Electric Cars and Long Travel: Range Anxiety Concerns

As electric cars continue to gain popularity as a sustainable mode of transportation, they are often praised for their environmental benefits and lower operating costs. However, when it comes to long-distance travel, electric cars is not always the most recommended choice. This article explores the reasons why electric cars may not be ideal for long travel, as achieving the manufacturer quoted range often requires driving at optimal speeds, and the travel experience can be impacted by range anxiety. 

Overview:
Electric cars rely on rechargeable batteries for power, which can be charged at home or at public charging stations. As the demand for electric cars continues to grow, many consumers are considering them as an alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars for their daily commuting needs. However, when it comes to long-distance travel, electric cars may not always be the most practical option. 

Range Anxiety

• Range anxiety is a term used to describe the fear or concern that electric car drivers may experience failure or breakdown, when their vehicle's battery charge is low and they are unsure if they will be able to reach their destination or the nearest charging station. This psychological phenomenon can significantly impact the travel experience of electric car drivers, especially during long trips.
• One of the main reasons for range anxiety is the limited range of electric cars compared to traditional gasoline-powered cars. While the range of electric cars has improved over the years, with some models offering over 300 miles of range on a single charge, it is still not on par with the range of traditional cars fueled by gasoline.

Manufacturer Quoted Range

• Electric car manufacturers provide a range estimate for their vehicles, which is the distance the car is expected to travel on a single charge under optimal conditions. However, achieving this quoted range may not always be practical in real-world driving scenarios, especially during long trips.
• To achieve the manufacturer quoted range, electric cars often need to be driven at optimal speeds, avoiding aggressive driving, and minimizing the use of energy-consuming features such as air conditioning and heating. This means that in order to maximize the range of an electric car, drivers may need to compromise on their driving habits and travel at speeds that may not be practical for long-distance travel.
  

Real-World Range

• In reality, the actual range of an electric car can vary greatly depending on various factors such as weather conditions, driving habits, terrain, and payload. For example, extreme temperatures can significantly impact the battery performance of electric cars, reducing their range. Similarly, driving at high speeds or on hilly terrain can also drain the battery faster, resulting in a shorter range.
• During long-distance travel, electric car drivers may encounter challenges in finding charging stations, especially in remote areas where charging infrastructure may be limited. This can further add to range anxiety and impact the real-world range of electric cars during long trips. The need to plan charging stops and the time required for charging can also disrupt the travel experience, making it less convenient and time-consuming compared to traditional cars fueled by gasoline.

Travel Experience

• Range anxiety and the limitations of electric car range can significantly impact the overall travel experience. The fear of running out of battery power and being stranded on the road can cause stress and anxiety for electric car drivers, leading to a less enjoyable trip. The need to constantly monitor battery levels, plan charging stops, and drive at optimal speeds can also be restrictive and affect the flexibility and spontaneity of long travel.
• Furthermore, the limited availability of charging stations, especially in remote areas, can result in longer waiting times at charging stations, further extending the travel time. This can be frustrating and inconvenient for travelers who are used to the convenience and flexibility of traditional gasoline-powered cars.

My View
In conclusion, while electric cars are gaining popularity as a sustainable mode of transportation, they may not always be recommended for long-distance travel due to the limitations of their range and the impact of range anxiety. Achieving the manufacturer quoted range often requires driving at optimal speeds and avoiding energy-consuming features, which may not be practical for long trips. The limited availability of charging stations in remote areas can also add to the challenges of long travel with electric cars. Considering these factors, exploring alternative options such as gasoline cars, rental cars, or public transportation may provide more convenience and flexibility for long-distance travel.

Electric Cars: Challenges for Long-Term Use

In recent times, the electric vehicles have been hyped too much as future automotive, an eco-friendly and sustainable substitute for gas-powered cars. However, for me there few concerns about it, like the performance of electric cars over the long-term, including their resale value and the endurance of the lithium batteries.

• Resale Value of Electric Cars: One of the most significant worries for potential electric car purchasers is the uncertainty surrounding their resale value. Resale value plays major role during car purchase, as most people prefer cars that holds the purchase over longer run and electric car for that matter, doesn’t have any data on holding purchase value in long-term. Additionally, there is a significant difference among electric car models, making it difficult to determine a clear market value like new technology updates over years, degradation of battery life and reduced driving range.
• Longevity of Lithium Batteries: The most significant obstacles while opting for electric cars is the endurance of their lithium batteries over the years. No matter how good the lithium batteries are maintained, they have chemical characteristics of losing charging capacity over time. This can lead to faster battery draining, durability on rough roads and reduced driving range, which can be a significant issue for drivers who rely on their electric cars daily.

