And That Aint You !!

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! Stumbled upon this quote from Rocky Balboa .

{(14 - 11) != 2} !!

Nor (11-8 ) is equal to 2. Stupid!!

Whats Your Name Sire ? !!

"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.

Customer Care !!

In continuation with previous post , I saw contrast in services provided by E-Zone (the seller) and Eureka Forbes , Whirlpool (the actual products). I assume that it was fault of E-Zone that they didn't inform Eureka Forbes of the our buy , and hence delay from their side. But once aware of purchase they immediately sent a person to install the purifier. And this guy did a great job. They even followed it up by calling and inquiring about installation and satisfaction of service. At the other end I also got call from Whirlpool for proper installation and working of refrigerator. They called me up quite some time to ask for my convenient time so that they can come down and demonstrate. That is how you create good feeling for your customer. E-Zone , take a clue from them.

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...

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 4...

Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!!

What a man Richard P Feynman , 1965 Physics Nobel laureate , was. As Hans Bethe , another Nobel laureate mentions " There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great things, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough. Then there are magicians, and you can habe no idea how they do it. Feynman was a magician. " Few quotes from the book of same title as the title of this post: Be explicit. You can not just hope that I've cought on by osmosis. :) The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that.

Everybody needs help sometime!!

Even Spiderman does. Spidey 3 turns out to be okeyish type. Watch if you are a fan of Spidey!!

At last. For very long, as long as I have known Viswanathan Anand as Indian chess player at international level, he has been no. 2 player in international chess. Finally in the latest list of FIDE ranking he gains the title. Congartulations Vishy!!
