Few months back I had posted about the CCD of my camera being faulty here. I am happy to say Canon was generous enough to give me a replacement, a Canon S5IS.
Canon has proved that customer satisfaction is there top concern.
Happy Independence Day to all our visitors.
On this day we are starting straightfrommyheart, a blog dedicated to current affairs and also a common man’s day to day life. Keep visiting and post your comments and thoughts.
I was searching for one particular book when one of my friends recommended this site - http://www.freebookspot.com
It is a pretty good site for free e-books providing “live links” to many interesting books in various categories.
The best feature about this site is that majority of the book links are working which is not a common observation.

Today I got an email today in office regarding a social welfare organization called Youth for Seva. It was advertising about a new sponsership program called as School Kit Sponsorship.
Youth For Seva’s School Kit Sponsorship aims at providing school kits to financially challenged students at few chosen schools, slums and orphanages in Bangalore.
I gave Rs 200 towards this sponsorship and believe me it felt very good.
If anyone is interested in contributing towards this noble cause please contact me using the contact form.
I have a Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 MP Digital Camera with 10x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom which I bought a couple of years back online at Amazon. Today I showed it to one authorized service center in Bangalore and came to know that the CCD of the camera is fault and it is a manufacturing defect.
I did a bit of lookup and found out the following -
It has come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in certain Canon digital cameras and digital video camcorders may cause the following malfunction: When the product is used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all. While reports of this malfunction have been rare in the United States, we have determined that it may occur if the product is exposed to hot and humid environments.

Ever since I started this blog, I have got a good number of comments and suggestions as to how this blog can be improved. One such suggestion came from Sandeep Solanki.
