megapixels (MP):: (maximum) capacity, in pixels, of the digital sensor
higher is typ. better, but anything above 4M is 'usable' by most standards.
zoom:: optical zoom is the 'real' zoom avl on the cam. donot worry about digital zoom for now.
3X / 4X is typ. avl presently. for larger zoom numbers, a very steady hand is required, and for most requirements, we can do with 3X zoom.
speed:: no, this is not a quoted term. but the speed of the camera helps you figure - how quickly can you take a photo (right from starting the camera), how soon can you take the next photo
the flow of the 'photo' is::
sensor->internal buffer->digital memory (sd/cf card)
some params that affect::
* MP - the larger the photo, longer the time taken to move it from sensor onto the memory
* buffer siz - a larger internal buffer helps parallelise (if the circuitry allows for that!)
* speed of the memory card - a faster card helps read/write faster!

change of habit: a dentist suggested this cleaning routine::
* brush prior to sleeping at night
* brush post morning breakfast
philosophy being - a brushing protects you for 12hrs typically.
this bit works well, trust me!
only problem is in adaptation, esp for forgetful chaps like me ;)
--
some other tips
* donot use a gel toothpaste, 'white toothpastes' are better
* you dont need too much of toothpaste for a brushing!
* cold/sweet items shouldnt give sensation to the teeth, else problems exist!

interesting!
..
sits between a rider's shoulders and any make of helmet, has been
designed to provide optimum protection for the spine during an
accident.
..
the system provides protection by offering a restraining effect if the
rider's head moves excessively forwards, backwards, or to the sides

0. booked a Del->Bom paper ticket via Cleartrip (and i was in Del all thru)
1. called Cleartrip call center to learn that paper tick might be required for AI, pl contact AI
2. called AI call center, got a confirmation that can do with a printout of Cleartrip's confirmation
3. landed at Del's IGI Airport
4. AI checkin declines, asks for paper ticket
5. we speak, after enough efforts in waiting, rephrasing, with AI customer service reps / Duty Mgr, only to hear 'sorr, pnr doesnt help. paper reqd'
6. called up AI call center, to hear 'paper tick is required. pl speak to Duty Mgr for more nfo'
7. the entire scene took the whole duration betn 04h30 till way past 06h15, the officials werent available, or were avoiding us, and surely werent 'customer friendly' !
8. to add insult to injury.. Cleartrip's advice on cancelation 'if done within 24hrs of flight dep, contact the airways' !!!
lesson learnt:: donot book paper tickets with AI; donot trust AI's call centers?!
queries:: is this case eligible for customer greivance? do the call centers do not have any bindings on the answers they provide ??
