In Chandigarh on Friday to launch his book, Ankit says, “The book shares easy-to-read, simple tips, tricks and tweaks that will show you how to stretch the limits of technology and make your digital life faster, cooler and more productive. Internet and mobile phones are an integral part of our lives, but rarely do I come across people who are putting technology to its best use; in this book you will find those various possibilities.”

The 300-page book is divided into four main sections —Functionality & Productivity, Look & Feel, Security and Fun Stuff — where each section provides readers with practical tips and tricks. Sharing a few examples, he says, “From faking an incoming call on your phone (to get out of an awkward situation) to blocking calls, from staying invisible on Whatsapp to remembering where your car is parked, from accessing blocked websites to creating a
disposable email account — the possibilities are endless.”
