Ok! I
confess, I am gonna write a long post here! Reason, switching from ‘tablet to
tablet’ is a looooong story.
It all began
with my grandma’s fairytales, which often ended with an emblem sentence “And
they lived happily ever after”.
Wow! Amazing
it sounded that time. This sentence and its delivery by my Grandma at the end
of each story was so powerful that I created a strong belief of having a
magical world, where one day, everything will fall in place automatically and I
will live HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
But, did
this really happen? Obviously no! There’s a thin line between the world we
live in and the world we think we deserve to live in. And, this gap
is never neither filled, nor eliminated. Thus, we live an incomplete life,
waiting for a day, where magic will happen, blue birds will sing outside our
bedroom window and wind will sing to us; In short, HAPPILY EVER AFTER thing
keeps nagging in our butt.
Long story
short, (I have mentioned this sentence in large font, so that impatient people
could also spare some time and gather some courage to read on further).
So, long
story short, I wanted to be an aerobics trainer, guest speaker at seminars and
a night show Radio Jockey (everything I thought I deserved to be) and I ended
up being a content writer in a random firm (only thing they thought I deserved
to be). And, here the roller coaster ride began! Take a look J

I often
thought to myself, what I am doing in here! I need to get up and chase my
dreams; But 9 hours of office sucked my soul and staring at the computer screen
for whole day and tapping my fingers on the keyboard turned me insane. I hated
thinking of computers back home. I dropped my idea of buying a laptop and
TABLETS became my only matter of interest!

HELLO! Don’t
overthink, I am talking about pills here. Yes, pills for backache, pills for
headache, pills for fever, pills for blood pressure, and pills for cervical pain.
So, that’s how me and my TABLETS became companions for every day.

Relying on
these TABLETS, turning my mind insomniac, I somehow managed to look compos
mentis at work place. But how long can someone hide a volcano inside. 9 hours
of sitting at the computer table, staring at the screen and writing about such
content, which didn’t match my interest level injured HOLD, STAND AND TILT mode
of my mind.

I witnessed
my imagination power drifting away from me. The last thing I could imagine at
that time was the Fairy of my imagination (who made me believe on grandma’s Happily
ever after tales) was waving me Goodbye. It was high time but I couldn’t help
it. They increased my salary and I had turned Buck-Pup (I named this
myself for running behind money and ignoring health).

But, one
day, I saw this…And it changed my whole world. I somehow managed to gather
courage hiding in each of my veins and waved Goodbye to my job!

Now, I was
all set to pursue what I wanted to do-Photography as hobby and fitness training
and RJing as profession. But, it wasn’t that easy; I had gained enough of
weight and proved the above mentioned EVOLUTION PICTURE right. So I first had
to draft and plan and start working accordingly.
So, I decided
to: Blog regularly, Watch some funny videos, learn Yoga online and of course
watch some photography and editing videos on Youtube. Guess what, doing all
this again needed sitting on a computer or Laptop! No… I wasn’t over with the
trauma I suffered during my job. SO buying a laptop was absolutely No-No!
So my
brother suggested get a Tablet and I shouted I have had enough in last one
year. Tablet for almost everything except contraceptives!
He was sure
his sister had turned psycho so he decided to explain what exactly a tablet is
and I found myself stupid to think that I had almost forgotten that a gadget
named TABLET also exists.

