I have seen my friends with their mood spoiled if they do not get a proper handbag with them while roaming around. I assume they don’t require that enough make up than they require a perfect handbag to go out with.

Every girl has her own list of likeable accessories, shoes or handbags. What I found interesting about Sanjana’s video is that out of the 5 bags she has on the list, all girls will have agree her likings. The way she has highlighted the type of bags one must own to the way she has projected hem in the video is simply splendid. She is clear in her communication and the video is shot really well. The girls out there will love the attitude of Sanjana and indeed it is a fantastic video for girls.

The right music doesn’t soothe the savage beast; it makes the beast more savage. When you’re going for a long run, that’s exactly what you want. The pulse of thumping beats can make you feel superhuman. It certainly beats the sound of your own labored breathing. That’s where Headphones with Mic come into the picture. They are the entity needed in our day to day life.

But all headphones are not created equal. Some refuse to stay in your ears. Some have no dynamic range. Some are like small torture devices. Sure, you can get better audio fidelity with larger, over-the-ear phones, but they’re heavier, bulkier, hotter, and just not practical for working out. They also had to be tough. Sweat-proof, water-resistant, and build quality were taken into account. Also while listening to music at a crowded place where for instance in the train or buses, it becomes very difficult to talk on phone. So headphones with mic will serve your need.

We can also wearthose doing pushups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, and using a punching bag. Each are also tested on a wide range of music in a quiet room—you know, for yoga poses. Comfort, stability, durability, volume, and sound isolation played key roles, in addition to straight-up sound quality.

The 680 Sports series from Adidas simply give you the most booms for your buck, and by boom means the bass. These pack some of the heaviest bass ever heard, and they’re loud, too. The neckband design means that they didn’t budge even slightly when running or doing jumping jacks. They’re light and they have a built-in mic with start/stop and volume controls. They’re sweat-proof, water-resistant, and rinsable. They let in a bit of ambient noise, but because they can go so loud it’s easy to overwhelm it. While it isn’t the cleanest sound, the 14mm drivers have enough bass to give it a full sound.

Not always such mess foods are lovable. Restaurants take away food are the best to have whenever required. For lunch or for dinner, you name it and it is available. Also Home delivery services of the restaurants are a boon to the people of Pune.

There is no denying the fact that modern smart phones are replacing many gadgets, but there is one parameter that they can’t compete with. It is the screen real-estate. Smartphone displays have grown in the number of pixels, but their size hasn’t yet crossed the 6-inch boundary. There are a few things which we enjoy more on a larger portable display and for that you must own a tablet.

The below listed Android tablets support Wi-Fi, 3G, voice calling, and micro USB for data transfers.

1. Vox v102

Unlike other cheap tablets available below Rs. 5,000, this Vox dual SIM tablet looks pretty decent for its price tag. It has a 7 inch 800×480 pixel display and also rear and front-facing cameras of 0.3MP each. Its 1.2 GHz dual-core processor coupled with 512 MB RAM runs Android Jelly Bean v4.2 buttery smooth. It also has 4GB ROM along with support for up to 32GB external storage via a micro SD card. The tablet gets its power from a 2800 mAh Li-Po battery which is capable enough to keep it ON for a day of light-moderate usage.

 

2. iBall 3G17 Tablet

Include 4GB ROM, support for micro SD card up to 32 GB, 512MB RAM, 2MP primary and VGA secondary camera, 3000 mAh battery, Bluetooth v3.0, and GPS. As this is based on a single-core processor, it would not be ideal for gaming and HD video playback.

 

4. Asus Fonepad 7 2014 FE170CG

The Fonepad 7 2014, is one of the best budget tablet with 3G and voice calling facilities. It runs on 1.2GHz dual-core Intel chip complimented with 1GB RAM for superior multi-tasking.

Its other hardware specifications include 7” 1024×600 pixel display, 2MP primary camera with full HD video recording, VGA secondary camera, single SIM support, and a 3950 mAh Li-Po battery.

 

Now, obviously the idea of “low-cost” is somewhat subjective. It is also worth mentioning that all devices are full unlocked, and off contract. In the last decade or so, we have seen an explosion of smart phones in our lives. Smart phones once a gadget reserved for the privileged ones — have now become a necessity for the teeming masses, thanks to a huge reduction in their prices.

