4 Apps That Make My Life Easy

By -
What’s a smartphone without apps? It’s no better than a landline, right! I can’t imagine my smartphone without a few of the apps, which make my life easy and fun. First thing I do every morning is to check these apps. Yes, that’s how I begin my day. These apps are my way to connect with the world on my tiny gadget. I keep myself abreast of all around the globe, communicate and prepare myself for the day using these apps.
Gmail - I work online and to get instant notifications from clients, this app comes in handy. I have enabled push notifications and hence, I never miss a mail. It helps me to be in touch with my work… sometimes also with friends, as I don’t use Facebook app on my phone. So, if anyone wants to ping me on urgent basis, they use gmail. Plus, on android phone, I can download drive, blogspot and calendar, and sync my work and personal life on my mobile.
The Weather App - I am addicted to it. I love checking weather every now and then. Before stepping out of the house, I check this app to make sure - I am wearing proper clothes to shield myself from sun, rain and cold. My addiction is not limited to one city. I check weather of every city which I have ever been to. It makes no sense, but this is my weird stress buster. I love the icons, graphics and background images of The Weather App.
FlipKart Ebooks - Being an avid reader and traveller, I switched from paperbacks to ebooks two years back. I tried Kindle and iBooks, and finally settled on FlipKart Ebook app. I have maintained a library on this app. I read on the go. This app is my best friend. It keeps me entertained, as I don’t like watching TV. It is available offline, which makes it desirable for a person like me, who has not subscribed to any internet data plan.
360 Security Lite App - I downloaded this app after reading a friend’s blog post. Apparently it helped her to clean and improve the battery life of her mobile. ‘Let’s give it a shot,’ I thought. As soon as I opened it, it showed that my mobile performance was far from optimal - it was leaning more towards the slow side of the graph. And showed that I could boost my phone by 65%. Well, that caught my attention. There were 9 apps that were consuming memory and 6 apps were draining the battery. I was not aware that even after closing these apps manually, few features still in the background and drain the battery.
I clicked the icon and my boost hit the optimal level in a few seconds. And my mobile performance increased, and my battery life was improved by close to 2 hours. Wow, that was fast and convenient!

Best part was it guided me to - boost, clean and scan my mobile. It was pretty self explanatory.
Boost - Increases the battery life by closing the apps that are consuming memory and draining battery.


Clean - Helps in removing the junk files. Tap scan and clean; and remove all the junk files on your mobile. Yes, just in two taps you are all set!
Scan - Scan for malware; run the function and under a minute it scans the device and SD card, and makes your mobile virus free.


Later in the day, I deleted SnapChat app. The moment I uninstalled the app, 360 Security Lite showed that my mobile has 4 Kb junk files, which may hamper my memory and battery life. I ran the app and it cleaned my phone. I was not aware of the fact that even after uninstalling an app, it leaves so much mess on the phone. Now, I have saved ‘weekly cleaning’ on this app, to clean and boost my mobile. 360 Security App is the best app to clean your phone, remove all the junk and virus and improve the battery life. It’s a must for android users. If you have one - use this app to make your phone - secure and fast, with better battery life.

    I already use Gmail and Flipkart reader app. As weather in Bombay is nothing to worry about, I pass that. This 360 app sounds good! As of now, I use multiple apps for what it does. I'll try it.

    Thanks for suggesting it!

    I find Amazon more cheaper than Flipkart in books while browsing from India. Don't know about US :)

    I use iPhone and the apps that I use are a little different, though I use Google Drive for sure. Other apps that I use and cannot live without are:
    - Wordpress App (I manage my self-hosted websites)
    - Quora
    - Google Drive
    - Google Adsense
    - Google Sheets (most of my stuff is online on Google sheets. I even watch my stocks get updated automatically on sheets)

    There are other business apps which I use. I guess without my phone I will not be able to even move. And, I think this comment is giving me an idea about writing a post myself!

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

फ़ुर्सत में मिलना मुझसे यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई देखना है तुम्हें एक टक शिकवे करने है तुमसे कई हज़ार जब नाराज़ हुए थे तुम मुझसे और जब छेड़ा था मुझे बीच बाज़ार चवन्नी-अठन्नी सा ढोंग मत करना मान लेना मेरे हर कहे को सुबकियाँ से काम मत चलाना बेहने देना ग़र आँसू बेहे तो  सख़्त होने का दिखावा छोड़ आना नुक्कड़ वाले बनिये की दुकान पे सिद्दत से एक बार बोल देना  कि गलती होती है इंसान से तुम मुझे छोड़ गए उसका तुम्हें कभी अफ़सोस हुआ है क्या मैं नहीं तुमसे पूछूँगी  कि मेरे बाद मेरी तरह किसी को छुआ है क्या  ना मैं इस युग की मीरा हूँ  ना हो तुम मेरे घनश्याम बस इश्क़ है तुमसे बेपन्नह मुझे बाक़ी सब कुछ है मुझमें आम  तुम भी सोचते होगे ना  यह तीली सा इश्क़, ज्वालामुखी कब हुआ यूँ समझ लो तुम्हारे जाने के बाद तुम्हारे ख़याल ने दिन में 100 बार मुझे छुआ अब गणित में तो तुम अव्वल हो हिसाब लगा ही लोगे पर सोच के आना जनाब  पिछले 15 सालों का हिसाब कैसे दोगे  तो आना बस फ़ुरसत में  यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
