iphone vs. android... the race is on!

-

Ever since the advent of iphone, I’ve been waiting to grab my hands on the most successful and phenomenal smartphone on the market. Iphone changed the definition of a cell phone. It was much more than your regular cell phone.  It was a phone, a camera, a videocam, an ipod, a gaming device, a source for online networking, a world of online information, and a lot lot more. In short, the world at your fingertips, literally!  Such is the phenomenon, that when you think of a smartphone the first thing that appears in your mind is, yeah you guessed it right, iphone! :) And the die-hard Apple fans who swear by iphone (till death do us apart! :P) are so fanatical that they have to have the latest iphone every time Apple upgrades it (2G, 3G and now 4G!) No offense to all the iphone users, I myself am a gadget freak and love to use the latest technology out there in the market! And hence, I’d promised myself that whenever I decide to buy a smartphone it has to be an iphone or no phone! So every time I laid my eyes on other smartphones I started comparing it with iphone and would think “Oh! It’s not even comparable to iphone!” which made my decision even stronger that “yes! I have made the right choice.”

So, after all this raving about iphone since quite some time, one would think that I finally did buy an iphone for myself.. right? Well, I almost did! Until I laid my eyes on HTC Droid Incredible and viola! It was love at first sight! :) It did everything an iphone did and much more. The moment I saw that Android phone, I knew that iphone is a passé! For me. And it did outweigh iphone in many aspects like phone lightness, larger screen, super-fast performance and many other technicalities that are missing in iphone. Having said that, one thing that no phone can beat iphone in, is its user-friendliness. You ask how I would know and on what basis I made such comparisons since I haven’t used an iphone, ever! True, though I have been using ipod touch which functions just like an iphone apart from the calling and camera feature. So technically I can say that I’ve used iphone and know the features in and out. Yeah I know, the die-hard iphone admirers might not agree with me on this but you can check the reviews out for yourself. I would have loved to write down a detailed review and comparison for both the phones but since I’m not an expert, I’d leave that for the professionals :) So below is the youtube link of an Droid Incredible vs. iphone review for anyone who cares to see it. It might be useful for those of you who are considering buying a new smartphone and might help them to see beyond the phenomenon called ‘iphone’! As I eventually did.

Mamma, Can I skip school.. like forever? :D

The past few weeks have been the most challenging and toughest weeks as a mother. The most dreaded day in the life of any parent, arrived. The first day at school. Yes! My little baby who is no more a baby, officially, started playschool last month. Okay, now first of all let me clarify this, which I seem to be doing a lot of since I put her in school, before you jump on to any conclusions. It is NOT a school it is just a PLAY school and no they don’t teach her Abc’s or 123’s as everyone assumes. It is more of a platform for her to interact with kids her own age, to explore new and different activities, to develop and instill in her the power of imagination and creativity, to feel the goodness and develop self-confidence and above all to have a good time whilst channelizing her abundant energy to something positive and constructive for a couple of hours a day! If doing this makes me a ruthless mom, then so be it. Whoa! Playing defensive, are we? I have never been a defensive ...

Please don't judge her..

The day I was born, my entire family rejoiced except my mom. But please don’t judge her since she was in pain, weak and fighting to survive just to bring me safely in to this world. When I cried in the middle of the night she woke up and spent endless nights with me, comforting me and rocking me back to sleep. But there were times when she didn’t. Please don’t judge her for that since she was tired and sleep deprived for making sure I slept peacefully. She left me in the hands of my grandmother/nanny when I turned three months, but please don’t judge her for that since she needed to get back to work and struggled to retain her identity at the same time fighting her inner conscience which was ridden with guilt for leaving me. It was harder for her than it was for me, trust me. When I was a toddler, my mom went for a holiday with my dad. Without me. But please don’t judge her for that as she needed to spend some time with him as well, alone. I indeed am the center of her existe...

A plea for help.. !

Dear You. Yes you who are reading this. Don't look so puzzled. I know you are wondering why am I addressing this letter to you of all people. Well, because I know that you will listen to what I have to say and help me. Or will at least give a thought about it. Who am I? And why do I need your help? Well, I am just one of you. Or you can say in everyone of you. It's how you perceive me. I am around since years but I die a premature death every year by each one of you to be born again next year. Every year you promise to take care of me, nurture me, hold on to me and pamper me. Instead, you end up neglecting me, avoiding me, make fun of me and eventually forgetting me and letting me slide beneath your fingers like dry sand. None of you have lived upto your promise till now and I'm utterly dissappointed in you after giving you so many chances to prove yourself. I understand I dont play an important role in your life as much as other factors but what bothers me is the fact t...
