Dell Vostro Laptop Review

The Dell Vostro 1520 is definitely one of the best laptops available in India currently. The Dell Vostro 1520 has a superb configuration, excellent battery life, superb body and slightly bad exteriors. But if you are willing to let that go by, then the Dell Vostro 1520 is a classy laptop that will serve you for a long long time without giving you any problems whatsoever. We will review the Dell Vostro 1520 that costs Rs. 38,900 INR in India.

The Vostro series of laptops from Dell is a business series of laptops from Dell. This means that most of these laptops are meant to be used in offices where the average usage for any laptop will be 9 hours a day. Compared to the Inspiron and Studio series of laptops - which come under the "Home Laptop" category, the Dell Vostro laptops are definitely much better built. The battery life of these laptops is also higher as compared to the Dell Inspiron and Dell Studio series of laptops. Tests indicate that the battery life of a Dell Vostro 1520 is an eternal 4 hours 50 minutes.

Hi, I am Salim

Suddenly a bus screeched past us.

Me: Driver seems to be in a hurry to go wish the wifey "Happy Valentine"

Rickwala: Yeah, nearing midnight aint it?

Me: Hmmm

Rickwala: So, you married?

Me: No man, I am merrily unmarried

Rickwala: Tell you what, when you get married, make it a love marriage. Nothing like marrying the one you love. I have been married 15 years and I have loved every minute of it.

Me: Hmmm

Rickwala: Know what, when I get home tonite, I will take a wonderful rose to my wife. Will go right now and get one for 5 bucks.

Me: Who sells roses for 5 bucks these days?

Rickwala: They do, to me. If you go there with a torn shirt and driving a rickshaw, I bet they will give you one for 5 bucks only.

Me: Hmmm (Cursing my damn luck for being educated, well dressed and having an IT job)

Rickwala: So, as I say, always marry the one you love. There is nothing like it in life. Trust me, you will live a very happy life.

Me: Hmmming

Rickwala: Here you are at your bus stand. Don't worry, buses for Gandhinagar start from here till 1 in the night. You will find one soon.

Me(Paying the money): Thanks, was nice talking to you Mr....

Rickwala: I am Salim and am happily married to a Miss Pandya.

Backdrop:

The incident happened in Ahmedabad, the place where the worst Godhra rioting happened. Gujarati Hindus do not look favourably at Hindu women marrying Muslim guys. The vice versa rarely happens and under both circumstances the couple are usually shunned by the people. There are reasons for and against the practice. But meeting a Muslim guy, happily married for 15 years to a Hindu woman, living in the Old City of Ahmedabad in Juhapura, which is where most extremists reside, where the residences are ghettoised into Hindu and Muslim quarters is a unique experience for someone like me who has been a keen observer of Hindu - Muslim relations in my country.

Chandrayaan - India's moon mission

India's much famed moon mission - Chandrayaan 1 is finally said to have been over. I have been searching on the internet and trying to find some concrete benefits that we as a nation have gained from this moon mission.

I have seen comments and posts that mention some specific benefits:

1. The information of indigenous minerals present in the moon. Going forward one might go for colonization of moon to extract the minerals.
2. To stay in competition and respected as a nation which has made advancement in the field of science and technology.
3. Relationship between different countries improves through R&D exchange among different countries.
4. We will be able to understand the start of life through moon. It is believed that all the planets and their satellites (natural ones of course) are created at the same time.

5. Its the cheapest mission to the moon.

6. We might be able to help other countries launch their satellites and hence earn revenue.

There might be more, but this is the gist of most of it. Inspite of it being a grand success, the Apollo mission was also much maligned in the American media.

Why did the politicians agree to the Chandrayaan moon mission then? For the simple reason that it costs just 400 crores which is pocket change for our corrupt politicians. looking at the sum I believe even Laluji can send his buffaloes to the moon. He will of course, but only when it is sponsored by the government.

I am proud of the achievement of ISRO and our Indian scientists - after having graduted through a similar education system I can actually empathise much better with them. But, just as I do not believe that we need to spend such a huge part of our GDP for defence, I do not see the need for the moon mission too.

Chandrayaan - the moon mission is finally over though and so is the pocket change that we lost for conducting it. I liked a comment on one of the blogs though which said that we should not be very proud about sending the cheapest mission on the moon as it just emphasizes how badly paid our scientists are. Food for thought.

Adieu....