As electric cars continue to evolve, the car manufacturers should focus on making it more advanced and efficient in batteries, than making them more appealing to buyers with their pricing or increased range. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out “G R Team Sites”

Lack of Lock and Unlock Folder Option in MAC OS

Despite many unique benefits in latest software update, Mac OS has a notable limitation in terms of its file management capabilities. Specifically, Mac OS does not have built-in option to lock and unlock folders, making it challenging for users to protect their sensitive data from unauthorized or accidental access. In this article, we'll explore the absence of this most sought-after feature in Mac OS and the potential impact of its unavailability.

Importance of Locking and Unlocking Folders
Locking and unlocking folders is a basic file management feature that allows users to protect their sensitive data. By locking a folder, users can restrict access with password or Touch ID authentication to the contents of the folder, preventing unauthorized access to their private information or sensitive files.

Mac OS does not have a built-in option to lock and unlock folders either through password or touch-ID, making it challenging for users to protect their sensitive data. This limitation is especially concerning for users who need to keep their confidential information or files, such as business owners, lawyers, and financial professionals. Additionally, Mac OS does not provide an easy and convenient way to password-protect folders, making it difficult for users to ensure the security of their sensitive data.

My final thoughts
In conclusion, the absence of a built-in option to lock and unlock folders in Mac OS is a notable limitation for users who need to protect their sensitive data. Although alternative solutions are available, such as third-party software or encrypted disk images, the lack of a built-in solution makes it challenging for users to ensure the security of their sensitive data in MAC laptops or desktops. As technology continues to advance, Apple should consider incorporating this most sought-after built-in option to lock and unlock folders in the future Mac OS software updates. The increasing demand for data security and the growing need for a convenient and easy-to-use solution for folder locking and unlocking may push Apple to address this issue in future.

Elon Musk or Tesla would foray into IT services for business and consumers

In recent times, the foray of Elon Musk into social media through Twitter acquisition has opened many doors for Tesla as a company and for Elon Musk for new business opportunities. By stepping into social media platform, Elon Musk would be forced into look out for further opportunities to make inroads on other sectors and following business opportunities might be few of those

• Information Technology (IT) Software solutions for businesses: Amazon has grown bigger by stepping into AWS cloud solutions and offering cloud services to businesses. Similarly, Elon Musk or Tesla would step into offering IT software solutions for businesses and further monetize the solutions by offering it at never-imagines low-cost model.
• Technology solutions for consumers: The other option that Elon Musk or Tesla would foray will be the IT software or Technology solutions for direct-to-consumer market and the services would help them to monetize further with their success of Tesla Car models & affordable charging option.

Even-though the above suggestions might not happen immediately, as the consolidation of IT businesses happens in the North American market, Elon Musk or Tesla would be forced to foray into offering Technology or IT software solutions for businesses and consumer market.

Why waiting for M2 Pro is not worth it

Apple could either have an October event in 2022 or could just have press release about the latest product or software launches, as most considerable announcements are covered in September event and the latest launch could only be minor. However, for most performance-oriented users, the M2 Pro would be their most awaited launch and the probability of its launch is much higher now than ever. For me, the M2 Pro launch would not be as significant as the M1 Pro version and may have following implications.

• M2 Pro performance increase would be negligible: With the launch of M2 version as a successor to M1 version, Apple has made it clear that there would not be considerable increase in performance or new features in every version of the Chipset launch and they would slow down their innovations in future releases. In such decisions, the M2 Pro performance would not be as considerable as M1 Pro and other than slight configuration tweaks, there would not be much drastic improvements.
• Same design and no major unique features: The M1 Pro version were already packed up with lot of new features like Pro-motion display and advanced SSD/Media engine configurations. So, the newer M2 Pro version might not have any drastic configuration updates or hardware changes over the earlier M1 Pro version, as the change in design or new feature might have been tipped in their latest MacOS software launch.

