What’s that smell, Boss?

If I have to tell a person he she smells, how do I do it?

Have a look at this video!

If a person has a problem with personal hygiene and is therefore a bit smelly, I should be the one who has to tell him/her.

But how?

Read on. Here is what I did :-

Firstly, I sat in a room so that I can have a private, one to one conversation. I Don't tell him what the meeting is about. I Just tell him I need to see him about something which is not too important, but it is urgent.

Then when I get to the room I sit at the corner of the table and ask him to sit at the adjacent corner so that I am at 45 degrees to each other. I don't want to be sat across the table, because that sets up a confrontational situation.

When he arrived I start by thanking him for coming and when he is settled I say something very close to the following.

"Thank you for coming. I want to tell I something, but before I do, I need to warn you that what I have to say, is of a rather personal nature, and I need you to know that. Okay?"

"As you sit here, and whenever I get this close to you, I can SENSE (I don't say smell) a certain distinct odour, ( I dont say SMELL)".

"It is not a perfume. It is some other kind of odour."

Then, I pause for about two second's to let that sink in.
Then I continue in the following way:

"Would you please do whatever you need to do, to remedy the situation?"

He said,  "I know that I have this problem and who are you to tell me what to do. you are not my mother".

I say, "I know it is ordinarily none of my business. But the fact is that, whenever I get this close to you I can SENSE, (I don't say smell), a certain distinct odour, (not SMELL), and therefore believe that others must notice it too. Therefore, it has become legitimate for me to make mention of it to I.

At the conclusion of the interview, I gave him a few minutes to compose himself.

Moto G Versus Moto X

The Moto X has finally come to India and the Moto G is already available so you might be trying to decide which to buy. Well that's where GUIthing comes in because we've compared the two Android smartphones in various categories to highlight how they differ.

Price

Motorola smashed it in terms of value for money with the Moto G, offering users a mid-range smartphone for a budget price. There's little to argue about with a price of just INR 12,499/- to buy it outright.

Things are a little different when it comes to the Moto X. It's Motorola's current flagship smartphone so it's bound to cost more than the Moto G and as such has a INR 23,999/- price tag.

This means you can buy nearly 2 Moto Gs for the price of one Moto X. So it is worth the extra money?

Both of Motorola's phones look very similar. Even though the screen sizes are a little different, the devices themselves are about the same size. In fact, the Moto G with is smaller screen is a little bigger than the Moto X. It's also understandably thicker and heavier than its more expensive brother.

Each is well made but feels quite plasticky so there's little in it. With no Moto Maker in India just yet, the Moto X doesn't have a big advantage over the Moto G here.

Moto G vs Moto X: Screen

Screen size is a great way to choose between two smartphones – you'll want to pick a size that's comfortable for you personally. There's only a small difference between the Moto G and Moto X here. The former is rocking a 4.5in display while the latter give you a little extra at 4.7in.

They both use a 720p resolution so it's in fact the Moto G which has a better pixel density but there's not much in it so it's better to go on the size.

The Moto X uses AMOLED technology. Colours are more vibrant and punchy but some users may prefer the more natural look of the Moto G's display.

Moto G vs Moto X: Processor

Despite its bargain basement price, the Moto G has a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the Moto X has a dual-core Snapdragon Pro chip clocked a bit higher at 1.7GHz. It's got 2GB of RAM.

This might seem a little confusing but the bottom line is that both offer decent performance so you needn't worry. The Moto X has a software optimised chip with a natural language processor and a contextual computing processor. Just bear in mind that the Moto G is punching way above its weight here.

Moto G vs Moto X: Storage

With no expandable storage available on the Moto G or Moto X, storage is another area to consider closely. The Moto G is available in 8- or 16GB models while the Moto X has double these capacities. However, it appears that the 32GB Moto X missed its flight to India.

Moto G vs Moto X: Cameras

The Moto G has a mid-range 5Mp main camera which takes surprisingly good photos. It's even got an HDR shooting mode. Although the 10Mp camera on the Moto X isn't quite as good as we'd hoped, it still offers more details and video in 1080p compare to 720p. It's front camera is also better at 2Mp against 1.3Mp.

Moto G vs Moto X: Software

If you can't find a Moto G or Moto X which ships with Android 4.4 Kitkat, you'll be able to upgrade to the latest software once you're up and running – an advantage of being a Google-owned (Now Lenovo) company.

Although both phones run pretty vanilla versions of Android, there are differences which you should be aware of.  On top of things like Moto Assist, the Moto X has unique features like Active display and Quick Capture. It's also got voice recognition which can learn your voice so there are a few reasons to opt for the Moto X over the Moto G here.

Moto G vs Moto X: Battery life

It's worth noting that neither the Moto X nor Moto G has a removable battery. Each phone offers typical smartphone battery performance of one day with an average usage. Only light users will get more than a day.

Verdict

The Moto G punches so far above its price tag that the large difference in price between it and the Moto X and the small difference in hardware and software mean the Moto X isn't worth the extra money.
