Samsung Galaxy S3 review

The successor of S2 is here the new Samsung Galaxy S3 has all the reasons to get the lime light. The new Samsung s3 smartphone has all the features that an android must have.

Much ahead of its key competitor apple’s new iPhone which is soon to be released in third quarter; Samsung Galaxy S3 has impressed everyone with its user friendly tracker that identifies the eye movement and enables the phone to be on a luminated mode while in use.

The S3 runs on an android operating system with a much bigger AMOLED display screen of 4.8 inches with a resolution of 1280x780 pixel than that of its arch rival apple’s iphone 4s with a display of 3.5 inches.

The new Samsung Galaxy S3 is available in two variants of marble white and pebble blue. The S3 has three versions of 16GB, 32GB & 64 GB. The price for 16GB is 584 Euros approximately. The S3 will hit the Indian market on 31 May with a price of Rs. 42,500 approximately.

Though the look of S3 seems to be plastic the device is super light with a weight of 133gms and 8.6 mm thickness.

The Samsung’s new android boasts of an 8 mega pixel camera in the rear along with flash and zero shutter lag. On the other hand, the front camera possesses face recognition related options.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a quad-core micro-processor with a RAM of 1GB.

Last but not the least, the smartphone has a unique feature called S beam which is useful in transfer of files upto 1GB to another S3 without wi-fi or internet.

The most sought after smartphone Galaxy S3 has already made 9 million mark plus which makes it worthy enough to lay hands on.

Rupee falls to an all time low

Rupee falls tremendously to a record low followed by RBI’s cautious role towards the current market situation market situation. While traders too under play as regards to the current scenario maintained by the market.

Amidst vulnerable situation in the European market and global risk from euro zone  and India’s bad policy implementation and deficit the rupee touched level of 56 as against dollar.

On a yearly average rupee falls greater than 5 percent to dollar making it the worst performing currency in the Asian subcontinent. Since its last high in February rupee has fallen by 13 percent.

However, as per the traders a stop gap arrangement has been made by the RBI by keeping a low profile in selling the dollar.

While central bank has an alternative to sell dollars to the oil importers it is crucial for RBI to intervene in order to save rupee from a steep fall. It is the sixth day when rupee has seen a fall yet again leading RBI to rescue it.

Major damage has been made by the unstoppable demand of dollar by the oil importers and some other companies. Whereas, on the other hand central bank has taken several major steps to stop rupee from a tremendous fall such as raising the rate of deposits for the NRI’s and also asking exporters to convert the currency to rupees. Though, both the measures have failed to make much impact.

 

Are you my best friend?

  

A friend in need is a friend indeed; the cliche saying defining a friend needs to be redefined. So, who is your friend or best friend? Let’s give it a reality check that who is just a friend and who is your best friend. Some feel a friend is a friend what’s the need to type cast a friend. But somewhere down the line as year passes by you will see only one or few who continue to be there for you no matter what happens.

Of course, a relative or your parents are there with unconditional love and support. But I am talking about the stranger may be who sat beside you on the very first day of your school and continues to be there beside you unconditionally. Relatives are by birth with you but a friend is by choice. I might have exaggerated defining a best friend but a choicest friend is only one before whom you can unveil yourself to.

Friendship with school mates, college mates, colleagues shapes up with the course of time. Some relations develop with time and makes it one of the best while some fade away with due course of time.

At times it takes a full life cycle to realise who your best mate is. According to me, a best friend is an amalgamation of all the features present in any other relationship. 

I feel by the end of this writing that name must have come to your mind of the unique and best friend in your life. 

Spring Yearning

Oh my dear,

the spring is here

I stand by the window

Looking for you

As you pass by the meadows.

I hear the wind blowing

Swishing and swashing

the wind chime ringing.

The rainbow colored tulips

Are so refreshing

And when I think of

you and me

Walking hand in hand

Among the tulips

It gives immense pleasure

And joy of the yester year

We have been together.

Oh my dear,

come to me

I stand here waiting for you

As you pass by the meadows. 

A DERELICT VILLA

Villa it was!

But now “a derelict one”.

The cobwebs have burnt the fireplace

where once we all had our place to rest.

The taste of a plum-cake,

The stuffiness of the kitchen place.

Vessels all broken and abandoned

To left for the rats to rest on.

Here, is where the soul pants

for the long- long spans of

summers, autumns and springs we had.

The mourning of the running old waterfall

Is all we can hear now; where the chatter- batter

Of the kids used to put the house on alert.

Villa it was, villa it was

What a villa it was!

It seems like a crematorium of

Memories to cherish upon,

The hay days of our life are gone.

Reminiscent of innocence,

Now- a- haunted house,

To taunt our lovely past.

Then came the fiery night,

bombed with an explosion,

robbed off the glory of the villa.

Villa it is, villa it is now,

“a derelict villa”!

Beauty tips for daily care

1. Dry skin is common during a rough weather. If you have dry skin apply fresh aloe vera gel. This will leave your skin soft and supple and relieve the skin from dryness.


2. Always air dry your hair first and then blow dry. Blow drying the wet hair will cause damage so avoid doing so.


3. Avoid using conditioner on your scalp because this will give your scalp a flat look.


4.To have a no smudge look, use a nude eye pencil as close as possible to your lash line and then cover it with an eye liner. But remember to keep your eyes as simple and natural as possible.


5. If your hair are taking too long to grow include high protein food to your diet like eggs, soy products, meat, pulses, seeds and dairy products.

6. To give a natural look to your blush use liquid gel based blush instead of powder blush. The cream based blush gives a warm look instead of that artificial blush.


7. Here is a way out if you want well groomed pair of  eye brows. Just pluck those extras under the ridge and keep them bushy towards the starting of the brows.


8. Make it a practise to use sunscreen and now all the more as summers are approaching.


9.  Roll back to those rollers after gently drying with towel. The Velcro rollers will make the hair less frizzy and help you get those curls and add volume to your stresses.


10. If you are using hair color make sure to give variant shades instead of using the same shade for roots and tips. Using variants will give a natural look to the hair color.

'Kolaveri di' in a cute way

It has been two weeks now that I am down with Kolaveri fever & don't want to get over it. Ever since I saw it trending on almost all the social networks I couldn't get enough of it. 


The lyrics and the music got me in on a relaxing weekend two weeks ago and to add to it I saw this cute version of  Kolaveri di by Neevan Nigam, Sonu Nigam's son.

Oh! Kolaveri can't get better than this for sure. 


The best part in Dhanush's & Neevan's Kolaveri - you don't have to find any meaning all you need to do is to relax and enjoy every bit irrespective of the language.
