Online classifieds is an internet market place for sellers and buyers to exchange information based on a particular need. In India, it's a relatively newer concept but picking up at a rapid speed. Classifieds has long time remained the purview of newspapers, radio and television. Thanks to players like Quikr for revolutionizing the online classifieds space in India by eliminating the need to spend money on new paper ads to full fill a requirement. Having said that, majority of Indian consumers are hesitant sharing their information online fearing privacy concerns. With the launch of Quikr Nxt, Quikr has completely transformed the online classifieds space in India yet again. To give you a brief, Quikr Nxt is a new feature by Quikr which enables buyers and sellers to interact over chat screens against phone calls. Here are three reasons, why I prefer chat over phone calls.
No More Annoying Phone Calls
I've used online classifieds several times for the purposes ranging from buying/selling mobile phones, electronic goods, watches, renting homes etc. When the offer is real good, you tend to get a lot of incoming phone calls from sellers. Sometimes it leads up to a point, where few sellers call you repeatedly (Including calls at late nights) despite you turning down their requests. At these situations, you really feel bad for listing your offer in a classified site. Now a chat option in Quikr Nxt, ensures that my mobile number is private and anything I need to convey to a buyer/seller can be done through a chat screen without having to disclose my mobile number.
Saves Lot Of Money
As a bachelor, we frequently change where we stay, because of changes in work places. I've always used Quikr to find a place to rent. The major pain point has been, several of the house owners/brokers do not give proper details of the property like the rent amount, advance amount or even photos of the property. In these instances, you've to call these folks, explain what you want and ask them to communicate the things you wanted over an e-mail. Most of the cases, the calls lead up to a duration of more than 10 minutes and you'll have to speak with at least 15-20 folks before you freeze on a property that fits your needs and not to forget the tens of follow up phone calls to visit the property at the convenience of the owner/broker. From my previous experiences, I'm pretty sure you'll lose close to half a grand making these phone calls. The chat option in Quikr Nxt eliminates all these hassles by saving you a lot of money which is otherwise burnt on making phone calls.
Keeping Track Of Calls
Keeping track of who you called is really a tedious activity especially when you are in need of renting a property. You'll have to call a minimum of 20 folks to understand if the property fits your requirement or not. Sometimes it may even lead up to calling up 50-60 folks to get exactly what you wanted. You generally don't tend to save these numbers and hence it's very likely these numbers will get mixed up with your regular incoming/outgoing calls. Quikr Nxt removes this pain point instantly, by maintaining the chat records.

Tata has recently seen success with the launch of Zest, competing with the likes of Suzuki Desire and Honda Amaze. However considering the number of players in the mid range hatchback segment, with the launch of Tata Bolt, has Tata succeeded again? My answer would be a big 'YES'. Here are my five reasons why.
Engine & Performance
The Bolt is powered by 1193CC Revotron motor (Petrol) just like that of Tata Zest. The motor has gone through extensive reworks to differentiate itself from previous hatchback models from Tata like Indica V1 and Vista. The powerplant of the engine uses the honeywell turbocharger and makes about 5000 rpm. The five speed transmission is sure to give smooth and positive shifts. For the first time in this segment, the Bolt offers 3 driving modes such as Eco, Sport and City. When switched between the modes, the Bolt not only changes the accelerator pedal's sensitivity but also informs the ECU to deliver better fuel economy or more power. I must say the engineers at Tata have done a great job in making the engine drivable while keeping the turbo-level at minimal levels in low rpm range.
Style (Interior)
Anyone who's familiar with Tata cars will definitely be surprised looking at Tata Bolt. There's a vast improvement in Bolt from Tata's previous offerings in the similar segment. As soon as you jump inside the car, the first thing you'll notice is the elegant and stylish dashboard. The design looks absolutely fresh with a java black theme and chrome silver detailing. The switches and knobs has the feel of Euro Design unlike the other cars in this segment which is more of Japanese or Korean designs.
Entertainment
The bolt comes with a powerful 8-speaker Harman Kardon entertainment system with video playback and navigation. The devices comes with a 5 inches resistive touch screen with added features like bluetooth, USB, AUX and SD card connectivity. The performance was stunning. Even when I turned up the volume to the maximum, there was no distortion or clipping. It's one of those rare OEM systems, where it gets better as you go louder. The navigation system deserves a big applause. Owners can download the free MapMyIndia Navi Maps & Harman Smartlink apps in their Android smartphones and then connect it to the Harman Kardon system.
Features (Driving Modes)
The instrument cluster comes with a clean white lighting. The power window switches and the buttons on the central console are illuminated with a super clean back light. The best part is, the brightness of this back light can be adjusted to five different modes too. There's an MID in the middle with a speedometer to the right and a tachometer to the left. Right above the MID, the tata bolt has got options for three different driving modes - City, Sport and Eco. A chime is played to let the user know there's a shift between driving modes.
Design
Parked next to it's competitors in the similar segment, the bolt stands out with a completely mature design. It's contemporary and nearly identical to Zest when seen from the front. For the low beams, the headlamp possesses halogen projectors and it also has a smoked finish. The bonnet has a power bulge in the center. The silhouette is quite similar to vista. The absence of plastic strips or claddings on the side gives Bolt a professional look.

I recently stumbled upon this on-the-go computing product EeeBook X205TA by ASUS. The product ticks so many right boxes in anyone's dream tech/lifestyle product specifications. Let's take a look at few features of the device, to know why EeeBook X205TA is a perfect product for a perfect life.
It's really really light
The weight of ASUS EeeBook X205TA is just under 1 KG and it's amazingly sleek and light, making it a perfect on-the-go computing device. The thickness of the device is just 1.75CM making it one of the super thinnest devices available out there on the market. I spend close to 4 hours traveling in a day. I tend to finish a lot of work related stuffs on the go. The only pain point is that my laptop is too heavy making it little complicated to work. This super sleek device is bound to make my complications simpler by being super light.
Microsoft Office 365 Subscription for a year
The subscription which is otherwise available at close to Rs. 4000 in leading portals like Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal is completely free of cost for a year, when you buy this amazing device.

12 Hours Web Browsing (Or) 13 Hours Music Playing (Or) 11 Hours Video Playing
Any professional in my line of work would tell you the amount of pain you incur, because of the bad battery life of the device. My laptop can hold it for about 2 hours and the smartphone for around 6 hours. The ASUS EeeBook X205TA comes with a battery life providing close to 12 hours of web browsing, which is more than my laptop and smartphone combined. Tell me more, why this wouldn't be a perfect product for any professional.
500 GB ASUS Web Storage and 1 TB Microsoft One Drive Space

Having this option enables to access my secured data at any point of time with internet connectivity, without having to carry a device for storage all the time.
Seamless MultiTasking Experience
Professionals in my line of work open a minimum of 25 tabs at a time, accessing multiple social networks and tools at the same time. With a quad core processor, this device is sure to ensure a smooth multitasking experience.
