Why I don't like Galaxy S5

Samsung Galaxy S5The latest flagship smartphone from Samsung is not so impressive in my view. I am not talking about the features here, which is certainly top-notch. The real problem is the cheap look of the phone though it burns a big hole in one's pocket. What is that dotted design on the back - really ! I expected a better show from a company that is the sole challenger to Apple in terms of mobile market share. The last smartphone I liked from Samsung was Galaxy S2 - it was (is) awesome. Great features with masculine design. After S3 and S4, I thought Samsung would take a leaf from HTC's book and put some thoughts into design.
HTC One
Specifications are not everything - design does matter. I have a friend who owns a white iPhone 5S - man it's good; a pure classic. I am no Apple lover but the design beats it all - it gives a premium feel. The features are no less too - super fast processor, amazing screen clarity and enviable camera. Coming back to Samsung, are they running out of ideas - finger print sensor, water & dust resistance. Come on, now. You know what I'm talking about.
iPhone 5S Gold
Samsung, better luck next time !!

My friend who knows everything

My first dedicated post about a friend of mine. I am excited, wondering what he will say after reading this. To begin with, he is someone loved by all. We love somebody only when we are comfortable being with them. A proper definition of gentleman is someone around whom we are comfortable with. Needless to say, he is a gentleman. I always thought I am a gentleman, but I don't fit in with the just said definition. He is cool unlike the people who claim they are. I have always admired the way he handles pressure - does he feel pressure or he converts pressure into performance! Gotta ask him. He is intelligent as well - I have seen that in his technical abilities at work. I'd say anyone who understands others is intelligent - he is also adept at that. Now, have I spoken about the significance of the title of this topic. There is a beautiful quote by Avvaiyar in Tamil that goes "Katrathu Kai Mann Alavu, Kallathathu Ulagalavu" which means "What you have lear...

My first blog

Image
Yes. At last, I (too) have started a blog!! Better late than never :D. Only the other day a close friend of mine asked me to write articles - I said with a smile  that "I have that in mind" for which he replied "it won't help. I've been havin it in mind for several years". This being the new driving force, here I am with my first blog. Very happy and excited for a first-timer. A pen-a beautiful diary-write-no ways-I'd rather blog; though writing is safer in more than one way. Well, what's the worst that can happen. I write, others see my work, appreciate my language, admire my intelligence and get inspired to start their own blog (really?!!!). What a heavy-headed start to my blog! What matters the most is I have started blogging. You can find me blogging about anything and everything. Even this moment, lot of things running in my mind-should I be interactive, funny, sarcastic or what not. I will put an end to my thoughts (on this) by en...

The Everyday Watch

Image
I started using the crowd-funding platform  Kickstarter since the beginning of 2017 and have come across some great new ideas since then. I was also looking for a formal watch during that time and luckily stumbled across  The Everyday Watch . It's a good looking minimalist watch. Image courtesy: Plain Supplies I have been wearing it almost "every day" since I got it on May 2017 and I love it the more I use it. If I have to be nit-picky, it is that I have to change the date manually in a 30-day month. Having said that, it is only for 5 times in a year and it is not a big deal. The watch came along with 3 interchangeable wrist straps - leather, steel and nylon. If at all you are bored of the beautiful leather strap, you have 2 more options. Please refer to the graphic below for the complete specifications. Image courtesy: Plain Supplies Disclaimer: This is not a paid blog post.
