In the rapidly advancing era of technology,  smart home devices  have become a symbol of convenience and efficiency. Taiwanese companies have been at the forefront of this revolution. The country has long been recognized as  tech-first, with a strong commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of society. By embracing innovation and investing in research and development, Taiwanese companies have consistently delivered groundbreaking solutions.

  Managing your finances has always been a task. It is tedious even for a commerce graduate as it needs a lot of traits and nuances. While this is one aspect, when it comes to applying for a personal loan due to some emergency or various needs, it is even more cumbersome. This is mainly because of the presence of various companies/brands out there which try to lure you with various offers and schemes. What one may not realize is how these are misleading in some of the cases where some pointers are given in real small print in the offer document. There is no point in regretting after availing the loan since you may end up paying more than what you have actually budgeted to pay. This is when I stumbled upon PLANET APP . This stands for Personalized Lending & Assisted NETworks. What makes it more appealing is PLANET APP is a part of L&T Finance which is a leading brand in the NBFC space. This is a one-stop shop for all your lending and servicing needs which includes: Con...

 We come across various websites from time to time. As a kid, there were no computers, let alone laptops. During those days, I use to read a lot of books and play games through hand-held games or on TV by connecting the deck with the cartridge. Those were the days when PSP or X-Box was unheard of.  As and when the day progress, we see a shift in technology that has shrunk the world. This has made things that were considered impossible, possible. We do not see handheld video games these days. Due to the cheaper prices for the Internet, the so-called "Internet Cafes" is almost extinct now. To recall, when the internet was first introduced, I use to connect to the internet through a dial-up connection. Then came the direct connection. I am an internet user right from when they were in 2G. Thankfully, we now have 5G. One can even download a movie in no time. As you could see, I have always loved playing games. When I use to wear Video Game watch to school in the 90s, I use to giv...

 Life has become a fast-paced one. We hardly get time(at least during the weekdays) to prepare some good and healthy food or one that could complement it. What we eat may not give us all the nutrients essential for our daily life. This is where the renowned Saffola from Marico comes into the picture. I was browsing casually and was stunned to see that this popular FMCG company has launched so many products which would help us without compromising on taste and quality. I decided to try a few of their products, to start with. We all need to have a quick and tasty breakfast in the morning. I usually prefer bread toast since it is easy to prepare and eat. Hence I ordered peanut butter. Even in this, there are few varieties and I zeroed in on Saffola Fittify Original - Omega 3 - Peanut Butter - Extra Crunchy and Saffola Fittify Tasty - Dark Chocolaty - Peanut Butter - Extra Crunchy flavors. As we all know, peanuts are a rich source of protein. I must admit that it tasted really good. ...