Hope the above predictions are helpful for people who were waiting for the launch of M2 Pro version and looking to buy latest version of M1 pro with exciting deals & offers. For more such articles or latest information, please feel free to check out the “G R Team Sites”

Continued to use my fault AirPods Pro for few reasons

I bought my AirPods Pro during the initial months of launch and Apple has come out with new announcement that due to manufacturing defect, the product manufactured before Oct’20 would be replaced for FREE. Post this announcement, I had suspicious about my AirPods Pro manufacturing defect, but continued to use the product for more than a year for my own reason as detailed below

• COVID Outbreak and transport restrictions: After suspecting that my AirPods Pro has manufacturing defect, I wanted to check the product at Apple store for the same and get FREE replacement. However, when I was about to go the Apple store there was COVID restriction at my location and the stores were completely closed, I had no other option but to postpone my plan.
• Usage scratches & dents in the AirPods Pro stem and case: As I was delaying my visit to the Apple store due to COVID restrictions, there was another notable concern of scratches on the AirPods Pro stem and on the case. I was skeptical about the scratches and dent on the product and was worried whether the claim would be rejected due to product damage while usage.

The above factors delayed my visit to the Apple store, and I continued to use my AirPods pro with the manufacturing defect for more than a year. However, finally I was successful on getting my replacement AirPods pro due to manufacturing defect and to know more about my replacement process, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites”

My 2012 MacBook Pro started to create issues after long time

I have been using 2012 MacBook pro for a long time and I always prefer MacBook devices for their reliability and long-term usability. However, out of no-where I experienced following symptoms in my MacBook pro and was grateful that it was working still now.

• Random shutdown and SMC reset: One fine day, while I was working on my personal project out of nowhere, my MacBook pro shutdown all by itself and it didn’t restart as it usually does in my earlier times when I stress out the RAM with multiple projects. This random shutdown was suspicious, the luck was in my favor, as my MacBook was able to boot again, and I didn’t want to take a chance and performed SMC reset. So, the issue was resolved for the time being and continued my personal project work.
• Power Failure and Cable Change: After SMC reset, my 2012 MacBook pro was working fine for past few weeks and out of nowhere the laptop got shutdown again. But this time laptop was not booting as well, and I was completely scared. After few minutes, I noticed that there was no light in the power cable and diagnosed that the power cable had issues and time has come for replacement. After power cable replacement, the laptop was working fine, and it was not the end.

My MacBook pro has started to show signs of wear out and the problem had increased by each week. To know more about how my MacBook pro was failing, please feel free to check out “G R Team Sites”

Storage partition & limit option availability in OneDrive

OneDrive have become my preferred online cloud storage option and I have started to upload all my important work files to OneDrive. It has been few months since I have started to use OneDrive as my preferred cloud storage option and started to use work files directly from OneDrive folder integration into MAC operating system. However, there are few constraints that I have encountered while I was using OneDrive and following are my concerns. 

• Limit storage in each folder: Since OneDrive provides vast storage option of 1TB for each user in the family, it has become difficult to keep a check on storage that is being used by each folder and should include option to limit storage to certain levels for specific folder, so that the folder can be cleaned up from unwanted files or remove unnecessary backups.

• Storage Partition between system files and Photo’s backup: OneDrive has been primary backup solution for all my needs, including important work files and to back-up all my photos taken on my iPhone. However, there is no option to partition the folder structure within OneDrive to separate the files that is being uploaded into work files and exclude the personal photos getting merged into work file history. 

Microsoft should enable few options or features for the users to have their files better organized into OneDrive and for more such suggestions, feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites” 

iCloud issues: Lack of always on this device option in iCloud

Apple has numerous iCloud features and lot of exclusive in-built option in MacOS, however there was one of the most annoying option for its users. Let me detail the constraints for users using iCloud in Mac operating system

• Files getting removed frequently: While storing the files in iCloud, the files are removed randomly and occasionally without no reason. Later, I figured that the files are removed from iCloud folders to save some storage and no matter how much space available in the hard disk, the files are removed from iCloud folders. 
• Lack of option available to make files available offline: iCloud or Mac Operating system does not have option to enable file available in offline mode and at times, the important files get deleted. There should have been preference option to enable the iCloud files to be available always in the Mac computer and not be deleted for saving storage. 

Hope Apple brings up new update or enhancements to the iCloud preference to make all file available offline and not to be deleted to save storage. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the "G R Team Sites"

Most annoying Spam mails and new features suggestions for Gmail

Recent times for most people across globe, the most annoying part of checking their mails is the spam mails pumped by most unsecured servers and by automated bots. The most concerning part is that the mail service providers have not enforced few restrictions to block spam mails from specific domains and following are my views on introducing new features by mail service providers like Gmail. 

