UniverCell Sync


As mentioned on the site I had visited to UniverCell Sync( Mobiles & Speakers showroom in Cause Way, Colaba) on last Saturday(23/08/14). It was the beautiful experienced to visit in the showroom which I would like to share with you.

As soon as I entered in the showroom, sales associates standing near the door maintained a level of professionalism by welcoming me & to the new customers. The showroom was clean & tidy. Everything was placed in proper shelf's/racks with the required space to stand for the customers & to have a good look. When I was looking for the mobiles, an sales associate person came to me asking if I need any kind of help. He explained me the specifications of the mobiles. He was just around me for helping and explaining me the features of different mobiles & speakers.

But the best thing I liked was the feeling of “hands on experience”. Usually when we go to the normal mobiles shops they don't give demo or allow us to operate mobiles with your own hands. Also when we buy mobiles online we only know the features, price & the public reviews but the major part which is experience by yourself is missing. But in this showroom it was like that we are here to take a car & before taking car you can go for a test drive. Yes, they were allowing to operate the mobiles & to check the features, specifications of the mobile live so we will get a good idea of the particular product which we are planning to take. By doing this we will get to know
in details about that particular mobile such as its touch quality, the inbuilt features & apps, the camera , speaker quality etc. Not only the mobiles we can also check the sound quality of the speakers by playing music in the showroom. This will help us to know the quality, the volume, the background beats of the speakers. It was just amazing to check all this products qualities live.

And the second best thing I noticed that I didn't found even a single sales associates frowning, looking bored, ignoring customers or acting distracted. In fact they were giving the best solutions to the customer queries unless the customer get satisfy answers to his problems.

But to be honest I have not taken mobile because it was out of my budget. I really feel embarrassing because by spending time in showroom & also getting to know the products in details I couldn't buy it. So sorry for that. But I promise you that with in a couple of month I will definitely visit again in your showroom & will buy a mobile. Also I would like to thanks the Sr. Sales associate/Manager for giving me refreshment when leaving the showroom. I wish your showroom gets lots of success & hope I can contribute at least a little for the company expansion & success.

Internet - A boon or bane

 Today Internet has become a daily routine & plays a vital role in everyone's  life. It has been using world wide for daily works which reduces our stress & work time. Everything is found easily in Internet. Now it has became one of the basic need among food, clothing, shelter and Internet. But there are several drawbacks too of misusing Internet. Lets go through the advantages & disadvantages of Internet & check whether using Internet is a boon or bane in our daily life.

 A man needs a fair amount of information to run his life efficiently, and to date the Internet is the most versatile information-provider that man has ever devised. It has search engines that are fast and powerful. Using Internet makes our work easier & faster. Every thing is easily accessible in Internet whether it should be on any topics, news , information, etc. It gives us knowledge & entertain us too. Simply sitting at home we can do infinite stuffs using Internet. We can book the tickets for travels, we can pay all types of bills payment, We can use Internet as a medium to connect with the people through social media. Using Internet we can sit on one place & do video chat to the other person who is sitting on the other side of the world from our family, friends, relatives etc. (e.g if they’re in Asia, than we’re in North America) The Internet provides the ability of emails. Free mail service to anyone in the country. Things such as Yahoo Answers and other sites where kids can have readily available help for homework.It also become a motivation for students in sharing their work online with the world.Even we can do shopping by sitting at home. I don't think there will be any other equipments for shopping better than this. There are many advantages which cannot be defined here because it will take 2-3 pages more.

As there are infinite advantages of Internet, there are several drawbacks too as I mentioned earlier. Time which we consider major part of our life is the major disadvantage in misusing Internet. It is very easy to waste a lot of time on the Internet by doing surfing, playing games, by searching, reading & viewing bad things. Especially teenagers are considered to waste there time by looking Pornography sites. Apart from this hackers can create viruses that can get into your personal computer and ruin valuable data also they can use the Internet for identity theft. There are a lot of unscrupulous businesses that have sprung up on the Internet to take advantage of people. There is a lot of wrong information on the Internet. Anyone can post anything, and much of it is garbage. There are parents who complain that the Internet has swept their children off their feet, so much so that they do not seem to be interested in anything else. They ignore their studies, parents, social responsibilities and even ignore their health by not playing enough outdoor and indoor games. In other words, the Internet can act like an addictive drug. Sitting on Internet  for hours is not a healthy practice for both physical and mental health, it creates eye redness, burning sensation in eye, etc. People use Internet so much that they even watch the cricket match in office using live streaming sites. Some avail leave to watch cricket matches which affects the office works at the same time of our country. So these are the drawbacks which we have to take care about.

