@PeugeotZA Powerbank 10000mAh #PeugeotZA #ProductReview

Hi Friends, 

At the start of the lockdown, I participated randomly in a twitter contest for Peugeot South Africa and by the power of the Universe, I won the contest and amazing Peugeot Powerbanks of 10000mAh made their way towards my home for myself and my wife.

The first thing that came to my mind when I opened the box is the amazing design of the power bank along with the LCD display to show how much charge is left in the power bank. The graphics design really is very nice on the Peugeot power bank. 

The power bank also had a small LED light which can be switch ON and OFF using a button on the right side of the device. The light emitted by the LED is strong enough to take care of your travel essentials in case you want to look under the bed or read a book or find something in the drawers. The power bank can be fully charged using the micro-USB cable supplied in the box and takes around 5-6 hours to fully charge. 

There are 2 output points to charge two devices in a single go but the power wattage is 5V 2.1A on both the USB points. The input also is similar to get the power bank charged. I tried the 10000mAh to charge one of the notebooks, I have and using 50% of the power, I could charge the tablet/netbook to about 33% which has about 8000mAh battery. So as always with all kinds of power banks, the throughput is always around 80% in the best capacity. 

This power bank is available at the Peugeot branded showrooms for their cars for about R500 and some other merchandise will also be on display if you want to show off your new products.

Again, I am eternally grateful to Peugeot to show off my new power bank with LED light and LCD display which is not there in any of my other power banks to date. I love these twitter contests and the doorbell when it rings by the courier company to come and collect the packages at the gate these days!

Sawubona!

A Memoir - Year 2015 for www.TheLifesWay.com #Blog #AashishRai (600 Post)

Hi Guys,

It's time to connect the dots and look again at some of the important activites that happened for The Life's Way blog in 2015. There has been many achievements and great things happened to me which I shared from time to time on the social media channels and also on my blog. The best part of the year came in when I became the winner of Samsung's Blogger Challenge Grand Finale for 2014. I am thankful to the brand for the same and I love watching all the movies and TV series on Samsung's 65inch curved UHD TV. 

In the third year of it's existence The Life's Way blog started from 100k pageviews on 01 Jan 2015 and reached 740k pageviews on 31 Dec 2015, that's a massive 640,000 pageviews in a single year. I am thankful to Tweet Jukebox for helping me reach this mark along with more than 219 blogposts in a single year. The followers on all social media channels are increased with time spend on that particular channel. 

I am also thankful to Indiblogger for their Happy Hours contest which allowed me to get several Flipkart vouchers so that I could buy myself a Nikon Speedlight SB-910. The device is really expansive and I did some sponsored blogposts to reach the milestone. I was very happy to spend all my vouchers and sponsored blog posts money on something I always wanted to have. Thanks to Indiblogger and PR's for sponsored posts.

I am so grateful to Aramex Global Shopper for giving me a chance to work for them which helped me buy my favorite  Momentum On-Ear headphones from Sennheiser, Social Beat to work on their several paid campaigns to allow me to buy SB-910 Nikon Flash.

I am also thankful to MonteCasino's PR team for the invites to their special events from time to time giving me a chance to take photographs to post on my Instagram channel. I am thankful to them for sending the Christmas goodies being my first one ever received from any brand. Thanks once again!

I am also thankful to Savanna Cider and GC Communications for all the invites to their events and sending me samples from time to time. I really loved the Beats Solo HD headphones from one of their events and will continue to enjoy music via them forever. 

I am also thankful to 48hoursinJoburg's - Imran Khan, Chat Factory's - Jodene Shaer  TechSmartMag - Robin-Leigh Chetty, MyEyeOnTheWorld's - Namritha Sivasankar, TechGirl's - Sam Wright and Anne Doli, Jarred Doyle from JDC, TechnoBok's Jason Mayo, CapeTownGuy's Ariel and Jared Stokes from Disney Africa for always supporting in me in all my endeavors. 

I am also thankful to Cerebra Communication for Huawei to invite me to all their events and for sending me their devices to review. I am thankful to Epic MSL Group for sending me Samsung devices and inviting me to their launch events. Craving Novity for inviting me to Sony launch events and Bang & Olufsen too. Fleishman Hillard's for Microsoft did invited me to some events for the first half of the year and I am grateful to them too. 

I am extremely grateful to HTC for sponsoring me HTC One M8 and to Idea Engineers for sending me their latest devices from time to time. I am sure I have provided them the reach they wanted on instagram and twitter along with several blog posts from time to time. 

I fell in love with Peugeot Active #208 car which I took for a weekend drive to Pilanesburg and thanks to the brand for sponsoring me to do so. I really loved the same and shared a lot of photographs on my instagram/photoyatra channel. 

The new year I want to achieve Tier 3 for Instagram, Twitter and Blogger profile based on the calculations done at Webfluential. I am thankful to the team for giving me my first job for twitter this year for one of their campaigns. 

I want to cross 3000 posts on Instagram (1630 posts so far), Blog to cross 1000 posts (600 posts) by 31 Dec 2016 to take my pageviews to cross 1 Million mark in 2016. I am also thinking of migrating to Wordpress to change the look and feel of my blog along with enabling several other features. I will continue to participate in all the blogging contests from Blogadda and Indiblogger once again. 

Overall, it was a great year where it was awesome to work with new PR companies and sending/receiving proposals. I was not able to work with all of them but I hope in 2016 I will be able to do so. I hope this new year, I can earn some money to buy myself membership plans for some of the things which needs to be taken care of by the blog to automate stuff especially Tweet Jukebox. I also want to buy a Prime lens Nikon 35mm most probably to take some awesome portrait shots or Samsung's 45mm lens for NX300 Mirrorless camera. Brands do contact me if you see my profile fits the products you have and contact me on email - thelifesway@gmail.com

Looking forward to The Life's Way in 2016 and Have A Great Year to each and every readers of my blog!

Cheers!!!

Photo Walk - Pied Kingfisher in #Pilanesburg National Park #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

Restarting the Photo blog posts for all the travel I have done in the year 2015. Recently I went to Pilanesburg National Park which is around 150kms away from Johannesburg, South Africa. It was also a trip sponsored by Peugeot South Africa as they gave me their #208 Active vehicle to drive and to #feelPeugoet. 

Here are some of the moments captured of the Pied Kingfisher and this post is dedicated to my best friend - Kuldeep Singh who is an avid bird photographer. I clicked these photographs using Nikon D7000 with Sigma 70-300mm lens. 

The Black and white bird is really beautiful to look at and I immediately fell in love with the same. 

He was aiming at the little fishes and insects and used to go dip in the shallow water to kill it's prey.

I hope you will enjoy these photo walks as I will continue to share them with all my readers. I will post 4 of the best snaps from all of these photo walks in one post. 

Cheers!!!
