Hush Puppies, Rain, Repellent, Shoe, Stain

hush puppies rain and stain repellent Sometimes you see a product and become excited thinking that you have found the Lamp of Aladdin. And when you bring it home and see it’s not doing what it’s supposed to do, you feel very stupid and regret for buying that.

I’m feeling the same after buying this useless Hush Puppies Rain and Stain Repellent. I paid like ৳1000 (approximately US$12) to buy this and when I tried to remove stain from my soes, nothing happend!

I think even water would clean things better. Right now I am feeling like a loser. I request the readers of this blog to use lemon water or something to remove stain from your shows.

This is a DO NOT BUY!

Apple just released OS X Yosemite with a big list of new feature set. One of them is the integration with iPhone. On Yosemite, you can take/make calls from your Mac.using an iPhone. You can answer a call or dial a number when your iPhone is far away from workstation. But what about Android, Windows Phone or any other platform phones?

But there is an excellent way to use Apple workstation for make/take phone calls or use as a handsfree speakerphone.

Connect is a $1.99 application and available on Mac App Store, does the magic. Connect works with all Bluetooth enabled modern smartphones including Android, BlackBerry and Windows phones. For making calls, you can either dial a number directly or dial someone from your address book.

Symphony ZII an expert review

Android, Mobile, Phone, review, Symphony

Few days back my friend Fida Mehran wrote this review on Symphony ZII phone on Android User Group – Bangladesh. For greater audience reach, I’m sharing the review here:

Chinese phones and your requirements

They say, you should never judge a book by its cover. They also say, run a Chinese product for a few months and then you’ll know how good it is.

It’s really true about Chinese products. You really HAVE to be sure. Well, I guess the Chinese non brand market is really coming at par with the brand producing plants, because the phones like Micromax, Xolo, Symphony, Walton are getting better and better every day.

You can’t have all the good things in one product, not even in the much hyped Galaxy S4 or the HTC One or the iPhone 5 or Nokia Lumia 920. Every product has its shortcomings. So what matters, when you think of what you expect from a phone?

Well, for one thing, you definitely want a good battery life, considering the fact that phones these days are resource hungry. You want a good camera, because, you have high chances of running into photo opportunities on the go. Where is your camera when you need it? It’s right there in your pocket. Mobile cameras used to be something that can take photos where you can barely make out that there is something or someone resembling a human being standing in front of the camera when you are shooting. Now, mobile cameras have become something that can easily beat a regular point and shoot camera. But, here, too, the megapixel race like the regular cameras have come into play and often high megapixel doesn’t mean good photo quality. Low light sensitivity still is not up to the mark in mobile cameras.

Chinese re-branded phones in the world and Bangladesh

Ok, let’s get back to the point. People put reviews on high end mobiles on the net all the time. I’m writing on Chinese phones from Symphony. What is Symphony? Ever heard of it? You may have, if you are a Bangladeshi. You may not have, if you are not. So, what does Symphony do? They are like some lesser known mobile handset companies like Micromax, Blu, Xolo, Spice, Karbonn, Celkon, verykool….. and countless other names you may find in GSMArena (ww.gsmarena.com), one of the trusted sites to check phone specs.

What all these handset companies do, is they bring their phones out of cheap Chinese factories that can afford to give high specification phones for very less. The phones these days can give you Quad Core processors with 1.5 GHz+ speed [Chinese brand processors], 1 GB + RAM and high capacity internal memory of as high as 16 GB (as of July 2013). We don’t know what they are going to bring in the coming days, but they are getting bolder and bolder. So, the names I mentioned above just make their phones and imprint their names on the phones and import them from China. Hence, most of the mobiles look similar. A great number of these phones are rebranding done on a certain less known Chinese brand, Gionee. But in fact, they are not the exact copies of the Gionee phones. Phone companies modify the stuff under the hood according to their budget and requirements. The Chinese factories are more than happy to comply.

In Bangladesh, we have a number of less known companies that are bringing these Chinese phones branded in their name. But the two companies that made most names are Symphony and Walton. I, myself has been a Symphony user for a few months in the past, but there are a lot of Walton fans out there as well.

My review

I actually started this review on the Symphony Xplorer W125, which I used for something like 3 months, before I fell for a new model, the Symphony Xplorer ZII (Zed two). It was not like the W125 was giving bad service or anything. Actually it was a superb phone. But the new model was too irresistible. Continue reading »

অর্ণব, গান, বাংলা, মনপুর, সিনেমা

বাংলা সিনেমার গান ভালো হয়। আব্বার আমলের সিনেমার গানগুলি খুবই ভালো ছিলো, যেটা ওরা সবসময় শুনতো। আমাদের সময় বাংলা সিনেমার গান ভালো হবে এটা ভাবলেই গায়ের লোম খাড়া হয়ে যায়। যে দেশের সিনেমারই কোনো জাত নাই তার আবার গান। তবে গত ৩/৪ বছর ধরে এই ধারা পরিবর্তন হচ্ছে। আমরা এখন দেখার মতন অনেক ভালো সিনেমা উপহার পাচ্ছি, যেটা সত্যই ভাগ্যের ব্যাপার।

সেদিন এনটিভিতে দেখি “মনপুরা” নামের একটি সিনেমার গানের বিজ্ঞাপণ দেখাচ্ছে। ঐ বিজ্ঞাপণের আবহ সঙ্গীত শুনেই মনে হচ্ছিলো কোনো একটা ঘটনা আছে, এটা আর দশটা সিনেমার মতন না। আর সাথে সাথে পর্দায় ভেসে উঠে “সঙ্গীত: অর্ণব।” ব্যাস, আর কে পায়। এই সুযোগ তো ছাড়া যাবে না।

তখন থেকেই মনে মনে এলবামটা কিনবো কিনবো করছি কিন্তু সময় করে উঠতে পারছিলাম না। গতকালকে আবার এফএম-এ একটা গান শোনালো। আর তো সহ্য হয়না। আজকে গিয়ে কিনে আনলাম।

সত্যি বলছি, অদ্ভুত করেছে গানগুলি। বাংলাদেশের গান, বাংলার গান। এগুলি আমাদের গান। ভারতের এ.আর. রহমানের থেকেও ভালো সঙ্গীত আমাদের দেশে হয়।

আপনাদের জন্য এলবামের ৮টি ট্র্যাক শোনার ব্যবস্থা করে দিলাম। নিচে থেকে গানগুলি শুনতে পারবেন।


১. নিধুয়া পাথারে – ফজলুর রহমান বাবু


http://omi.net.bd/files/media/Monpura/02_-_Jao_Pakhi_Bolo_Tare_1.mp3
২. যাও পাখি বলো তারে ১ – চন্দনা মজুমদার ও কৃষ্ণকলি


৩. সোনার ময়না – অর্ণব


৪. নিধুয়া পাথারে ২ – চঞ্চল ও কৃষ্ণকলি


৫. সোনাই হায় হায় রে – ফজলুর রহমান বাবু


৬. যাও পাখি বলো তারে ২ – কৃষ্ণকলি


৭. নিধুয়া পাথারে ৩ – ফজলুর রহমান বাবু


৮. আগে যদি – মমতাজ


৯. প্যাশন অফ মনপুরা – মনপুরা আবহ সঙ্গীত

গানগুলি ভালো লাগলে একটা এলবাম কেনার জন্য অনুরোধ করছি। সঙ্গীতকে শ্রদ্ধা করি দেখে আমি কোনো ডাউনলোডের লিঙ্ক দিলামনা এবং আশাকরি আমার কাছে কেউ লিঙ্কের জন্য আব্দার করবেন না।
