PDA woes

Phew!!!!! Never knew PDA’s have to be taken such special care.

This in in regards to getting my IMate PDAL serviced for a cost of 3000Re inspite of the device coming under warranty .After repeatedly calling the service centre guys , I found out that there was only one centre in the whole of Bangalore i.e in Jayanagar 4th block.Not only that it’s the only servicing centre in the whole of south region, although it had collection points in the other parts of Southern India.

After about 1.45 minutes of toil in the BMTC buses, I finally reached the destination and reported that my screen alignment wasn’t happening properly. The sales head over there examined the device and showed me all the scratches and spots that the touchscreen had developed due to my negligence.(I never knew one is supposed to use a screen protector for touch screen devicesL). It would cost a cool 3000 bucks as the the no. 2.4 clause showed by him in the warranty sheet stated that the physical damage to the screen doesn’t come under warranty.

After negotiating with him for the cost he only agreed to go by the actual cost by not giving me a bill thus removing the sales tax implied on the cost. I was initially apprehensive of this but then later on inquired with my friends and the other Mobile sales guys to find that it costs 3000 only.

Anyways, I got few good tips from the manager on regards to how PDA’s life can be extended.
1.Use only trusted TPS(Third Party Softwares). Preferably the SPB PDA solutions, as any damage done to device OS by the TPS also do not come under warranty.
2.All Li-Cd ion batteries life starts ticking away once they come out of manufacturing line. They serve a max of 300-500 cycles(one cycle=one complete charge and discharge cycle ).So life of batteries can be increased by not allowing it to completely dischare and a max of 2.5 hrs of daily charging is enough to last them for a year as per normal usage
2. Do not charge the battery with PC USB but use the standard power supply charger, as the battery takes 1800mA of current but the former case

Awakening the company HR policy:The guy on my desktop

Well this blog is about the cute guy on my desktop. I wonder how do employees ever refrain themselves from looking at their monitor ,

Ummm… . a nice way to fool the bosses  by putting up a false show of  being engrossed in your work.

Definitely an eye catching  retreat for the female employees who can simultaneously do some bird watching  as well as work.

Although I am not a die-hard male seeker but I have a taste for the God’s creation ,be it nature or mankind.[Believe me if it was a beautiful nymph in place of him I would have definitely voiced my opinions from the male point of view J]

 

Anyways!!! Thank God , he doesn’t work in my companyJJ.

This seriously calls a revamp of the desktop management system policy

 

 

The Oomph factor has turned 5,and the Unconditional factor.. 23

Following is a small conversation of feelings among the same person.
But the roles played by her are differnet :
Main characters :her parents ,her lifepartner,and ofcourse her
Her dual roles:The parent’s daughter (A)
                      The man’s beloved (B)

THE STORY THAT WAS:Her five yrs have passed in bliss,she being lucky enough to have her first luv as the last one,romancing him,understanding him and the essence of the relationship,facing the upheavels and the side-effects;the pains and the pleasures.
At this stage she was confident that she can spend her whole lifetime with this guy.

THE STORY THAT IS:Time has come to display her secret publicly ,esp to those ppl whose relationship she had taken for granted : her parents .Her parents enlighten her a bout the grave realities and the society views of this intercaste alliance.As the story continues this is a conflict of the emotions displayed:
 

A:How can i forget the beautiful childhood,a responsible education and the character that my parents have imbibed in me?
B:I cannot forget the art of trusting ppl, the value of money and relationships and the lessons of survival in this bad bad world taught by him.

A:How can i give my life-givers a future of disgrace and an embarrasment before  their kith and kin(well A’s parents are very orthodox)
B:How can i destroy the beautiful world that i have carved for him, the sweet family we had dreamt of and lots of love n fun.

A:Will my parents ever forgive me for going against their wishes??
B:Will he ever live happily after my injustice to him and can I face the future with a positive outlook??

A:I can sacrifice my 5 yrs for stability and certainity of future.
B:I cannot think of living a life full of regrets , lost love and a broken heart.

A:Things can very well change after marriage, afterall roses have thorns too
B:I can adjusted with the nuances of life defined by my partner but not with the change of partner altogether.

A:Ill have a whole family support in case of any marital woes, this comes with a guarentee
B:Ill will  rely on me,my instincts and my partner, this comes with faith and trust.

Does she have to care for the unconditional love of her parents who have nurtured her for 23 years  or the promises of the future which they had seen in this 5 years.
How can she trust the certainties on one side and predict the uncertainties on the other
And the battle goes on and on….
