Technology That Empowers Me

Technology is the best thing that ever happened to mankind, this was the first thing that came to my mind when I was holding this awesome Canon 20x wide angle optical image power shot camera owned by a friend in my hands. I was so mesmerized with its quality and clarity that I thought why not write a blog on this, so here I am writing about it. Nowadays, technology is a great way to escape from reality and a way to be role models of some sort. It brings you power and encouragements in the society of technology that make things work great and are possible for many things you may think it would be impossible to achieve.

Nothing empowers me more than my laptop, digital cameras, i pod, 3D HD TV's, external hard drives and Sony play station player.

My Laptop - This is the heart of my empowerment. Without it, I would never have been able to start my own business. It is the most important item in the bunch that enables me to communicate with friends, create and post new blogs (like this one), communicate via email, Skype, phone, text and chat with clients. Everything I need to do can be done in the comfort of my home office. That’s the key.

Digital camera - The digital camera provides you every thing in conditions of photograph quality, high ISO with low noise, fantastic contact lenses and trendy. The best thing about it is that is helps us preserve memories that we once cherished with our loved one's, friends and family and also relive them again.

i pod - No face time and other fancy new stuff but it still rocks! This is the best music library that one can have and flaunt. This is the one way ticket to paradise.

3D HD TV's - These are simply amazing one can watch 3D movies now from their homes itself and that to without having to turn off the lights. The upside is it can be used as a secondary screen for a laptop/ PC too.

External hard drives - What would life be without a place to store all the data like Movies, Music, Series, Pictures, Work, Documents, Install Files and so much more. Without the External hard drives we would still be using DVD's.

Sony play station player - Its simply a gift for all the gamers who love video games and want more and more new action each day.

Yes, Technology does empower me so does the internet, without it I would not know as much as I do.

Just Simply Coffee

This post is for all the Coffee Lovers... We love our coffee! Don't we...?? That goes without saying, it tastes great, perks us up and makes everyone else bearable on a Monday morning...But its real benefits make us love it even more.... I have some interesting facts about coffee explaining why we should just simply continue drinking and loving our coffee...
Here they are :

a. It helps reduce headaches... As per research studies it has been proven that the caffeine content in coffee provides relief from headaches...

b. It prevents liver diseases... It seems like the more coffee people drink, the lower their incidence of cirrhosis and other liver diseases.

c. Coffee Reduces the risk of Diabetes, mainly more in Women. Coffee has some antioxidants (chlorogenic acid and quinides, specifically) which play a role in boosting the cells sensitivity to insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar..

d. It boosts your brain power... As per some studies it shows that coffee helps reduce risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Parkinson’s disease. Coffee with the presence of antioxidants wards off brain cell damage and helps the neurotransmitters involved in cognitive function to work better.

e. It protects the heart... Moderate coffee drinkers have lower rates of stroke than non-coffee drinkers, an effect linked to coffee’s antioxidants. Coffee has more antioxidants per serving than blueberries, making it the biggest source of antioxidants in American diets. All those antioxidants may help suppress the damaging effect of inflammation on arteries. Immediately after drinking it, coffee raises your blood pressure and heart rate, but over the long term, it actually may lower blood pressure as coffee’s antioxidants activate nitric acid, widening blood vessels.

Thus, one should never give up on drinking coffee... In fact, I feel also the non-coffee drinkers should start having it now....

Social Media at its Best when a Woman takes control....!!

Woman play a very vital role in shaping the medium (social media) as a whole. I will explain why as you read on further.... Almost everyone nowadays uses Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc where they share their info, photos, video, links, daily updates, etc .
If one would notice they would realize one striking difference between the amount of info shared by Men as compared to that shared by Women. I found it surprising so I researched more and found out that, its believed that Woman share about 40% more photos, video, links, etc than Men on the social media. Thus, Woman are likely to spend more time on these social media outlets and so can be very successful at it. Social media requires engagement and as it seems woman are good at it.
And now coming to tweets, re-tweets, status updates the Women tend to respond more and are more active than Men on the social mediums. Also, Women are also more likely to stay on topic in a channel, mostly forums and blogs (comments) in this instance. The women who post to blogs are the most actively engaged. They spend the most time online. Over 80% also participate in social networks like Facebook, and over one third of bloggers also participate in Twitter.
Social media is about human communication. It’s no secret that social media sites are dramatically changing the way we live and conduct our lives online. But, what this means to, and how this involves women is commonly overlooked. Perhaps surprisingly, women are online and interacting on social sites just as much — if not, more — than their male counterparts.

Hindi Proverbs and their English Equivalents

This post was made cause of a discussion I had with my Dad last evening during Dinner. We were debating on the differences in the original Chinese and the Indian Chinese cuisine and he kept saying to me Jaisa desh, vaisa bhes and instantaneously I replied In Rome do as the Romans do. I realized there are very fine similarities between a few Hindi and English proverbs.

So today my morning began searching the Internet for some Hindi proverbs which had some resemblance to the English one's. And I was astonished to witness such fine similarities. Thus, I thought to make a list of these few proverbs and publish it for you all to see.

Note: I could be wrong as I am no expert in either of the language but I felt it is a fun thing to do which others could also enjoy so I am sharing the same with you. Hope you enjoy reading it!
