Although she is a good tennis player but she remains in news for either her skirts or some of the other reasons. Many people in India consider her as the sexiest face of India.

1> Katrina Kaif:

And the sexiest Indian woman in my views is Katrina Kaif, who was also elected as the Sexiest Asian Women for 2008 by a magazine in UK. Her cute face is liked by most of the people in India. She got the immense popularity by working in the movies like “Welcome”, “Singh is King”, “Namastey London” and few other flickers.

Although there are around thousand more names which can come in this list, though I made this list based on my personal choice along with a few suggestions from my friends. I am eagerly waiting for the comments and feedback from my visitors so that I can even make a good list next time when I sit with the list.

Fall Detection and GPS Tracking Wander Alerts!

Filed under Health, Technology

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

I stay alone in a small room in New Delhi and I always think about that if on some day I fall in my room then who will help me? Consider the scenario in which I am unable to even push the call button of my mobile phone and in that case how will I survive?

This question was hunting me for a long time and I got the solution of this question today. Today I found one website on Medical Alert, which in my views is one kind of unique site. They provide the unique services of Fall Alert, Intruders Alert, and Alert for Senior Citizens.

Senior Citizens can get the help in any panic situation by pushing the panic button, with the click of this panic button, GPS system will trace the position where help is required and medical help will be provided immediately to them.

They provide the GPS Tracking Bracelet to the senior people and with the help of this they can get on the go protection. They also provide the Fall Detection services to the older people, so that they can get the help immediately.

In addition to all these they also provide the Live Personal Reminders to the senior persons. A live person will remind them of events, doctor’s appointments and they will be there to assist them.

This is the best services I have ever seen, and I was wondering if I can be able to get these a few years back then I could have used them for my grand parents.

Publish Your Writing Online!

Filed under Special Feature

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

There was a time when I started learning SEO and then I came to know a few processes about creating links for our website. I came to know that there are two ways of creating links for our website, one is by trading the link and the other one is by doing some kind of work through which people will link to your site automatically.

Trading the link was simple and mostly not liked by search engines. It was either in the form of link exchange or in the form of paid link. The second process which is even liked by search engines too includes the article submissions mainly.

One of my colleagues told me that if you can be able to write some good article then people will automatically publish your article and this way your website will get the automatic and natural link. I was too impressed with the idea. During those day’s I was continuously searching for websites which can publish your writing online, and I prepared a long list of these type of sites.

I was not a good writer so I usually submitted the articles written by some one else, of course with his prior permission and I used his name only for submitting the article. Some time I used to submit business writing too and some time casual writing too.

Those day’s are gone and today I can submit the articles written by me in my own site, so no one is going to reject my articles. So I am a happy person now.

Just today I came to know about Edu Book, which is the same type of site which will allow other people to publish their articles with their own author bio. This way other people can not only publish their own article but they can also rate the articles posted by other authors. So Edu Book is one type of way through which any one can publish the writing written by them. The best part of this website is that it is a blog which is maintained by a group of writers. They give complete credit of the article to the author of that articles, thus every author will get the dedicated author page which will contain the personal information of the author with the bio, website link and picture of the author.

So friends go and publish your own article at Edu Book.

Four Surprising Uses of Mobile Phones!

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

Mobile Phones are slowly-slowly becoming the most important part of our life. Lots of people are not aware that mobile phone can actually become a life saver or an emergency tool for survival in case of some accidental situation. There are a few things that can be done in times of severe need from mobile phone which can be helpful to us.

Here are those four things which you can do from your mobile phone in case of an emergency:

1> Have you locked your keys in side the Car:

In that case you must be thinking what to do? You have an extra pair of key, but that is in your house which is around 45 kilometers away from the place where you are right now. What will you do?

Your mobile phone can become useful at this stage, unless your keys have remote keyless entry; I mean the center lock facility. You can call any one at your home from your cell phone and hold your mobile phone about a foot from your car door. Now tell the person at your home to press the unlock button at their end, but he or she should press the unlock button holding it near the mobile phone on their end.

The magic will happen and your car will unlock. So the motive is that it will save the time and saves some one to reach to you with the keys. Distance is not an object any more.

2> Emergency Number 112:

Are you aware from the emergency number 112? This is a global emergency number which can be useful in case of any urgency. Even if your mobile phone is out of the coverage area then too you can use 112 and guess what, the cell phone will search any available network and connect to the emergency number. Even if your keys are lock, then too pressing 112 will unlock the keys.

3> How to increase the Battery Power without recharging the batteries:

Are you aware from the fact that in case of emergency you can increase the battery strength of your mobile phone without recharging it? It might happen that during any traveling your battery will decrease and you don’t have the charging facility. In that case, you can dial *3370# and your mobile phone will restart. After the restart the mobile phone will have a 50% increase in the battery.

