Power banks to buy

For all the times when luck is facing the other way
You remember that famous Doris Day song – que sera sera - whatever will be, will be? Add a little twist to it, and voila, you have Murphy’s law - anything that can go wrong, will go wrong! So here are a few good reasons why you’ll need a power bank when situations go slightly downhill

Picture this. You live alone in a different city. You’ve informed your parents early on about getting home late, and just as you’re headed back, your parents call. Except in the few seconds that you answer and say ‘Hello’, your phone decides that that’s the best time to get you into trouble, and switches off! Get a power bank to stay away from all the explaining you will have to do.

Going home? Sitting at the airport, your handbag by the side of your foot, book in hand and desperately trying to finish the chapter you’re reading. But a smile keeps breaking in the corner of your lips. There is a latent euphoria surrounding homecoming that knows no bounds. And then an ominous announcement – your flight’s been delayed. If you’re thinking that the universe might be conspiring against you, you just might be right! And what better time for your phone to die on you, but right now! To avoid a panic attack, get that power bank.

Someone rightly said cricket is a religion in India. From Ganguly waving his jersey at Lords, to Dhoni collecting the stumps after winning matches, we have now eased into the Kohli era. At this point when the team is doing so well, you obviously don’t want to miss out any of their games. And if you can’t go to the stadium, you can always get updates and highlights on your smartphone. Unless, of course your smartphone has run out on battery from all the live tweeting you've been busy with.

You notice your phone is dying, so you plug it in to charge. And right at the moment, there’s a power cut. It is inevitable. And you don’t know how long until it’ll be back and can do nothing more than watch your phone as the charge keeps dipping.

Stepping out for a party? Or a date? You're all dressed up and ready to leave. Cash – check. ID – check. Keys – check. Lipstick – check. Perfume – check. Battery life on you phone? Uh oh! Save yourself from having to wait while your battery gets replenished.

What’s the worst thing that can happen to you at work? An office prank? Not really. The worst thing to happen is your phone dying when you’re on a conference call with clients, and closing the biggest deal of your life! Imagine having to write a debrief for a conversation you’ve only picked up parts of. Imagine what that could do to you. Don’t give your gadgets the opportunity to dictate your life. Take control.
