WHY DOES ONE NEED LIFE INSURANCE?

The following is the list of Car Accessories that we found best for the Nepali Market. 

---

 

1) Bluetooth Receiver

Most of the latest cars include inbuilt Bluetooth, but if your car is still living in the past, this little gadget can bring it back to the present. As it's powered by a rechargeable battery, you don't need to worry about a constant power source -the battery lasts about a week for normal usage. Simply plug the device into an aux port, make sure your media player is in aux mode and connect your device. It also contains a microphone to enable you to answer phone calls on the go. Enjoy wireless music and handsfree phone call service with this purchase.

2) Key Finder

Do you struggle to find your keys or wallet, especially when you are in a hurry? Well, worry no more! With this device, you no longer need to waste time trying to find your precious items. Simply attach the receivers into any four items, and when you need to find them, use the transmitter to hear them beep and blink. Transmitting distance is up to 40 meters. Although it feels a little cheap to the touch, it does its job, making sure you don't lose your valuables.

3) Trash Can

Knowing Nepalese people, when we typically have trash in the car it’s most probably going to be thrown out of the window or into the depths of the edge of your car seat. This product is a must-buy for every car owner as it keeps not only your car clean but the very roads you use daily. The bin can be conveniently hooked at the side of your door or the backside of your seat without taking up much space and can hold about 2-3 days worth of trash.

4) Back Seat Organizer

If you are always on the go and can't stand a mess, this product will organize the plethora of items cluttering your car. With hooks to hang onto the seat (compatible with any car), this product will allow you to store items such as umbrellas and tissues, and it even has a large compartment for emergency clothes. It can hold your tablets and phones, whilst protecting your back seat from scratches and spills. If you need a little more organization in your car we highly recommend this product.

 

 

5) Phone mount

Imagine driving around a busy road and hearing your phone ring in your pocket. Fumbling for your phone is a highly inconvenient and dangerous task whilst attempting to swerve through the chaotic city traffic. By attaching this phone mount onto the dashboard, you can at all times have easy access to your phone. Additionally, if you are unfamiliar with a particular destination, you can use popular maps services such as the one provided by Google to guide you and have easy access to your phone at all times.      

 

6) Mirror Holder HD Video Screen

There’s a big windshield for us to see through the front. But the procedure to back is always a headache with the two side and one center mirror. This is a product that fixes a screen on your central mirror and connects it to the camera drilled in the back of your car. It reduces our efforts of turning back again and again by simply putting the video of the rear end in the front screen. It also supports motion detection and gives you signals right away when you are about to hit a wall or if somebody comes towards the car.

 

 

7) Air Freshner

Smell is associated with attraction. You might have a shiny car and clean seat but it wouldn’t be enough unless it smells nice. The car parked under the hard sun tends to have a pungent smell with the heating of leather covers of the seat. A good air freshener would be a golden investment for your car. It will only look classy if it smells classy.

8) 

Owning a car is fine but protecting it from dust and dirt is a tedious thing to do. Plus, the sun fades the color of the car and makes it look older than it actually is. The birds who play target practice with your car and the caterpillars strolling around might be a part of nature, but not for your car. Cover your car with it and early in the morning, you wouldn’t have to deal with problems nature might cause for your car.

 

9) Tire Inflator

Imagine going on a long trip, far away on your four wheels. The weather is so pleasant and the song in your stereo complements it. But when a tire gets deflated, you can do nothing about it. Consider buying a tire inflator to get back on the track again. The car tires can’t be inflated with your mouth just like the balloons, plan ahead for your next road trip.

 

10) USB car phone charger

USB car phone chargers are the supplementary boon to the humankind and you can keep it on your car accessories list as it is one of the most used tool and in a budget. You can now unlimitedly listen to songs connecting your phone to the Bluetooth stereo, watch a movie and if the battery gets drained, there is a charger connecting directly to your car’s battery.

 

 

 

 

COVID-19 and it’s consequence of Lockdown has been a curse to many of the businesses. Our Team took interviews with various people belonging to all small, medium, and large businesses. Some people say that their business has been adversely affected, while some state that it is in loss, however, they would revive from it soon.

Interview with Ashoke Gurung, Overdrive Car Accessories

(Gurung is one of the car accessories businessmen who have been in this business for more than 18 years. He has a shop named Overdrive Car Accessories in Kuleshwor, Kathmandu)

What is the post-COVID situation of Car Accessories Business in Nepal?

It has been 18 years since I am in this field. It was smooth and okay-ish until the COVID-19 and nationwide Lockdown hit the market hard. Now at this point of time, people are concerned about their health and survival more than any other thing. Car and car accessories are a luxury for the people residing in a country like Nepal. This lockdown, people are more into buying necessary items like rice, vegetables, and lentils and car accessories simply don’t fall in that category. Plus, the lockdown has forced us to get locked up in our homes and we can’t come to our shops and make even a handful of dealings. Thus, for small businesses like us, it is really difficult at this point of time.

How are you planning to run the business after the lockdown is over and what are the safety protocols?

We are planning to run the business by properly sanitizing our shop and all the equipment in the shop. We will maintain social distancing and ask all the employees to properly maintain the safety protocols by using masks, sanitizers, and wash hands before and after stepping outside the shop. We will do every possible step towards helping the nation not spread the CoronaVirus.

Stay tuned for more interviews.

Top 10 Essential Smartphone Accessories

Mobile phone case

Most of the Smartphone case nowadays has metal or glass build that makes it difficult to keep them safe. A good phone case not only protects the Smartphone but also gives an exquisite style to the Smartphone outlook. The phone cases may be thin, hybrid, rugged or wallet-like.

