Bigsmall.in - for unique gifting options

When I was searching for a website to select some unique gifts, to be given to my office colleagues, I stumbled upon

The website captured my attention instantly with the wider selection of gifts. They were not only novel but affordable as well. The best part is these gifts comes neatly packed and you get to track your order as soon as the order is placed.

The site offers gifts specifically for men, women apart from other options like best sellers, originals and for corporates as well. 

What did I order?

I ordered a unique product which is a key chain cum mobile charger. It was cute, sturdy and most importantly functional. When I gifted this, my colleague was really happy. Almost my entire office was intrigued by the design and functionality. My colleague had immediately put up his two wheeler keys on this.




Don’t you agree with me that the key chain looked cute? Charging is easy. It has C Type usb pin for input and output and comes with a charging cable. 

The next one I ordered was a mobile handheld device - MagSafe Camera Grip with Bluetooth shutter. The functionality is very simple. Place your mobile on the vertical or horizontal direction over the magnetic centre part. Your mobile gets attached to it. There is a on/off button. Switch it on. Turn on the Bluetooth on your mobile. The device is paired. That is it. This product again is a sturdy one and is travel friendly. You can carry it easily. This functions with the help of single cell (similar to the ones used in the watches but a bigger size). So don’t check for usb port to charge it. Take a look at the product.





My colleague who is a travel buff loved it and grabbed it immediately. 

I have earmarked few other products on this sure and this includes a miniature Bluetooth gramophone with  rotating disk. It looks really cute. There are lots and lots of products to choose from. Since I might ended up emptying my wallet, I resisted my temptation and had closed the site. But like I had mentioned, if I get any occasion be it Birthday, Wedding, Promotion or anything else, you know where I would head to. 

They offer multiple payment options like debit cards, credit cards, upi and even cash on delivery.

Check the sure today to see what you would like to grab.

Festive Gifting made easy with Zoomin





When it is a festive season, we all would be confused as to what to gift to our near and dears. I was no exception. With the upcoming Dussehra and Diwali, I was scouting for some options which is when I stumbled across Zoomin

I wanted to give a gift which is unique to my Son who is going to be 5 next year. This site which is famous for its photo cards, picture calendar, photo prints among others also had other gifting options specially for kids. I quickly browsed and found they had something unique. Snack Box and Water Bottle with name embossed on it. I did not think twice to place the order. Order arrived in no time and do I need to say my son as surprised and delighted?



Let me talk about the products.

To start with, I loved the quality of the products - be it snack box or water bottle. They are so sturdy and would last for long. The quality of the print on the bottle & snack box were superior. 

Snack Box could hold more than just smacks as you could see on the pic above. I would say this is good enough even to pack a decent lunch for a 4 to 5 year old. It has locks on 4 sides which means it gives a good lock preventing air from outside entering into it or arrest leakage.

Water bottle is an insulated one which means it could hold the heat for sometime. Hence it is good to send luke warm water to the kids since the heat will be retained giving a better health for your kids. The mouth can be opened with a flip which isn’t difficult for the kids to use. 

These can be packed easily on your kid’s bag. They also have some discounts running rio time to time which when utilised gives a perfect value for your money. 

Most of the merchandise listed on the site are irresistible and can be purchased through various payment options like Debit, Credit Cards, Online Banking, UPI and even Cash on Delivery.

For Diwali, they have 25% discount offer. Use Code - HAPPY25 and get 25% off on purchase of ₹1,000 and above. You can shop for other occasions too.

Download the app on Google Playstore or App Store on iOS which enables easy tracking of your order.

Zoomin also has Stationery and other gifting options. What are you waiting for?

 

Book Review - Peaceful Wellness : A Layman’s Journey



Book Title - Peaceful Wellness : A Layman’s Journey (Pathway to Self Care & Happiness)

Author - Shibu Nair

Publication - Walnut Publications

ISBN - 978-936926290-8


Shibu Nair has written few books in the past. I have had the privilege to read them all and review it on my blog. When I got this book, I couldn’t contain my excitement since I knew I could expect something different for sure. 

The book is divided into 7 chapters with 138 pages, This talks about Health, Peace, Wellness, Travel - all in our language that is in layman’s terms. 

This implies anyone who reads could relate it to themselves because this is a common scenario in most of our lives. For instance many of us would have eaten at will and wish when we were at home not considering about calories or anything for that matter. We also made it a point to have dinner together and before 7pm, most of the times. This brought our sense of togetherness and we use to feel light. 