I bought one
such tablet, which was praised very well by its makers of course, through the
advertisements and I was happy. I thought finally I had a little thing in the
name of computer, which is handy, easy to carry and of course stylish enough to
flaunt in public.
But, moon isn’t
as shiny as it appears from distance. I invested in a table expecting it to
erase all my worries and add comfort in my life, but I was rather introduced
with new kind of troubles.
My everyday
life like with a tablet:
- It was smaller than laptop, but certainly bigger than a smartphone. SO, it was painful to hold it in hand. My thumb suffered pain whenever I tried to carry it with one hand.
- It was impossible to carry it with one hand and using another hand to tap its screen. For that, I either had to sit and place it in my lap (which I hated) or get annoyed with uncomfortable way of working on a tab.
- It had excellent screen resolution but I couldn’t watch videos on it as per my comfort. If I wanted to curl on my sofa and watch some funny videos on my brand new tab, I SIMPLY COULDN’T DO IT. Because the devices wanted to be TREATED LIKE A CHILD. It was annoying to keep my hands swinging in air, right above me, holding the tablet, causing unbearable pain in my shoulders.
- I used flower vase to offer back-support to the tablet and my mom’s comb box in the front side for support. But still this slippery element managed to slip down and lay straight on the table. Do I need to tell it was annoying!!
- LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, I ended up breaking two flower vases while bringing my tablet into stand mode and MOM named me SCRAPER.
Enough! I had
certainly had enough of infidelity from this arrogant tab and I decided to give
it away. So, I gave it away to my cousin brother, who still owes me good
gesture for that, ARROGANT COUSIN BROTHERS HUH!
Who says
life doesn’t end with a Tablet. It does man! My mother declared me careless,
arrogant and a girl whose brain is filled with complaints. She warned me that
if is sell or give away this tablet to someone, she would never let me buy any
gadget ever again. I knew she wasn’t serious. But she actually was!
While
reading through the contest and features PDF of LENOVO YOGA TAB, the only thing
that came in my mind was whoah! That’s the gadget I want to have with me for a
lifetime. It’s all what I desired- A tablet, which is easy to hold, easy to
stand and quick to tilt and adjust my view. But! Mom was still firm to her
decision. She was sure that she would never let me buy a new tablet or any
gadget because I didn’t value the previous one. So it was time for me to
convince her.
So I decided
to write a letter to my mom and convince her that the gadget I am talking about
now is worth using. And there's no harm in winning it ;) (wink wink)
**Letter To Mommy the Great**
Mom,
Do you
remember a calculator+alarm clock that brother brought for me. The one which was
automatic and was easy to hold and tilt through its cylindrical sides? I am
sure you remember how much I liked it because it was so comfortable to use,
smart and elegant in looks and of course had awesome features! Did I ever
complaint for that? No… Same is the case with Lenovo Yoga Tablet.

I am sure
not because of reading the manual, but also because of the fact that it reminds
me of only gadget I loved, that alarm clock!
Earlier I thought
that technology has really grown up. How smartly the engineers shrunk a
computer into a mini pad equivalent to a book cover size. But, I got to know
the actual picture once I explored that old tablet. I realized that there’s a lot more still
needed to be invented in terms of comfort, ease of access and flexibility for
the users.
Every time I
used that old tablet, I thought to myself ‘I wish they put an engineer in
trouble! And magic will happen! Because a trouble engineer would find a
marvelous way to get rid of the problem permanently. And that’s what Lenovo
Yoga Tablet has done. Mommy! It is a multi-mode tablet and has:
- Hold mode
- Stand mode
- Tilt mode

In short,
the engineers have paid enough attention to not only software part, but hard
ware part as well, which is often ignored by other tablet makers. Trust me
Mommy, this is a revolution.
Earlier it
was
‘Take a
tablet and get rid of the pain!’
And then it
turned to
‘Oh God!
This tablet is Pain!’
This is the
journey from tablet to tablet. I am sure you understand that from which tablet
to which I am talking about because few years back, we only knew one tablet, which
we could digest easily. But, digesting these costly and feature loaded tablets
of tech savvy world is quite challenging.
But, I really
love this multi-mode tablet, because it’s what exactly I needed. Its #betterway
Why? Ok read the pointers quickly Mommy!
- Ok, I need a tablet, which is easy to flaunt in Public! But flaunting is a daunting task! I am sure you would agree with this. BUT Lenovo Yoga Tablet’s unique battery cylinder, easy to hold with one hand will let me do this easily
- It is easy to hold, stand and adjust screen view with this smart tab, so I would surely get rid of cervical pain, back pain and shoulder pain.
- It is quite easy to carry this tab around and I can use it on the go easily.
- And Mom you can't beat this one! IT HAS Awesome Battery Backup (18-20 hours!)
- It has hold mode, so you won’t need to see your flower vases breaking accidently!
- PLUS… I strongly believe that it has that HAPPILY EVER AFTER feel attached with it. Having this tab will be more like a DREAM COMING TRUE.
And Mommy! SHOPPING, INTERNET SURFING, SOCIAL NETWORKING, READING AND ENTERTAINMENT everything matters if it is accessed comfortably. And, that's what this Yoga tablet is offering-Comfort and flexibility in usage of this gadget.
Yours
beloved and Lenovo Yoga Tablet’s Lover
Piyu
Now I am
sure my Mom won’t bother me winning this tablet as a gift under this content.
