On the HTC Sensation and Mobile Technology

I bought the HTC Sensation recently, and I could've uploaded this blog post from the phone but doing it from the macbook since it feels like I'm actually writing something. Anyways, onto the HTC Sensation. Lovely phone I must say; its got everything, a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, qHD display, an 8 MP camera and the latest version of HTC's Sense. All these features make this HTC's flagship model, and give me a bigger reason to expect more and more out of the phone.

I was using the Motorola Milestone (Droid) for the past year and fell in love with Android from day one, even though I used 2.2 for barely 2-3 months. The Milestone had a slower processor as compared to the Desire which was available at that time but made up with the presence of a physical keyboard and excellent build quality.

When I decided to go for a new phone, I wanted one which was the best currently available and not make the same mistake that I did with the Milestone. So, the options I had were the HTC Sensation and the Galaxy S2. They both have similar processors and size but the Samsung has a better display. Although, the biggest put-offs for me when it came to Samsung were the boring interface and the build quality. Hundreds of tests can probably prove me wrong with the build quality but I just don't like a phone being so plasticky and toy-like. The HTC impressed me with an all aluminium body and yet feeling much lighter and thinner than the Samsung. Also, the Sense 3.0 UI. Wow! It sealed the deal. So I bought the phone and I couldn't wait to get back home and play around with it.

Random Wake Up

So my brother knocks on my room door and goes, "Wake up!".

I was like, "Sod off man". But with a look to my watch confuses me; it can't be. Its 9:30 pm and he's knocking on my door to wake me up? Then it comes back to me; the "trip" to Mulshi at 4 am! Man what a fantastic early morning drive. I was exhausted outtaf my brains by the time I got back. Amazing!

Note to self: Should do these drives more often.

A Change? No thank you.

There are many definitions of change; many perceptions even. And there are only a certain things that really matter to me when there is a change, lets just say certain people. And I in turn will never change for them, coz thats how its always and thats how I always want it to be. 

But then we grow up, have more responsibilities and then where do my old priorities go? Nowhere. Certain things and certain people  I care about more than myself, and to me thats not wrong. You would disagree with me saying that the most important person for you should be yourself no other. I feel thats being too selfish, even on the long run. But it is that way because those certain have changed me, made me stronger and taught me how to say no! Making me normal..

For me, others may come n go but most stay. And if I don't like anyone I never make it obvious unless its really necessary. There are those who have been with me through everything and so many years but still be careful with talking to me. Those I don't like and with them its best to stay at a good distance over a while. But a certain few stay, stay closer than anyone ever. Even if say she swears at me with all anger and might, I think it be justified since she knows me well, more than myself probably. And I might've gone wrong but I wouldn't even know it. But I would wait; a week, a month, a year even, to know where I went wrong. Is this extreme? No, not for me. Its how I have learnt and become stronger. Those who know me well, know the change.

Did I just define change or confuse myself further?

Its all new..

Over the past month, things have changed. For the better obviously! When new things come into your life you expect life to change drastically or not, I don't know. But I know for sure that my life has changed due to these new things that have come into my life....... Ok, enough of non-sensical bullshit and down to the point!

The New Things:

1) New Cell Phone: Oh, this upgrade has been long awaited. The stupid stupid stupid MotoRAZR V3i was chewing my brains slowly, and well it finally chewed off the part which had the memory of it(the V3i). And I'm glad. Then came in the smart, sleek, powerful, inexpensive Nokia N73! Oh what a relief.. Such a brilliant phone. It is exactly what I needed, not too small, and not too big! And, this one is the N73 Music Edition, which means additional space of 2 GB! I've been longing so badly for a S60 Nokia Smartphone. So.. even though the network of the service which I'm using sucks badly the phone covers up for it! Ahhh... Moving on...

2)New Bike: Well, this was expected to come in sometime but I didn't know it would come so soon! I needed a bike ya.. I look so god damn huge of that Dio! It's a brilliant lil scoterette nonetheless, has got lotsa power, and has served me good without any problem for about 2 years I think.

Ever since it was launched, I had my eye on the Pulsar 220 with the eagerness of buying it and devouring it "oh so nicely"! I loved everything about it. Its big, powerful, got loadsa gadgets and gizmos and looks muuuuuch better than the Karizma! But its released only in a test market, introduced in small batches. This makes me doubt the reliability that Bajaj advertises. So, no, the Pulsar 220 was out of question.

The thing was convincing those people who reside the Master Bedroom in my house. Mon parents. I was exremely happy when Dad brought up the topic of buying me a bike! He said, you buy the......... Hero Honda Splendour! I was like wtf??? Is that anywhere near being sensible?! Puhleez.. The Dio kills the Splendour in everyway.. And WHY am I even talking about it?? So, moving on.. Dad didn't want me to buy the 220 anyways. Too powerful he says. I hadn't given up hope. So, I put up one last session of reasoning with Dad and he came to the new Pulsar 180.

So, I told him that there is a Pulsar 200 also! Just for a couple o thousand bucks extra! Better mileage, better power, better handling. He was impressed and convinced by my presentation skills. So you know what happened next right?

The next day, when I'm in college, he made a few calls and after college me and mom went to Bajaj Pro Biking and book a blue Pulsar 200. And within 3 days, I got the bike. It is sooo beautiful! Amazing power, amazing everything! Can't describe.. Its just the 6th day and I've already completed 305 kms! Its still breaking-in though so I can't really use all its power.. The detailed review will come later.

3) New College: I've been academically inactive for a year and trust me, its absolute torture! I took admission now in Interior Design Diploma in SIT. And I must say, thats the best decision I've made recently! I love it there, love everything about it. The campus, the the faculty, everything.. Its exactly what I wanted.

Ahhh... Life is good!

Stupid Bentleys..

Ah! They look sooo lovely don't they?? Especially when in white! Elegant, huge, spacious and expensive. But they are so damn stubborn! Give loadsa trouble. Basically I'm talking about the Flying Spur(or is it the Continental GT), same shit! Those bloody huge masses ain't fit for our roads! And they are so undependable... Stupid Bentleys.. Here's one broken down on the road towards Mahabi..

I'm alive!

Yes yes.. I haven't died, I haven't been mentally ill and neither has my laptop been taken away! I dunno what to write! Tell me tell me...

The two most essential wierdos in my life...

Thats Bhakti and Aksha! Known these two for like 6-8 years, been through all the bloody ups and downs with em. Its been a real pleasure knowing these and I consider myself damn fortunate. Individual blog entries for these two comin up soon! :-)
