UE BOOM Bluetooth Speakers Review

Unboxing of Ultimate Ears UE Boom Bluetooth Speakers Remember those days when everything had wires attached, including phones, yes those of you born in this century would be surprised to know that when I was growing up, phones had wires attached to them including phones, music system and speakers. Now wires restrict your movement, are cumbersome to attach and are ugly to look at. In came the Bluetooth wireless revolution and suddenly wires were redundant and made life much more flexible for the music lovers. So I was happy to receive Ultimate Ears Boom Bluetooth speakers for review from UE, a [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Auto Expo with Toyota India

The All New Launches by Toyota India Indian auto market has changed so much in last few years that it is tough to imagine that when I was growing up there were only 2- 3 car companies in India. But how the automobile market has changed and with each passing year the best of the global automobiles are available in India, but even better than that in my opinion are cars made for India by the global auto majors like Toyota. I had the opportunity to visit Auto Expo 2016 in Greater NOIDA and see some of the latest [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

British Airways Wins hearts with an emotional campaign

A Bond That is Fuelled by Love    First a loving memory: I have always had a deep bond and touching memories for the British Airways as me and wife jee went to London and further in Europe in a British Airways flight and we had a jolly good time. Needless to say we were given a Royal treatment throughout the flight, with the head of cabin crew herself coming and greeting us during the course of our flight to London from Delhi. Now British Airways have flown to India for more than 90 years and has deep bond with flyers [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

The Lava V5 Phone so that you capture moments as they happen

  Never Miss A Shot with Lava V5 Camera Phone   When I started working I will invariably forget something, car keys one day, laptop some other day, and lunchbox on most days. So I developed a habit of making a mental checklist and ticking off items before stepping out. I don’t remember when the Mobile phone became integral part of the same and soon my mobile phone is the first thing I check before stepping out of home. Even if I am going just till the society gate to buy some milk I never forget the mobile phone. [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

21 Gun Salute Vintage Car Rally 2016

21 Gun Salute Vintage Car Rally in Delhi in February Sometime back I was invited to unveiling of a newly restored vintage Car- 1952 Daimler DB18 Drophead Coupe (previously owned by Raja Saheb Bahadur Khetri ).  Now vintage and car are two words that immediately attract me, and so I immediately accepted the invitation. The function was organized in a Gurgaon Restaurant called 21 Gun Salute, in Sector 29. The  21 Guns Salute Restaurant derives its name from the Royal Ceremony during the British Raj when the royals were given ceremonial salute by firing of canons. Only 5 princely states [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

One Night At Bangalore Airport

Bangalore Airport at Night Not in very distant past, I had to spend a night at Bangalore airport, not that I wanted to but I had to.  I was returning from Singapore, as I was on a sponsored trip by Tiger Air so they have booked me via Bangalore from where they fly to Singapore Changi Airport.

Goa In Reflections

Memories of Goa in Reflections As the mercury dips and the elusive sunlight filters through the canopy of trees, my body wants to go back to the sunny beaches of Goa and watch the reflection of the Sun taking a dip in the Arabian Sea. But here I am in my home, trying to keep warm by guzzling endless cups of ginger tea. So let me go back and remember the sunny Goa from 2 weeks ago where I went for a launch of Zica, the new car from Tata Motors. I have already shared some pictures of the [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

   The Bloggers, The Yogi & The Chicas At Fantastico Zica Pre Launch   This post is about some of the fantastico bloggers, Yogis and Chicas (some were all three )  I met for the Zica launch by Tata Motors in Goa. A trip that lasted less than 30 hours has given enough memories to last a lifetime. You see we bloggers are a funny lot; we follow each other, comment on blogs, tweet and also do our share of gossip about each other.  But we rarely we get to meet each other.  So the Zica launch in Goa was a [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
