I was travelling on a bus and reading a book on Symbian C++. I just wanted to write a sample app using Camera and took my Phone. It was a phone very similar to E90 :-/  . Done the necessary coding using QWERTY keypad, compiled it and ran the application right on the phone.  Wanted to make some some modifications in the code to implement Video recording funtionality and upload to a Sever, Long pressed Menu key to switch the display back to IDE on my phone, done the neceassary coding, compiled it back again, run the application and was capturing a Video. eekss!! Suddenly the bus braked! I just stood up to see what happend - I was not in a bus :-/ , I can see my room, my Symbian C++ books beside me.. Where am I ??  That was a dream ?? I was just wondering - I woke up from my bed and still was unable to believe that I was on a dream! But I have to!!  It was about 6:45 am and have to get ready to go to office. 

In my part of the country there is a belief that dreams that happen in early morning will come true - Will my dream come true ?

Tired of carrying your ordinary Nokia Mobile phone charger all the way on your business trips? Forget to charge your Mobile, battery is running out and you don’t have your heavy charger with you? Here comes an easy solution: Nokia USB Charger CA-100

Seems to be an easy solution for Charging, you don’t have to even look for a power plug near your desk. CA-100 allows you to directly charge from your PC's USB port.

Hmm.. There might be several 3rd party USB chargers, but I suggest to always go with genuine accessories.

It was about a year back, on a bright sunny afternoon, that I got a mail from Nokia. Since it was not from any personal mail id, I thought it would be some newsletter and added it for my spare time reading. I went back to my work, but that mail from Nokia was haunting me. I opened the mail and read it. I was rather surprised and could not believe my eyes, so thought of replying. Immediately, I got a reply from the Forum Nokia team welcoming me as a Forum Nokia Champion!
 
Yes! That was the starting of a Champion year! Some weeks later I received my Champion device and a Forum Nokia diploma. That moment was one of the most unforgettable moments in my life. It was great going.. We were invited for participating in some Pilot programs, special invitations for different Forum Nokia events and training sessions and so on..
 
A Champion year has gone by and I am proud to be one of the Champion members. It gives me immense pleasure when remembering the past year. And of course I do thank the excellent support extended by the Forum Nokia Champion support team.
 
Another great advantage that I got as a Champion is a bunch of good friends and several good contacts including Juarez, Mateen, Hartti, Ron, Peter.. Hmmm the list goes on..
 
The community feeling that I am experiencing here is the driving force for continuing my stay here. Hope this will be the same in coming years too..
 
Well, its almost dusk and end of a Champion year..
 
Thanks Nokia and the team behind.. Keep up the good work.....
