Pradhyumn, a Class 2 student, was found with his throat slit just outside the ground floor washroom of the school on September 8 morning, minutes after his father had walked him and his elder sister Vidhi (who is in the fifth standard) to the campus. Pradhyumn had gone to his classroom after saying bye to Vidhi, and then to the washroom at the other end of the floor. First the case was being handled by the Gurugram police.

But CBI after taking up the case claimed that it was the class 11 student of the same school who did this crime and his m...

Razer Phone - Brilliant First Attempt Credit: Razer Two years back we got to see a very interesting project on the Kickstarter website. It was called Nextbit Robin, an android phone with a special feature. It automatically backed up data (upto 100GB) including apps that you were not using for a long time to the cloud, thus giving you the impression that it had sort of unlimited space, because you could keep on downloading and installing things on your phone without really running out of space. The idea was so well received that within the first twelve hours they reached their funding goal of $500,000 which they had hoped to reach within a month. By the next two weeks they reached their second milestone of a $1 million. Credit: Nextbit The design was unique too, kinda boxy, slightly reminiscent of the Sony phones with a fingerprint scanner-cum-power button to the side. The colours were unique too. The midnight (blue) was my favourit...
