How long have we been day-dreaming about having video conversations with our loved ones, live over the phone? Take a moment and think back. Honestly, for me it was only last night that I wished I could have a heart-to-heart video conversation with my beloved. Now that I mentioned, I know you wished you could do the same.

Phone conversations have not really been living up to the never-satisfied need of our tech-crunching youth for a while now. But of course, we waited with diligence and its about time we savored the fruit!

Teletalk Bangladesh Limited, the public limited company incorporated on 26 December, 2004, registered under the Registrar of the Joint stock companies of Bangladesh has recently announced the introduction of 3G technology in our country being the 1st of all the carriers we have in our country. Now, for the folks who are still wondering what 3G is and how it is relevant to video conversation...(I HAD TO write this part!) 3G is the third generation of wireless technologies and it actually offers quite a marvelous number of enhancements over 2.5G and previous networks:

Several times higher data speed;

Enhanced audio and video streaming;

Video-conferencing support;

Web and WAP browsing at higher speeds;

IPTV (TV through the Internet) support.

3G, as most of us know, is mostly used with mobile phones and handsets as a means to connect the phone to the Internet or other IP networks in order to make voice and video calls as well as download and upload data and surf the net.

However, every advancement comes with a price.

To avail 3G offered by Teletalk on your supported handset, you must 1st join the “Gravity Club”. Yes, I’m going to tell you all about it! To join the Gravity Club, the interested subscriber has to have a minimum balance of Tk.500 on their active Teletalk connection. After securing the required minimum balance, the interested subscriber has to type “Gravity” from the messaging option of his/her 3G supported device and send it to “666” and VOILA!

What you get for 500bucks (vat incl.) is:

·         600minutes (300 off-net, 300 on-net minutes)

·         200 messages (100 off-net, 300 on-net messages)

·         50MB of GPRS

Other than that you get bonus offers and attractive prizes. Details of which are mentioned in the advertisement posted below.

Today we would be talking about a new buzz in town. It is The Crazy Bag Lady. Without much introduction let's hear it from the owners of The Crazy Bag Lady, Sarah Shams and Humairah Shams.

Deshi Buzz: Tell us about yourself?

The Crazy Bag Lady: We're a small home based business that wants to make the world a better place, one bag at a time :D

DB: How did The Crazy Bag Lady start?

TCBL: It started with a very bored 16 year old (Humairah) with a passion for sewing. She wanted to make her sister a birthday present and so made her a bag. That was one of the very first creations of the Crazy Bag Lady. Within a very short time, she made so many bags that she did not know what to do with them, so she made a blog, and put them up for sale. The blog itself became so popular that we opened a page on Facebook and thus the Crazy Bag Lady officially came to be.

DB: Tell us about your designs?

TCBL: Our specialty is that most of our bags can be customized according to the customers' liking. And by bags, we do mean All kinds of bags, starting from phone pouches to big book bags. We also have make up bags, shoulder bags and our latest addition, lovely evening clutches. The design we're most proud of, however, is the Vinyl clutches, where the customer can turn their favorite pictures into a fabulous clutch.

DB:     How did you come up with the name?

TCBL: Funny thing about that is, Humairah did not even need to think hard about the name. The name "Crazy Bag Lady" just came to her. It just made a lot of sense. It’s a very accurate reflection of her personality.

  DB:     Any interesting story you’d like to share about The Crazy Bag Lady?

TCBL: There are no interesting stories in particular, but we want to take this chance to introduce Elf, the co owner of The Crazy Bag Lady, Henry the narcissistic ceramic bird and Biscuit and Cookie, the little guinea pig sidekicks. One of the most fun times we had was preparing for the Way To Fame fair. We gathered all our minions (people, not ceramic birds and guinea pigs) and made flowers and bows for the bags. It was a hoot. :D

DB:     What is the aim of The Crazy Bag Lady?

TCBL: The main goal of The Crazy Bag Lady is to provide the customers with unique designs that are not normally available here. Also, it’s obviously not about the profit we make, it’s about spreading smiles and making people happy. It’s very fun to see people get excited over the bags we deliver to them. Nothing tops that amazing feeling.

DB:     Anything you’d like to say to the readers of the Deshi Buzz?

TCBL: Deshi Buzz is an incredible initiative. Keep reading it. It’s awesome. (Y)

DB: Any selfish promotional stuff you’d like to say?

TCBL: Keep calm and buy bags :D lol. Also, be sure to visit the Crazy Bag Lady on the 10th of August at Eid Carnival '12 fair at Volume V near D Boulevard.

DB:     Deshi Buzz aims to promote the young people of Bangladesh to have interesting topics to talk about. What do you think about this initiative?

TCBL: It’s an incredible initiative and it is indeed a great way for people to be heard. Also a great way to be updated about the entertainment news. Great job, keep it up. (Y)

After the massive success of Studio Bangi's 'Kobe' music video and 'Bondhutto' video the buzz is on already that they are coming out with their new video soon. After waiting so long fans were starting to wonder whether Studio Bangi is working on something or not. Whether it is another music video or something else it cannot be confirmed yet as they have carried out the project quiet secretively. The hint was first received when they updated their Facebook status thanking their fans for helping them cross 2000 likes on Facebook. After thanking they also mentioned their new video would be coming out soon:

"2K awesome subscribers! Thank you all ! Stick around...new video coming soon."
