IFFCO-TOKIO Toll free number does not exist ?! Not so FUNNY.

There is a all new meaning of the word "Customer", it's "Cust" + "mar".
Means one who buys anything always take all "Cust" [means "Pain"] instead of seller and always "mar" [means "Die"].
IFFCO-TOKIO (india) follows the suit here.

I wanted to ask some query about their vehicle insurance so got to know a number from their website, which is 1800 103 5499. But when i dialed it said "THIS NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST!"


Funny - 'coz the number they are putting on the site is not existing.
Not so funny - 'coz if i'd have own a policy and if i need them in emergancy, this is the last thing i'd like to here!!

Reliance broadband Review - Some facts

Some facts, I've come to know about reliance.

- WHEN YOU GIVE 500/- rs. TO RIL GUY, IF YOU DON'T GET YOU CONNECTION, DUE TO ANY PROBLEM [your/their side], FORGET ABOUT YOUR MONEY. AS THERE IS NOWAY YOU CAN CLAIM IT !! EVEN IF YOU CLAIM IT, THEY DONT GIVE IT :) [I've been the victim of this fraud]

- They Promise to give a connection in 3 working days, BUT It's not always that you will receive a connection in 2-3 days, always. I had to wait 25 days for a connection to my office.

- You must Login in/out to reliance portal to access the broadband service, and it is very annoying, and once you get authentication error, you are helpless.

- Always depend on online bills, they stop sending bill after 3-4 months [my case]

- No Doubt about steady and good speed all the time, BUT IT ALSO SUFFERS DISCONNECTION for 1-2 day every second week. BUT AGAIN, CUSTOMER CARE IS HELPFUL THERE.

- WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, THEY BILL FOR MODEM IN LAST SETTLEMENT BILL !! And you need to lodge a request to ask them to collect modem, to get the charge waived !!! Very bad trick.

Bollywood Movies Reviews by "Masand's Verdict" on CNN IBN

masand_667Whenever you are in doubt and not sure whether to spend some bucks on any new Bollywood movie on the floor. Just visit Rajeev Masand's Page on IBNLive.com

rajeev-masandIt's no doubt a pleaser to read/listen Rajeev Masand (CNN-IBN Entertainment Editor) no matter he's complementing good work or ripping off their skin for bad performances.

I have been seeing his show on TV and he's always on the spot stating the points that will make up your mind for any movie he's talking about. he's very good at caching them at there.

when I miss him on TV I used to cache him at IBNLive.com

 

[WAIT WAIT What the hell is that Picture saying ? what's that language?]

{Sorry Guys, this my interpretation of what Rajeev Masand's Page shows me !!

I mean when I open that page, it shows random movies instead of Latest First. That's a problem, I can't get latest reviews, easily from front page !!!

I've tried to interpret the way, they have arranged movies there on the Front Page, in the picture above !!!

Hey IBNLive.com Webmaster, Are you listening ?! }

Desktop RSS Feeds reader (online/offline). Nice Google Reader alternative.

feed-reader Feedreader is a freeware desktop based RSS feed reader software for Windows that I think is the nice Google reader alternative. People using Google Reader to read RSS Feeds may find this software very handy.

What I like most is that using FeedReader you can read RSS Feeds offline too !! Just keep the software running, when you are connected to Internet, Feedreader automatically downloads updates from your favourite Web sites. It'll Sync all feeds from sources and then you can read them offline too !!

You can see in the image above that Feedreader’s interface is simple and easy-to-use.

Google being a new fashion statement !!

It's amazing the see that people are using Google, the name as a fashion statement to earn good publicity.

google-saree-satya-paul-smallJust got this link from net, and it surely proves that google means good business via great publicity!!

There Satya Paul, a fashion designer from India has got a new Saree (traditional Indian female wear). It has got Google search results page printed.

Well I was wondering what is the best idea for Google clothing.

This google-saree-satya-paul or This google-pam ???

you decide !!

Fastest Browser on earth -> Opera 9.50 <- You will Go Fida !!

opera-browser-9.5 Opera has been my favourite since last 1 year (sorry FireFox 2 !! I don't miss you much !!) and the bonding strengthens when last night I discovered the all new Opera 9.50

Let me tell you my encounters with difference browsers.

ie-5I started using IE, it was not love at first sight, well i was a kid then !!! any ways thanks bill uncle for giving us all buggy IE to cope up with all popup (I some time hit a porno web site and with in seconds my Win95 got a restart, just like that.)

maxthon-myie-2 When I matured, my taste for browser also matured and i found MyIE2, now called Maxthon. it's been a long affair with that great piece of software, it saved me lot of time, and got me some credit also when I presented my MD of the company to the all new TABBED Browsing !! It was fun !!

firefox-2 Then I saw faster and All new firefox, well it was irresistible and must try. eventually we have been together since firefox 2.x; I left it because I was fed up with slowness and memory it required, I had to kill it after every 30-45 min of browsing. It was painful.

opera-browser Then came the almighty opera, it was not so smooth ride at first, but it happens to be like that with new gal/bike/browser I suppose !! since then it's been a great joyride with opera.

Firefox 3 created a much hype and blogs and tech pundits are going ga ga over it. But in my opinion opera is the ultimate choice for the best browsing experience.

One has to see it to believe it. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed !!
