Diwali Mithai Gift

Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is a special festival for all Indians; they celebrate it with a lot of excitement regardless of whether they are in India or residing in some other country. Exchanging gifts is one of the key part of Diwali celebrations. Both corporate gifts and family gifts are exchanged on the occasion of Diwali. Mithai is one thing that will accompany any gift - it's inseparable from Deepavali.

Most of the Diwali Mithais are made of milk product, fruit, dry fruit, sugar, and a variety of colors. One of the popular non-milk mithais is soan papdi and it makes a great gift. While milk products have short lifespan, the soan papdi aka sohan papdi can last much longer. It's also has lesser calories for those who watch their intake. It tastes great and almost everyone likes it.

Other Diwali mithais gifts include barfi, kaju barfi, kaju katli, pista barfi, rasgullas, gulab jamun, rasmalai, jalebi. These mithais can be purchased both from a local store or online store. They can be given as both personal or business gift.

Summer is over. Wow! survived it without an Air Conditioner. Now must be the perfect time to buy an AC in India as the prices will be all time low. Right? Partially.

Moreover, top AC brands like Samsung India and LG India offer special promotions throughout the year. You don't have to rush unless your purchase is well covered under guarantee/warranty. Read more on why you shouldn't buy an AC off season just for saving some money upfront.

The convenience that digital cameras brought have popularized them to a degree that you won't hear too many people talking about film cameras today. It's amazing how the digital technology has made photography just a point and shoot task. Most of the heavy weight work is done by the camera technologies themselves.

Digital cameras are of primarily two types - compact digital camera and the digital SLR (single lens reflex). It's the compact digital cameras that non-professionals can use comfortably. Many compact cameras even support advanced features that bring you close to SLR experience. SLRs give you the flexibility to select a suitable photography lens depending upon your shooting requirements. Digital SLRs used to be a domain of professionals but the reduced prices and the compact design is increasing their reach among intermediate level photographers.

The advanced features like light control, auto-focus, image stabilization, multi-shots, face detection, and smile detection really make photography a lot simpler than it used to be. Even mobile makers are packing high end photography features into mobile handset but camera manufacturers aren't resting either - they are continuously innovating and advancing the imaging technologies.

The major camera brands include Kodak, Canon, Sony, FujiFilm, Pentax, and Panasonic. They all offer a wide of cameras to choose from.

While buying a suitable camera for your needs, one of the most important things to remember is to not get carried away by the printed mega pixels but check its optical zoom and other features as well.
