Lenovo A6000 - The best among the rest

I was a Samsung mobile user for quite some time, but my friends who started exploring new brands made myself try one. Realised that the market is flooded with different range of mobile phones.

My last phone Samsung Galaxy S Advance was gifted to me by my wife two and half years ago. At that time that was the best in that budget. It was a good phone.. But...

But now, I thought putting 20K away for a phone was not that great idea. My phone screen got damaged due to my carelessness. So got the Mauka to buy a new phone.

Researched (I love this word) on mobile phones and decided to buy Lenovo A6000.

My Criteria for this choice - Light Weight (about 130g), Sleek (8.2mm), dual sim and the best part a HD 5 inch screen IPS and Dolby...

After i got registered for the sale at Flipkart and got thourgh the whole process of buying in a breeze, and getting the phone delivered the very next day, I realised , I made a really good choice.

When there are people around showing off Xiomi, Gionee, Motorolla and Samsung's , the Lenovo A 6000 stands out.

The phone is absolutely good in terms of display, sound, weight, size and user interface.

The biggest positive of this phone is the battery life, with a 2300mah full charged battery, the phone lasts for more than a day and half with normal usage of phone calls, catching the movie to and fro in a metro from Dwarka  to Kaushambi i.e. 2 x 1hr 10 minutes, WiFi & data usage all day.

The negative is the camera which is a 8 megapixel rear and 2 megapixel front... The rear camera is no where comparable to a Sony/ Samsung,  but definitely better than a Micromax, Lava, and the likes...But the front camera is definitely much better for a 2MP cam. Video chatting is smooth on this phone.. 1 gb ram makes life easier with different apps working in the background.. There is no freezing of frames or hanging of phone.

The phone comes with 8gb internal memory where only around 4 gb is available for general use, so an external memory is absolutely necessary for movies and pics. It supports 32GB external memory card.

Definitely worth a buy for Rs.6999/- and thus i can understand the vanishing of 40000 phones in 3 seconds on Flipkart this March 11.

Stunt Bikers or Lawless Citizens

Stunt Bikers or Lawless Citizens.

Recent killing of Karan Padey while riding pillion with his friend Punit Sharma while stunt biking on city roads by police is shoddy. Police claimed that the bikers did not stop and pelted stones at the PCR van and the inspector, Rajneesh Parmar, aimed at the tyre but hit the pillion rider. The bullet for the tyre killed the rider Karan Pandey, only son of a lonely mother.

Police justified their action, but was the firing necessary for flouting a traffic rule of dangerous driving.  This is a serious threat to all the two wheeler riders, as the capital is 24 * 7 *365 barricaded and if unknowingly you don’t stop at some barricade , you might get killed.

The police is inefficient in finding how these biker gangs in hoards of hundreds are planning a common destination for their stunts. It seems they are very much inspired by the likes of Fast and Furious , Gone in 60 seconds, they are doing it for fun.

Stunt biking is a sport but practicing it on city roads is lawlessness. Lawless should be booked but should not be killed on roads.

Big Change - Living a Meaningful Life

Big Change - Living a Meaningful Life

The stories of Evan, Mittal and Arunachalam are simply amazing. Living a life for a cause is not easy but is simply amazing. All the three stories, Stopping gendercide, Plight of Nomadic Tribes and Usage of Sanity Napkins, is all happening in today’s world and we all know about this but these people have taken the issues into their own hands for the benefit of a lot more people and yes are definitely living a more meaningful life.

The first story by Evan Grae Davis is about stopping gendercide. Gender specific abortions is on the rise in India, though we have rules that pre determination of sex is illegal and is punishable under the law, it still persists. Mr Davis, a world traveler filmmaker by profession is working towards this cause.

The second story by Mittal Patel talking bout the plight of nomadic tribes, who don’t even have a voter's identity card to prove their identity is astonishing. Government has certainly taken to the cause of serpents than human beings. Amazingly Gujarat, a state which is in news for all kinds of development, this is the other side. A community which earns livelihood by prostitution is heart trenching. By getting 8 women married from the community Ms. Patel and her organization has helped the community to get a life.

The third story by Mr Arunachalam Muruganathan is a success story. A jolly good man, taking the stage to laughter with his anecdotes. As he speaks about his experience of the strange way the chemists behave when asked about a sanitary pad is extremely funny. But yes off course it is still true in our country. Though very little educated his concepts are really interesting. That is the reason he is invited to country's big B schools for lectures.

