Why do we need a selfie?

The evolution of cameras:

Long before people used to capture memories in their brains. Visited a new place? Jotted down a travel journal. Spotted a pretty girl? Penned down a poem. Something in the society irked the citizens? Articles in newspapers were printed.
However no where there was any evidence of pictures. Then the camera was invented. It was an excellent way to freeze memories/evidences even though in black and white.
Gradually the camera evolved. From bulky machine like structures with separate flash to smaller gadget like equipments. Then the colour film came and it was revolutionary. Now the memories captured seemed more beautiful than real time.

From one film one photo to 36 photos in a single film. And then the ultimate revolution. Digital cameras! There was absolutely no limit to the number of pictures you could click in one go and there was no need to print them! That is when people became obsessed with clicking as it didn't involve any expense apart from buying the camera.
The phone camera too was born sometime during this phase. It was a revolution in itself. One did not have to carry a camera separately. One could take pictures anytime, anywhere. Freezing memories was in the grip of a hand.From poor quality VGA cameras to increasing mega pixels day by day. And then the front camera was born. The result? One longer needed someone else to take one's picture!
The selfie or front camera too has come a long way. From VGA to 3 megapixel to 5 and then now it's even 20! Then selfie cameras also started coming with flashes for that ultimate low light capture.



Why do we take selfies?
We don't have a photographer lurking around all the time!
Life is a collection of memories. We freeze each moment through a selfie.
It's the perfect companion for solo travelling.
For group pictures, it's the best way to snap memories.
The 'group selfie' or groupie became a world wide range after Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper took a selfie with almost all the Oscar award winners after the Academy Awards ceremony!
Now what are the limitations of this extremely independent act?
  • Quality: Usually front cameras have lower megapixels than the conventional back ones. However this problem is being solved with the selfie camera reaching new heights everyday!
  • Wide angle: Have you ever wondered what would happen if we get a wide angle lens in front camera? Of course! Great group selfies or 'groupies' . Imagine that Bradley Cooper moment at every party/gathering. Everyone of our group would get accommodated in the picture without any pushing or shoving or other unnecessary positions. But can it be a reality?


It's time for a new revolution in selfie Experience. Yes...Mobiistar is here! In 2009, this Vietnamese brand was launched with a vision to 'Enjoy More' by bringing uncompromised user experience. The best part? It's super affordable!


So what does it promise so that we can enjoy more?




Wide angle Dual Selfie camera:


Yes! Mobiistar comes with an 120 degree wide angle lens.
So what would be the benefit? Perfect 'Bradley Cooper' moments. More of background while taking solo pictures during travelling. I mean along with the face, there would be a Leaning Tower/Colosseum too! So the next time I am on a beach or trekking a peak, I can squeeze both myself as well as my conquest! Family selfies can also be taken easily...I don't have to squeeze in my daughter with difficulty.


Powerful Long Lasting battery for unlimited fun:
When a phone is multitasking (read camera, compass, book, etc etc) it's bound to get discharged quickly...especially on the go. Mobiistar promises long lasting battery.


Best in segment Snapdragon Processors: Fast phone! No more loading...loading....


It's designed especially for India...co created with Flipkart. How cool is that?


So now we know which phone to grab if we want perfect pictures! Yay to this incredible Vietnamese brand! What are you waiting for? Get yourself ready for 23 May on Flipkart!

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the ci...

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind ...
