Nokia Asha 200 - Classy phone in the Class!

It is again testing time for Nokia in the Indian Mobile Phone Market. Nokia has sold 19.4 million smart phones all over the world in last three months, outgrowing the expectations of Analysts. But Nokia suffered more than a billion dollar loss during that period. Though high end market is going fine for Nokia, low end is not. Especially a lucrative market like India is going out of Nokia's hand. To gain momentum, Nokia has launched a new feature-rich phone, named Asha 200.

Nokia Asha 200 is a dual SIM phone with compact QWERTY Keypad.  Asha, which means hope in Indian languages, has been designed with middle class people in mind. Change SIM without turning the phone off, just like you hot swap the memory card.

Web browser supports HTML, XHTML, CSS, and Javascript. A proxy browser with compression technology helps faster data transmission and also reduces data usage.

Battery can stand up to 7 hours of 2G talk time and 30 days in standby mode. Nokia Asha 200 supports high speed USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR for local connectivity. Email, chatting, IM are made easy with Asha. FM recording user interface has been built into Radio Player, easing the recording process. Plenty of audio formats like wav,  wma, aac, amr, and video formats like wmv, mp4, 3gpp are supported.


This colorful phone is available in five colors, namely, Aqua, Green, Graphite, Light Pink, and White. Nokia Asha 200 is environmental friendly, made of 100% recycled materials, phone is is recyclable up to 47%. It costs around $90 or Rs.4300.   With all these great features built into one phone, Nokia Asha 200 is one of the best phone in its class, making it a perfect choice for your next buy.

"Zomato is all about food and lifestyle and where you can find the best of it." - This is what the 'Zomato People' proudly say about their service.

Yes, Zomato.Com is an online food portal & lifestyle guide with a huge restaurant directory. Zomato covers ten major cities across the country; Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Chandigarh. Started in July 2008 with only 500 restaurant listings in Delhi NCR, today, Zomato is the largest food portal in India with more than 17000 restaurant listings !

Thus helping you to decide the best restaurant in town. They have recently added events section which provides complete information about events happening around you.

Let me quickly point out three things I loved about Zomato.Com :

~ Complete information about all restaurants listed. With general info and contact details, get the view of menu card as well as inside view of the restaurant through photos !

 ~ Easy to Search - Explore restaurants around the city by cuisine, location and your mood.

 ~ Access on the go - Have iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, or Nokia ? Dedicated app is available for these devices ! Or just go to m.zomato.com on any phone to access Zomato, it is that simple !

And here are the three things that I would like Zomato.Com to introduce :

 ~ Too much of information on a single web page makes it look messy. So, using drop down menus and reducing information could make page look better.

 ~ Personalisation - Suggestions based on user favorites.

 ~ Available app for google chrome is just a shortcut. A full fledged app is much desired [ like BBC good food ].

Get connected with Zomato on Facebook and Twitter. So, where are you heading to party this weekend ? ;)

Electro Man - Indian super human immune to electricity !

Some People have ability to do more than what a normal human being can do. As normal human beings, we are limited in what we can do, but there are some people, who can do extra-ordinary things, which always put us in wonder. Such people are rightly called as 'Super Humans' and here is a man whose body is immune to high voltage electricity !

While thousands of people around the world die because of electric accidents, Raj Mohan Nair, an Indian super human, can withstand large currents of electricity with no harms caused ! Normally, a fraction of one ampere could kill an average man, but Raj Mohan can conduct 10 ampere of current through his body !

His body is said to be ten times more resistant to electricity than normal human being's body. There is a story behind how he found out this super power inside him. When his mom died, Raj Mohan broke down and decided to die. So he went to hold a high tension wire of an active transformer. On holding the live wire, nothing happened in real! He himself was shocked by this incident and came to know about his resistance power.

He wraps exposed wires around his body, and electricity flows from main plug, through his body, to electric bulbs, iron plates, mixer grinders etc, but he suffer no electric shock. 

This kind of things happen rarely and not everyone can do this. Raj Mohan's body has a high resistance power which, no normal human posses. So please don't try this at home, 'cause your Life is precious :)

No one has taught us how to blame others, but still we are quite well skilled in that ! While blaming people, we forget we are one among them ! Just remember, every drop of water has its contribution in making an ocean. Similarly, every person has his own contribution in making a nation.

