Creating Ringtones for iPhone with iTunes.

Do you want to have your own ringtone for your iPhone.. here are the steps..

Step 1:  Launch iTunes on your computer.

Step 2:  Add the song or audio file you want to use into  your iTunes library

Step 3: Right click on the song and select “Get Info." and In the Get Info window, selection the Options tab and change the Stop and Start Time to read the segment of the song that you want to save as a ringtone and select OK

         NOTE : Ringtones can only be for 30 seconds.. so choose the slot you want to have as your ring tone ex: to start from the beginning Start time from 0:00 and stop time  as 0:30 or if its a portion of a song, then start time as 1:45 and stop time as 2:15 and so.

Step 4: Right click on the song again and select “Create AAC Version”. A second song with the same name but new length should appear right next to the original in iTunes.

Step 5: Right click on the new song and select “Show in Windows Explorer" .The new song will show up in folder  window as an .m4a file. Select it

Step 7: Go back to iTunes and delete the newly created short song.

When asked about deleting the song from iTunes library, please select Delete Song

When asked whether you want to move the selected song to the Recycle Bin or keep it in iTunes media Folder, select “Keep File.” This step is also important.

Step 8: Go back to Folder  and double click on the .m4r file. The ringtone will automatically move to your iTune’s Tone library.

Spice Boat Restaurant in Doha

Had been to Spice Boat yesterday (9th Feb ) and here is my review ..
Got good and bad points to mention and bad goes first..








1. Lack of baby seats(high chairs) :
It is necessary to have at least couple of baby seats, when i inquired , the staff told they have one and it is occupied. I hope they will understand it is difficult to enjoy the food with baby in our hand.
        My expectation was there will a baby seat and so i didn't carry baby stroller. ( bad guess :)

2. Soup was not hot, it was just warm
I have ordered two different soups and both were not enough hot. I hope the staff know soup is supposed to be served and enjoyed as a hot starter and it should not be just warmed.

3. Finger bowls are supposed to be served after the food with out asking.
Especially when the wash/rest rooms are kilometers away from the dining area, we expect to et finger bowls once the plates are takes away .


Now the points who earn brownies..

1.  Food was tasty.
We tried 3 chicken dishes, 1 veg dish and all except one was good.Garlic chicken was not up to the mark.

2. Good ambiance.
One of the posh areas of Doha and the lighting and ambiance inside the restaurant was awesome.

3. CEO's interaction
Mallika chechy was awesome in interacting and  my 1 year old baby was with her for some time.She didn't show any star power or so..

4. Affordable prices
The restaurant offers food at a n affordable prices and we are happy with the bill .


In addition to the good & bad points , i have few suggestions to.

1. It is bit tough to find the place, so if there is a name plate in road or at the entrance of building it will be great.
2. A background light music will obviously change the mood of guests.(Light music in low volume)
3. Add a mix bread basket to the menu. since we all likes different types of bread and if we got option if mixed basket, we all can taste different items.
4. Get a survey from the guests and see how you can improve in each and every corner.


Thats all for now and see how they improve ..

Will update once i visit the place again.
till then enjoy & have fun..
