#HangoutWithHonda experience in Bangalore


#HangoutWithHonda event was organised on a Sunday at the Oberoi's Bangalore to test the various features of the newest app by Honda Cars India. Various journalists and bloggers were invited for the event which started at 9 am in the morning.

The Honda Connect app comes with 5 key features:

  1. Impact Alert: Imagine yourself going for a long drive and you meet with an unfortunate accident on the road. First thing you will feel is panic, isn't it? Don't worry, as the app will activate the Honda 121 call centre to generate assistance for the customer.
  2. Locate My Car: How many times it has happened that you forget where you have parked your car in the parking among the hoard of cars? With Honda Connect, you can easily locate your car and reach it easily.
  3. Share My Location: From the safety point of view, this is very important to keep your loved ones informed about your location if you are running late for some unavoidable circumstances, you can conveniently share your location.
  4. Vehicle Health Monitoring: Personally I could never tell about the health of my car and I have a habit of forgetting servicing dates. Honda Connect takes care of both with timely notifications.
  5. Trip Analysis: Long route or short route? How fast did your loved ones drove your beloved car? All this can be checked through the app. 
All these features were shown to us with the help of live demonstration (apart from Impact Alert of course).

Honda Cars India released the app in December 2015 in association with Minda i-Connect and anyone can download it from the Google Play store and Apple's App Store.

#UandMeAgainstDengue - A fight against Dengue initiative by Mortein


It was a warm and sunny day in Bangalore and at 12 noon we reached the Mavalli Government school near Lalbagh for the event organised by Mortein. It was a small school and the first thing which I noticed was that the walls were painted with Indian tricolours. I thought, if we can succeed in eradicating polio from our country, we surely can surely eradicate Dengue as well. So, the initiative by Mortein really caught my attention here.

Here's my experience in the form of tweets:
Posters had been put and the kids were really looking forward to the activities.
As explained to me there were mainly 3 activities planned by Mortein.

1. Neem plantation by the Principal and the teachers of the school.
2. A street play based on Dengue.
3. Distribution of badges, leaflets and poster making competition based on it.

First activity:
As many as 5 neem plants were planted in the school surroundings. Hats off!
I got good responses on it, one of which was this informative tweet:

Second activity:
This was really fun, and the kids enjoyed it thoroughly. The play talked about the causes for Dengue and how one can take proper precautions. They busted several myths on it as well. Which kind of mosquitoes are responsible for this and do's and don'ts. They also made it clear that our surroundings should always be neat and clean in order to fight this off.


Last activity:

Log on to http://http://www.uandmeagainstdengue.com/ for more information on the initiative. Causes and precautions and more all at the same place here. As a part of the program, Mortein will reach out to schools all around the country and nearly 50,000 people have already joined this fight. You can join this as well and we all can kick out Dengue with this praise worthy initiative by Mortein.
