Awesome feature in my new fone

After breaking my ‘recently new’ N-Series phone last morning, I resorted to buy a simple fone, and got myself a Samsung E2120 today. This phone a cool little feature called Fake Call, basically all it does is that it generates a fake call for you at the touch of a button, so if you find someone annoying you, like a little meeting with your boss, or some boring neighbor, and you want to get out of that situation, you can just press a key and keep your phone in the pocket. In the next 5 secs you will get a fake call generated for an “unknown” number. You can disconnect the call (???) or attend the call and start talking, but you wont get any response from the other side and make use of the opportunity to get out of that situation.

This was really cool, I have added a shortcut to this feature, so I might use it next time.. :)

Look at this video for a demo

Sunky Monkey Merchandise

My brother has got hold of a Sunky Monkey key-chain recently ( Its not actually meant to be a Sunky Monkey one, but he flaunts it as one… :) )

This one is really cool, and it actually has close resemblances to  the real sunky monkey… he he :)

Bittu at BITS

Last month I was giving my mid semester exams at BITS Exam Center in Chennai, This was in a school near Thiruvanmyuir

and when I was walking down from the exam hall after scribbling whatever my mind thought was relevant to the QP (just like every other exam that I give , I was unprepared for this one as well),

I found these chits on the floor.. Couldn’t resist to take some snaps.. Reminds me of college days…

I don’t know how others feel about it.. but this looked very funny to me.. I mean these guys are a bunch of professionals with lots of experience, and they use chits :0 ….

I guess I should start preparing for my finally exams (MicroXerox)..

New Camera

Gifted myself with a new camera, a couple of weeks ago, so was busy researching on it. This is a Nikon 3000, it came with a 18-55mm Kit lens, Kit bag, 4 Gb mem card, etc.. .

The Camera as such is excellent with a wide range of enhancements, the zoom is the only thing that hurts. I certainly do know the metrics behind zoom lenses in SLR cameras, but having got used to a superzoom (FujiFilm S5700) for more than a year, I find this very hard to get used to. But if you go to a store and check the  price of those super zoom lenses for SLR’s you wont think about them.

Here are some of the snaps taken with the new camera