 

 

The World Cup fever is on, and the players are under tremendous pressure to perform. One of the important things is wearing footwear which should suit the kind of rigorous exposure while playing comfortably. Footwears in this World Cup are primarily designed for sports or other forms of physical exercise, but in recent years it has come to be used for wearing casual every day. Attributes of this shoe include a flexible sole, and ability to absorb impact. These shoes are based more on the design of the bottom of the shoe than the aesthetics of the top of the shoe.

As brands gear up for the World Cup, the competition for the most high-tech and festive cleat has gotten heated. The Nike Magista is the favorite, but Adidas has released a stable worth of intimidating dark horses. The Battle Pack, a collection of five boots with classic silhouettes and aggressive styling, is definitely going to make an impression.
The Battle pack consists five of Adidas’ high-end boots receive an aggressive color. The black and white design of the Adizero f50, predator, Nitrocharge, 11pro and Adizero f50 Messi are apparently inspired by the war paint of native warriors and the iconic pavement patterns of ancient Mesopotamia, perfected on the Copacabana beach. Besides the splash of color from the stripes, each colourway uses an even split of black and white.

World Cups call for a foot wears which protect feet and ankles. Sports-specific shoes are a wise investment for serious athletes, though perhaps a less critical consideration for the weekend or occasional athlete; nevertheless, it’s a good idea to use the correct shoe for each sport. Probably a more important consideration is the condition of the shoe doesn’t wear any sport or other shoes beyond their useful life.

This footwear should be fitted to hold the foot in the position that’s most natural to the movement involved. For example, a running shoe is built to accommodate impact, while a tennis shoe is made to give relatively more support and permit sudden stops and turns. For sports, “cross trainers” are fine for a general athletic shoe, such as for physical education classes. But if a child is involved more heavily in any single sport, he or she should have a shoe specifically designed for that sport. So wear this sporty look…and pump your style!!!

Cricket–not just a sport but a religion in India. An extravaganza full of emotions. The World Cup is its finest tournament where all the nations come together to play this extra ordinary game. The first cricket World Cup in 1975 was not even called the World Cup; it was called the Prudential Cup. Cricket’s World Cup 2015 is very different from that first edition. Starting on Valentine’s Day with 42 matches over 43 days, 14 teams and an estimated global TV audience of over 1 billion generating significant business, much of it in India. With Amitabh Bachchan in the commentary box for the India-Pakistan game and commentary also in regional languages, it also promises to be a different viewing experience, reflective as much of India’s madness for the game as that madness shaping it.

Talking about the performances, indeed the performances of players have lifted like anything. Earlier scoring 300 runs in an inning was a tedious job, now it is being done quite easily by many teams and also the scores are chased like anything. Remember the South Africa vs. Australia game where SA crushed Australia’s massive 434 like peanuts. Also the players have become more fitness conscious than earlier because of the competition within the players in the same team and same dressing room for that matter.

Right from the personal scores to the total team score all have raised like anything. 3 out of 4 ODI Batsman who scored 200+ in an inning are Indians, and the fourth one that of the destructive play of Chris Gayle this World Cup. Now days, teams are not afraid of chasing any given target. This shows how the players are keeping their temperament while chasing. Then there is a man who has proved himself in every format of the game being played, South Africa’s ODI skipper AB DeVilliers. He is considered as the magician when he comes to bat. The precise back strokes, pull, reverse sweeps worth watching. He has raised the standard of death over batting in ODI vs. West Indies this World Cup.

Today if anyone wants to enter the National team, it’s needless to say that he should know every aspect of the game right from bowling, batting and fielding. Earlier, out of the playing 11, hardly 3-4 players used to be good fielders and the Tail Enders could not bat throughout the whole inning if the top order collapsed. This is certainly not the case now, players are not afraid to dive to stop a ball racing away to the boundary. Also the bowlers now these days dive to stop the ball, which is rarely seen.

There is also exceptional pressure on the players to perform each and every time. There are also lots of criticizing faced by the players because of their performance. But these days players are taking this quite sportingly and answering their critics with their performances which is indeed an exceptional thing. Handling such pressuring and performing is not a cake walk. There are many factors because of which the performances are touching sky high. Every team today has a dedicated team of psychologists and physiologist with them which help the players to concentrate on their job rather than that of their injuries and mental stress. These sessions are quite helpful to raise the bar of their performances. And yes of course the performances of the players are lifted by a large margin since last few years. Hope these performances continue for the players.
