The time to redeem wednesday 2 kg sugar coupon was around. When I reached Big bazaar I was disappointed to find it being offered to anyone whose purchase exceeded Rs. 500. Nevertheless the place was crowded. This time compromises had to be made for choices of brand in the given shopping list. The following brands were unavailable. Parle G biscuits Sabeena Powder Harpic Blue Toilet cleaners Tata Salt  So the choice was to shop elsewhere and find the above brands or collect the alternatives that Big Bazaar was offering along with free Sugar 2kg. No 1kg biscuits bought Alternative brand - dont recall name - spouse said it looks like its filled with sand. Harpic rose cleaner which spouse claimed had milder effects on commodes. Saffola salt which was Rs 8 costlier than Tata.  How was your wednesday at Big Bazaar?

Quite a nifty tool. Good for website viewing for sites that are yet to be mobile enabled. I had been struggling with the web browsing experience when I stumbled upon it. I was searching for a good barcode scanning android app on android marketplace because "Barcode scanner" was not scanning the 1D code. It could be a limitation of Samsung Galaxy 5 as the camera is not auto-focus. Have you been able to decode 1D bar codes with Samsung Galaxy 5 ? Please let me know.

How I got it?  I was on Morning walk, saw Vijay Prahallad, shared usual Hi and was almost on Bye when he said "I am sure you would love it" and showed me the accuracy of Cardio Trainer and path traced, calories burned and distance covered.  Searched on Android Market and there it was. What I like? I am hooked , todays is third day and even though I was slightly sick I went out. The music integration. GPS accuracy. First day was poor as I had set it for good and 1s refresh but now changing it to fair and 10s interval has significantly improved. I jog in a cluster of buildings and its amazing to see the path. No user registeration. You get a code and can use it anytime you want to. What I dont like? It looks like it interferes with call. Yesterday I was having a conference call and at about  4:45PM the phone rebooted itself. This is also about the time it sends reminder ...
