Pink Pepper Jaipur: A nice ride

Monday, March 5th, 2007

So last month we guys were in Rajasthan for the celebration of our new office at Jaipur. So the whole staff and friends and girlfriends were all there at the Pink Pepper : the fun city bus which moves you around the Jaipur City and offers 4 course meal to the visitor. The food is not that good, but the hospitality is commendable and the overall ride cost 300/- bucks per head (if you wanna enjoy full masti we recommend u to book whole bus as we did). It takes you through Gaurav Towers, University Road, JDA, Birla Temple, Statue Circle, MI Road, Bapu Bazaar, Jauhari Bazaar to Amber Fort. Must see for couples : married and unmarried :)

Helicopter or a Luxury Car

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

A Helicopter manufacturing company called Eurocopter is planning to target the Indian Luxury car market… hah what a news!!!! This company is going to target the luxury car owners, hospitals, hotels and corporate giants and Business Houses to buy a helicopter than a Mercedes Benz, Porsche, or a Lamborghini.

The company claims that India has only 160 civilian helicopters. In the next five years, the country will have about 1,000 helicopters, apart from those used by the armed forces. The best part is Eurocopter will tie up financing for customers to buy their helicopters. Industry sources say that you need to pay an upfront 10 per cent of the cost of the helicopter (the price of an entry level model chopper can begin from Rs 9 crore).

Delhi – Rohtak – Jind – Dariba(Sangroor) – Ludhiana – Dariba - Partna – Bahadurgarh – Delhi

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

After many years, in last two days I traveled in roadways buses so much in one go. I was on marriage of one of my friend. First I booked the ticket Shatabdi Express to Ludhiana directly (Venue of Marriage), but friend called up and strictly invited me to his hometown. It was a very small town of Punjab. Its called as Dariba in Sangroor, Punjab. The complete travel was great for me. Had lot of mast mast experiences. Lot of Sardars, 12 bajey wali harkatey. :D

That was my first visit to that side. I am not allowed to take car for such a long route alone, I plan to go by bus then. I was in short of time so I went to piragarhi, did not waited for direct bus, took the bus for Rohtak, from their it’s the bus for Jind, then I finally got the bus toward Sangroor. By which I went to Dariba around 25 km before main Sangroor. I joined the complete barat. We went to Ludhiana, the venue of function. The marriage arrangement was wonderful, everything went smooth. Next morning after having breakfast I took the bus to Partna from Dariba, from Partna I got the bus to Delhi. I left the bus at bahadurgarh, from where I took the bus to nazafgarh and I am back to home now.

Overall the trip was great. Had lot of wonderful experience. I am happy that I attended the marriage of that friend. He is very good friend of mine, staying most of the time in USA. I met him say after about 3 years.

God give him a happy married life.

Great Salesman in Punjab Raodways

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

As usual one guy entered in bus I thought its going to show the same type of stuff again on sale like chain, watch, wallet, set of pen etc. But I was literally amazed to see his marketing technique. He used it to sale his product for sure.

He came up with bidding option for passengers. He said that here he is going to open the bid for 10 products one by one. He clarified the conditions

1) passengers are going to bid for products with as low as Rs. 10
2) If the last bid is near to the promotion price (on which he is willing to sale ), he will give the item at that price.
3) If last max bid is not near to the promotion price, then he will give assured gift to each bidder.

Now first he picked out so called Ricco Watch worth of Rs. 250, bid start at Rs. 10 and offered a small comb (say worth of 1 Rupee) if nobody closed the deal. First call came of 15, Second of Rs 50 and then no Call. He asked thrice and then on closing that bid gave the combs to both of them.

Now he picked out one watch worth of Rs. 150 and offered a wallet (market worth of Rs. 10-15 approx) for all the bidder if deal don’t get close. First call was of Rs. 15, second of Rs. 20 and third and last of Rs. 25. He immedicated congratulate, the guy who bidded for Rs. 25, handed over the watch to him took Rs. 25 and went out of bus before actually the boy who bidded could realize what happened with him.

See smartly he sold his watch worth of not more then Rs. 10 in Rs. 25 by biding. Which otherwise he would have to give presentation in at least 5-10 buses. I am sure that he might be selling this watch in almost his alternate presentation.

Use your all permutation and combination and see how smart that guy is.

Skoda Fabia or CNG?

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Well, the time is real bad and it’s gonna be worst if our government will not bring down the fuel prices even of large falls in the Crude oil prices. I read the newspaper today and saw the Skoda India is planning to launch the Fabia into the Indian market, technically – the only variant or my favorite Accent CRDi. I would definitely love to have this car, but the dilemma is, shall I go for a Skoda Fabia or any other CNG vehicle in the same segment.

Gurgaon will have CNG stations soon and most of my friends have CNG vehicles and it costs them just 90 paisay a Km with a CNG vehicle!!

Sealing campaign in Delhi : What a mess

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Today some political agencies called up the “Delhi Band”, It was actually the full stop in Delhi daily activities. Not only the shops were closed, masses were on road totally blocking the roads, damaging the public property. At Silampur, an area in Delhi, had lathicharge of police, police opened the fire out there. Two get injured too. And wonderful thing is that in an interview one politician on TV was calling this band activity as totally successful. According to them they were peacefully protesting at Vikas Marg, and coincidentally major riot took place very near to that place. I am asking a question, complete delhi was in protest why this bad event happened in that particular area only.

I ask, Is this the right way to protest against something.
Is violence can make the things right.