• Option to block all mails from specific domain address: Usually we get repeated mails from specific domain address and only the prefix name changes. Gmail can provide an option for users to block mails from specific domains and all future mails with the repeated content. 
• Option to report domain names and block further mails: Gmail provides basic option to report phishing or spam mails, however those mails are just moved to Junk folder and again new mail is received from same domain name. There should have been option report the domain names as well and post reporting the mail, the domain should be blocked from sending any further mails to mail address. 

Hope Google makes note of above feature requests and introduces these features to all mail users, so they can have hassle free mail experience with limited or no spam mails. For more such articles or information from me, please feel free to check out the articles published in G R Team Sites.

Pointers to be considered while buying Treadmill

As stated in the earlier articles, I have been planning to get treadmill for a long time and finalized to get treadmill through online shopping option. However, the most treadmill products available in online shopping mode was lacking one feature or the other. So, I will further detail about the initial assessment of treadmill and how it evolved. 

• Affordability: My initial filtering of treadmill was with its price and availability. At first, the treadmill starting prices seems to be affordable and was pretending to be within the reach. However, only while digging in furthermore understood that as prices of treadmill goes up the availability of features and the quality of the product increases exponentially. 
• Quality of treadmill: after assessing the initial price list of treadmill, I understood that the quality of the product matters the most and it ensures that the product has longer shelf life with minimal issues. After knowing about the quality of the treadmill, further digging in revealed that with addition of quality comes the new and advanced inbuilt features. The feature list of the treadmill is one of the most intriguing factors while buying and often it causes to drag budget further. 

The finalization of treadmill does not stop with the above factors and continued to drag on further as I progressed. To know further about the deciding factors while buying treadmill, please feel free to check out the articles published in G R Team Sites.

How apple can transform their Smart watch market

I always have preference for smart watch wearables and feel Apple Watch was ahead of competition and has one of the most trusted health tracking features. However, the most disappointing fact about Apple smart watch is its price and affordability. Apple has always maintained its exclusivity and often offer its new features or innovations at premium price; however, Apple can break this tradition and can reach most people by following options. 

• Apple smart band device: Apple can launch smart bands with only basic health tracking features like heart rate monitoring and steps counter. By limiting the features and tracking options, Apple can keep the device within affordable price range and can help reach more people about having smart wearables. 
• Alternative smart wearable solution for non-Apple devices: As Apple Watch wearable has one of the most sought-after features, its exclusivity with only iOS device is a real bummer for most users. As for people like me, I use iOS devices and have Apple ecosystem access, however when I wanted to use Apple Watch to track health condition of my elderly parents it was a real showstopper. As my parents are comfortable using android phones and are hesitant to switch over iOS devices.

Disappointments from Apple’s recent April Event

Apple event on 20th April had mixed feelings for me, as I was expecting few out of the box announcements from Apple and they would surprise everyone with their trademark “one last thing”. However, there was no such announcements from Apple and the event seemed as predicted from tech experts. Here are few out of the box expectations from me. 

• Upcoming redesigned Apple Watch: Apple Watch design has been consistent since launch and there was no major redesign or update on design. I was expecting Apple to show a glimpse of next generation Apple Watch with exclusive features and tempting redesign. 
• Upcoming AirPods 3: the redesigned AirPods have been in rumours for a long time and the leak sites were going a step ahead, by showing glimpses of next version of AirPods. However, for no reason Apple had not made any comment on the same and the most worrying part is that, if at all Apple is going to launch next version of AirPods, there was a huge confusion. Whether the newer version is going to be replacement of AirPods 2 or more advanced version of AirPods Pro. 

With no announcements or updates on above products, we can only hope that Apple addresses or launches next version of the product by September. To know more about such posts, please feel free to check out the blog posts listed on G R Team Sites.

Frustrated with announcement from Google Photos

With Google announcing that all photos uploaded to the photo's app post June, will be accumulated against overall account storage, I have been actively looking out for alternative online cloud storage choice with reliability and affordable pricing plan. Finally, I have zeroed on to Microsoft’s OneDrive as my preferred storage choice and while about to pay for the subscription, I noticed a real bummer against OneDrive. Recently, OneDrive app have decided to stop support for the chrome-cast and now users will not be able to share their photos or videos to big TV through Chrome-cast. It was real shocker to me as I have decided OneDrive as my preferred online storage option to backup all my photos and videos, now I come across the news that the OneDrive app has stopped support for chrome-cast. This news was real shocker, as my priority for choice of OneDrive as my preferred online cloud storage was based on assumption that, it had built-in support for chrome-cast.

