Chetan Bhagat books online

Call me a nationalist or whatever you will but I take pride when people around me respect anything Made in India, be it a phone, fridge, movie or even a book for that matter. My love for Chetan Bhagat books probably stems from this belief alone. Usually, whenever a book comes out, especially that of an India author I make a point to read it. Same happened Five Point Someone came out. It was undoubtedly a  youthful book. 

I was pretty confident that it's going to go mainstream within a flash. But what I hadn't expected was the success his subsequent books saw. All of them were good in different ways but seriously Chetan Bhagat managed 6 consecutive bestsellers! So much so that most online stores now make sure to stock his books whether or not they have a copy of Discovery of India. Being an ardent admirer I have finally decided to finally buy Chetan Bhagat books online. Not one, not three but all five. There may some free copies strewn around the internet but I believe in the original, on principal. ;)

Once again, if you missed the link, here is the link to buy Chetan Bhagat books online.

Nokia Asha 300 review

Nokia Asha 300 is a step up from Nokia Asha 200 and 201. With a 1 Ghz processor, Nokia Asha 300 makes for a speedy browsing and the 2.4" screen is a welcome transition for those who are new to the world of smartphones. 

Nokia Asha 300 mobile comes with an adapter, microSD card support, headset and an instruction manual.  

Since Nokia Asha mobile is aimed for the more lower segment, many features have been included with just enough missing to prevent it from qualifying as an expensive phone. It has a 5 MP camera which takes 1944 x 2592 pixels photos but does not have a flash LED. So, clicking pictures in the dark could be a problem. The screen is a touchscreen but resistive in place of capacitive. Though this one's wouldn't bother you so much as the resistive is responsive enough.  

The keyboard is a standard numeric keypad, so probably okay for those who have been using those for long.  

One spec that caught attention is the fact that Nokia Asha 300 mobile houses a 1 Ghz processor, which is quite a deal for around Rs. 6000. One would imagine the company compensated for the low cost elsewhere but it's difficult to pinpoint. The phone does not sacrifice quality anywhere.

Nokia Lumia 800 and 710

It's been no secret that Nokia has been struggling off late to revive itself and has quite a bit at stake with its latest release, the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 phones running Windows 7.5.

Before I jump full on into the review, let me remind you of Nokia Lumia 800's specs:

• It's running Windows 7.5 a.k.a Mango
• Dimensions are: 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm 
• Weight is 142 g, which is enough to know its there but not too much to become a burden to carry around
• Screen is 3.7'' AMOLED ClearBlack Touch Screen with a resolution for 480x800
• Battery gives a sturdy talk time of 13 hours with 265 hours of standby through 1450 mAh power (Windows 7 uses battery power very judiciously. You'll face no problem getting through a full day).
• The phones is running on a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm processor, augmented by 512 MB RAM, 16 GB of external storage (which is not expandable)
• Has an 8MP camera with dual LED flash capable of shooting 720p videos at 30 fps

Design

Nokia's build quality is absolutely outstanding. Some would go out on a limb to call it legendary even. Adhering to it's standards, the Nokia Lumia 800 mobile has been bestowed with a curved glass display.

Another feature which I find missing in some high-end phones today is the presence of a physical camera button, since tapping a touchscreen for a photo almost always tends to blur the photo.

The look and feel of the device is quite satisfying for its price.

However there are some design quirks on Nokia Lumia 800 mobile. The top edge of the phone features a 3.5 mm audio jack, a USB charging port and the external card port. While it's good that the ports is featured externally, the flaps used to cover these ports look like they'll soon succumb to repeated usage.

OS

Windows 7.5 has a lot of cool features. The tiled UI lets your access your favourite apps quickly and also allows multi-tasking. The OS' most useful feature is tomb-stoning, which essentially takes you back to the exact spot in an app etc, that you were in before closing the screen.

Camera

The camera is HD recording enabled and gives resolution of up to 2448 x 3264 pixels

Overall, it's more than a fair deal for its price. An intuitive OS combined with excellent build, Nokia Lumia 800 is definitely here  to stay.

It's the summertime!

Flipping through the oldest memory of refrigerators, one can think of only one name, Godrej. One of the oldest home appliances brands in India, selling world-class refrigerators in India.  

Godrej fridges have been serving Indian homes since last two decades and all users would solemnly vouch for the quality. Godrej fridge models have evolved constantly over the time incorporating better technology every time. Starting with direct cooling single doors models, Godrej refrigerators now come in double and triple door frost-free models.  

To compete with the international players, the company is now bejeweling its models with interesting addons like, mp3 player and FM radio too. In addition to these, Godrej refrigerators in India are also most energy efficient and food-friendly. They are known to keep your electricity bills low and fruits and vegetable fresh after days. 

If you wish to buy one for your home, you can buy Godrej refrigerator in India at HomeShop18. 

Ice Ice Baby!

Summers are fast approaching and going outside is not fun anymore. It almost feels like someone turned up the sun flame from Sim to High. This is also the time when refrigerator prices and demand are at their highest. Appliances manufacturers and retailers announce lucrative refrigerator deals. 

Those who stay in cooler areas get away with the heat. Rest shell out the money to fight four months of sweat, thirst and more sweat. 

Even though refrigerators are almost a necessity in summer months, they do cost enough to make you think twice. So, how do you decide when to buy refrigerators? 

The factors which you should be looking at as filters for your decision are: 

1. How warm is the place you stay at 

If you stay closer to a hilly area, you may or may not need refrigerator at all. Even if you feel the need to buy one, you could probably take the liberty of exploring the lower end of fridge prices. 

2. Size of your family 

Since, refrigerators come in different capacities, number of people sharing the appliance could be detrimental. A 300 L fridge could be an absolute waste of money for two people. It would sit empty in the corner, consuming electricity and space. 

3. Are interiors important? 

If your need for fridge is driven more by your interiors than the weather, than probably you should be looking at high end fridge models usually starting 210 L onwards. These come in all colors and sizes. You need to decide which one looks the prettiest. 

As the home appliances drift within a broad price range, you get plenty of choices in terms of colour, storage and style. Once you have made up you mind, buy refrigerator that best suits your needs. 

Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus

Samsung is on an innovation spree off late. The way it's churning out one smartphones after another, its fan base has grown and that too rightfully so. 

Much of its growing popularity is reflecting blindingly in the latest creation, Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus 7500 - latest midrange smartphone from Samsung mobiles.  

What's interesting about this one is that it has almost same configuration as most of the high-end phones (save few dispensable features).  

This phone is sure to be a welcome change for those who wish to switch from basic to a smartphone. Running on Android Gingerbread 2.3, Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus features a decent processor  of 1 GHz with a 512 MB RAM. Data-wise, it has internal storage of 3 GB, extendable up to 32 GB. Camera gives a 2592x1944 pixels clarity with 5 MP primary camera. In fact, the only shortfall for this price happens to be the lack of a secondary camera. 

So, if you are unable to contain your excitement for Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus to reach retail outlets, buy mobile online in India at HomeShop18.com. 

All in all, it’s a question of what all you would love to flaunt on your phone. If you make more calls than takes high-res pictures or video, then Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus could be exactly what you've been looking for.
