moto Razr gold for 25000 Rs

goldrazr

There are ads airing for this in India on channels like star world and others. I found a picture of it. Guess how much it will cost. 25000 Rs that’s quite reasonable when you see that its gold plated. But I think it will be twice that in India. If you can find one…

Stay home that’s safe

With things like this only home seem to be the safe place. This gun is not only small but it can kill you too. What will they come up next grenades that will be so small that they will fit in mouthfresh packets that can be thrown at will.

TV news channels are nuts

Yesterday when there was a bomb blast in Sri Lanka. There were quite a few causalities. But the Indian news channels were not worried about that they are more interested to know if the tri series cricket tournament will continue or not. Come on guys there are much more important things in life. While they were showing that news below the news scroller said “BCCI is in contact with the team management” and not about the casualty or something like that. There is something wrong with that isn’t it

You will use 104 mobile phone before you die.

104mobile

How do I know this. Here is the simple calculation it could go few here on there.

average lifetime of a mobile : 6months

average human life time : 70 years

age to get your first mobile : 18 yrs

Thats 52 years of mobile using age so   52 X 2 = 104 mobile.

Now calculate that comes up to 104 mobile in your life time no wonder then mobile companies are coming up with new models everyday. So many new models that unless you are in some kind of contract you change you mobile in six months. I have kept mine for over a years now but not because i don’t want a new one but because i cannot afford a new one. So even if you change half as less and live half the time you will still be using around 50 mobile. So go figure, So its okay drop your old phone and get a new one. you will in six months so why wait.