Switching from Android to iPhone 11 mobile

I was using my wife’s android phone for past few months and was waiting for launch of affordable version of iPhone from Apple. However, all my plans shattered due to its abnormal price increase and left our charger back and smaller size. With no options left, I had to look out for attractive discounts for iPhone 11 version and trusting steep discounts for festive season, I bought AirPods Pro for its seamless integration with iPhone. After waiting for a long time in a specified shopping site’s portal, there was not much of a discount and I had to check out other online shopping site for offer. Finally, one shopping site had the most attractive pricing and without hesitation I placed the order for payment. Only on payment page I realized that the attractive pricing is applicable only for specific cards and unfortunately, I did not have that card. Post traumatic experience, I reached out to my uncle for the specific card and placed the order for iPhone 11. The experience of shifting to iPhone was another level and to know more please feel free to check out the “G R Team Sites”

Looped again with the same irritating onsite team

I was without work for a long time due to system issues and lockdown restrictions, finally, the issue was resolved, and I was back into my team for work. For the first few days, no new work was assigned to me and my manager was still on the assumption that my laptop still had issues. After some time, I felt low without any work and simply browsing internet videos and finally dropped a note to my manager saying that my laptop issues were resolved, and I can be assigned with new work. I did not know that I will be assigned to work again with the same irritating onsite team lead and complicated offshore delivery lead. Based on the assignment sheet shared by my manager, the work was more complicated than I expected and the first draft to be shared in a week, with the final submission scheduled later by a month. I was completely lost with these notes, as I must work now with these irritating onsite squad that leads for a month and that too while connecting from home.

No support from the manager and additional tasks

With no option but to work on all the tasks assigned by the onsite team, I was expecting at least some support from my manager to stand against them and convey that we will work on the documents once we get finalized requirements from the client. Therefore, I started my work by prioritizing all the task lists shared by the onsite and was looking to address those tasks as early as possible. However, out of nowhere my manager inquired me about the open tasks and believing that my manager will support me in getting it completed, I gave a status update on all tasks. He closed the conversation with just a single acknowledgment and did not bother me with my task list. Within a few minutes, my manager messaged me again with new work out of nowhere and wanted the work to be completed within a short time. Now, I had two tasks in my hand, a task assigned by the onsite team and the additional task was from my manager with irrelevant details. To know more on how I completed both tasks, please feel free to check out the blog posts in "G R Team Sites”.

New long work from my manager

So, after reaching my hometown for a long vacation, I had to connect from home for office work for 2 days and was hoping that I don’t get work while connecting from home. Till forenoon, there was absolute silence in my mailbox and was just hoping that it would be like the same for the next 2 days. Unfortunately, all my hope just vanished away in a second by my manager and he was pinging me for new work out of nowhere. I was completely furious over new work from my manager and didn’t want to respond to those emails. However, after a long delay, I had no other option but to reply his with all the documents that he has requested for. I was hoping that he would acknowledge my work, but he replied to my mail with a long thread detailing additional documents and the earliest update by the end of the day. I was completely furious and wanted to just drop notes stating that I would not be able to get all those documents in a day and would require additional time than anticipated. However, I got an idea of checking those documents in my Company's share point folder, and to my surprise, I found exact requested documents. To know more about what happened next, please feel free to check out the blog posts in “G R Team Sites”

Working tirelessly for the second consecutive day to complete

Based on my discussion with the offshore delivery lead, we have concluded that we will go ahead with whatever storyline we have initially drafted and send the updated document to the on-site team for further review since we do not have any updates for the document, which was sent earlier. Again, the delivery person and I were working hard throughout the day, as both of us have vacation plans coming up and wanted to close this service request as early as possible. However, we were anxious about our thought process, whether the changes we were making were relevant or matching the client detailed requirements. Finally, by close of the day after so much of hard work and tireless discussion, we were able to complete the document. Post completion, I called the offshore delivery lead and was discussing the changes made today and how the entire document was structured, suddenly out of nowhere the delivery lead was checking whether we covered all client requests. I was taken aback by this comment, as we were working tirelessly for the past two days and I was sure about how I have envisioned structure for the client requirements. To know more about our decision, please feel free to checkout “G R Team Sites”

