Weekend Traveling with Nokia N96

Posted on November 14, 2008
Nokia N96- Spurring me for Weekend Travel

No, I have not bought a new handset again and that too a Nokia N96 which is priced at Rupees 35,500 or thereabout. I was offered to make use of this cell phone till end of the month by Bloggers‘ Mind. In return I could blog about my experiences!

Now I have been cribbing and cribbing about lack of travel in 2008 and I took this offer of N96 as an excuse to travel this weekend with my younger nephew. Sesha is about to take his grade 8 violin exam so he can’t miss his weekend violin class. And Brat 2 has almost finished his first semester college exams (only one paper remains and he has ample time to prepare for that) so he made it very clear to me that he could come only on this weekend. So this weekend it is and about time too.

First we thought of Agra but ruled it out as they do not let you carry a cell phone inside the Taj Mahal premises. And I would not like to leave such an expensive phone in the custody of the Taj Mahal lockers particularly when it doesn’t belong to me. In fact, I was asking the good lady, Prerna, from the Bloggers‘ Mind about their liability clause this evening when she came to hand over he phone to me! She just laughed it off.