How a lab assistant replied “My blessings outweigh my sorrows” sends a string message. A simple gesture which leads to uplifting environment filled with smiling faces. We have the power to uplift those around us simply by acknowledging their efforts. 

By choosing to forgive, especially within family relationships where disagreements may arise, we foster empathy and understanding. These are power words. The importance of engaging, communicating openly and spending quality time together is emphasised in the book which again is a universal truth which we take it for granted.

I’m sure when you read this book, you will relate it to your life and that of others and can overcome obstacles which otherwise would have been an hindrance.

[Press Release] Redis bets on India’s AI momentum as Rowan Trollope, CEO announces Recent Acquisition of Decodable





 Redis bets on India’s AI momentum as Rowan Trollope, CEO announces Recent Acquisition of Decodable


  1. Redis unveils LangCache for advancing AI innovation for enterprises and startups, tocut LLM costs up to 70%
  2. Highlights the company’s AI strategy including LangCache Public Preview, new agent integrations


INDIA, BANGALORE — September 17 , 2025 — Redis, the world’s fastest data platform, today announced a major expansion of its AI strategy at Redis Released 2025. During his maiden visit to India as CEO of Redis, Rowan Trollope highlighted the company’s AI strategy, and announced new tools and capabilities for the company’s platform, as well as the strategic acquisition of Decodable, while underscoring India’s growing role in Redis’ global innovation roadmap. He emphasised India’s AI-led innovation and its role as a hub for engineering talent, enterprise adoption, and customer growth.


While addressing the media, Redis CEO Rowan Trollope announced the acquisition ofreal-time data platform Decodable, the public preview of Redis’ new LangCache service, and several other improvements to Redis for AI that make it easier for developers to build agents with reliable, persistent memory. Together, these moves accelerate Redis’ evolution from the fastest in-memory data store to an essential infrastructure layer for AI, delivering the context and memory that intelligent agents depend on.


“As AI enters its next phase, the challenge isn’t proving what language models can do; it’s giving them the context and memory to act with relevance and reliability,” said Rowan Trollope, CEO of Redis. “As technology becomes ever more reliant on LLMs, the strategic investment we made in Decodable’s platform will make it easier for developers to build and expand data pipelines and convert that data into context within Redis, so it’s fast and always available in the right place at the right time.”


“India is not only a fast-growing market for Redis, it is also helping to shape the future of AI. With one of the world’s largest startup ecosystems, and millions of developers building intelligent applications, India represents the kind of scale, ambition, and innovation where Redis thrives. As enterprises and startups here embrace AI at unprecedented speed, our focus is on giving them the context, memory, and real-time infrastructure their systems need to be more capable, responsive, and reliable,” Trollope further added.


Redis also announced the public preview of LangCache, a fully-managed semantic caching service which cuts the latency and token usage for LLM-dependent applications by as much as 70%, and announced several updates to its AI infrastructure tools, including hybrid search enhancements, integrations with agent frameworks for AutoGen and Cognee. For India’s third largest startup ecosystem and the fastest-growing developer community with over 17 million developers, where cost optimization and scalability are crucial, LangCache helps build more affordable AI-powered experiences for chatbots, agents, and enterprise applications.


LangCache public preview

LangCache is Redis’ fully-managed semantic caching solution that stores and retrieves semantically similar calls to LLMs for chatbots and agents, saving roundtrip latency and drastically cutting token usage.


The performance and cost improvements are substantial:

  1. Up to 70% reduction in LLM API costs, especially in high-traffic applications
  2. 15x faster response times for cache hits compared to live LLM inference
  3. Improved end-user experience with lower latency and more consistent outputs


LangCache is in public preview today.


New agent integrations and agent memory

It’s now easier to use Redis with existing AI frameworks and tools. Our ecosystem integrations let developers store their data the way they want, without needing to write custom code. New integrations with AutoGen, Cognee, plus new enhancements with LangGraph expand how developers can use Redis’ scalable, persistent memory layer for agents and chatbots.


Build with:

  1. AutoGen as a framework while getting the fast-data memory layer of Redis and build with existing templates
  2. Cognee to simplify memory management with built-in summarization, planning, and reasoning using Redis as your backbone
  3. LangGraph with new enhancements to improve your persistent memory and make your AI agents more reliable
