<h2>The charging nightmare</h2>
Growing up with headphones/earphones that were either attached to a Walkman or a plugged into a phone was the norm for this writer, so when the Bluetooth version of both came.&nbsp;
It seemed a natural evolution. But in the past few months these headphones seemed another thing to worry about in terms of recharging. Between making sure that that my phone was charged and my life in the moving parts of my day were a mildly well-oiled machine we began to experience recharge-fatigue.
So on a whim we bought a headphone with a C-type pin because the charging and the wired-headphones have only one port unlike earlier and most of the time we are loving the fact that it is one less thing to worry about. Curious about the name of the brand? It&rsquo;s Portronics. So maybe go back to analogue.
<h2>Build your own auto</h2>
When this writer moves around in the city, we spot autorickshaws everywhere. There is always the urge to drive one ourselves. Brix Fix brings us one step closer to this dream with their upcoming autorickshaw building set.

It&rsquo;s a brick-by-brick Lego style set that you can preorder now, only for Rs 99. The full price after delivery will be Rs 999. It&rsquo;s expected to come out in November this year.
During the festive season, Brix Fix had even come out with a Baby Ganesha building blocks set (priced at Rs 1249). These brick sets are a fun way to keep little hands occupied during the festive rush or maybe just to keep them entertained.&nbsp;
