    [Real Estate] Why Bangalore Is The Best Place To Invest?

    by
    | Syndicated
    August 24, 2015
    Being in Bangalore for the past 5 years, it has given me great insight on how an expanding metro has grown in such a massive way. As we all know when it comes down to this city, the weather is the king. This is a key factor when it comes to settling down in a metro, but some people enjoy the vibe of their own city. Bangalore is unique when it comes to the people’s laid back attitude and the culture.



    The best part about being here is that it is like a central hub for so many road trips in the south, I see exploration becoming one of my hobbies. The riders out here are welcoming towards bringing in new people to their groups. Apart from all this, Bangalore is a very social city and with the rise of choices in cuisine and entertainment I could predict that many people would love to settle down here. I can go on with so many positives as to why I would love to settle down on my own in this amazing city.


    Nowadays getting a space of your own in Bangalore can be very challenging and confusing. Not to mention the number of options I see in the newspaper every Friday, but there are not many properties which have grabbed my attention so far. I recently came across a property called Commune by Golden Gate Properties and their idea of creating affordable luxury homes fits right into my budget.


    Their options are 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments which are currently undergoing construction along the 100ft Chandapura-Anekal road. This choice of location works well for me since I am from Tamil Nadu and what has really caught my eye is their amazing offer.



    In lieu of India’s 69th year of Independence, they have started the Freedom Fiestaoffer. In keeping with the occasion, this one-of-a-kind offer which is on till 15th September aims to reward 69 home buyers of which twenty lucky ones will stand a chance to win a Hyundai Eon car each, forty nine others would each bag gold worth Rs.1 lac.


    Now you tell me which other property has ever made such an offer to rope in potential buyers. I have done a fair amount of research on the price trends in this area and there is a definite boom in the long run.


    So if you are considering to make a viable property investment any time soon, you will want to consider the awe of a living community concept by Commune.

    Finding Parts For Commercial Utility Vehicles in Bangalore

    Commercial utility vehicles form an indispensable part of the automobile industry in India. They are manufactured in various designs and models. These vehicles are used to transport industrial outputs and other such commodities to their destinations.

    Commercial vehicles are categorized into several parts like SCV (Small commercial vehicles), LCV (Light commercial vehicles), MCV (Multi combination vehicles) and HCV (Heavy combination vehicles). The SCV market in India was kicked off successfully with Tata launching Tata Ace in 2005. The SCV and LCV category vehicles can be categorized roughly as sub-1000 cc engine with a weight lesser than 3.5 tons.  Majority of the vehicles in this segment are three wheelers.

    Some of the most common commercial vehicles in India includes Tata motors’ Tata Ace, Ashok Leyland’s Viking, Lynx, Beaver Haulage and Hippo Tipper, Piaggio Ape Swaraj Mazda’s Super high deck truck and WV-26 buses, Eicher’s starline and trucks, Bajaj’s minidor and Balwan.

    One major challenge faced by majority of the commercial vehicle owners is to find the right parts when their vehicles are repaired or underperforming. Unlike consumer service centers, the service and spare part centers for commercial vehicles has always been limited. Especially finding something like heavy truck parts in Bangalore or commercial vehicle accessories in Bangalore has always been a pain point. There’s a huge black market out there which sells commercial vehicle parts in Bangalore to the owners and the service engineers. These parts are not only priced high but also ends up damaging the performance of commercial vehicles.

    Under these circumstances, online portals which could help you find the right place to find the right parts act as a savior. You can easily locate stores who sell authentic parts for commercial utility vehicles like heavy trucks. Adding to that you could find anything like heavy truck parts in Bangalore or commercial vehicle accessories in Bangalore.

    All you need to do is open the online portal and select your location. In my case it’s Bangalore. You can also select an area name to be very specific with your search. Follow it up with your search query. Let’s look for ‘Heavy duty truck parts in Bangalore’. In a jiffy, the website shows up lot of relevant results with a link to view contact details and the sellers' website. Isn’t that awesome? You can also shortlist names and view it for later reference. This awesome feature helps a user not to miss out any details. You can also filter your search by category. For eg. You could possibly select Trucks-New or Commercial vehicle parts & spares. This feature helps refine the search results.Be it anything. Right from axle, suspension or brake solutions for a trailer, bus, commercial truck & trailer, you could easily find the answers. Go give it a try.

