HP Connected made me rethink about my love for Bollywood Music

Hi Guys,

HP Connected Music was my second Indiblogger meet and with the first one gone extremely well for you, you tend to weave a great lot of expectations out of it. With closeness of location for me I started for the meet. Even before I could, start received a tweet from Ramit Narang that I have won in their contest. Details were unknown to me though and then I reached the Hilton Garden Inn, a property that was launched just 3 months back in Gurgaon. It was a nice entrance and I could easily make out the way as rush seems to be towards a side of entrance only. 

This time the tees were not given at the time of registration but towards the end of the event. We sat down at the circular tables & as I called my friends from last event Aditya Pranav and Murtaza Ali. Very soon the event started with announcing the names of those people who have written a blog about the event. I was one of the few and received HP Headphones for the same priced at Rs. 799/- The quality of the headsets seems to be good as I tried the ones that were kept on their jukeboxes kept at the entrance of the event.

The presentation soon started and people were made aware about the app and what it could do. Followed by this there was a break for High Tea. The cookies and snacks served were great and everyone loved the same. 

Sonu Nigam

Thereafter the event concluded with 2 people wining Laptops on the basis of english songs. I never knew any so i couldn't win the same. That's why the blog post name is so? Overall it was an average meet with good food. 

@araijain choice of songs

Coming back to my love for music - It's very much limited to Hindi music which doesn't mean that I don't listen to other genres but I love our own hindi music. I have written about my favourite hindi songs in the pre-event blog. It will remains same after the event also. 

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

UEFA organized a great promotional campaign across UK to fetch a lot of viewers to travel all the way to Poland and Ukraine to see the matches of Euro 2012 live in stadiums. People are crazy about soccer in Europe and they do travel far far places to see the matches. Meanwhile, I participated in one of their contests and won these amazing goodies. This event happened near London Eye.

My Dream Business – The Microsoft Office 365 Way

Let's say how many times do you think to purchase a product and check prices for the same in various stores and online? There has been many internet sites comparing prices and let's you choose the cheapest but considering many fake online sites are there to dupe people rather helping them. 
 
My idea is to open a Procurement Consultancy across London, Sydney, Delhi  NCR, California, Singapore with the help of my friends. We will be targeting people who will tell us the product they want to purchase and what is the minimum price they are getting it for? The next part of the work will be done by us to check various sources, codes, deals, agencies to get the least price we can buy the product at? We can charge the commission based on the savings we are able to do for the customer or can be a flat charge for every request for consultancy related to what product they should buy? Our services will target people with less internet knowledge skills and time to search for the schemes before buying the goods. If we are able to take orders from people who are not fully aware of the internet and coupons we will be able to make good amount of money and good word of mouth will fetch us more customers mainly during Sale seasons like boxing day, thanksgiving day or Christmas, Diwali sales etc.  

With teams sitting across all the Earth and in different timezones we need something which keeps us collaborated and on the same page so as to provide the best of the services to our customers. We need to have a sharepoint site where we can put all our requests for all of us to see and they should be sorted out on the basis of geographies so as to save a lot of efforts and focus can be done on the same. Also based on all the geographies various deal giving websites and coupon codes with expiry dates needs to be maintained by all of us. Skydrive will provide us with the necessary space requirements for the files to be saved on cloud. Lync will help us discuss before we finally present the deal before the customer so as to cover all the necessary schemes and validations in case one has missed some. Overall it will be a team effort and we could bring synergy in our business using Office 365 features. 

Microsoft Office 365 will be the key resource in our business as we will be able to send messages across each other, update excels, coupon codes, schemes offline as well as online and it will bring all of offline things in sync as soon as we go online. It will work across different platforms without us investing in hardware as we could use our regular laptops, lumia phones or MAC notebooks. May be in future we will be able to use in our iPADs  or Nexus tabs. http://www.office365.in

It will be a great exposure to different cultures and people and helping them purchase their required goods at cheap prices will be awesomely great as even £10 saved will bring smiles and a McDonalds burger or Dominos Pizza for our customers, may be a pint of beer is what they will buy in London to celebrate.CHEERS!!!

Product Review - Skullcandy LOWRIDER Stereo Headphones

Hi Guys,

Today I received Skullcandy Lowrider headphones from Parle Agro - @IAMAPPYFIZZ twitter contest win. Thanks a lot to Parle Agro for sending the same.

Let's see if they are really good!

The whole set has this plasticy feel that it will break any second you put pressure on, which led me to think if they are originals or fake? Also there was some glue material like bubblegum fixed as seen on the second image which also made me think that these are fake stereo headsets.

Let's put all these feelings aside, the audio quality of the sets is good but they doesn't fit tight on the ears and there seems to be some kind of angle problem with these one on my ears. I tried to use them via multiple settings but couldn't find the right way. Let's hope that till the time they work I can try try n try again.

If you are spending some serious money on buying these ones, better spend some extra and purchase Sennheiser ones! You will never regret your decision!

Thanks a lot!