We have to act for every obstacle comes in our way. If you are not ready to take responsibility for your task, No one else does ! So when would the problem get solved ? Answer is, when a leader comes out. Where is that leader ? Answer is, in "you" ! Yes, every person has a true leader within him/her. All the thing you need is to bring out that true leader.

Here is a heart touching video about true leader, that still inspire, motivate and fill my heart with courage, everytime I watch it. This was a promotional video created by "Times Of India" for a TV Show called "Lead India" in 2007, which was purely dedicated to bring out the true leader in a common man. I don't know how much successful that show was in selecting a true leader, but this video touched the hearts of millions of Indians. It clearly shows what difference, spirit of a true leader can make on this world.


One man following millions has never become history, but millions following one has always ! Ever wonder what can make you a true leader ? Remember, all you need to become a great leader is "you", only you !

Rich beggar ! old woman with huge money !

Rich Beggar !! It sounds funny, weird and meaningless but it is true ! An old woman named Rambai, living in the streets of khammam, AP, India was found having nearly Rs.80,000 cash in a cloth bag. Interesting thing is, she had nearly 10,000 to 15,000 coins in that bag !!

When she was begging in the streets, a theif snatched her money bag and ran away. She started shouting and police chased the thief. Fed up theif, threw the bag and ran away. After recovering the bag, police counted the money and found Rs.80,000 cash, for their surprise ! Police had a hard time in counting that money with so much of coins. It is said that she has collected this money by begging for years. The language barrier is an obstacle for police men to find her origin now.

Police men have created a Bank Account in her name and have deposited the money.

That old woman look like she would die in few years. But why she is collecting so much of money at this age, I don't know ! More sad thing is, she is still begging despite of owning so much of money. If she continue begging, there is no difference in she having money or the theif taking it away !

Live for you ! A short story by Chetan Bhagat

If you love reading stories, here is a short story by one of my favorite Novelist, Chetan Bhagat.
I like him not because of my name is same as his first name, but there will always be some freshness in his story. I found it accidentally, but it is a good story, so thought of sharing with you all. Hope you like this,here is how the story begins:


Everyone will give you an opinion on how to live your life. No one, no one will give you good advice on how to end it. Worse, they will tell you to continue living, without any respect for individual choice. Yes, hi, I’m Gautam Arora, and after eighteen wonderful years in Delhi, I’ve decided to end my life.

I sat with my best friend Neeraj and his girlfriend Anjali at Costa Coffee, DLF Metropolitan Mall in Saket. The coffee is way overpriced, but considering I had a day to live, I didn’t mind getting ripped off.

“The joke isn’t that funny,” Neeraj said, tearing open the second sachet of brown sugar and mixing it for his girlfriend. If this girl can’t mix sugar in her coffee, I wonder what she will be like after marriage.

“Do I look like I am joking? You are in medical college, and as a friend and someone two years elder to me, I am asking your advice on what is the most painless, graceful way to go. And ideally, it should be available at the friendly neighbourhood chemist,” I said. I ordered a chocolate fudge cake. What are a few extra calories on your last day? >>Read more here>>

New dual-sim mobile phones by Nokia

Finally Nokia has understood that its inability to bring out good dual-sim phones was the reason for their fallen consumer interest in India. Realizing this truth, now they have unveiled two new dual-sim phones with wonderful features. These phones were brought out at an event called "Twins Day Out". It all started with 60 twins parading before showing the phones out.

Last year, Nokia had brought out one dual-sim phone but it was not a success as lot of other companies had attracted consumers with their products. But this time, Nokia has came back strongly. It claims that C2-00 is the first dual-sim phone to have 'easy swap', which allows users to change SIM cards without the need to turn off the phone or remove the battery. The phone also remembers the settings for up to five separate SIM cards. Another phone, X1-01 comes with a big battery life upto 36 hours of continuous music playback. It also features two in-built speakers and supports memory card upto 16 GB. While C2-00 would cost around $65 (Rs.3,000), X1-01 costs around $42 (Rs.2,000).
