A problem from the past, Solution in the present

Its been few years since we discussed about this, the long due setup. Those long conversations didn't make sense back then, but now that the goal seemed possible, the convenience of such setup seem to me of great importance. Back then, as a student who seldom studied, free time was in abundance to repeat manual tasks. Well these manual tasks end result was to get entertained. I remember being part of these conversation, where the experienced folks always choose the simplification of the process, rather than follow the same routine manual process again and again. Imagine the amount of time, that could be saved and well it can be well utilized for seemingly more importance things. It always concerned me for my inability to come up with a solution or basic understanding of these features, well conversed and marketed, but never a truly utilized by consumer. Actually, the information flow ends there, on the other side, its just basic stuff, none of the fine aspects are really put t

This is my first post from the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard

The keyboard is pretty good in terms of build quality,look and feel. Adds weight to keyboard to make it feel solid in hand, unlike other bluetooth keyboards i have used earlier. The typing speed is pretty good for a bluetooth keyboard and especially blogging through phone is a breeze. Must have for all those who love to use mobiles for blogging or a typing a lengthy email or a long chat or a lengthy post on facebook. And yes it can play/pause music, increase/decrease volume and pretty accurate. And using this for tablets will increase productivity to a greater extent. Typing on tablets is the biggest pain area and the keyboard is perfect. The keyboard if paired with a mouse would have taken the experience to the next level. Model : K380 Make : Logitech Cost : Approx 1500/- On sale with e-retailers. Until then !!! Without Wax Naren

Fan

Fan Well the reason I was so eager to watch fan was the trailer, which was amazing. The bg score really elevated the curiosity of what's going to happen in the movie. It goes without saying, when expectations are high, even the best of the bests fall short. Such was the case with Fan. A lot was shown in the trailer and nothing more was present in the movie. Though this is one the best works of SRK, the film fell short on story narration. The pace was slow and considering the director took time to establish the characters, its fine.But it continues over to the second hand and last few moments of the movie was such a drag. Again this is not a bad movie, its just that the funda of expectation meeting reality never happens.  The CGI and Gaurav character was really well made and for once I could say, they matched the International standards and it worked out great on the screen. All other elements of the movie were  just perfect and added to the storyline, except the p

The phone's life saver doubles as wifi hotspot

Image
I started using Tata Photonmax Wifi card for few months now and the service was acceptable. But every-time there was a power cut using internet on mobile devices at home was a difficult task, For I have to switch on the computer/laptop to plug in the device, such waste of  battery. Downside of owning a smartphone , you need accessories to keep it alive or charged.So came the power bank. And while using the powerbank, popped the idea of connecting the data card to the power bank and bam there was hotspot that can be used with 5 devices simultaneously.  The same concept was then applied to a car charger with an USB port and again we have a hotspot in car.It helps with a back up reliable internet connection while driving, using Google Maps etc, especially in the city limits. Another advantage I noticed while doing this is saving the smart phone's battery, data plan etc. I am sure many would have these devices at hand. For those who do I definetly recommend these Tech recipes

That rainy night!!

Rains, occasionally are a very pleasurable experience.  Especially with nothing important at hand, keeps you wanting for more. That little breeze soothing the worst of the worst moods. Those little memories from childhood where rain is a great opportunity to escape the studies, school. Those weird games and dances in the rain with friends and siblings. Ah those times keep  refreshing the present and keeps you going. These days we seldom see those instances of childhood madness. It only happens in water theme parks not on roads, roof tops. Life has changed and keeps changing, bringing both good and bad.How do we give those experiences to the current gen kids. How do we emotional connect them to those days of ours ? That's a whole different topic to ponder upon. Only when the learned starts unlearning the fear and competition. So scene was further elevated by traffic light and light trailing from cars.It reminded me of my love to capture those moments. Especially with low
