Twinkle twinkle little star...

Game shows have taken over the TV prime time slots these days. From "Kon banega crorepati" (Hindi version of who wants to be a millionaire) to "Bol baby bol" to "Kya aap panchive pas se tez hein", everyone seems to be asking questions. Better than the soap operas I say. They at least make you think. Here is a question that probably everyone must have asked as a kid. I am not sure how many of us know the correct answer though.

"Why do stars twinkle?"

Now, be honest and try to answer it without asking someone or searching for the answer. You can use the comments link to drop in your answer. The correct answers can suggest a topic on which I will post a blog or send in their questions or comments which I can post on this blog.

Sony Ericsson K810i

Geeta's old mobile stopped working so we were on the lookout for a new phone. Requirements were -

1. Decent Camera & Flash - atleast 3 MP as she would need to click lots of snaps of Ahan. Also flash was a must as there would be a lot of situations where the snaps will be taken in insufficient light conditions.
2. FM Radio & MP3 player - must have again as both Geeta and Ahan love to listen to music and it provides a good means of TP.
3. Speaker Phone - required as for Ahan to listen to music it will have to be played on the speaker phone.
4. Video & audio recording - required to capture those amazing moments with Ahan.
5. Bluetooth - must these days
6. Stylish and new - Obviously, if a girl is going to use it!

After a lot of comparison we chose the Sony Ericsson K910i. Its a new model and we got it in a nice color, especially for the ladies! It has a 3.2 MP camera (cybershot) with Xenon flash and all the other features that we were looking for. We compared this phone against the Nokia N73 and Music Express phones and W910i by Sony Ericsson.

Here is a link to check out all the technical details of the phone.

We are very happy with the phone. The screen clarity is good, the phone is light and nice to hold and easy to operate. No issues what so ever with the software or anything other thing. The camera and flash are superb (one of our most important reasons to go for this phone, due to the cybershot brand name). It came with a 2GB card.

I will post some of the photographs taken with it and more updates in the days to come.
