Importance of good phone cover and screen guard

 The craze for high end mobile phones is high amongst all of you but how many of us buy really good gear for our most loved possession. I doubt only a few of us. Reason we all want to flaunt our phones to others, especially the brand.

That’s the reason such phones don't have a good life reason, the screen of the phone will be damaged and it loses its sheen.

I have this habit of taking good care of my phone which has yielded me good returns. A recent incident has reaffirmed my faith in my habit.

I bought this phone almost a year ago and the first few things which I did while purchasing the phone was to buy a good phone cover other than the one provided by the company and a good quality tamper proof glass on the phone.

Last week I went to an unknown location on my bike using google maps. I had clamped my phone well on the phone holder installed in my bike. While going to the place it was fine but, on my way back the phone just flung in the air and fell on the road. I thought my phone was gone but to my surprise nothing like that happened because the hardened cover on the phone saved it from damage.

Prima facie I thought the screen would be broken looking at the condition of my outer screen guard. But when I came home  and checked the screen one more time, I was sure that there was no damage to the screen of the mobile but I was still dubious about it .

So, I took it to the same shop where I had put the screen guard last time. Last time when they had put the screen guard, I told them, don’t you feel it is expensive but this time I kept quiet, as my phone’s screen was safeguarded only because of that tough screen guard. I even told them about the incident and asked them to put good quality screen guard only. I don’t find it expensive because I have learned my lesson now.

So, if you also want to safeguard your phone and want to keep it new along with a good user experience. Then I think you should start buying a good phone cover and toughened screen guard for it.

Selfish people on road


We have across reports in newspaper that accident victims were laying on road for long before help reached them. I used to wonder how people could do such things unless I experienced an incident on road very recently. 

I was travelling to office on bike other day, at a traffic junction a bike passed me. The pillion rider of the bike was wearing a laptop bag and it was open. Seems like in hurry he had forgotten to zip the bag. Couple of people would have seen him and his bag but nobody went and told him the same. Don’t know what stopped then from doing so? There was a lady on her scooty who was about to get struck to one of the pouches of the bag, even that didn’t deter her from informing this guy. She went ahead without any fuss.

When traffic moved a bit and I came close to this guy’s bike, I informed him that he has not zipped his bag. To which he politely thanked me and zipped his bag. I was feeling very happy that I helped someone. But their was one thing which was disturbing me, if I can do it, why can’t other? It was very small gesture. There was no money involved in it that people have to think twice about taking an initiative.

This shows how selfish people have become these days, if the same incident would have happened to them and nobody would have bothered to tell them, then they would have lost couple of valuable items from the bag. Post that they would have cribbed about it saying people are selfish these days but they should ask a question to themselves first, aren’t they selfish? A selfish person has no rights to call other person selfish.

Why are drivers impatient on roads?


Accidents on road have become a routine now. Daily we can read about them in newspaper or watch them on news channels but have we ever thought of what is the major cause of accidents? No, because we are busy blaming others for the mishap and move on. I feel main cause of most accidents on road today is because of impatience. Wondering how, here are few in my person experiences on road

Today I was stranded in a busy traffic signal there was hardly any place but the biker behind me was honking.  Does honking create additional space for me or force me to move ahead and bang other vehicle? I don’t know. I got space and moved a bit to give ample space for the biker. He moved in but still he has not overtaken me. We were together on that signal till the signal was cleared. Once the signal was cleared he drove at a very high speed, god save him. Bikers are more to accident because their bikes can skid or can bang other vehicle if they lose control. Because one rides bike on balance and the moment you lose, fall on road.

Taxis and bus driver are the one which we should be cautious while driving car. They drive very rashly and at very high speed, if we are not able to give space to them, they don’t mind banging vehicles. Then have good verbal fight on road. There are many L board vehicles on road but neither bus drivers not taxi drivers pay heed to them. Seems like they have forgotten they were also new to road someday and people supported them. Now just because they have become experts doesn’t mean they can make fun of other.  

Taxi drivers often ramp bikes and car, then plead for mercy which they hardly get. Then things are taken to nearest police station to resolve the issue. Why? Had you driver your vehicle properly with the stipulated speed limit these things wouldn’t have come to you? Because you didn’t bother for others then now others don’t care for you. 

Buses are terror, they change lanes without checking if it may hit other vehicles, they just do it. Buses often ramp cars leading to inconvenience to passengers on board and off board.  Why all these suffering?, follow driving rules and avoid it. But who cares for it. Often we can see buses competing with one another on busy roads.  Why? to get more passenger but in doing so if we harm anyone then who will take responsibility of it? No answer. 

The case with individual car owners is no different they also drive at maximum speed to impress people or joy endangering life of innocent people. We have many examples of “hit and run” cases which became newspaper headlines. Hit and run are the best examples of over speeding. Post-accident the driver of the vechile is left to life long suffering depending upon the punishment awarded to him by the court.

When on road we could care for 

1st Safety of people on road
2nd Safety of our vehicle
3rd Safety of our self (Because we have someone waiting for us at home)

It better to be late than being in hospitals, graveyards, police station or lead a miserable life on bed all throughout, which I don’t think anybody will like. So take wise decisions and reap benefits from it.
