The love of Kit Lens (18-55)

In the current day scenario, photography has become portable and easiest way to express our feelings be it on Facebook or Instagram or Pinterest or Twitter. And a big share of credit for the rise in photography awareness amongst people around the world goes to Smartphones. Smartphones these days have put a camera in hand of every toddler, and in a way, it is good that photography as an occupation and hobby has gained a lot of acclaims. My story of being a photographer as a hobby began in 2010 when I started using my Nokia N-97 mini as my primary camera.

The Sennheiser HD650 review: Hi Res Audio!

This review is written while listening to my FLAC collection of the songs which I have listened to like thousands of times.

The technical specifications  of Sennheiser HD 650s are as follows: Headphone Type: Dynamic, Open, Over the ear Nominal Impedance: 300 ohm Frequency Response: 10-39500 Hz

Pen Review: ASA Royal, Custom Handmade Pen

One fine day we, a group of fountain pen enthusiasts Vaibhav, Tervinder, Rakshit, Sulagno, Pradeep, Prithwijit, Kapil and myself  were engaged in discussions to design a pen. The design was going through numerous iterations and me and a fellow fountain pen lover Sulagno liked one of the design prototypes very much. We approached ASA pens with the design and asked for help to make the design a reality. ASA pens took up the task and also procured the last pieces of a vintage acrylic material to be used to create the pen. Thus the ASA royal was born.

ASA Royal Custom Edition

Uploading for everyone's viewing, a collage of a custom made model from  ASA Pens . This pen is named ASA Royal by me. It is made of a special blue acrylic that was used in the late 80's and 90's when  fountain pens were still used for day to day writing needs. I would do a full fledged review of this gorgeous writing instrument soon.
