Nokia 6300 / Sony Ericsson K790i

Nokia 6300 [slim yet powerful]

While i talk about Nokia 6300 the first thing comes to my mind is it's compact modern design featuring sophisticated stainless-steel covers, glossy black finish, and rounded edges. It was built to perfection. It looks highly professional. The color shown in the image below is tremendous. The display is rocking. I can find a huge difference in the display while i compare with other mobiles from Nokia. The display is bright and clear even in day light.

Sony Ericsson K 790i [camera on the go]

Sony Ericsson K 790i has a 3.2 MP camera with cybershot. I don't have to say any thing about Sony's audio quality. The built in flash is useful at times when i take photographs at night.
It looks professional and a bit heavy when compared with other phones. It looks more like a digital camera when we look from the back. User Interface on all the sides of the display gives a camera feel. It has a manual lens cover for protection

Trip to Theni

Last week i went for one of my friends House warming ceremony. The house was in a village located around 10 Kms from the heart of Theni. Theni is a place situated 80 Kms from Madurai and it is a beautiful place under the slopes of western ghats. Lodging has been arranged at RadhaKrishna Lodge located less than 1km from Theni on the way to Cumbam from Theni.


We got ready and set for the celebations in the village.We enjoyed the village and came back to the Lodge by 4:00 pm,then we had some rest. when we started to chennai we had dinner in a platform kind of hotel [usually called as night stall]. The night stall is located just in front of the Lodge we stayed. I didn't expect such a response from the guys at the hotel. They were affectionate and served the dinner with kindness. We 4 guys had the dinner there. We had Parotta, idly, dosa and kothu parotta. Parotta with the given gravy was awesome. we ordered for some oneside omblets. It was excellent. Then we ordered for a chicken, i was took aback with the taste of the chicken they gave to us.

As it is a very small hotel the pricing was very less. We had a good heavy dinner at theni and the dinner was really amazing. So if you have a chance to go there don't miss it.Then we returned from Theni to Chennai.
