Air Deccan - Travelling so easy for beginiers

Hello Readers,
I will discuss about my trip in air deccan, it was a wonderfull experience travelling in aeroplane for the first time. I was so scared as to how to board the plane, but air deccan made it so easy i cant express.

My frightening nightmare started when i booked the Ticket for Air Deccan with my friends credit card. Boooking tickets so easy in "Make my Trip". I was amazed by the internet revolutioun booming nowadays. i made about three clicks and i booked my ticket and then a pdf file was sent to my email id. It was a ticket only thing i have to do was to take a print out of it.

One of my friend told me earlier that booking tickets is air deccan is very risky affair as to the services provided are not up to the mark that to u will end up with some frightful experiences as he told me that sometimes the air deccan flight tumble in the air when air turbelence occer in the atmosphere. He also told me that they drive planes like driving busses and provided u will not get good air hostess and services and u can take up any of the seats.

all his words were untrue he made me scared, my blood level was so high that i was feeling like i will be getting ill after sometime as the blood pressure was more and i was so tensed at that time.

secndly i was even told by one of my friend to reach the airport 3 hours before the scheduled departure for clearance i fell very anoyed as to what i will do within three hours, i will be bored.

By the grace of God i prepared myself for tough situations, ever prepared my mind if i loose my flight, i was even unaware of the airport location and the process for clearance. I took a air survelance of the airport in wikimapia, i get a rough idea. the day before the journey i was excited as well as i was feeling nervousness. i made my mind to fight alone as i was travelling alone. I cant sleep the whole night as i had to wake up at 5 in the morning i had organised alarms everywhere so that i should not miss the special day.

I wake up at 4.00 am on 13th october 2007 and then i boarded a autorickshaw at 5.30am to go to airport he charged me his rates and i gave him rupees 100. He dropped me in gate no A1 but my flight was in gate no A2 when i entered in gate no A1 i saw many people are boarding spice Jet airlines and International airlines. I did not get the way out. then a police officer told me to go to gate A2. But it was so far i travelled by walking and i was even fearing about loosing the flight. But "Ma Durga" listned my voice and with the help of an security guard i tried to find my way. I got the entrance for airdeccan, there was a lady constable who was checking the ID proofs but i was amazed that they were not seriously doing their task, they were too linient in checking.

Then i enter inside and i saw a cue for air deccan passangers, i joined the cue and then i took my boarding pass there was seat number allocated then i went to the cheching gate where my hand bag was checked and every tiny things are checked from my wallet the a stamp was embossed in my boarding pass and we are made to seat in the cafeteria. Announcements are going on for different flights, i wait for ur flight announcement. In the mean time i took my break fast by eating veg paties. Fortunately i made a friend who was also travelling in the same flight, he was also from orissa we chat together then at the end announcement are made for our flight.

Rest to continue later...................

Train Journey woderfull moments

Hey I am sandy, i like travelling places a lot....whenever you will find me free on any leave days u can see me in shopping store, enjoyment parks, freeways, long drives and going fort a long tour. Yes by long tour i remembered the incident when i lost my mobile when i was travelling from Delhi to Rourkela. I have boarded the Utkal Express which has its own tales.

So know you more for travelling alone can be risky affair, i boarded the train from Nizzammudin station and i was alone feeling little bit scary, every thing i alone was supposed to do with my 4 limbs and i proceed further to the compartment. The compartment was filled with 2 family and one old Lady. In a hurry to book my seat i took off my shoes and went to the upper berth. i took off my little clungy things from a bag which was my life line containing my additional keys to evry thing like my house key, luggage key and many more, containing my CD player also and biscuts and cakes and towel and mouth cleaning tools and battries, papers,pens and huge stuff which is forming my hand bag to a "JHOLA".

Alone i went to the bathroom took off my slippers and put back my woodland shoes, with the fear of daccoits. I saw people refreshing like any thing like they are in their home, they have a huge stuff of things than me, they have boxers weared, some innerwear, some came up with sexy outfits, some without outfits to impress. I had only a "banyan" and "underwear" so i cant take it off. i took my belt and wrist watch , fold my sleevs and wear the slipers and went to the washroom without any soap. people are carrying with themselves soaps, detergents, cleaners, creams powders, deo, mug, sun glasses even amy may be something which i have not seen.

