JBL Flip II Speakers -

 The JBL Flip II Speaker (Black Edition) is a portable Bluetooth enabled speaker. It can be bought in stores or online. The FLip II is slightly smaller in size compared to others in its class. Even though it is smaller, the music output in terms of volume and bass is amazing.

Music can be played on the speaker by either connecting your phone via Bluetooth or by using and AUX Cable which can be bought for about Rs. 150/- online. It is quite easy to pair your phone via Bluetooth. The range of the speaker isn't great and this is the only slight disadvantage. Like stated before, music quality is great be it outdoors or indoors. Though I have not played music using the AUX Cable, I think that there shouldn't be any problem.

The battery life is just above average. JBL's website claims that the speaker will run for about 4 - 5 hours. This is not true. While connecting and playing via Bluetooth, it lasted for about 3 - 3.5 hours only. 3 hours is not bad though. A good thing is that, music can be played even when the speakers are charging. Overall, I don't think that the battery life is very low and this 'con' is worth overlooking unless you are keen on buying speakers only for its long battery life.

The buttons on the speakers are easy to use. Calls can be taken by clicking the answer button. Volume can be increased and decreased, Bluetooth can be switched on/ off easily to save battery. Also, the speaker can be easily powered on/ off. The only disadvantage is that the music can't be changed by pressing buttons on the spekaer.

The speakers cost Rs. 5490/- on Amazon and Flipkart. It is very well priced for its features which is great. For users who do not want to spend too much money on speakers, but at the same time want a well reputed brand with great quality, this is a good speaker.

Conclusion:
Pros:
  • Small and highly portable speaker with good music quality.
  • Bluetooth and AUX Cable enabled.
  •  Easy and hassle free to pair with bluetooth.
  • Calls can be taken.
  • User friendly buttons.
  • Affordable, high quality speakers.
 Cons:
  • Low range connectivity. (Can be overlooked)
  • Battery life is only above average. (Can be overlooked). 
  • Music can't be changed on the speakers. (Can be overlooked). 
Final Conclusion:
These speakers are worth buying since they have only a few minor cons which can be overlooked if the customer is not very picky with those specifics. Overall, I rate the speakers 4/5.

The Great Omani Coastal Route

Route 15 : Muscat-Nizwa The parents, seemingly forever, had been planning a trip to Oman. Why Oman? Well, that’s a question I asked myself too. My dad, in the 90s, spent close to a decade in the UAE but barring a work trip, had never visited Oman. Fast forward to the 21 st   century, countless Oman Air flights from India to Europe later, he found himself stranded in Muscat. A ‘technical difficulty’ they said. He visited the Sultan Qaboos Mosque but didn’t get to see much more – it was only a 24-hour layover. However, the constant propaganda he was subjected to via the in-flight entertainment, and the cabin crew he made conversation with, convinced him that the country has a lot to offer. A friend from the UAE, who spoke highly of Oman, apparently also played a role.     The parents had their mind set on Oman. The stars aligned and clubbing together a bunch of bank holidays in India, they decided on visiting in April. Unfortunately, or fortunately (the jury is still out), ...

Visiting the Kasturinagar (KA-03) RTO - a tumultuous but manageable experience to get a Learner's/ Driver's License without an agent/ driving school

Ask anyone, and I can guarantee that they will have a story (and in most cases, many stories) about their trip, or rather, numerous trips to the RTO for something as simple as getting a Learner's License (LL) or a Driver's License (DL). In this blog, I hope to make your life a tad bit easier by guiding you through the entire process, which may seem easy at first but is full of (overcome able) challenges if you know what you are doing. I turned 18 in January this year, and besides cutting a cake, I worked on my LL application online. I challenged myself to complete the entire LL to DL process by myself and without the help of an agent or a driving school, unlike what the majority do. The lengthy application process and multiple visits to the RTO, impressed upon me why most people decided to pay a little extra to get an agent to do it for them. Still, I was determined not to pay a single rupee more than the official cost. I succeeded.  Do note that this answer is concerning the K...
