My Dying Mobile Battery

The world comes crushing down at crucial junctures in our lives. And sometimes you just feel that when you discover on a shoestring budget to a distant city that your mobile battery is dying out rapidly. You may be surrounded with shops selling mobiles but you do not have cash to spend (and that sometimes seems to be good for we do carried away with the power of wealth at times). But if this is a sudden discovery you may have hope to take control of the situation. You are aware of notorious spurious products if you live in the Asian sub-continent and your culprit could be one such spurious memory card in your phone. You could have changed brand on being cheated by a Toshiba memory card (After having ended up with a rather expensive TV broken down and a laptop that I had to exchange thrice and then thankfully replaced with another brand by the seller and a memory card that lasted not 3 months, I can only say that I am cheated by that brand, the name of which was alone sensational at one stage in life).
 
Yes, you may be cheated by one brand after the next for there are the days when the spending is more on the advertising of the product than on the maintenance of it quality. I had got rid of all my Gif’s a little while ago, based on WhatsApp information that they drain the batteries. However, that did not solve the problem, my mobile was still draining. The next noticeable change was that I could visit my gallery, but the gallery closed when I went into the camera folder. Next, I noticed that I could not take pictures from my camera. It seemed to click the photo and show me a brief snapshot but then that would be gone and no file was saved on the card. I checked the storage and there was enough empty memory space. The only thing left to do was to take a backup and format the card. But whatever, I tried I could not format the extra memory on my phone. That made me remove the card and lo my phone started giving me extended hours of talk time. Is money really worth spending on spurious products that give nothing but distress? Will we ever return to quality of products stay away from advertisements that take away most of our leisure time these days?

Car Key Battery Replacement

If somebody tells you that car key battery replacement would cost you ₹450, and it sounds ridiculous to you, do not let somebody argue against that feeling. A cell for you car key would hardly cost ₹25 - ₹40. All you need to do is buy and replace the old one. However, most people would tend to think that these little devices that interact with your car and keep it safe, are gadgets that you should not meddle with it. Well, give it another thought. If you have a key and it’s duplicate and you need to change both you would end up paying about ₹850 for something that you can manage to do yourself. All these little devices, that do not have screws in them are things you can split open and push them back in place like no harm was ever brought to them. You do not have to be scared of thinking that you would break them. You may break them only if you do not check for orientation on certain bigger devices that may not fit in your palm, but for the smaller ones you can just pull t

Atheism Concepts Change with Geographic Location

1. The educated adopt atheism, due to blind faith in scientific declaration that end up as stupidity due to ignorance of many unconsidered parameters. They now become unanalytic brains, believing that instruments and machines measure everything. 2. The ignorant adopt atheism due his frustration with the false gods that he served. These gods could either be his own version of traditional gods or a god of his own creation. Scientific ideologies is not important to him. He is just escaping blind faith and now for him it is every human knowledge. Both lack or ignore the knowledge of the true higher power, that is the Almighty, and God of all things. Every sinner would misrepresent Jesus. The Bible talks about who God really is.

The Con and the Conch shell

The recent video on WhatsApp of the peculiar behavior of a conch shell, that finds it way to the surface when buried under a sack of rice grains may make some believe that the conch in itself has magical powers. The idea may not be farfetched as it's used as device to please gods in some of the eastern cultures in religious rituals. Some minds may immediately think that the shape of the conch itself may make the rice grains flow underneath the shell and since the flow must happen from the vicinity of the shell itself this would happen along it's surface and ultimately from it's top thus pushing the shell upward. In the west people would use computer graphics and probably fix camera to the conch shell to see the ground reality. Now if all those scientific experiments leave people clueless, the chemical engineers might pitch in to investigate if the shell reacts with the rice to form any gas that fill up the shell from the bottom and makes it rise above the rice in w
