More than a Keyboard

After seeing this, I was drawn to natural media computing products, to peripherals cut from something rather than molded into it. Today I found these unusual keyboards of wood, metal and stone.

Do you want to spoof up your office? Do you want to bring a touch of luxury to your computer? This magnificent SwedX wooden USB Keyboard and optical Mouse Set has class written all over it! It’s an otherwise bog-standard USB peripheral, as is the accompanying optical mouse.

Then there is this FULLMETAL KB+TB steel keyboard, offering industrial strength, beauty and durability–and, as Everything USB points out, a Missile-Command style trackball!

Now this is something which you actually can’t use. But still isn’t this cool? It’s really a vivid art and innovation.

Beguiled!

For the last few weeks I had been waiting for the approach of 29th. Almost the whole world knew, “29th ko Sanjoli ka Madhur bhai India aa raha hai!” Madhur bhai was in Melbourne for the last one year for studies. I was just so eager and excited to meet him. We had planned so many things for his arrival. But there bhai had been blueprinting something really unforseen for all of us. He had told all of us that he’ll be arriving at 29th noon. We were all in this illusion. But he took anawares. Today as I returned home from school, I saw my brother standing right in front of me. For a few mintues it was hard for me to believe. Moreover, he has shed 10 kgs, so he looked quite different. I just couldn’t react. But the exultant joy we experienced at that very moment was superlative.

Now I don’t think I am going to study anything today. I just came after spending a few hours with him, and now I am thinking of going downstairs again. Exams toh hote rehte hain. But my brother has returned after one whole year. Who cares about exams at this juncture.

And you see this picture. Well, this is a tower that had been constructed right in front of my house yesterday. It was hardly constructed in 4-5 hours. It has the best view from my room. So while I was studying, I saw it being built up ‘pole-by-pole’. It was fascinating to see a couple of men hanging over it to construct it. Probably, it has been erected fot Airtel network (that’s what I’ve heard.) Dad uses Airtel. We didn’t really face any problem in the network, just for bad internet connectivity. Now we hope, it’ll improve.

Synopsis 2

Hello. I am back with the updates of the 25th November episode of Roadies. The gang it still in the south, ie. in Kerala. So from yesterday onwards they could bank some money in their account. They were shown a trailor of thr martial art of Kerala, known as Kalari. those giant people. Only 5 Roadies (ie. 3 boys and 2 girls) could to partake in that ask. Good for them, money without work. To select the 5 participants, they were made to exercise, and those ‘giant men’ selected the fittest of them. The selected ones were Vishal, Anthony, Sahil, Sonam & Swati. Now about the task, they had to defend themselves from the attacks of those fighters with the help of a heavy shield. And the winning amount was decided on the basis of how long you’re able to defend. One thousand for 1 second. Cool! They managed to pull down 31,000 bucks in one accord. Not bad though, but it wasn’t possible to defend yourself for more than 3 seconds.

Then they headed towards Kochi. Well now for some intriguing piece of note. I doubt whether Anthony is a male. It was just so amusing to see Vishal trying to seduce Anthony.

The immunity task was so grubby. Again they were divided into 2 teams. Ever heard about the bull race in mud? Its like led by a pair of bulls, followed by some floggers and then the contestants fully immersed in mud. Runnvijay remarked that the mud slush would certainly be having good pieces of bull’s shit. Disgusting! But the raodies were determined enough to make a stab at it. They were to hold some sort of a stick or a board tied behind the bulls which dragged them all through their way in the mud. If you let that holder go off, you lose.

One of the teams were immnued from the elimination. The main targets this time were Bani & Shaleen. I can sense some unhealthy politics going on. Shaleen was voted out. There seems a good conspiracy between Chandigarh & Delhi. Aah yes, there was another twist in the tail, rather just some silly add-ons. The Badman, Gulshan Grover has send a spy among the contestants. Now they have to suspect their fellow contestants and drive out that spy. i{content: normal !important}i{content: normal !important}

A Day in the Life of India

What’s in your shopping bag huh? Today in Times Of India I read this article regarding the purchasing power of Indians. It is an evaluation based on the survey as to how much and what kind of products Indians consume. I would rather call it an evaluation about how much the Indian now have to waste on garbage like the cigarettes, beer, soft drinks etc. I won’t say all products, because its wise to purchase most of them. Take a look.

Luxury Affair

Indians are well-known connoisseurs of the finer things in life. Be it super premium Swiss watches or high-end jewellery, major international brands have cashed in on the Indian penchant for luxury items. Taking a cue form the success of such products in India, many companies have been launching various hardware products having a luxurious mark on them.

You might have heard or seen celebs holding a cellphone having a silver, plantinum or gold lining and embedded with diamonds. The world’s largest mobile manufacturer, Nokia has been introducing its super premium handsets from time to time under then brand name VERTU. The Signature and Ascent handsets are booming in the Indian market. Lately they launched the diamond series of Signature in India. And the response has been convincing. People are simply craving to own one.

On one hand where Vertu stands distinctively from all handsets, Pentax has dropped its awful LX Gold camera into the market. I must say, there is a secret society of brilliant and evil men, a silent thread of darkness haunting the halls of product development and marketing. This cam is a ghastly discord of polished gold and fake brown alligator skin. This noisome wound was self-inflicted for Pentax’s 60th anniversary, though it does present genuine innovation, claiming to be the world’s first water-proof & dust-resistant digital SLR camera. The Cabal, thankfully, forgot to encrust it with diamonds or offer some mephitic cologne to go with it. Bad job Pentax!