My approach to complete initial version

With no support from my manger and feeble information from my teammates, I was struggling a lot to complete the initial version of the document and to share it with the leadership team for review. With only a few hours left for the completion of the initial version, I have made up my stand and started to consolidate information as much as possible with a defined structure. At one point, it seemed the document had more information than what the client has initially requested, and I ensured all the topics that the leadership team mentioned in the call were addressed in the document. Before document to be shared with the leadership team, I had to review with my manager and as usual, he was suggesting some irrelevant changes that would not make any difference to the document and he was also requesting me to add some new information that was irrelevant to the flow. I had no other option but to implement those suggestions and this time I was acting smart by just copy-pasting the information from the previous document without even changing the content and just adding headline to that information.

Most irritating act from delivery person

After politely declining to send a deck with draft outline and slides by EOD, I closed the conversation and was taking care of other activities pending at my end. However, after close of the day, I got a call from my manager and he was requesting whether I can support the service request over the weekend and it has urgent deliverable to be reviewed by the leadership team. I was completely surprised by the request, because before few hours I was clearly detailing out the reasons to the delivery person not to publish any version, as it would draw too many comments and would divert from client requirements. However, he had called my manager and was requesting his attention for my support over weekend. I was completely furious with these silly outcomes and was conveying to my manager that, I have some personal work to attend and would try to address the request whenever I get some time. He was expecting me to support for the entire weekend, which would be next to impossible for me and I don’t want to waste my time by publishing an unwanted version to leadership team. To know more, please check out posts at “G R Team Sites”

Review with my manager for the deck

In addition, my manager told that he got comment from the offshore delivery lead that the slide deck which I prepared was not coming out, what was actually expect from my team and my manager was suggested to review my work every time when I send out the slides. This was complete slap on my face, and I couldn’t take care of the slides anymore and wanted to know which delivery lead was commenting about the deck. My manager was resistant to reveal which delivery lead gave the comment about my deck, and later on I found out that it was the same delivery lead with whom I was working earlier on irritating opportunity with team full of idiots. I conveyed to my manager that the deck was prepared based upon the call with the offshore delivery person, who was assigned to support me on this opportunity and the topics suggested by him.

Completely unexpected happened in Monday call

Monday morning started and I was again working on this irritating opportunity. I was trying to get as much information as possible from the available sources and simultaneously I was also updating the deck based upon the commands shared by the leaders in the earlier call. In meantime, I was also checking with delivery POC who was assigned from offshore to support me on this opportunity, that what are all the updates that required in today’s call and the information that we need to collate based upon the review. However, the offshore delivery POC was too busy and was requesting me to schedule a call later in the afternoon to review the updates and information that might be required from his end. I politely told him that I would schedule a call, but in meantime I will get the necessary information and the slides as much as possible from my end for the today’s call. With all this information clearly passed on to the offshore delivery POC, the exact opposite thing happened. Learn more about what happened on Monday at G R Team sites.

Discussion and things happening while rating finalization

I was getting even more anxious about my rating, as my teammate who reports to the other manager got his rating and the ratings for entire team was finalized. While I was waiting anxiously for my rating colleague who sits next to my seat also confirmed that rating have been shared to them by their team manager. There was discussion happening around the office that the rating for all employees would be shared earliest by 2 or 3 days. I was anxious about my rating and was looking forward for my rating and comments from my manager. Since, I was given first rating for the previous year and got information that my colleagues from other location was not happy about it and wanted to give first rating to another colleague. However, most of my teammates knew that I was working hard on my deliverables and always exceeded expectations from key owners, and I was also sure that I would not be awarded third rating.

How should I decide about writing these posts?

