Gurgaon Power … No power

Friday, January 11th, 2008

The problem of electricity in Gurgaon is getting worse day by day. I don’t know when the occupancy of properties in Gurgaon will increase after the residential projects will complete on Sohna Road and Golf course road, then from where will get the power.

I wish some private player should think of coming here coz we (at least I) are not bothered to pay extra for electricity but it has to be uninterrupted.

Wi Fi Office

No Cables from now. Our office is now Wi Fi enabled with 512 Kbps of speed to 9 computers and working better than the messy cable networks.

Mileage!!!! Talk CNG

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Well while our visit to Chokhi Dhani Resort, we have tried the CNG kit in our new Jaguar. I got an average of 96 Paisay per KM. Performance is almost the same as petrol coz I managed to run it at 135 Kmph. This is good man…. but the worst part was that we could not find a CNG outlet at Jaipur. Rajasthan has only LPG stations. Overall the nice trip and a great value for money, at least you are driving a luxury car at the running cost of a bike.

Cleartrip.com cheaper than Makemytrip.com

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Well, just got a ticket for Lucknow booked in Rs. 500 cheaper at Cleartrip.com than what I was getting at Makemytrip.com, why don’t the airlines offer discount directly to the customers than booking seats at a higher price.

Bank of India : No Relationship No Banking

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

So, here’s the story of me and Bank of India. My father has many bank accounts with “Bank of India” since 1984. He forced me to have my account with them too since we have a good relationship with them and that we the biggest mistake I did.

I opened an account with them for my Handicrafts Export Business. I had a good amount of sale and got payment in US Dollars from my Canadian Buyer. Since the Cheque was from Canada, then Forex Department THOUGHT that the cheque is in Candian Dollars and they remitted the amount in Canadian Dollar, that dispute wasn’t over and a new thing happened, they lost a cheque of mine of a fair good amount from Australia, then found it after 15 days and then it was sent for collection and the third dispute over interests. The story is not over, there are many more things going on still now.

Now I have finally decided to shift to some other bank. Well, I know that for exporters, this is not a good time for Business, but the bank is the one who can be a real culprit and can happen to be a mosquito in the game to suck your blood.

Reliance BlackBerry : Stupid phone

Friday, October 12th, 2007

I am so fed up with the stupid models from Reliance communication that I have no choice but to pick up a Nokia 2505 for me and my wife. I just heard that Reliance have got Blackberry in the their range, but when I saw one, it looked more like a toy rather than a phone, have a look at the pic that the company has shown here and do visit the Reliance web world to see the TOYS priced between Rs. 22000 - Rs. 35000/- ONLY.

Reliance Mobile: Handsets no good.

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I have been waiting for a decent handset from Reliance coz I am fed up of using the stupid LG lower end handset. This is company is really not concerned with the higher end customers, the latest high end handsets are :

LG Chocolate (review not at all good)

Motorola Motorazr (Priced at 12,500/-, not at all worth it)

Nokia 6280 (users says that there is some problem with the display, priced at 15,500/-)

Got the news a few days back that Reliance Telecom is coming up with Blackberry in a month, If the features suits to me, I’ll have to take one, since I have no choice.
