Khulla Panga

I was experiencing starting problems with my baby (Hyundai Accent CRDI) which is now 3 years or 1,25,000 Km old and still running like a horse in a Polo game. I contacted the Hyundai fellows told me tha the vehicle has a engine back compression problem and got the Piston rings, sleeve, Pistons and almost all the oils (engine, break, gear, steering, coolant) and the filters (diesel, oil and air) needs to be replaced.

The overall service took 15 days and 70000/- bucks but now the car is like performing better than the new one. Now I need to add an Extra 50 Paisay while calculating the KMPL of the car.

Now Subhiksha Stores are there in Market. After Vishal, Big Bazaar, Mega Mart etc. and now Subhikhsa is in Market. Retail giants are coming in Market and ultimately end users are getting the profit

Prices of vegetables at Subhiksha are low then other vegetable shops are good localities, Groceries have big discounts, and Mobile Market at Subhiksha is wonderful. You can find the mobile worth Rs. 1200 to N-Series of Nokia that’s too either at good discount or great EMI schemes.

Subhiksha Stores are performing well till now, lets see how its going to work for long term.

Update on Subhiksha :

Now the bad thing about Subhiksha is their staff. They are not well trained, dont have good communication skills. They dont have the updated knowledge about the product they are selling. They does not seems like even a salesperson. The common shopkeepers are much better then them. This is the third Subhiksha Store I visited. The condition is same everywhere. If Subhikhsa want to survive in market, I suggest them not to try cost cutting on side of salespersons. The quality of sale team should be very good.

I am happy to glad to announce that Sunil has now joined our Real Estate network and will have the new office at the National Highway to Jaipur

From my past experience in the Real Estate Business in Gurgaon, the most important thing that one needs to run the business successfully is PATIENCE. I have come across investors and agents in the market who are ready to buy a property, some are bullish about it and for some of them, it doesn’t matter at all (maybe because it is their negotiation skill). But an agent has to be keep calm in handling the stuff in both the situations. I had a real problem in that as I confused it with an IT company where you need to have well defined targets and have to manage them in time, but I don’t think that it is possible with the Real Estate Consultancy.

I can say that for a company to run successfully, the most important thing is discipline.

Discipline of Timing
Discipline of Food
Discipline of Work Area
and most importantly

You have to disciplined first before teaching it to your staff.

Ironically we still have one domain with us booked by net4domains.com. Today I was in the process to renew that. I was glad to know that they are giving free .info domain with any .com or .net renewal. I filled that option too. I opted for credit card payment mode. Got the reference no. for my domain renewal process and get the prompt to pay online. I clicked on pay and it took me to some error page that Transaction page was not available or something like that. Forget it could be some technical problem.

I thought that now I have one more option to send a cheque or cash to net4domains against this renewal. I filled one sales form for some enquiry at http://sales.net4domains.com. And great I got the thank you page. You can see what was the format of that page.

Net4domains providing web hosting, domain name registrations, and other web based solutions and this is the condition of this company.

God help them

Are Gurgaon and Delhi prepared for flood?

I was on a Business promotion trip in Delhi. I just had to visit 3 places, Okhla Industrial Area, Kalka Ji and Mahipalpur. It was rainy weather in the city right from the morning and it started raining be afternoon.

After the rain started I had completed the Okhla’s work, but I took me 2 hours to reach Kalkaji from Okhla which is merely 10 Km from Okhla. From Okhla I took a straight root Mahipalpur via R K Puram and domestic airport. It took me 3 hours from R K Puram to the Airport itself. What the Hell!! And this just happened because of the HEAVY water logging near the airport and flyover construction going on on the way. Still not over, I got a jam at the Iffco Chowk in Gurgaon and then the insane Jharsa flyover.

If this has happened due to the 4 rainy hours in both the cities, then what will happen if it rains for 4 days? Are we prepare for flood? I feel absolutely not, coz Gurgaon itself has very poor water disposal system and especially the new Gurgaon area.

Eureka Forbes: Pathetic and Insane Service!!!!

I have been using the “Aqua guard” (which I think is the most successful product that the company has ever launched) from the last 10 years when I shifted to Gurgaon. After getting nice services from the manufacturing company called “Eureka Forbes” for this product, I am now cursing the company for their pathetic services.

As I have been telling on my blog that my home is undergoing renovation and especially the modular kitchen, I had to remove Aqua Guard and the RO water treatment plant for the renovation work. My mom called up the Aqua Guard service centre in Gurgaon and asked her to get the shifting done. The lady talking on the other side told us that it would be done next day. The guy didn’t come the till now (on the next to next day).

Update : more unsatisfied customer of Eureka Forbes like me.

So,

Our great great Corrupt Netaji, Shri Shri Mohit is now finally getting married in April. After a number of ashleel affairs…..

All corrupt netas and bureaucrats invited ….

Long live netaaji,
Long live Bhabhiji,
and Long live Corruption…..

Jai Netaji.

So, the real estate thing continues…

We had some good deals in the past months and still better deals in pipeline. We had many bad experiences in the near past. Sometimes the sellers backed out and sometimes the buyers. Its a sellers market in Gurgaon nowadays, property going up and up and nobody knows that where it will end. Well, good for us as we get more bulls in the market who are ready to invest millions and millions of rupees in thier pocket. But the irony of the business is that when if comes to negotiation, then the buyers and sellers having millions in their pockets breaks the deals just for Rs. 5000/-. How Foolish…