    Asus Zenfone 2: The Next Big Thing Is Here

    Image Source: Flipkart
    This is the news we all have been waiting for. After the hugely successful launch of Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 in India, ASUS is now all set to launch Zenfone 2. Just like the previous times, the product will be exclusively available on Flipkart. I went through the product specs in the Flipkart landing page of Asus Zenfone 2 and I must say I wasn’t disappointed at all. Zenfone 2 has got everything you name and is very likely to be priced lower than any other smartphone counterparts with the similar technical specs. The product has undergone a radical design change with the curve on the rear being slightly more pronounced, compared to Zenfone 5. The colors of the phone have been outstanding giving it a premium feel (We missed this a little in the previous versions of Zenfone). Zenfone 2 is available in not just one or two but five striking colors including Glamorous red, Sheer Gold, Ceramic white, Osmium Black and Glacier Gray.

    One of the most significant moves, in fact a very innovative one, is that the volume rocker has now been moved to the rear of the phone. Adjusting the volume or snapping a selfie are now quite easier with this functionality. Zenfone 2 comes with 5.5 inch large screen which can quite comfortably fit into the body of a 5-inch device. ASUS has achieved this almost impossible addition, by reducing the bezel width thereby creating a 72% screen2body ratio. The phone doesn’t just surprise us with a larger screen but also with a high resolution of 1280X720 HD IPS display for ZE550ML model and 1920X1080 FHD IPS display for the ZE551ML model. This spec is bound to give a lot of detail in eye-delighting. ASUS also powers the display with TruVivid technology bringing the color to life in absolutely brilliant clarity.

    Image Source: Flipkart

    Zenfone 2 also comes with a whopping 4GB RAM, a first of its kind in its segment. The product also comes with 2.3GHz Intel Atom Quad Core processor and PowerVR G6430 GPU (The same graphic unit you will find in iPhone 5s). Zenfone 2 comes with 32GB of internal storage. The additional microSD slot can be used to fill up to 64GB of space.

    The Zen UI in the Zenfone 2 allows us for a lot of customization, a user will be able to change icon packs, themes in a jiffy. Zenmotion is another awesome functionality which will enable the user to draw gestures on the screen to open a particular app, when the phone is asleep.

    Overall, ASUS Zenfone 2 is a device which will meet all your expectations of a perfect smartphone without burning a hole in your pocket.

    March 23, 2015


    In our list of priorities, it’s very easy for a breakfast to fall low in a busy morning. However taking a few minutes to have something in the morning can make a huge impact on your day. Many of us don’t have time for breakfast. It could be because of several reasons. 

    1) Late to school
    2) Late to college
    3) Late to work

    Why breakfast is called the kind of all the meals? Why do few call it as the most important meal of the day? After an overnight fast, breakfast is the one which gives the brain and body with fuel.  A lot of well-known nutritionists advise that we should have breakfast within 2 hours of waking up. A healthy breakfast should be able to provide calories somewhere around 20-30% of your daily allowance in the guideline. Apart from giving us energy, breakfasts are sources of vital nutrients like iron, Vitamin B and calcium. Vegetables and fruits are good sources of vitamins. Hence including a portion of them in your daily breakfast can make a lot of difference to your day. 

    I can hear you. Your question is ‘Who has got time to prepare breakfast in the morning?’ Let’s take a look at Guptaji’s family recipes. These recipes can be prepared in a flash. This is the reason Guptaji’s family is quite popular in the neighborhood.

    Here’s a recipe of Cornflake Coconut Ladoos. All you need is ¼ tsps. Each of ghee, condensed milk and designated coconut along with 2 cups of cornflakes (crushed) and 2 tbsp. of mixed nuts (Chopped)



    Here’s another interesting recipe you can prepare in less than 5 minutes. All you need is a cup of cold milk and cornflakes, 2 tbsp. of walnuts (chopped) and ½ cup of custard apple pulp (Deseeded). Let’s get going now. Pick up a bowl and fill it with the cup of cornflakes. Add a cup of cold milk and top it up with walnut & custard apple. Best served immediately. 



    Who doesn’t like walnut cornflakes with Chocó balls and what if I tell you that you can prepare this breakfast recipe in less than 15 minutes. All you need is ½ cup of lightly roasted walnuts (Chopped), lightly roasted ground cornflakes, ½ cup of milk chocolate (roughly chopped), and ½ cup of dark chocolate (roughly chopped). Follow the procedure below. 



