Whats your name sir ? !!

"Hello sir, I am calling on behalf of Tata-AIG. Can I have few minutes of your time?"
"And that would be regarding?"
"About some products of ours".
"I am busy, please give me a call some time tomorrow."
"Okey sir. May I know your name sir??"

WTF?

So these tele-marketers just pick up any no. randomly and call up. Without even knowing the name of the person, forget about having other relevant information of the person they are calling up. Some time back I had registered my no. in NDNC Registry. Now it was time to make to complaint to my telecom service provider. I called the customer care and lodged a complaint against violation of NDNC service.
If you are constantly bugged by different companies for takeing credit cards/loans/insurance policies and what not , it is time to register your cellphone no. to NDNC Registry and putting an end to all unsolicited commercial communnication .

(Don’t) Be a Balti!!

Kyunki jo balti nahi hote hain o chori karte hain.
Blatant plagiarism on Ibibo.Check out this link and now go through my old posts. This is bloody bull yaar !
I tried to contact the author of the post , but there is no way I can contact him without registering with the site and proving how big a balti I’m. I have sent my concern to the owner of the site using contact us link. Lets see what they have to say about the same.

E-Zone Sucks !

Visit E-Zone only to check out products of various brands and their prices. Once you have made up your mind based on the features you are looking for in a particular product, just get out the shop and visit regular old timers electronics shop to buy the stuff. Treat E-Zone only a place to compare features of a product and perhaps prices too. Coz , even if you save few bucks here they have pathetic after sales support as in delivery itself. Once the money is paid they think there part is done with. You will not receive the delivery of the goods as promised.
I bought a tv, refrigerator and a food processor from this place. Surprisingly they did deliver tv and refrigerator on time but missed to deliver food processor. Then started endless calls to ezone. With every call all I here is by tomorrow the stuff would be delivered. As they say, tomorrow never comes. I needed to go back and threaten them to get the delivery next day.
Once bitten twice shy!! In my case I repeated the mistake of going back to them for buying water purifier. They do have all available brands for the product and that’s where they stand out. But I wish they do take bit effort to service that as well. So I bought the water purifier and they promised that somebody would come within 48 working hours to install it. That day being Saturday 48 hours means coming Tuesday. Fair enough. It was only after three such Tuesdays and n numbers of calls to them the installation was done.
Buying a product does not stops with paying for it. The whole buying experience start with the visit to the store and not until you have started using it the involvement of the company ends. So having competitive price (I doubt if they are really competitive) is one part of it. Any company needs to ensure that they have support for customer till they start using the product and also after sale proper service. Only being cost effective does not suffice. You have to support it with equally good support and service. Unless E-Zone does that , my verdict is E-Zone sucks.

By the way we are almost done with setting up our home :)

You Are Invited!!

It all started around seven months back, when our parents exchanged our phone numbers and then passed it on to us. Yes people , marriage was definetly on cards. As things would have it, early may this year Ruchi and I had our respective phone numbers.

We spoke couple of times over the phone before we decided to meet in person. And one fine day, around mid may, I landed to Pune to meet her. We spoke in length at Barista , and by the time it was time to say tata , both of us knew that we had found the one. Yes , we had found someone to grow old with , and share the set of artificial teeth when we are old.
Next six months were roller-coster ride for us. With all roothna-manana to sweet nothings. From our dreams to all our nightmares.All our similarities to differences. All success and failures.All apprehension and reassurance.Irritation and affection. We had it all. Amidst rising phone bill, late night phone calls and leg pulling of colleagues we got engaged on Aug 4th.
Come Jan 19th and high phone bills , long hours spend on phone and early morning spicejet flight to mumbai (enroute to Pune) , will be history.


That is the day Ruchi and I are tying nuptial knot at Ranchi. Haldi, Mandap (on 17th Jan) and Dhritdhari (on 18th Jan) preceeds main marriage ceremony and will at my residence in Jamshedpur.Join our celebration of beginning of our new life together.
