Good Morning World @RhinoandLionSA #SouthAfrica #Wildlife #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

All the photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Nikon D7000 at Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve in Johannesburg, South Africa. Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve is a private park where you can buy the tickets and enter with your own car and roam around in the restricted jungle area where wildlife is roaming free whereas you will be inside the car. There are different enclosures for different kinds of carnivorous animals so that they don't kill the other animals and are fed by the authorities every alternate day in the case of Lions, Cheetah, Leopards, and Wild Dogs. It's so easy to find the animals during lunchtime and if you are on the day of wildlife serving day you are definitely going for a feast for your eyes. If your windows are open then it's dangerous as wild animals are really wild but these photos are from the animal creche where small cubs are kept and earlier you could take photos with them but now it's no longer the case.

I was really working on getting some of the online training and taking my technology quotient in level with the latest in the world of the software industry. It was really a great experience of learning new skills or at least adapt to the key terminologies used in the new world.

Walking in the jungle is like learning with each step on the way

I am trying to find my own creative space after all this is over and we go back to the work environment. I want to see the change in myself in all the ways possible with an open mind to learn, experiment, and adapt to the latest technologies and an eagerness to work on them too.

With each step in the jungle, I will gain confidence

Indeed with each step taken in the corporate jungle, my confidence will be challenged and as I cross those boundaries, I will learn and earn more respect and money. Let's start the journey!

Sawubona!

#TheLifesWayReviews @Mophie Power Capsule #myMophie #ProductReview

Hi Friends,

Mophie is a brand I was not aware of and then I watched some of the videos from UrAvgConsumer and other big YouTubers and saw them getting a lot of stuff from Mophie and reviewing the same from time to time. I didn't believe my luck that I too had received this Mophie Power Capsule long ago in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

Mophie is a brand from the house of ZAGG INC. in the United States of America and they are the one who also owns brands like iFrogz, Gear4, Invisible Shield and produces all kinds of accessories to enhance and protect your smartphone and also makes your audio experience unique. Mophie though specializes in power banks, wireless chargers, and also power cases for certain smartphones.  

Coming back to the product insight and in my hands is this Power Capsule and the built quality is awesome. The touch and feel of the product are awesome with rubber kind of casing to charge your smartwatches, bands, and wireless earbuds/headphones on the go. The only problem I thought at the start was that if this case is left in the sun, soon it will lose its rubbery substance and it will become sticky. But now I have been using this device on and off from the past 1.5 years but nothing has changed so my initial supposition is wrong. 

The Mophie Power Capsule I received has a 1400mAh rechargeable battery using the Micro USB cable and as you open the casing using the zip on the side of this capsule, you will find a USB charge port inside to take care of all the devices you want to provide power to. The extra battery provided by the power capsule will help you to listen to music for 60 hours and 55 days for your fitness tracker bands as mentioned on the packaging. 

Mophie Power Capsule comes with high-output charging of 1.0 Amp and also provides pass-through charging which means it can charge another device while it also charges self when connected to the power source. The only thing is that your device shall of the size which can fit inside the compact size of this capsule along with a small cable to connect. 

I tried my Huawei FreeLace earphones on my trip to India and it was able to charge them using the small cable that comes with the Bluetooth earphones. Lately, I used the same to charge the new Huawei FreeBuds3 but could not fit them with the long cable that comes with the earphones so if I switch to a small cable it will fit perfectly well inside the capsule. That will make them a perfect couple and will last me for about a week easily. These MiBand2 can be charged for several months without any problems whatsoever using this power capsule on a single charge. 

So that's it about this Mophie Power Capsule, maybe there must be some of the newer versions of these capsules as the packagings show that it was made in 2016 or so. But I am happy that I also got them in my technology stable at home and I cherish looking at this power capsule. Thanks to Mophie for making this amazing device and sending it to me in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

Sawubona!!!

Nelson Mandela #theCaptureSite #Howick #SouthAfrica #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

This is my 2053rd post and to mark this occasion and celebration I would love to share the story about the person who was captured from this place on 5th August 1962 and spent the rest of his 27 years in various jails including one at Robben Island near Capetown, South Africa. I will surely take you to Robben Island too in my next posts. 

