ASUS Zenfone 2 - My top 5 Reasons

I have been waiting for a good phone to buy since a long time. Every phone that comes into the market goes into my scrutiny and fails in some or the other aspects. That is when I heard that ASUS is launching a new phone that can beat all other phones in the market in that price range. Interested, I went on to research on the same and found my dream phone.

 

Here are my top reasons to buy the all new awesome ASUS Zenfone 2.

1. Awesome design and finish

I loved the design of the new Zenfone.it has a Luxurious ultra-thin Ergonomic Arc design with metallic brush finish. It is incredibly-thin 3.9 mm at the edges for a bold yet elegant look, and the rear-mounted volume-control and shutter button is ideally positioned for my index finger. Colors look good and punchy with good saturation levels. It also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protective covering on the front. It is equipped with 5.5-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen with 1,080 x 1,920 pixel resolution for a pixel density of ~403, I call that sharp enough. ZenFone 2 is available in five striking colors from Osmium Black, Sheer Gold, Glacier Gray, Glamour Red and Ceramic White 

2. Long Battery backup

Yes, the battery inside packs 3,000mAh of juice and should provide adequate autonomy. When it drains, the supplied charger, which outputs a monstrous 18W (9V/2A), is there to top it up in no time. This new ASUS Boost Master technology is the ASUS-exclusive technology that charges devices much faster than traditional speeds. With ZenFone 2, this means my battery is juiced up to 60% in no more than 39 minutes.

 3. Wonderful camera

The Zenfone comes with a whopping 13 MP primary camera and 5 MP secondary camera. its PixelMaster camera technology includes Super HDR to improve the light balance. Innovative pixel-enhancing technology increases the brightness and details of shaded areas; and with 400%-better brightness and contrast, Super HDR ensures that the photos you capture look just what your eyes see.

ZenFone 2’s Super Resolution mode uses special image-processing techniques to create incredibly-detailed photos. With Super Resolution mode enabled, ZenFone 2 captures and combines four 13MP photos to create a single image with exceptional 4X clarity. Light or dark, you’ll enjoy more detail and less noise — and resolution equivalent to 52MP!

140-degree panoramic selfies.

4. More RAM and faster Processor.

The ASUS Zenfone 2 is the first smartphone with 4 GB RAM. This mixed with a 2.3GHz 64-bit Intel® Atom™ Z3580 processor

Makes you work faster without lags. So now I can enjoy web surfing, smooth video playback, great gaming experiences and multitasking without waiting. 

5. Capture and never miss moments

Now I can be a pro-photographer with the Zenfone 2. Everything you shoot is caught in real time, so you’ll snap the bright sparkle of the most beautiful firework, the cheeky smiles of the wriggliest infant and the shooting star that’s passes by in the blink of an eye. A DSLR Experience in the Palm of Your Hand.The best part is the Easy-to-use beautification tools that adjust in real-time,ZenFone 2’s Beautification mode makes you or your subjects even better looking before your eyes. Just let ZenFone 2 balance facial features, soften complexions and remove skin blemishes to create flawless photos.

The world through my eyes: NH10 - a must watch Anushka Sharma

NH10 - a must watch Anushka Sharma

Director: Navdeep Singh
Cast: Anushka Sharma, Neil Bhoopalam, Darshan Kumaar, Ravi Jhankal, Deepti Naval

I had seen Badlapur recently and thought this one would be similar after seeing the trailers. the films starts with negativity showing how bad ,people are in North India and how unsafe it is for girls to travel even  in closed big cars at night.a bitter truth though that all might agree.

A normal couple Meera and Arjun are out for a romantic vacation to a private villa. They take a wrong turn( they could have just used a GPS; strangely they did used paper map) and it seems that everyone they ask for directions is a goon and something bad is going on behind his mind. They  witness a public brawl where several people are mercilessly beating and kidnapping a girl and a boy. Arjun tries to interfere and is slapped in front of everyone. then follows the journey where Arjun, hurt by his public display of humiliation takes it up on his ego to teach those "gav wallas"  which turns out to be the biggest mistake of his life. they are made to watch the honor killing and now must run to save their lives.

Anushka Sharma as Meera has given her best performance till now. she plays a typical wife who can beg the goons to leave them alone but also can turn into a brutal woman when it comes to save her husband.  the movie displays the horror of honor killing and is one of the most gruesome movies made in bollywood.

There are many scenes which very well describes the society today.

- A part where the mother-in-law slaps her bahu in front if her grandson, and the boy starts clapping and laughing. its easy to imagine how that kid would turn into in when he grows up.

- A board on the streets saying "abortion is done here" hits right on the mark of the female infanticide  issue prevalent in those parts.

- The film hits hard on the honor killing and it was shocking to see the whole village being supportive of it right from the police.

- The gender discrimination is also showcased well and we see a woman hitting another woman which is quite disheartening.

The film doesn't let you relax at all. it has no love songs and doesn't loose  the track anytime. the plot is small yet gripping. There is brutality, no-frills narrative that hurtles from one skirmish to another between the pursued and the pursuers.
 Although one might feel it was impractical for a couple to chase some dangerous looking goons  in a lonely place, yet we get a faith that such people exist who do the right no matter how stupid that might sound.

