Mobile phone with electric shaver.

The projected piece from this good looking mobile phone is an electric shaver!

This mobile phone has all the usual features like touch screen, camera, memory card slot and FM radio.

The electric shaver is the first of its kind attached into a mobile phone.

Please don't ask for after shave lotion and a small bundle of cotton! But it comes with a cleaning brush.

Would like to watch a video clip on how to use this shaver mobile?

Who invented this?

Oh, those Chinese! They are unbelievable!

Some interesting facts about avid travelers.

Ok, here is the answer:

There 872 countries in this world and that include all the islands and island groups. There are more classification but if you say 872 countries, you will be given a price.

Here are two avid travelers who have already visited 815 of 872 countries:

I never saw an ugly face.

“I never saw an ugly face”-who will say this? Every student of cosmetology school in Missouri will say this or everyone who has become a professional beautician after graduating from Regency Beauty Schools located at various places (30 in all) in the U.S.

They will say that positive sentence because of their training in all aspects of turning a face beautiful. In addition, I believe that will be the slogan of Regency Beauty Institute.

The growth of Regency Beauty Schools is phenomenal since they started in the year 2002 with just two schools in Minnesota.

Students of Regency Beauty Institute are trained and taught by some of the top rated beauticians in the world. Moreover, students are frequently deployed at various beauty salons and work under expert faculties.

Bustaurant similar to mobile eateries in Madras.

If our local 'kaiyendi bhavan' (mobile eateries) owners see this Double Decker bus that serves as a mobile food court, then can either of these two actions.

*Sue the Bustaurant owner (http://worldfare.com/) for stealing the business idea from the streets of Madras. (just kidding)

* Convert their van cum kitchen into a bus where people can be seated in stead of asking them to stand on the roads and hold their plates on their hands.

I am only happy that a business idea from Madras is used in America.

First helicopter blades were made of wood!

My husband is very nosy when he travels. Since he hates reading books while on the move, he used to befriend fellow travelers and ask them about their family, work, interests and so on.

A few months before, when we were flying to London, he started interviewing the man who was sitting next to him across the aisle. He learnt that he was an aeronautical engineer and specialized in helicopter repairs.

Wow! My husband was immediately captivated and felt like he was talking to a celebrity. He offered him, our home made snacks. Actually, I thought, he was bribing him to talk more.

He questioned him about modern choppers and how they can be compared with those ancient helicopters that have giant helicopter blades, which only the military people used.

For the first time, I saw my husband using his pocket notebook to take notes. He always relied on his superb memory to store data.

The helicopter man who was once working with Heli Mart, a company that is dealing with helicopter repairs and helicopter service, is now an owner of his md helicopter parts shop in San Francisco.

He paid rich tribute to his former employer that trained him to be a pro. Heli Mart is a fully equipped helicopter service company based in Costa Mesa, California.

Heli Mart is probably the only company that sells quality spares for the high speed MD Helicopter.

When the conversation veered around helicopters interiors, my husband could not believe that choppers have interiors that need decoration. The trite reply from the engineer put off my husband.

The engineer took the cue and started closing his eyes. I bet he could not have slept peacefully.

I overheard their conversation (I could not help) and learnt a few things:

* Helicopters don’t crash like planes. They are much safe.

* Da Vinci might have raised the possibilities of vertical flying with a machine similar to a helicopter

*The very first helicopter was fitted with blades made of wood.

Nike Jordan marries 30 years older sandal.

I doubt very Wang Zhijun has visited Madras in the recent past. Still, he created something new just by mixing the old with the new. (Yes, just like remixing of old Tamil hit songs with current musical fashion).

The picture here should tell you half of the story. The balance story is below:

Wang Zhijun is a designer. He has whipped up an easy to slip on show cum sandal. He has taken the sole of the Air Jordans, and then added on a top piece that works in an open strap design that retains the Nike shoe shape and logo.

I would buy it if it is made available in Nolambur.

Thank you source.

Next Million Dollar Coin.

Like all naïve people who believe that only ancient coins are considered rare coins and are investment worthy, I too missed a valuable investment opportunity.

Take for example, this exquisite 2009 Ultra High Relief Gold Coin. Do you know what this coin is called as by seasoned precious metal investors? It is called as “Next Million Dollar Coin”.

The US Gold Bureau has published a fine article about this beautiful Double Eagle Gold Coin in its website.

The US Gold Bureau gave me new insight in to rare gold coins that might have been minted only last year (2009) but still can be called as rare coins due to limited supply. Through their gold monitor newsletter, timely tips to buy gold coins will be given.

Unfortunately, I could not buy this coin but my relative who is living in San Jose has bought this rare gold coin. What a treasure!