I went inside the washroom, saw images which are not still not taken out of mind... u can see all abuses to everyone not even the grands. seeing those images no one can control himself/herself to do some unnecesary acts. Thanks there was no web cam inside, floor was so filthy and dirty u can not seen even india to be growing for more 5 years ahead. I finish off with my activities and came out as quick as a bullet.

It was the Lunch time, i had taken the luch, thanks god i dont have to eat my food in a running train... but i was hungry as i had not taken a proper lunch. People start taking out their Lunch Boxes and i was alone who was not eating. The old lady in my compartment gave me some bananas, i ate them as i belive old peoples and thus the day went to evening, people are busy in ordering snaks, some already brought. I took samosa and i ate alone, i was a pathetic sign inside the train, even i cant offer two children who were just lookin up to my samosas. I ate them quickly and again went up to sleep. At 8.00pm i opened my eyes it was night and everybody are bookin their dinner. this time i also book the dinner and i and the old lady booked the same panner masala. Then i and the old lady aged 50 both were talkin to each other, she was also frm rourkela, we chat a lot then we take out news papers and spread across the seat to let everyone know us. we ate our dinner smartly.

In the train it was a reading time, every one was busy in reading novels, story books and newspapers but i was not at all interested to read, i want to talk to people to busy myself. Then i get hold of a magazine from a person who was looking like a low earning wage worker. He gave me the magazine to read... I go through the pages i found some pictures which are to be censored but i took the plesure and gone through many wild stories.

Rest will be continued......how do you like my writings, many things are still there to be disclosed...i will join u soon till now bye

MOTORAZR MOTOROLA

RAZR ’s sucessor

The RAZR ’s popularity bolstered Motorola for the past two years. Motorola has sold nearly 100 million RAZR phones since its launch. But when Motorola launches its RAZR’s sucessor Moto RAZR 2, it is facing toughest times in its history. Sales of company handsets plunged in the spring, leading to its second straight quarterly loss.

Its stock is trading at a 52-week low. Also Motorola has just ceded its spot as the world’s second-largest phone maker to korean major Samsung Electronics. In India, one of the world’s fastest-growing, Motorola’s archrival Nokia already commands 70 percent of the market while the Motorola’s share is just 10 percent.

Motorola is betting on two phones the RAZR2 and the Q9 smartphone for its revival. As India catches up with the RAZR 2’s fever here’s the preview on RAZR 2. Let’s find out answer for the following questions in this preview - will the RAZR 2 will replicate its predecessor sucess? will it give the necessary revival for the ailing Motorola?

RAZR 2 models:

The RAZR2 family’s three new handsets – V9 (3G HSDPA), V9m (EVDO CDMA) and V8 (GSM). All look identical with the exception of the V9, which is 1.4mm thicker. The major difference between the three models is their capabilities. The V8 is a basic GSM phone with EDGE and 2GB of onboard storage. The V9 supports HSDPA 3G and has video calling and features like “See What I See”. The V9m is similar to the V9, except that it is EVDO.

Design and Build:

The Razr 2 design is more a refresh of the popular thin handset than a revolution, but it wins new points for beauty. The redesigned hinge and the flattened bottom end are eye-catching, and they contribute to the overall sleek and shiny appearance. The obvious differences between the RAZR2 and the original RAZR are the massive external display and the lack of an antenna bulge gives exclusivity for the newer V8. RAZR 2’s glossy steel casing not only looks good but gives the handset a high-quality feel. At the core of RAZR2 is a stainless steel internal frame to provide strength and durability. The huge exterior lens is made with chemically hardened glass to be more scratch resistant.Motorola has tested the cast aluminum hinge in more than 100,000 lab tests to help ensure that every time a customer flips open the device, it will work perfectly.

