I wasted a good 8 hours worth of blogging transit time today from Manila all because 1) I didn't have the right converter for my India plug points and 2) my laptop battery drains battery faster than the steam in a cup of coffee....
Agree, issue#1 is because of poor planning - so in the Singapore airport, I decide I am going to buy the WORLD CONVERTER ... which converts any kind of plugpoint to any kind of point... and guess which ones it doesnt support? The India 3 pins. We account for 1/6th of the world population - how can a world coverter not support my laptop power point??? Come on!!!
And now I have another useless converter, in addition to 4 chargers - for my phone, my laptop, my camera and my blackberry...And now, I will still go find another world charger, a world which includes India.
And just today I was just thinking how heavy my laptop was and whether I should get a net book... then I think of all accomapniments that may follow, the trouble of keeping both the laptop and netbook charged and backed up and the inevitable hours of delibaration before every trip - should i take the laptop or the net book or any one at all... I am dizzy
How many gadgets can we handle???
I am drowining...
ps: Just all my chargers took so much of luggage space :( :(

:) can empathise - i find my netbook great for travelling and writing on the go; especially lighter to carry in your backpack if you have a fat camera as well!
Buy a good phone and learn to blog with it :)
Frustrating, time to upgrade to a global friendlier gadget.
@Hema/Cate... haha -definitely time to upgrad and yea may be i shd pick up one netbook... i am still struggling to reduce my lenses down to 1!!
@raghi - hey, yea, i did get a new phonw using which i can blog... may be i shd give it a go
I carry a mini laptop, just enough for me to blog when I am on the move.
You get a good world class converter here in aamchi Mumbai. :-)
Hi Ms. N! 1/6 and using something nobody else uses? That's like miles and pounds... ;))
Blogtrotter Two just left Sardinia 2009, but it couldn’t make it without showing you the incredible Porto Cervo and its yachts... Enjoy, forget the converters and have a great week!