    Here comes my most favorite of all Guptaji’s family breakfast recipes because it can be made in less than 3 minutes and hence my perfect breakfast recipe. Pick up about one and a half cup of cold milk, one sliced banana, ½ cup of strawberries (Sliced) and a cup of cornflakes. Take a bowl. Fill it up with cornflakes, add the cold milk, top with bananas and strawberries and you are done. 



    Take a look at how Guptaji’s neighborhood is going crazy for their family’s breakfast invite

    This Summer’s Biggest Blockbuster

    by
    | Syndicated
    March 4, 2015


    Recently I stumbled across this video by Pepsi. It starts with a strong copy ‘This Summer’s Biggest Blockbuster’. Turns out it’s going to be one. For my surprise, I could see plenty of who’s who of Bollywood and cricketing world. To name a few in the video; Bollywood Heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, Indian Cricket Sensation Virat Kohli, Music Magician Pritam Chakraborty, Director Anurag Basu and Terence Lewis. Are they coming together for a movie? Is this an ad shoot? Could it be a reality show? Let’s take a look at what’s happening in this video.


    Everyone in this video claims that this is all about them. Ranbir says people come to theatre to watch him in big screens. Virat Kohli says people come to cricket stadium to watch him play. Anurag Basu claims that he’s the backbone and others are just puppets. Pritam Da says the actor just lip sync for the music that he creates.


    While almost everyone in the video gives me a feel that it’s going to be a star-studded movie, Virat Kohli doesn’t. He talks about cricket. Is he going to make his debut in Bollywood? There has been run off the mill rumors that he will make his Bollywood debut very soon and the fact Pepsi is claiming that this is gonna be this summer’s biggest blockbuster, it kind of gives me the same feel too.


    My friend Sanjeev thinks it could be a reality show. Since everyone in this video, claims that this is all about them and others don’t matter, it kind of gives me the feel that reality show doesn’t sound like a bad idea. After all, reality shows revolve around individuals and their capabilities.


    I also managed to get hold of few shots which were taken during the shoot







    Let’s take guesses now. Shall we? Take a look at this video and tell me what you think this could be

    Tata Bolt Review: The Hatchback That Will Steal Your Hearts

    by
    | Syndicated
    January 31, 2015
    Source: TataMotors
    Tata has recently seen success with the launch of Zest, competing with the likes of Suzuki Desire and Honda Amaze. However considering the number of players in the mid range hatchback segment, with the launch of Tata Bolt, has Tata succeeded again? My answer would be a big 'YES'. Here are my five reasons why. 

    Engine & Performance


    The Bolt is powered by 1193CC Revotron motor (Petrol) just like that of Tata Zest. The motor has gone through extensive reworks to differentiate itself from previous hatchback models from Tata like Indica V1 and Vista. The powerplant of the engine uses the honeywell turbocharger and makes about 5000 rpm. The five speed transmission is sure to give smooth and positive shifts. For the first time in this segment, the Bolt offers 3 driving modes such as Eco, Sport and City. When switched between the modes, the Bolt not only changes the accelerator pedal's sensitivity but also informs the ECU to deliver better fuel economy or more power. I must say the engineers at Tata have done a great job in making the engine drivable while keeping the turbo-level at minimal levels in low rpm range.


    Style (Interior)

    Anyone who's familiar with Tata cars will definitely be surprised looking at Tata Bolt. There's a vast improvement in Bolt from Tata's previous offerings in the similar segment. As soon as you jump inside the car, the first thing you'll notice is the elegant and stylish dashboard. The design looks absolutely fresh with a java black theme and chrome silver detailing. The switches and knobs has the feel of Euro Design unlike the other cars in this segment which is more of Japanese or Korean designs. 

    Entertainment

    The bolt comes with a powerful 8-speaker Harman Kardon entertainment system with video playback and navigation. The devices comes with a 5 inches resistive touch screen with added features like bluetooth, USB, AUX and SD card connectivity. The performance was stunning. Even when I turned up the volume to the maximum, there was no distortion or clipping. It's one of those rare OEM systems, where it gets better as you go louder. The navigation system deserves a big applause. Owners can download the free MapMyIndia Navi Maps & Harman Smartlink apps in their Android smartphones and then connect it to the Harman Kardon system. 