Screen protectors

Screen of a Smartphone is the most delicate part. Any damage in the display can lead to obsolesce of the phone and replacing the display can be quite expensive. So, a good quality screen protector is a must. Screen protectors not only keep the display free from blemishes and scratches but also protect the display even if it falls on its face.

Charger

A fast-charging charger of good brand can make a huge difference in a Smartphone’s battery-life. So, a charger, convenient if wireless, is another must accessory for a Smartphone user.

Power bank or portable charger

No one in today's world have time to pause and stay in one place. A portable charger i.e. power bank allows one to charge their Smartphone even when they are outdoors. However, the quality and brand of power bank should be thoroughly checked as the use of low quality brand could result in battery damage.

Phone Holders

A phone holder does exactly what its name suggests and 'holds' the phone for you. Its presence has eased several tasks from navigating through GPS without having to put one’s eyes off the road while driving, to watching movies and videos without having to hold the phone till our hands ache. Especially for the people with vehicle, a proper car mount is a must.

Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer

Everyone wishes to capture videos with smooth moving shots; however, sometimes some unintended motions may corrupt the shots. Gimbal stabilizer is the best solution and accessory one must have to capture incredible images and smooth motioned videos.

Earphones or headphones

Earphones or headphones, wired or wireless, are widely used all over the world. For everyone who loves to enjoy listening songs, news or even talk on phone without having to hold ones phone, an earphone or headphone is the key. A good quality earphone last long and has good quality audio.

Micro SD card or External Storage

As we tend to do a lot of activities in our Smartphone, expandable storage has become another important accessory. A thorough evaluation of expandable limit should be made before purchasing a SD card. Also, if you plan to use an external flash drive, make sure that the phone supports USB OTG.

Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Every Smartphone comes with its own speakers; some may have great sound quality whereas some may not. In such case, it’s better to get a portable speaker that one can carry around.

Selfie Stick

Are you fond of taking selfies? If yes then, you must plan to get a selfie stick that assists you to get wide angle perfect shots.

Going for a regular check-up of the blood sugar level, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and even pulse rate in a hospital is a tedious task if it must be done on a daily basis and sometimes multiple times in a single day. So to omit this necessity to visit hospitals, path labs for these minor but necessary indicators of our health there are various portable medical devices in the market, which can be easily used at our home by us. This not only saves our time and money but the use of such home medical devices will prevent you from getting infected from other diseases in the hospital itself.

Here are the lists of the essential home medical equipment one must have in their house for regular monitoring or for some emergency situations:

1)Digital Thermometer

It is the most common medical device we find in almost every house. A digital thermometer is used to check and monitor the body temperature in decimal points, for an accurate and specific reading. They are easier to read and some are built with timer or alarms for different uses. They run on battery and it can be replaced when required. These digital thermometers can be bought from any medical store in the market.

 

2)Pulse Oximeter

This is small equipment that clips onto a person’s finger, pulse oximeter measures pulse and the percentage of oxygen in the blood. It is mostly used for monitoring patients in hospital including those who have had some surgeries or by people with respiratory problems staying at home. This device helps us to decide whether the patient needs extra oxygen. A pulse oximeter runs on battery and provides real-time results on a small LED (light-emitting diode) display on the device itself. Relying only on clinical tests or waiting for advanced symptoms like shortness of breath to occur may delay the treatment and the patient may become critical due to the loss of this precious time. Regular monitoring of oxygen level will help us to take actions sooner instead of waiting for shortness of breath or pneumonia to occur.

 

3) Digital Blood Pressure Meter

Many people still visit clinics for their Blood pressure checked in Nepal. This is because they don’t have an idea about the digital Bp machine and to operate the manual Bp machine one must be trained. So having the digital BP meter in the home will make it easier to monitor one’s Bp level whenever you want. This is to manage certain health conditions by measuring it, keeping a log of the measurement to show to the doctor and if you take medicines to control your blood pressure, it will help document if they are working. Measuring your blood pressure at home is a good way to take part in managing your health.

 

4)Glucometer

A glucometer is a small, portable machine that's used to measure sugar level in the blood (also known as the blood glucose level). People with diabetes often use a blood glucose meter to help them manage their condition. As other devices above it also run on battery and testing the blood sugar level is so simple that anyone can do it when required. It consists of the test strip which is placed on the glucometer then a small lancing device is used to draw blood without pain from the patient's finger then the blood which will be held on the edge of the test strip then the glucometer will give the result after few seconds. In this way, we will get the monitoring of glucose level at home without any hassle. This device can be bought from any medical store.

 

5) First Aid Kit/Emergency Medical Supplies

Last but not least is the emergency medicine supplies and First Aid kit which are very important for the unknown emergencies that may occur in the future. Some of the international standard first aid kits or devices include bandages, ace bandage, compression stocking, snakebite kit, heating pad, ice pad, and defibrillator. Here device like defibrillator is used to restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart.

They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, a heartbeat that is uneven or that is too slow or too fast. Defibrillators can also restore the heart's beating if the heart suddenly stops.

 With all the above most common home medical equipment, another hot topic regarding health care at home is Tele health, this is one of the important technology which is health care facilitated by telecommunications technology, that has begun to transform the home care landscape and promises to grow substantially in coming years. Currently, simple technologies (e.g., e-mail, the Internet, cell phones) can be used to monitor people’s health at a distance.

High-resolution visual images and audio can be transmitted through telephone lines or broadband connections. In coming years, remote monitoring will increase dramatically and will involve more types of equipment in the home; technologies such as wireless electronics and digital processing will support communication between a diverse set of devices and remote health care providers.

There are various new inventions been going on in the field of home medical devices that have made our life a bit easier and comfortable helping us to monitor and control our own health from home.
