Delhi - Winter Trip to Himachal Pradesh - December 2013

By -
15 December, 2013 - Delhi

The Bus dropped us near the “Gurdwara Majnu Tilla” in Delhi at about 8:15 am.

After stretching out legs we decided to head towards “Pahar Ganj”

We hired a rickshaw to “Vidhan Sabha Metro Station” @ INR 20 per person.
After getting our metro tokens, we needed to scan our bags before being able to board the train, Frank was not allowed to enter since he was carrying the wine bottle that was purchased from Manali, so we decided to split up, Vivek Boarded the Metro so that he could reach quickly and has he intended book the hotel room in Pahar Ganj.

Frank and I had spotted a bus stop just outside the metro, we inquired and boarded the 901 bus to NDLS at about 8:50 am. 
We waited for some time but there was no sight of the conductor after the crowd had dispersed, I spotted the conductor glued to his seat (looked like a member of the parliament  J and apparently we were supposed walk to him and get the tickets @ INR 10 per head because he did really care J.  
We reached New Delhi at about 9:14 am.  From here we hired a “Cycle Rickshaw” to Pahar Ganj @ INR 100.

We met Vivek at “Hotel Pearl Plaza” the room cost was INR 500, after relaxing for a while Frank and I decided to explore, Vivek was expecting his friend from Delhi and decided to stay back


We headed towards “Connaught Place” - CP using the “Electric Rickshaw” which cost us just INR 20 per person.  
The ride was moderately comfortable and even though the rickshaw does not have a lot of pickup and overall speed it was indeed a good way to travel short distances.

After breakfast in Mc Donald’s – CP we visited the “Palika Bazar” which is named after the Palika Bazaar of Mumbai. 
Palika Bazaar hosts 380 numbered shops selling a diverse range of items right from electronics to clothing, it also has a reputation for a wide availability of illegal products such as pornography, stolen goods, fake designer products and pirated CDs, software and movies.

After a long walk we decided to relax at the Inner Circle garden, which was apparently filled with a lot of young couples indulging in “PDA” (Public Display of Affection).

 At about 1:00 pm we left CP and headed towards Pahar Ganj by Rickshaw @ INR 25 per head.  Freshened up at “Pearl Plaza” and the three of us boarded an Electric Rickshaw to NDLS railway station @ INR 10 per head.

We were in two minds about Frank being able to enter the platform with the wine that he was carrying, we decided to simply walk in and face the music, luckily even though there was a scanner there was no one manning it and we smoothly entered the station.

We boarded the “Mumbai Rajdhani” @ 4:34 pm and reached Mumbai the next day i.e. 16th December @ 9:00 am.  Ticket cost was INR 1823 per head.

And so our 2013 exploring came to an end and it was a perfect winter vacation!!!

Sony Power Bank CP- F10L Review Battery Pack

Hi, this is a review of the Sony 10,000 mAh Power Bank - model CP-F10L The power bank uses Li- Polymer cells two of them 5000 mAh each, for those who are unaware there are two types of batteries usually used Li-Ion and Li- Ion Polymer also called as Li-polymer.. The later is more energy efficient and light weight but is costlier than Li-ion batteries. The real capacity of this cell is about 67 % i.e. 6700 mAh - this loss is due to factors like "Voltage Conversions", "circuit resistance" and other variable factors. It supports simultaneous charging of two devices with maximum 3.6 Ampere, so each port can easily output more than 1.5 Ampere. If you’re not sure what this means - take a look at your native phone charger , it will have an Ampere rating ... let’s say it says 1.5 Ampere...  So as long as the power bank supports 1.5 A the charge time would almost be the same.... if the power bank can change at an higher ampere that the pho

Error  (4-503): LaunchPad was unable to connect. Please check the network connection or try again later. If the problem persists, please visit https://help.daybreakgames.com  for assistance. This error stated appearing few months back and it’s been a pain to deal with, after researching and scouting various forums I found the below mentioned 3 workarounds, the third one works for me now, earlier the second one used to work, so chances are that one of the three should work for you. (I would recommend the “Solution 3” – watch the Video) Solution 1 ·          Go to game directory, delete or rename launchpad.exe ·          Rename launchpad.exe.bak to launchpad.exe ·          Launch the game, this might slightly longer than usual, this is because it’s downloading the 1 mb launchpad.exe.bak file. Solution 2 ·          Download the FILE ·          Go to the game directory and paste the “npdg0act.dll” file in there. ·          Login into planeside with