    Features (Driving Modes)

    The instrument cluster comes with a clean white lighting. The power window switches and the buttons on the central console are illuminated with a super clean back light. The best part is, the brightness of this back light can be adjusted to five different modes too. There's an MID in the middle with a speedometer to the right and a tachometer to the left. Right above the MID, the tata bolt has got options for three different driving modes - City, Sport and Eco. A chime is played to let the user know there's a shift between driving modes. 

    Design

    Parked next to it's competitors in the similar segment, the bolt stands out with a completely mature design. It's contemporary and nearly identical to Zest when seen from the front. For the low beams, the headlamp possesses halogen projectors and it also has a smoked finish. The bonnet has a power bulge in the center. The silhouette is quite similar to vista. The absence of plastic strips or claddings on the side gives Bolt a professional look. 

    Check out few pictures I took with Tata Bolt at Forum Mall, Koramangala, Bangalore

    My Airbnb Wish List: The Top 5 Most Interesting Places I Would Like To Visit

    | Syndicated
    December 14, 2014
    Airbnb is the one of the most trusted community market places, where one can discover, list and also book unique accommodations around the world right from their mobile phone or online. At Airbnb, you will find a lot of beautiful places which you might've seen only in movies and won't be able to find on any other accommodation booking websites. I just created my Airbnb wish list of the top 5 most interesting places I would like to visit in 2014. Let's explore

    Sleep In A Bus - Uschi The Bus: 



    Source: Airbnb
    Sleeping in a vintage bus close to a beach has always been on top of my wish list. I totally fell in love with this 1954 Vintage Boho Bus based in Ibiza, San Rafael, Balearic Islands, Spain. The bus does not just sport a great vintage design but also comes with all the amenities enough to take someone through a wild and adventurous trip. The hosts are kind enough to allow us to put the bus in a favorite secret beach of ours with mind blowing ocean side views and a location where you can view the best sunset at Ibiza. It also comes decorated with flowers & champagne to make it special for the lovers who would like a memorable romantic night. You can also ask for a sail boat or power boat to take your special ones through the amazing waters. 

    Fairytale Cottages - Jack Sparrow House, Cornwall:


    Source: Airbnb
    This amazing cabin is located at Helston, England, United Kingdom. The sweeping sea and the beautiful countryside view is sure to make one's holiday relaxing and memorable. Enjoying the spectacular view of sunset over the fields of Tregaminion is comparable only to the heaven and nothing else in this world. The stunning coastal scenery and the unspoilt fishing villages would be very ideal for my favorite list of activities like Sailing, Surfing & Cycling.

    North American Tree Houses - Secluded Intown Treehouse:


    Source: Airbnb
    This beautiful and dream cottage is located at Wilson Road Northwest, Atlanta, GA, United States. This is the most romantic, beautiful, unique, dreamy and relaxing place and hence takes the Rank 2 in my wish list. The tree house comes with 3 separate rooms connected by rope bridges and hence ideal for my dream family trip. The hosts also welcome you with a bottle of wine and a basket of local snacks. This completely justifies the kind of hospitality you'll receive at the secluded intown treehouse. 

    Modern European Villas - Architect house with Jacuzzi:


    Source: Airbnb
    Rank 4 in my Airbnb wishlist goes to the architect house located at Rue de Losquedic, Plougoulm, Brittany, France. This beautiful and stylish architect house built in 2010 is sure to give anyone comfort, peace and tranquility. The hosts are also kind to arrange a lot of recreational activities like Horse riding, boat trips, sailing, swimming, tennis, golf and a lot more very close to where you stay. If I get to stay here, I will also be staying pretty close to a lot eye-pleasing places like the isle of wight, dossen, the bay of morlaix and Roscoff. Adding to that, the architect house comes with a beautiful Jacuzzi. Do I have to tell anything more about this? :)

    Oui, Oui Paris - Duplex Saint Germain des Près:


    Source: Airbnb
    The Duplex Saint Germain des Près-Paris located at Paris, Île-de-France, France occupies Rank No.5 in my Airbnb wishlist. This large & beautiful apartment is situated on the top two floors of a tall building constructed in hausmanian style. The apartment comes with 3 cosy rooms making it ideal for my dream family trip. The apartment is constructed in such a way to ensure the holiday is quite and peaceful with double sun exposition and an amazing view of the beautiful Paris.