The best thing is that this reserve battery will get charged when you next time recharge your mobile phone.

4> Disable the stolen mobile phone:

Do you know how can you disable any mobile phone in case it got stolen? A 15 digit code which will be in fact the serial number of the mobile phone can disable it from future use after it fell into wrong hands. *#06# is the number through which we can get the serial number of the mobile phone. When your phone gets stolen, you can call your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

Well if every body will do this then of course people will never think to steal any mobile phone, because they will never be able to use it.

So these are the four surprising uses of your mobile phones. I hope you will like them, please do provide us your valuable feedback in the form of comments.

Modern Living Room and Bed Room Furniture’s!

Filed under Lifestyle

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

I have a dream of well furnished flat of my own, which has a luxurious looking Living room and a sweat looking bed room. I am dreaming this from past few years but the increasing cost of houses in Delhi and near by area I am unable to fulfill my dream.

When I think about my dream, I always first think about my dream bed room. It should be occupied with a superb and big Platform Bed. I today found a few good looking beds at modern2modern.com and they were superb.

When I consider about the Living Room then I always think about getting some Modern Leather sectional sofa occupied with a great center table in between. There are so many types of sofa in the world, but in my views leather sofas are much better than others.

Now if I think about the Contemporary furniture in my dream flat then I always think about a good collection of fabric and leather sofa sets with one great dining table and some chairs.

I always want to welcome my relatives in my flat, but only God knows when my dream will come true. I wish a Happy Christmas to all of my visitors and a Happy New Year in advance.

Sports and Concerts Tickets!

Filed under Sports

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

When ever any international cricket match happen in any city of India, it always become hectic to buy tickets to watch the match. Even if there is any sort of concert in any place we never get the chance to get the tickets easily. I always want to see any test match between India and Pakistan by my naked eye, but due to long queue outside the stadium I never tried to get the tickets.

Even I am the biggest fan of Jagjit Singh’s ghazal too, and I have a desire to see his live concert, but I never get the chance to see the live concert just because of the problem with achieving the tickets. I was always thinking whether there should be any company which can arrange the tickets for me to this type of sports and concerts.

Today I reached to one website which actually works in the same way. Ticket Feeder is a company which arranges the Sports Tickets along with the concert one too. They arrange the premium seat for their customers. They virtually provide the largest nationwide database of sports, concert, and theater tickets. They can arrange the tickets of every major sporting event and concert.

After seeing Ticket Feeder I was just wondering if we could have such a nice brand in our own city too. With the help of them at least I could have seen the live concerts of Jagjit Singh.

“In the world’s largest democracy, she is the queen.” Magazine quotes this for Mrs. Sonia Gandhi.

On the other hand Shahrukh Khan has been placed at the 41st position. He is the only one from Bollywood who is there in the list. The magazine has posted a few superb reviews for the King Khan and appraised his acting and secular image.

Team India won the first test against England!

Filed under Sports

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

Team India won the first test against England. When Indian skipper lost the toss and then the top order of Indian team failed in the first inning and India faced a trail of 75 runs in the first inning, no one was thinking that India can even win this match. Not even at the time when England declared their second inning just before tea on Day Four, thus England gave India a mammoth target of 387 in the last inning.

The previous examples of the targets met by Indian Team in the sub continent were not a good symbol in the second inning, and the results of at the tea of Day Four was clearly indicating one option of the England’s victory and second one of a draw, which too was looking so dim in the conditions there at Chennai. It was not at all easy to bat on the breaking pitch on Day Four and Fifth.

Four people Sachin, Yuvraj, Sehwag, and Gambhir rewrite the history today for India and thus the Dhoni brigade made the history of a famous victory against England by chasing the fourth highest total in the test history. The foundation was made by Virender Sehwag on Yesterday. His blistering knock of 83 in just 68 balls was a match winning inning and turned the match towards India.

The match has once again proved the importance of the captaincy of MS Dhoni. This victory is the fourth consecutive victory under his captaincy and thus he has a 100% record so far. The 41st test century of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar was superb and he dedicated his century to the people who lost their life during Mumbai Attack.

The match also provided the much needed platform to Yuvraj Singh to show his strength in Test matches too. He was called to replace Dada and his not out 85 was a good reply to those critics who are blaming him for his inconsistency in tests. After all he too failed in the first inning.

One thing which hurts me is the form of Rahul Dravid. I don’t know what has happened to the best batsman of the Indian team. Once he was known as The Wall and Mr. Reliable but these days his performance is certainly going through some bad patch. I would be happy to see him making some big inning for India. Let’s see what is going to happen with him.
