Driving Under Influence of Mobile Phone

I fully agree that it is not safe to talk on the cell phone while driving, the reason is you loose concentration and second you are not in total control over the vehicle as at least one hand is away from the steering. At the same time the government is taking this too far by [...]

Delhi Electricity Problem

Delhi had a power shortage every year in the summer, this has been a tradition for decades so much so that i could quite easily call it a summer festival Hindustan Times came out with a full page information section on electricity situation, what to do, what not to do and how to save electricity.

The World Cup Drama

Honestly the Indian team’s performance is nothing more than a bad movie, you paid good money to watch but the performance of the players was so much below par that you want your money back. Think about it… new players are recruited and if they take a few wickets or just happen to have long [...]

Bad Roads Worse Traffic

Turn on your speaker volume for the video! Roads leading to G.D Goenka and Bhatnagar International Schools in Vasant Kunj are an absolute mess. If bad roads were not a problem enough, then you should visit when the schools gets over, it’s like a commuters worst nightmare.

Vasant Kunj is a Dump

Below is a cut & paste of the privacy policy i read on cleartrip.com. To know just how much “Cleartrip is fanatical about protecting your privacy” , [...]

Is Delhi Metro World Class?

Who ever thinks that Delhi Metro is world class must be living in the 18th century. I have been hearing this world class crap for such a long time that it’s getting on my nerves now. I would have happily called Delhi Metro “World Class” if the project had been started in the 1990′s, however [...]

HDFC Net Banking : Round The Clock?

Maybe i don’t know the meaning of “Round The Clock” or maybe it has changed after HDFC bank wrote their own English Dictionary but to me “Round The Clock” means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a years. I went online to check my bank account… and i got “Due [...]

This Time It's Shaadi.com

If you read my article on SimplyMarry.com you will know exactly what i am taking about. Apparently shaadi.com is also boasting of the same statement “India’s Most User Friendly Matrimonial Website – JuxtConsult.” Something is fishy here. How come 2 matrimonial websites are saying that they are India’s Most User-Friendly ? Something has to be [...]
