Health Insurance - Importance and Benefits

Health insurance has become a need of the hour and everybody is really taking it next to Life Insurance, knowing the importance of it or without knowing it!

But, What I found mostly is everyone who is working in the corporate sector are covered already by the company by a Group Mediclaim Policy by the Company itself and they are not interested in taking up another policy and they find it waste of money. Their question is why should I take the policy outside as I am already covered by my company?

The value of taking a separate mediclaim policy lies in the following factors :
(1) when you shift your company often
(2) To support all the people in your family
(3) In this era, no amount you can say is enough for your health coverage. May be you can apply for a separate mediclaim for higher coverage.

Many of the companies are now giving Health Insurance and some of the companies like Apollo DKV is giving coverage till the lifetime, which can be availed off. Some of the companies give the coverage for the maternity but some doesn't. Even if they cover for the maternity, they would have the cap of Rs. 50,000/-.

So, Its better to judge before to get the health insurance plan and its the need of the hour after the life insurance.

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors.

With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN.

Libby - An app for audio books and eBooks from your US library

Have you ever wondered about having audio-books from your library. Libby is a nice app (the web version is https://www.overdrive.com) to see all your books I recently was looking for some ways to hear audiobooks during my commute. Usually, I use Spotify to hear some regional songs.  The Libby app works seamlessly with the Android auto app and it was amazing to listen to nice books during commute. I also downloaded few ebooks and it remembers the location and works perfectly. If you choose to read through Kindle, that option is also allowed. The ebooks can be read through overdrive in the web using a browser or through the Libby app itself.  I use the Alameda County library. Some of the most popular books have a hold period and you can be in the waiting list for the books and it will be borrowed automatically for 21 days. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Happy learning!!!
