Photo Walk - Gardens of the Nature 2

Hi Guys,

In continuation of the series, some other flowers that I came across and really makes the world a beautiful place. 
 If you have ever visited any garden then it’s the first thing that we notice. 

The sight of looking at a lot of flowers in full bloom really makes our heart happy and grateful.

I feel hopeful that no matter what’s our present state of life, we too are going to have a great time sooner than later. 


 With every passing day, a little bud inside all of us is growing into a flower bringing the best out of us. 



Cheers!!!

Product Review - Sennheiser HD202 II - Over Ear Headphones


Sennheiser headphones have been an integral part of my life. Another headphones which I wanted to try since long has been added to my family of headphones at home. It’s the Sennheiser HD202 II which I won from Indiblogger Dance India Dance 4 after meet blog post. It was really awesome to win them and it was a great motivation for me to come to India from South Africa in the Christmas holidays.

The moment when I unboxed these legendary headphones to the listening pleasure, it’s been a great pursuit of sound. I do love headphones a lot and Sennheiser never fails to amaze me with it’s never ending range of products.


I find this headphone with clear sound and good in bass. The headphones got a plastic feel to it. The earphones can be dragged up n down to fit your ears properly. It comes with a long 3m cable to comfortably watch TV or laptop from a distance while watching movies etc. The product is light weight and can be used for longer durations of time. It gives a good factor of noise isolation because of over the ear design. I was able to sleep wearing them while sitting on just above the wing seat of the boeing plane all the while. This is really the product to buy if you’re sitting tight on the budget. They have good ear cups with good quality of foam which really gives a great listening pleasure over a long period of time. The head band is also covered with same kind of foam so that it sits properly on your head without falling.

I got complimented by a lot of people on airport/airplane who have either used HD202 II earlier or using it currently. They all got best things to say about the same. This comes in the price range of Rs 2200 only from flipkart or amazon.With frequency range from 18 - 18000 Hz and impedance of 32 Ohms this brings in a clear audio directly into your ears. 

I still am in pursuit of MOMENTUM and I never know when lady luck is gonna smile, but whenever it will, I will be the happiest person on this earth. I saw one lady wearing red one of it at the Addis Ababa airport in Ethiopia and I so much wanted to go and ask her about the same. Let’s see when the day comes when people sees me wearing these one proudly on my ears and around the neck.

Till that time, let me enjoy whatever I have on my head and over the ears...

Cheers!!!

Product Review - BROTHER - MFC-9140CDN

Hi Guys, 

Printer is an old adage as Multi-Function Centres are here to take over them in a big & grand way. No matter what we want to do, having a MFC at home/office is an added advantage. With increased competition in this segment of electronic devices, Brother Inc has also launched a new model MFC-9140CDN with some amazing and never seen before features. Brother India is picking up a lot of customers using its innovative marketing and better products providing value to its users. 


The first thing that comes into mind of a buyer is about the functionality a normal multi-functional printer offers. We all want the same to do scan, fax, Photostat along with the basic functionality of printing. 

Second thing is about the rate of recharges that needs to be done on printer cartridges and that increases in case you have coloured one. 

Thirdly, these days with everything coming into hands using the smartphones so the MFC should have Wi-Fi connectivity and the print command can be fired using the smartphone too. Who got the time to check for the various ports to attach printer to like age old computers but still some people do love their old stuff so finding a middle road to connect with all kinds of machines.


Printer makes your life really easy as it gives you thousands of options to do your art and craft along with office work or making some report or presentation or just going through some article on the go taking printouts. The technology has advanced so much that now I have seen some programs on Discovery Channel / NGC about 3D printing devices creating life like tools and everything using them. 

Brother is one brand that really has an edge over others in this market with it’s right pricing and products. People have suffered a lot in the past and still suffering with the toner/ cartridge costs after buying a cheap printer from other brands trying to capture market. It’s the ink that costs much more than anything else and using cheaper ones wastes a lot of paper via the leakages of the ink/cartridge. 

I got to review this MFC-9140CDN from Brother’s brand and it comes with some amazing features that I fell in love with. The first thing I always wanted to do was to scan all the ages old snaps since my childhood and make a digital copy of the same. It was a very tiring exercise but this device really made it simple. I was able to convert all of my childhood snaps as well as my mom dad’s marriage snaps into the digital versions. 

The next stuff that came to my mind was to give my child a lot of Chhota Bheem and Doramon printouts to colour. The printer made this thing almost easy as she can now do some daily activity with her favourite cartoon characters from Pogo TV. I am really happy that she enjoys doing this now and I am also not worried about taking care of her colouring books after her work is done. 

My wife got some of the stuff she really wanted to try in terms of food recipes and I gave her the same in printouts and we are now having much more fun over the dinner and weekends. 

For me, it was the best as I travel a lot and sometimes misses on some of the books or articles that I always wanted to read. This helps me to gain knowledge and keep in touch with all my stuff. I can now do a lot more with a printer just a smartphone away. 

I will be writing once about what all I could do once I explore the device more and more. But as the device has to be returned back and I had to travel, I could not explore it further so no more posts for this one. Looking forward to review another home printer of Brother India which I can keep for longer period of time. 

Thanks a lot to Brother India for letting me review the device. 

Cheers!!!

A difficult choice - Sepia vs Monochrome vs Color

Hi Guys,

A difficulty presented itself to me when I was going through some of the photographs taken by me in London, UK. These ones are taken at Natural History Museum using Panasonic Lumix FZ5 .

It was the concept of taking the photo using which mode and which one I like the best?

 I am totally confused after seeing all of these snaps? Please help and comment which one looks best as per your view...

Cheers!!!

Beauty of Taj

Hi Guys,

Some things in life do require your full attention to appreciate the beauty of the same, so is the Taj Mahal which requires no introduction. I have been there several times but always my eyes gets to see a new angle of the place.
 The white marbles gives a kind of divine peace that I have found in no other place.
 The symmetry of the place gives my eyes a kind of comfort that everything is perfect.
 My hands & camera are shaking but the building is still straight and standing tall.
A true masterpiece it is...Hats off!!!

Cheers!!!