The display is about 56mm (2.2″) across its diagonal measurement and runs at QVGA (240×320 pixel) resolution. RAZR 2 has twice the resolution of the original RAZR but it’s maximum video resolution is restricted to 176-by-144. RAZR 2 features a very usable 2″ TFT external screen. Moto RAZR 2 has become leaner by 2mm than its predecessor but RAZR 2 has become 6mm longer than the V3. like the RAZR’s the keys on the keypad are flat with the same raised rubber numbers but benefitted from the increased length. The navigation array features the same round four-way toggle with the central OK button. Moto RAZR 2 V8 weigh 117g and its size is just 58cc.
Moto RAZR 2 uses the same BX40 battery which talktime is upto 500minutes. RAZR 2 V8’s standbytime is 280hours

Extensive view on RAZR 2’s exciting features:

* On the front section of the V8 there’s a large colour screen that’s will easily be one of the best external screens in a clamshell phone available in india. Not only can you view text messages when the V8 is shut, you can also control the V8’s music player via touch-sensitive on-screen keys at the bottom of the screen, which vibrate when you tap them.The vibrating touchscreen music keys produce something called haptic feedback,i.e. you feel like you’ve pressed a real button, when all you’ve actually done is tap a flat screen. You can also send pre-programmed messages with the phone closed but only on V8.

* RAZR2 automatically adjusts audio to ensure clear calls even in a noisy environment. Cell-phone companies rarely talk about voice quality,Motorola is the exception. Motorola RAZR 2 features Crystaltalk - Motorola’s new voice technology which pulls voices out through existing background noise.

* Motorola has incorporated Google’s powerful new mobile search experience for its RAZR 2 also with the new completely redesigned User Interface (UI) for RAZR 2 will make your search the contacts easier and faster in the new RAZR 2. This new UI eliminates duplicate entries for the same person while allowing contacts to have multiple numbers. The main menu is customizable, so you are never more than 2-3 clicks away from favorite applications also RAZR2 automatically recognizes what type of message you are sending.The RAZR2 V8’s software is almost exactly the same as that found on the MOTOROKR Z6

* RAZR2 V8 “talks” to consumers by speaking the interactive menu, contact lists, emails and messages aloud — a feature developed for people with visual impairments, but convenient for in-car use or when you are on the go.

* Motorola RAZR 2 has another innovative feature called “See What I See” - A new real-time point-to-point video feature allows another wireless customer to “See What I See” while a voice call is in progress.

* Already RAZR 2 has earn some credits before its worldwide release, Moto RAZR 2 marks the Motorola’s entry to the next generation mobile architechture moto RAZR 2 V8 supports Linux. RAZR 2 gets a new ARM 11 processor1, processing speed is 10 times faster than the original RAZR and with high-speed USB 2.0 it only takes 2-3 seconds to transfer a song. The RAZR2 reported spectacularly high scores on the JBenchmark Java benchmark tests which estimates the phone’s processor speed, to run.

* RAZR 2’s Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 compatibility will help it owners to easily purchase, synchronize and transfer their music library to their RAZR2 in only a few minutes. RAZR2 features stereo Bluetooth wireless technology7 (Bluetooth Stereo Headset allows users to make hands-free phone calls, wirelessly listen to music from a Bluetooth enabled audio device, and wirelessly control the Bluetooth audio device).

RAZR 2’s bad bits:

*The V8 doesn’t have expandable memory but it comes with 512MB of shared memory plus in addition to the 2GB of internal storage.The V9 and V9m have a microSD card slot but it’s crammed behind the battery cover.

*Sadly RAZR 2 features only flashless, 2-megapixel camera which are not so contemporary

*no standard jacks on it. Even the larger mini-USB connector we’ve grown used to, replaced by a new mobile specific micro-USB port. I’m sure RAZR 2 is a yet another phone for you have to get new chargers and new headsets. Existing users have to forget about their Moto RAZR UI before going for the brand new RAZR 2 since things are completely different in the new system

* RAZR 2 V8 has no 3G hence Browsing in your RAZR 2 will be only through the built-in Opera browser which uses the relatively slow EDGE network. But because of the fast processor atleast it will try to sync with your speed.

Colour and the Price:

If you wish a eye catcher then the RAZR 2 is for you. If you are searching for a professional phone then moto RAZR 2 is not your pitstop. The RAZR2 isn’t intended to be an smartphone or an iPhone —rather, it’s supposed to be the midrange, voice- and music-centric phone for everyone. Moto RAZR 2 will be available in maroon and dark blue costume. South Korea was the first to receive the Moto RAZR 2. The RAZR2 V9m was released in South Korea on June 29, 2007 at a price of $630. Moto RAZR V8 is priced $499. As Motorola aggressively cut prices of its prodcuts in emerging markets like india, to boost its market share, RAZR 2 will be priced competetively.