    Nando’s Church Street Review: The Best Chicken You’ll Ever Taste In Bangalore

    by
    | Syndicated
    November 15, 2014
    Recently I was invited to Nando's (Church Street, Bangalore) to review some of their newly launched dishes. I have always heard extremely positive reviews about this place from my friends & I've been waiting to try their globally popular Peri-Peri flame grilled chicken. 

    I visited the restaurant last friday with a friend and a fellow blogger. As we entered, we were greeted by their waiters and the beautiful & friendly Ms. Shambavi Mishra (Brand Manager, Nando's) who took great pleasure in showing me and my friends to our seats. I was also quite surprised to see some of the well known bloggers who had come over there for the tasting session. I could also see quite a number of families with their kids and couples in the restaurant who were relishing their meal. 

    The tasting session was kicked off. We were introduced to some of their best gourmet designer drinks. Shambavi was kind enough to take us through the menu and suggest the best out of their bests. We had tried few of these 

    A) Citrus Bliss: Mojito Mint syrup, grapefruit juice, and sprite coupled with ice cubes and fresh mint leaves.  Once spruced up with some slices of fresh citrus fruit she’s good to go.

    B) Madeira red: A sweet , fizzy, pomegranate lemonade made with sprite and finished with a delicious sugary rim. Sweet and simple.

    C) Portuguese lemonade

    D) Poncha Zurra Blanco - A traditional drink infused with pomegranate syrup, cinnamon and ginger with slices of orange  and apple mixed with sprite.

    and I must say we were quite impressed with the right mix of ingredients.

    We also tried their  

    Spicy mixed olives, Roasted veg dip, Hummus and warm pita
    Chicken livers and Portuguese Roll- Served with a roll to soak up the sauce
    9 chicken wings in variety of PERi-PERi heats

    Special mention must go to their Chicken livers, which was totally out of the world. I've never ever had such a tasty chicken liver in my life. My rating for the dish would be a 10 out of 10. 

    For the main course, we tried their legendary Espetada Rustica ( Tender marinated chicken thighs stuffed with sundried tomatoes, red onions, served on a skewer with 2 reg sides),  Cataplana Algarve - Served in an authentic copper dish with PERi-PERi chicken thighs, grilled peppers and chick peas with our special cataplana sauce served on a bed of spicy rice, quarter chicken and their newly launched Butterfly chicken meal. 

    Unfortunately I had to rush and couldn't relish some of their desserts. While leaving, Shambavi surprised us with a nicely designed photo portrait and a bottle of lemon herb peri-peri sauce. 


    Here are few of the snaps we took 

    Nando's Menu Card

    Poncha Zurra

    Spicy mixed olives, Roasted veg dip, Hummus and Warm pita
    Chicken Wings with variety of Peri-Peri heats

    Butterfly Chicken Meal - Chicken Breast, Fries & Olive Salad

    Cataplana Algarve

    Chicken Thighs with Peri Peri Sauc

    Overall it was an amazing experience and an evening well spent. The flavor of their Peri-Peri sauce did make me smile. 

    Looking forward to visit the restaurant again soon.

    My rating:
    Food - 4.5/5
    Ambiance - 4/5
    Location - 4.5/5
    Price - 4/5

    Dell India, one of the leading technology solution provider in the country and INKtalks, an organization which aims to inspire youth, particularly in emerging economies have partnered on the INK2014 Confererence – Beyond Boundaries. The conference is in Mumbai at the Grand Hyatt from 31 Oct – 2 Nov in Mumbai.

    This collaboration was born out of Dell’s dedicated focus towards technology as an enabler of growth- both personal and professional.

    Dell has consistently engaged with the youth in the past with ‘Achieve with Dell’, ‘I Can Do Kuch Bhi’ and ‘Back to College’ program. These programs engage and inspire the youth to reach their full potentials and achieve their goals, using personal technology as an enabler. This collaboration with INKtalks is an extension of Dell’s ‘Back to College’ initiative.

    Looking forward to some intense and mindboggling talks by the speakers and meeting some interesting people at the conference. Definitely one of the most exciting conferences of the year!
