I like to listen to music when I am working on a computer. It gives you a good tempo to work. For so many years, MusicIndiaOnline.com was the only source for us to listen our favourite songs and music. MusicIndiaOnline or Raaga.com are good sites but those are soo web 1.0. You have to click click click to get to the album that you want to listen and then once you are there, you need to have either RealPlayer plugin or Windows Media player.

Here comes Web 2.0. Users can search for a song, album or singer and once they find the song they want, they just click to add it to the playlist. That's it.. start listening to your favourite songs. The website is called Phulki.com. Phulki is a music meta search engine. I think after a long time, I have seen a startup with really good value.

Currently Phulki is available in Hindi and Tamil. The site doesn't require you to register but if you register to the site, you can create your own playlists or Save Featured playlists. It also gives you random playlist, weekly top 15 songs, old is gold etc.

Front page gives you recently played songs, popular searches and featured playlists. I think if you don't want to carry your own songs/playlist with you all the time, Phulki.com is a best site to listen to your favourite songs.

Soon this would become the mantra for two-wheeler riders in the coming years. After all, they will have an all-new option of a head gear, compatible with the latest blue-tooth enabled gadgets. It's light weight, transparent and can be folded and kept in a box as big as a goggle cover.
This GenNext helmet is the latest creation of National Institute of Design (NID)'s Apparel Designing and Merchandising department and is in process of being prototyped by a team led by Somesh Singh.
 
"This is a product which gives a lot more flexibility, visibility , strength, safety and of course stylen than regular helmets . It is a multi-layered helmet which can be pulled out to give the shape of an helmet. For storing it, the layers can be slipped back to give the helmet a shape of nothing bigger than a goggle and can easily find place in a bag," said Singh.
Helmets are very bulky and storing them is a difficult task. In cities where the driver and the pillion, both have to wear the helmet, the condition is worse. NID's folding helmet is a perfect solution.Read more..
