[Redmi Note 4] Contacts and Dialer Hangs up Frequently [Resolved]

Recently my Redmi Note 4 got upgraded to MIUI Global 9.2 | Stable 9.2.2.0 (NCFMIEK) automatically via the home WiFi, and after the upgrade I found the Contacts and Calling apps are behaving weirdly. They are hanging while I want to make calls. And this is pathetic because phones are meant for making calls primarily.

Defunc. Telecom Blogs & Websites

Agartala (Tripura) : Food Life

Ujjayanta Palace (উজ্জ্বয়ন্ত প্রাসাদ), Agartala, Tripura

In the end of January 2018, we had a trip to Tripura, specifically its capital Agartala to attend one of our college senior's wedding. 

Apart from visiting the a few tourist spots, I being a foodie just had walks across the city of Agartala. Agartala is a small city, and there are few food joints which can be explored in few sessions if you have partners. 

Lunch on the Day 2 of our trip was planned by us and it was to visit New Ashoka Hotel for their tribal cuisines. If you are already being hit by Kolkata's food places you would find the menu similar to that of Santa's Fantasia. Anyway here it's cheap and I found that tastier. 

We had bamboo biriyani - flavor and smell is just awesome. You might understand that due to bamboo juice infused into the rice and mutton the flavor is bit less salty. However adding salt will be a mistake, as it would kill the actual taste and aroma of it.

Old Calcutta Walk - Connecting Synagogues, Zoroastrian Fire Temple, Churches and Buddhist Temple

If you are a early riser, take your breakfast at Tiretta Bazaar. Though the Tiretta's Chinese breakfast is one of the most popular breakfast stop in Kolkata with good footfall from foreigners, the quality is falling. But hot breakfast with chinese momos will definitely make you to explore the old Calcutta.

Dated 23rd December, 2017, in this tour we had visited temples, churches, synagogues, Buddhist Temples, Parsi fire temples .... the rich multicultural Calcutta is waiting for you! 

This post was a kind of immature writing, and I don't consider this post as very good reading also. However that was like in 2017, I thought that it would be a good effort to write down my experience while walking across the city. A detail post was made on Zakaria & Surrounding heritage site based on my walk in December 2019. You will find it here

Magen David Synagogue



Magen David Synagogue is one of the two synagogues those are still operating in Kolkata. It is operational since 1884 and recently had underwent a restoration.

Medical Ebo0k Downloading - list of Med_eBook free downloading Sites

Free medical ebooks on pdf are not rare, you may get them on torrent or over file hosting sites. And yes they disappear fast due to less number of downloads, or the whole file hosting site is down out of sudden. Or you may get a court notice from the publishers and you then have to delete the link. Torrent is best option for sharing medical ebooks but it's not providing best experience.

Telecom 2018: Predictions and Prejudices

2018 can be a crucial year for Indian telecom for many reasons. Anil Ambani will exit telecom, thank god! Rcom's towers (43000+), fiber network (more than 1lac km), spectrum and MCN (248 in total) will be sold to Reliance Jio. 

However RCom holds 262MHz of spectrum across 800/900/1800/2100MHz and Jio will take 122.4MHz spectrum, probably skipping 2100MHz/900MHz. 

With this deal, Reliance Infocomm (later rebranded to Reliance Communications under the ownership of Anil Ambani) which was the brainchild of Mukesh Ambani, goes to the original parent. A circle is completed now.

The deal size is unknown but valuation could be Rs 24000 cr. 

Happy New Year 2018