All the three stories have given us a reason to make our lives more meaningful by helping the society we live in and caring for the same.

Will is the Way -Quit Smoking

WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY- 31 MAY

My office is in the heart of Delhi, India. There are thousands of people whom i come across while i travel from my residence to my workplace and back. I see so many people smoking and on this day also i saw many people smoking and i guess they were not wary of this day being no tobacco day.

The government is spending a good amount of taxpayers money to educate people about the dangers one can face by consumption of tobacco but people are hardly listening and understanding. Instead I feel that more and more people from younger generation are getting  addicted to tobacco everyday.

One of my friends is a chain smoker. He used to finish 2 packs of cigarettes every day, and when i met him yesterday he finished 2 cigarettes in the time span of 2 hours. He suffers from bronchitis and severe asthma in winter season. But this is not a deterrent  He still smokes.

So, how to help somebody quit smoking. There are things like electric cigarette and nicotine lozenges which claim to deaddict smoking. People who are addicted to tobacco needs a very strong will power to quit smoking or any tobacco products.

In the end, its by the will and will only an addiction can be overcome. Where there is a will there has to be a way.

Wiring Issues of Husband and Wife

Husband and Wife.

They are one species but are species apart.  Its always been a great topic of debate to who is better and who does what and the one topic to which everybody fights to their core without any sympathy to the opposite…. But still loves the opposite.

 As recently heard from a preacher, and loved the idea of using simple electronics word WIRING to make people understand the opposite sex in a relationship.

Man and Woman are certainly wired differently or else there would not be many fights on small and tiny issues. Everybody agrees. But to understand this wiring becomes a task of a lifetime.

 As humans are to err is also a known fact and very true. Even after knowing what the opposite person likes or dislikes we often do the same thing which could become the reason for the next fight.

The question here is why humans err when they are the most intelligent species God has created. 

Guess, Adam and Eve had that fruit of knowledge and wisdom, but could not figure out if the fruit was ripe.. J

RESPECT

Respect 

Today, I was travelling in the metro train and as usual it was crowded. Though i boarded it just after two stations from the start of the train but i could not get a seat. I had my earphones plugged and was listening to music. I saw two guys looking fairly new to Delhi who had a good luck that they got seats but as soon as they saw a lady standing they left their seats and offered it to the lady.

So, I thought wow!! This is great. They are new to Delhi that is the reason they offered the seats. But later i realized  that yes they were indeed new but they were nurtured in such manner by  their elders to offer the seat to the ladies. Truly respectful. 

So, I update my Twitter and Facebook accounts with my status saying "Respect is what we are fighting for and expecting in some or other way all our lives." and got varied reactions. 

We do have commandment to respect the gray hair. Meaning to respect elderly. But do we respect. 
I have so many questions on my head rite now.

As a commandment we need to but is it easy to respect any person without knowing him.
One of the comments said you need to earn respect. But to respect anybody you dont need to know the person. Respecting anybody should come naturally.

Only thing which i think applies is just to Give Respect, you will Get Respect but Don't expect.

CONGRESS WINS IN KARNATAKA

Congress Wins in Karnataka

So Congress wins with a full majority after 14 years. Just like vanavaas of Rama from Ramayana.. The comparison may or may not hold to be true.. It will be decided by time.

The good news is the troublesome BJP government of Karnataka is gone for a toss.. Badly beaten and bruised by the Congress. A score of 121- 40- 40 - 6 is amazingly good..

Mr. Yeddyurappa has definitely done the damage to the BJP. but Congress succeeded in increasing its vote share by just 2.46%. But this 2.46% raise has resulted in increasing its tally by 50%.

Though Bangalore the capital of Karnataka has voted for BJP, which shows the facebook, twitter and socially networked people have a different idea, an idea and thinking different from the masses. 

Anyways, what is expected of the new government is no corruption, more development (off course of the rural areas  and urban areas inclusively), equality of religion (so that no more senas disrupt the churches or any other religious structures and gatherings),  freedom to celebrate any kind of day including Valentines day. (Remember the Pink Chaddi campaign.) So that peace and prosperity prevails in the State and the Country.
