Windows Phone 8.1 Denim Update

Recently wrote this Post, stating my disappointment on the delay of the Lumia Denim update. Few days after writing this, I finally received the Lumia update on my Nokia Lumia 925! I was very happy indeed! Took few minutes to download the update and around 20 to 30 minutes to install the update!

It has been a week since I got this update on my phone and the following are the features which I have discovered so far and which i have stated to like very much:

Live Folders: The fact that you can group a set of related tiles into one folder and still get live tile updates is just awesome and makes my home screen looks neater!
Mobile Connectivity shortcut in the action center
Cortana: Cortana has been released in India along with this update as an alpha version. Good usability and she gets most of what I tell! :). Love to use this feature. Had to figure out that need to do some tweaks in order to get Cortana start working.

Following changes had to be made (which I found out searching online, of course!)

Regional settings should be India.
Language should be English (India)
Speech settings should be English (UK) - This has to be downloaded on demand and would take a while and once this is done Cortana started to work

There was this beautiful seagull, away from it's heard, hovering around the boat checking out what these noisy people were upto!

Photography - 1

This is sort of a come back post on my blog! It has been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on my blog. In fact I had forgotten my login id and password. Got the email id from one of the mail which I had sent to my other email and later recovered the password! I wanted to write so many things but somehow it never happened! Anyway I would want to make some posts on photography along with other things! So here goes... Wont be writing about my Photography hobby much on this, but I would want to share a pic which I had taken recently. The reason being that it was an experiment or rather I should say my first attempt at Panning photography. Without saying much, let me post the pic! I would let the photo do the talking! Car on the Highway! I used my Canon 550D to take this pic. ISO 800 focal length 50mm exposure time 1/15 sec aperture f/6.7 It was quite an experience, I would share some more pics from the session and would share the experience.

Places to visit from Bangalore - Halebeedu

Bengaluru is a place from which one can plan a lot of short trips and weekend getaways. A lot of trip-worthy places around. I would like to capture and showcase a glimpse of some of these places I visit in the form of short video clips and in the subsequent posts I would write a detailed posts. Halebeedu: Halebeedu temple complex. This 12th century structure has a breathtaking hoysala style architecture, with intricate carvings, mesmerising idols. One loses track of time when they go here and gets lost in the midst of this architecture marvel! Such a rich place this is, yet it feels sad to know that most of the idols are mutilated or destroyed. How can one be so cruel, that they go ahead and try to destroy such a marvellous place? Yet with all the mutilation and onslaught, it is still standing tall, showcasing the great architecture of the 12th century. Halebidu is a around 200 km from Bengaluru, and can easily be a good weekend getaway. If one wants to witness this timeless w...
