving grace of this place was the #Hash Drinks juice stall and was totally worth the ...

Architecture as a field of study - RRReviewed

Yes indeed, why would I want to choose something else to review first, when I'm an architecture student. Architecture is one among the Professional degrees often titled as B.Arch (5-year course ) and it is not engineering against all the misconceptions. An immense field of study where learning never ends. An exclusive area worth experimentation and research. In this developing scenario, this field is challenging and offers tough competition. With more than 300 college spread across India, one has to be really careful about choosing the college, as this field of study is purely experiential. The institution should be approved under CoA- Council of Architecture. This field of study requires high level of passion and creativity. You need to put in your soul and life into each design project. In simple words, if sleepless nights and deadlines scare you, then this is not for you. Although, deadlines and submissions could be a terror and could get on your nerves...