But there are few disadvantages that can be stopped by us. Internet service providers should blacklists the Porn sites. Parent's should have a focus on there children when they are using Internet. In Schools there must be at least one lecture in a week about the advantages or disadvantages of the Internet. By following such topics there are the chances that the students stops misusing of Internet. If not totally but a little will be effective.

According to me no doubt Internet is a boon for us and it is the man who has made Internet a curse for him.  It is a device of education that gives us knowledge, pleasure, entertain us, can hear and see images, inspiring videos, Can see the world by this. The only things matter is we should learn good, new & advantageous things from Internet. Inventions like the Internet, which can be such an unmitigated blessing to us, also lends itself to terms like ‘bane’ and ‘curse’! 

But that is how the world goes, I suppose!

An unforgettable vacation of my life

When asked of my most memorable moment in my life, it would be my  last summer vacation trip to Jammu & Kashmir. This is especially memorable because this is the first J & K trip with my family. We planned the whole trip 2 months in advance, because we were going to stay only 5 days and we wanted to take the best out of our family vacation trip, I was impatient to be there with my family. Also two more families of my uncles accompanying us.

So after more than 24 hours of railway journey we reached Katra station of Jammu. We had hired a car & the best person was the car driver to guide us. As soon as we reached at our hotel , the decided plan was to visit Vaishno Devi Temple of Jammu at midnight. As decided we started at midnight & believe me there were more than thousands of peoples who started to visit temple at midnight. The streets were full of colorful lights & there were horses also to take you to the temple. On the next day at 9.30 am we reached at the temple & took blessing of the Goddess. After visiting temple we came back to our hotel & decide to plan for the next 4 days.

On next day the driver  took us to Srinagar which is very close to Kashmir. It took 8-9 hours from Jammu to Kashmir. Now it was the time to plan for the next 3 days & according to the plan, on the next morning we first visited to 2 famous garden of Srinagar called Shalimar garden & Nishat garden. After that we visit to Dal lake for boating where we had saw boat houses & floating garden in Dal lake. So it was the beautiful end of the day 1 in Srinagar.

The next day we visited to Pahalgam which is also known as Small Switzerland due to its beautiful scenery & on the last day we gone to Gulmarg the beautiful place of Srinagar where you can think that its a heaven on earth. The whole region is covered with snow where we can play lots of snow games. I also did ice-skiing on that snow. It was the awesome moments to spend such a beautiful time on such a heaven place. At the time of coming back to hotel we also did river rafting in Jhelum river.

It was really a memorable trips which I cannot forget. What else you want in your life if you are spending such a memorable time with your families. Really J & K is a Paradise on earth where everyone should visit at least once. I am thankful to my parent who took me in such a wonderful place. I am also thankful to God we could traveled everywhere we planned with my whole family together and as I said before it was one of those memorable trips if not the most memorable in my life.

A Trip to Remember- Goa

It was fantastic. I still remember my five long days of vacation spent in Goa. Goa, one of the most popular holiday destinations for people all across the globe, is the smallest state in India situated on the coast of Arabian Sea. Goa is known for its beaches, churches, forts and nightlife. I remembered it took 9 hours of train journey but as soon as we reached at Mapusa station, all tiredness, in need of sleep had wiped out from our faces & we were ready for thrill, enjoy & to rock the party.
                                                                                                                                   There are lots of beaches to visit but the best beaches that I liked are Calungate & Anjuna beach. The reason is at nights, tables & chairs are kept on the beaches, with a single candle lit on every tables which attracts the people especially couples who wants to spend quite quality time & also for its trance parties & sea foods. The best sea food I found in Spice Goa restaurant which is in Mapusa City where we stayed.

Calungate Beach

I just really love the beautiful beaches its warm & beautiful climate , lifestyle and the very beautiful scenery of the Forts, Churches, Temples & many curious gifts that one can purchase there for the near & dear ones & for the friends. But also I would like to share one negative point i.e the  narrow roads of Goa so they need to be developed as top quality, wide roads which may prevent several accidents.             



To conclude, my trip to Goa was quite an enjoyable one. In a way, it is sad to leave Goa & return to work. Sad because I will miss the beaches, the forts, the long drive rides and various interesting things of day-to-day life of there which we do not see in any other states of India. It was excitement moment in my life & I would love to go once again if time permits. I couldn't wait to share

our amazing photos.
