Life at Bugsmirror | 4 min read “Habibi, we are in Dubai!” That’s the first thing I remember saying, as our car sped down the Sharjah to Dubai highway at 110 km/h, all six lanes gleaming under the night sky at 2:00 AM. The skyline ahead was nothing short of spectacular—skyscrapers stretching toward the heavens, with the Burj Khalifa reigning supreme. As we reached our hotel, despite being exhausted and wanting to rush straight to the bed, we took a long minute to admire the hotel and the Museum of the Future, just across from our hotel. Exhausted but too excited to care, I couldn’t wait for the adventure that lay ahead. Walking into our rooms- the first thing we did was roll up the window curtains- to take in the view- get a glimpse before we could explore the next day. And view we saw! Too many skyscrapers, amongst them the mightiest of all the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai World Trade Centre, the buzzling EMAAR Square, and one of the most happening streets of downtown Dubai right below our...

Life at Bugsmirror | 5 min read This year,  Black Hat USA , a premier cybersecurity conference held annually, took place in Las Vegas. It’s a gathering of security professionals, researchers, and hackers from around the world. And of course, Bugsmirror was there.

Starting our journey with shubh dahi shakkar, with heavy bags and heavier hopes for the event we reached the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi just in time for our flight. But our brimming smiles soon faded off when our flight got delayed, and we had to clear multiple security checks, each one more rigorous than the previous. We were pushed through these...

Away from the hustle-bustle of Indore city, our destination was - Junapani Waterfall 🤩. It is situated amidst the hills & forest of Junapani, a small village near Simrol, about 30 km from Indore. Early in the morning, we gathered at our office. The weather was pleasant and everyone was very excited about the trek. We boarded a traveller and began our journey towards Junapani Waterfall. Our first stop was Apna Sweets, Rau, where we had a fulfilling breakfast of Poha, Jalebis, Kachoris, tea & coffee. Then we went further and reached a substation in Memdi village, Simrol.

The trek was organized in coordination with “Malwa Trekkers” and 2 of their professional trekkers accompanied us. We got down at the substation and prepared our trek...
