Go Beyond Lighting A Candle!!

A candlelight vigil , as described by Wikipedia, is an outdoor assembly of people carrying candles, held after sunlight. And this is in vogue . There was this unfortunate terror attack in Mumbai and we all saw public outcry and their angst against political establishment. Every citizen of this country started wanting to do something for his country. But what can an individual do? Oh wait; there is this novel idea of a candlelight vigil. A symbolic solidarity for victims - of Mumbai terror attack or Jessica Lal . So we lit a candle, join people in-mass and that’s it. Our part is done. We feel content. At least we joined the peace march. We did our bit. Then we, The people of India , go to hibernation till something else happens. All this is good. At least we still have some feelings left of our country and countrymen. But this is not it. We need to go beyond just lighting a candle. Otherwise that is just hypocrisy. Or what else you say when you see people not bothering to even stop whe

And We Stand United !!

In paying tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in fighting the Mumbai terror. We all deeply mourn the loss their families we as nation have suffered. This is heartening though to know there are still few who don't care for their lives even when they are at the line of fire when they are doing their duty. The India salutes you all. May your soul rest in peace. Amen!!

What Next !!

Lets face it, our current government has been a complete failure in tackling the securities issues. And intelligence department,, huh,, is complete farce. I know a person working with IB , claiming that the department runs on paper clippings, news articles and its source of information are media coverages. Even if you take that with a pinch of a salt, that is like WTF?.We need complete revamp of intelligence system.Not to forget about change in help at home department. Some news paper rightly commented that Shivraj Patil is the most incompetent home minister ever. Home , foreign , defence and finance ministry all need some dynamic and aggressive leaders. Not to miss the prime minister. All these guys needs balls to take some decision above from party politics. Do they have in them to take some decision and stand by it , similar to testing nuke?? Thats for government , lets look inward at ourselves, we the people of India. Proud to be an Indian?? For what ?? The poverty , the backwa

I Am Scared !!

Yes,I am scared about safety,my safety,safety of my family,safety of my neighbor.Who is responsible for our safety? I don't want to be another victim of a blast or a bullet. Who will ensure safety of each and every citizen of this country? Its gross , its outrageous. Whatever happened in the Mumbai. An event can change the whole course of life for somebody. Now is that time for India. Life will not be same again for us, Indians. We have to stop being indifferent, we were not being tolerant. We were indifferent. There is no Mumbai spirit. People were just indifferent. It didnt happen to me, thank God. Next day everything is normal. God damn it!! How can one ignore what happened in trains, and continue with one's daily life as if nothing had happened. That is not tolerance for God's sake. That is indifference to reality. As long as I am not directly affected that is fine. I dont care what happened yesterday and carry on with my own life. That is escapism. Turn back face

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