It’s been long time since I was writing posts for my sites and know very few of my readers would feel disappointed about the continuation or frequent post updates. However, I would like to clarify few things from end as well and how difficult it is for me to write these posts with all my busy work schedule, personal work and family commitments. I will start with family, as it is my first priority and it is like adrenalin to me. I have a very young family with a kid ageing a year and I got married one and half years back. Family stays in native and every week or once in two weeks I would be travelling back to native to spend some quality time. Second constraint while writing these posts is that, I work for an IT giant and most of my weekdays would be completely occupied and would literally have no time to check even the sites. The final constraint is that I run small business at my native and most of leisure time in weekdays will be consumed in that business. I will elaborate more about my constraints for writing posts in one of the upcoming posts. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Appreciation from my manager

Continuation to my pervious post about getting appreciation from the delivery expert with whom I was working on weekends, I was happy about the fact that he has dropped appreciation note to me with my manager and his onsite counterpart. However, till end of the day my manager didn’t even acknowledge my appreciation note and usually for other teammates he drops note to the entire team about the appreciation being received by the team member and note being described by the delivery expert. For my case he didn’t even acknowledge the fact that not only offshore delivery manager appreciated my effort, even onsite delivery manager acknowledged my work and dropped appreciation note to me. But to my surprise at end of the day, my manager replied to both onsite and offshore delivery manager stating “Thanks" about recognizing my work and was happy I was able meet their requirements. In addition to the note to the offshore and onsite managers, my manager even looped in business unit head to the mail and his super manager to the mail thread. This mail was a huge surprise because looping in business unit head happens only once in a while and it happened to me after very long time and he had also forwarded the mail to my entire team about my appreciation.

Submission of opportunity with new delivery expert

Now I have sent the solution deck to this delivery expert, which I had framed based on my understanding of the client requirements and from my previous experience. I was expecting some response from the delivery expert on the next day and I was completely taken aback by her action. I got no update, response or acknowledgement from the delivery expert and was checking mails from the morning for the update. I reached office and was still hoping to get some updates or feedback from the delivery expert and was completely shocked to see no updates from the delivery expert. After few moments I called the delivery expert to check on the update and to review the solution so we could share it with the accounts team for submission. The delivery expert picked the call and was mentioning that she was busy and would revert back within next one hour with updates and all open items would be completed before that end of the day. I didn’t knew all the promises and commitment given by this delivery expert would go in vain and I had to still push to get the updates.

Continuation to iPhone launch review

Follow up to the review of recently concluded iPhone launch event, I was little bit skeptical about the lineup apple has launched this year. The prices for iPhone Xs seem to be too high for a phone and apple being accused of throttling older phones, the current generation phones would be obsolete the very next year. Apple should have handled battery throttling issue differently altogether, as older iPhone users like me felt that the reliability of iPhone has gone for a toss and it's a waste of money to invest on such unworthy phone. Now back to the launch event, it’s unreasonable to price iPhone Xs at higher end and expecting people to buy the phone. As there was one more iPhone launched in this event named “iPhone XR” and few differentiators for this phone would be LCD display and single focus camera. Most reasonable people and user who were on tight budget would definitely opt for iPhone XR as the option made more sense than the other phones because it runs on same A12 bionic processor as other high-end phones.

13. Confusion between iPhone and Android

I own an iPhone 6 and been using it for more than 3+ years, I cannot commit entirely that I have been satisfied with device nor dissatisfied with the device. My phone was eligible for battery replacement and got replaced under Apple’s battery replacement program. Post battery replacement, I didn’t have enough reasons to buy upgraded smartphone, as only issue I had with my phone was the battery and it works like a charm now. However, the most important and complicated issue is all about performance of old phones. I think I can compromise on the performance of the phone as it hardly makes a difference of only about few seconds and again I can wait for few seconds to open the application, rather than spending few thousand on new phone and paying up the EMI’s. At times, I was really been intrigued by my friends and colleagues about affordable Android phones performing lot better. But the only issue I have is all about those affordable android phones was the reliability and longevity. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Another worst day for India’s cricket

Post getting dismissed for a very low score in the rain hit day, I was hopeful of India’s fightback in the bowling department in the 3rd day. But to my disappointment, India’s bowling was again humiliated by the English batsmen. I don’t understand how English batsmen were able to score runs at ease and India’s batsmen looked like they were batting on the dynamite pitch. Most cricket experts and old players convey that England had the best possible conditions and while India were batting, the conditions favored their bowlers. One of the cricket experts whom I follow on twitter even conveyed that if India batted for few more overs without losing wickets, they would have got best possible conditions for their batsmen. I completely agree on the comment or views, as why can’t the Indian batsmen been able to play conscious shots for few overs and keep their concentration on the game. However, whatever may be the suggestion or views about the game, now I am just hoping India’s batsmen put up a good fight and were able to at least save the game by the draw or at any rate make England to bat for the second innings.