Anushka has done a brilliant job as a wife to give back to his tormentors.

 

NH10 is indeed a triumph for the lead actress: she runs through a gamut of emotions as she flits from being a capricious coquette in the initial minutes of the film to quickly assuming the persona of a hopelessly cornered woman left with no option but to fight back with all her might.

Neil Bhoopalam, who is cast as the husband, is a fine actor who suffers a bit on account of the fact that his second-fiddle role isn’t endowed with much meat.

The pack of antagonists is led by two actors that are clearly capable of handling more complex roles
“Darshan Kumaar and Ravi Jhankal. But here, they are reduced to single-note characters.

The cast of NH10 includes Deepti Naval in a small but significant role that propels the film to its distressing yet satisfying climax.

NH10 is disturbing, thought-provoking and entertaining all at once.


A must watch

Being #together in sadness

worlds strongest dog

We have a cute dog at home since 2004 that we got after continuously pestering our parents. Within days, he became an integral part of our lives and we couldn’t imagine a day without seeing him.
As time passed me and my brothers moved out of our homes for higher studies. we would occasionally come back to spend our holidays but it was very rare that all of us came together at the same time. Either one of us siblings would be missing every time.

I vividly remember the day when my mother had called me while I was in college telling me that our dog had been bitten by some local dogs and has got a huge wound under his belly which has become septic. I was shocked and couldn't imagine the pain that little thing would be going through. my mother informed that the doctors have said that he would not be able to survive this attack and would eventually die. I couldn't control my tears. the poor dog would be whining and I was not there to console it. no one could keep me in hostel at that time. I decided to go home and take care of my most loved youngest brother.
I called up my brothers and had no surprise when I heard that one of them was already on the way to home and other had booked his tickets as well. I took leave from my college and caught the bus to my hometown the very next day. One side I was happy to see my family together after a long time and on the other side I was sad for my dog.

On reaching home, I directly went to my dog. He was sitting on his same bed with bandage on his stomach. Even though he was in pain, he was excited to see me and started whining and wagging his tail. I had tears in my eyes and started consoling him and more to me that all would be well.

My brothers arrived within the next day. We were happy that we were finally together even though not for the best of the time. We all discussed what the doctors had said about our dog. my father was optimistic that he would survive this because the dog wanted to and if we took lot of care and gave him medicines at the right time, there was no way he would die. that night I sat there patting my dog thinking that he made us all get back together under one roof. I was happy to have dinner together with my family. we discussed our lives and for sometime forgot about our sadness. It had been a very long time, we had got to sit together. the family seemed complete. Sometimes, even the saddest things in life can bring out the hidden joy. my dog was dying and he brought our family together.

From the next day, we started our daily routine of our mission to save our dog. We did our best and made sure he was happy and had minimal pain. As my father had predicted, this little fellow survived the attack. Within 4 days, the wound had started to heal and he had become healthier. The vet was surprised to see the changes and was now confident of it becoming well soon. Before my vacation ended, the dog was much better. He had started to move out himself and was eating properly.

That day taught me that if the family is together, we can survive all the bad things in life.

My deStress mantras: #SlowDownZindagi

Newly married(happily) and working in IT firm, my daily routine consists of

yes, this is IT effect

Working at home and also at office sometimes  gives me lot of stress. worrying about the pending tasks at office,daily different menu for food, savings, paying bills etc leaves very less space for rest.

so what do I do to get rid of the stress and get instant energy to keep myself going ?

                                         1. warm parachute oil massage

one very good thing that came out of marriage was head massage by my loving husband and he never says no to me. 10 minutes of this massage before sleeping works like alcohol and I get a good night sleep.
‘I am going to try a new quick way to De-stress & #SlowDownZindagi using Parachute Advansed Aromatherapy Oil in association with BlogAdda‘

                                          2. playing with my neighbors dog.

dogs are my weakness and my best friends. the wagging of its tail and constant barking and whining when it sees me back from office is a feast for the eyes and comfort to heart. a mere  five minutes can relax and bring back m energy. I forget all my tensions and walk in to my home feeling like a queen,

                                    3. Treat myself with ice cream watching my favorite TV show.

I don't like desserts but get me a box of nutty butterscotch ice cream and I can gulp it down in one go. the icecream combined with watching Big Bang theory is my stress buster. I laugh all the way and all my tensions fly off to an unknown land .

                                         4. A hot water bath
 nothings relieves you of body pain and stress than a hot water bath/shower. I mix this stress buster with my favorite body wash and just soak in the tub and forget everything else. I then remain unavailable for the next half hour atleast.

                                          5. A Weekend escapade

I love walking under the skies and watching the clouds around me. whenever I am really stressed out and need a break ,me and my husband go on a short bike ride to nearby hills and enjoy the weather and the beauty of nature. this really gives me ample time to relax and spend the best of my time with the love of my life.

these are my stress busters.. what are yours.?
