Too Much Choice is Not good

Who says having many choices is good. I am looking into buying a mobile but am so tired of choosing. Everyone of them i select has one thing missing.

I finally settle for one that works as a PDA and has phone capabilities etc   ipaq for 18000 Rs. But its only available online, so i am worried what happens when i have some problem with the unit. I recently bought a playstation 2 from indiatimes.com and they sent me a faulty controller and i have been mailing them and so far no response it has been more than 2 weeks or so. So i am afraid of buying this online.

So i settle to buy them in store in person, so i can’t have the pda atleast not at the same price. So i go for other phones like nokia n70 for 18000 Rs but when i do some research i found that there are so many n series phone that its hard to choose. For example there is Nokia N 70, 71, 72, 73, and N 80. I like the Nokia  N 80 but its way too pricey around 25000 Rs. so i will have to settle for something like Nokia N70. 

Then i found those odd deal on rediff and other sites where i can get a treo 600 for 14000 Rs and another Motorola A780 for 13500 Rs. But both are very old.

 so still undecided i went and looked for sony Eriksson phones. And found  the M600 which is a super phone if only it had a camera. Everything i want it has touch screen and all the stuff but no camera. Why are you doing this to me.

I found a phone that has all the things i want a touch screen a good camera but its from nokia called nokia 6708 for 18000 Rs and they are not known for their touch screens so i am still searching. we let you know which one i will buy.

Who says choice is a good thing. Atleast i am not enjoying this..

Concrete used in Narmada dam can lay 22500 km road

I actually went to this page for the Narmada dam story and got distracted by the xbox 360 ad. I have to get my priorities straight. Did you guys know this “This is the second largest dam in the world in terms of concrete used and it can lay a 22,500 km long concrete road which can encircle the equator,” executive engineer of the project Ashok Gajjar told PTI. The Grand Kollig dam in the United States is the largest dam in the world in terms of concrete used.” That would make quite a few roads in India good. But I am not sure how useful a dam is when people whom it being built for are protesting.

Have you seen the Indian xbox 360 commercial

I saw it on this page on rediff, What’s with the video ad’s rediff that’s for another time. In the ad Akshay kumar and Yuvraj singh go to a village and see the villages do all kind of acrobatics and are really surprised, then they realize that the villagers are playing xbox 360. Interesting ad none the less. Whom are they targeting with the ad. Villagers or kids, gamers in villages i don’t get it.

Go to this page hope this ad is playing when you go.

I don’t think you can do it India in public though, but it will work the exact amount is hard to nail down.