South African government has developed the place where he was traveling that day just 5km outside of Howick and identified himself as the Chauffer of the car but the Apartheid police identified and arrested him on the spot. He was just coming back after paying a visit to the ANC President Chief Albert Luthuli’s Groutville home. Marco Cianfanelli and Jeremy Rose (Mashabane Rose Architects) originally collaborated in 2007 with the view to making an interactive sculpture project that incorporated the image of Nelson Mandela. Culture Mechanics, a specialist museum, exhibition, design, and art consultancy curated the project and commissioned the installation of this piece on the site.

The place is named Nelson Mandela Capture Site with a ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ through the landscaped garden to view the iconic sculpture entitled Release, featuring 50 steel columns which dramatically come into focus as Mandela’s face from a particular vantage point. It consists of 50 steel columns between 6 and 9.5 meters high along a thirty-meter length, which can be seen, from the road looking like a forest of steel poles. The laser-cut steel columns gradually come together and focus at a particular point 30 meters from the sculpture creating the illusion of a flat two-dimensional image magically recreating Madiba’s portrait, metaphorically announcing his return to the site of his disappearance from world view. The place can easily be reached by taking a diversion from the main highway and just 7-8kms from the main road. There is plenty of parking space and entry ticket is R100 for adults and R60 for teenagers and kids go free under the age of 12 years. It's a must-visit museum and you shall all make it to the struggle of freedom from the man himself and other artifacts kept at the visitors center. Howick if you remember is also famous for the Howick Falls which you can also read in my earlier posts. 

Sawubona!

#TheLifesWayReviews #SelfieStick with LED Beauty Light #CF33 @HuaweiZA #ProductReview

Hi Friends, 

I won this selfie stick with light at one of the events of Huawei when they launched one of their value smartphones and as soon as I came to know about this thing I wanted the same. To my good luck that I got the same at the end of the day too when the activation was getting over. 

Some of the features of this amazing selfie stick are

1. It is a new generation selfie stick which is not only portable but comes with Type C USB charging point and the design and placement of the socket are underneath the upper portion of the stick.

2. This Huawei Selfie stick comes with a rechargeable battery that powers the 6 vertical LED beads lights installed on the edge above which you will install your camera. Moreover, the light has 3 power settings and can be dimmed and lit up using the light button at the lower edge of the stick. 

3. The various other uses of this selfie stick with light were during load shedding when I took it to Garden Route, where the light was going every day in Plettenberg Bay, and many nights we had to finish our dinner using the same light. Also, it comes conveniently if you are searching for some stuff in the not so easy to reach places under the bed or inside the car.

4. The natural fill light really helps the Huawei P20 Pro that my wife is using and enhances the night mode selfie photos in dark areas or at a concert or so.

5. The product weight is around 120 grams so it's really easy to carry in your pockets or purse. The extended length is around 610mm and folded length is 185mm which can help shoot closeups and panoramic shots easily. The aluminum-alloy body is lightweight and looks premium.

6. Wireless Bluetooth connects to the Huawei smartphones smoothly and has fast response time and can be used for more than 30000 times in a single charge without using LED lights.

7. I am using the same as my table light when I am reading on my Amazon Kindle Keyboard that doesn't have built-in screen light and is really a problem to read in the dark. But using this selfie stick it's really easy for me to turn pages into chapters before I sleep.

If you ever find this at any of the Huawei stores, you shall definitely grab one for yourself or any of your female friends as they will definitely love them as a gift.

Namaste!!!

The Chiffonnier with Style and Elegance #JohannesburgCBD #SouthAfrica

Hi Friends,

South Africa is definitely a Rainbow Nation - not only in terms of its diverse cultural and rich heritage, not only in terms of its different nationalities of people living here but also in terms of the way their body moves on the beats and how they dress.

You might be rich or poor - the quality of cloth might be good or bad but the style quotient and the statement it makes it huge and impactful. The lady is a ragpicker in Johannesburg CBD and on one of my Instagram meets I asked her permission to take her photos and offered her some money. She was very happy to receive the money but in all this, I forgot to even ask her name after the greetings. Look at her confidence in the first picture just like a professional model will hold their gaze. 

I was not aware of his fact till now when I thought of posting her picture on the forum so this is one of the biggest mistakes we do in our lives that we are occupied in our skills so much that we forget to give the other person proper respect and take them for granted. Lesson Learnt!

The photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Canon 100D and prime Lens or nifty-fifty 50mm lens in Johannesburg Central Business District, South Africa.

Sawubona!!!
