Your Security Is In Your Own Hands

We always think that nothing bad can happen to us. We hear stories and believe that we are insured against everything bad that can happen to others. But this is not true. I experienced this myself when I was away from my home for a business trip and someone broke into my house. My neighbors informed me and Police the next morning and I had to rush back leaving many things in-between. It was a very traumatic experience because I had lost almost everything from jewellary, clothes, furniture, electronic gadgets, and even kitchen utensils. Following up with Insurance Company, Police and helping on with investigations took another three months of my career. In the end I had lost too much than what I had procured in last 3 years of my career.

I got the lesson of my life. I have realized it completely that the protection of my home is in my own hands. A security system from an established company would have saved me from the agony and pain. I immediately opted for a wireless security system. The Platinum Package from Protect America was my natural choice. The package comprises features that include talking control panels, 20 entry points, internal siren, one button arming among other state of art benefits. They also have a toll free number 877-470-2751 for their customers to provide immediate assistance. Moreover since I placed my order through Toll Free number, I got 2 keychain remotes free with my order.
Remember, Your security is in your own hands. A right step at right time can save you from lot of problems in future.



                                                             

LG India Cheating its Customers

How you would comprehend 3 Free Services Offer. Certainly you would think that each free service can be availed in consecutive three summer seasons. Afterall you need a service only once before the start of the summer season. SO when LG India claims 3 free services don’t get very excited. All they mean is that you need to avail all the 3 free services within one year.

I just remember the way LG 2 ton split AC was pitched to me along with the promise of 3 free services. Like all other consumers I also didn’t bothered to read behind the lines. End result, The Company has made a fool out of me like they might be making of other customers. This also shows that they are not confident that their product would behave normal after one year of sale.
While we never faced any problem with our windows AC’s but the 2 ton split AC has taken out all the excitement. It all started when an AC bought in May/June last year was not working fine this season. We started to book our compliant in LG service centre but as promised we never not got any sms or call. My father than followed up and after around 20+ phone calls managed to get hold of someone at supervisor level. A service engineer was sent to our home and he told us that all gas has been leaked out.
Since I lost my bill (my folder was stolen) I asked him to get the purchase date form their records. But they were not ready to do that. The service engineer only told me that 3 services are available only in first year and after that you are on your own. According to them they would now log a complaint to other department and it is on them whether they would consider it in free period or not. Even with serial number they are not ready to give us the date of sale.
Now after getting fooled by one of the biggest brand name in India “LG India” we are waiting for the next batch of service engineers to come. One day has already passed with no response. We have been told that it will cost us between Rs. 2000-3000 for the complete process or even more. They were almost sure that since we lost our bill, there is no way anyone can help us.

Also an additional observation- The guy who installed our AC was from LG India. He seemed to be a novice and took 9 hours to install one unit. We were pretty sure that he will do some damage and seems that he has done his work. Now no one from LG India would listen to us and all their promises of excellent service has proved to be another market gimmick. Their marketing teams devise royal ways to fool customers and end result is what has been happening to us.

MagNext Virtual – The Next Revolution

I love playing games online. They are a great way to release the stress and have some fun. One of the great sites for playing games online is MagNext virtual from MEGA Brands. The concept is different and the graphics are just amazing. Most of the online games are the version of toys available through the stores which include iCoaster, Soheron and many others.





Adventure starts the moment you log into their system. Your avatar is a magnext ball which you can paint or design through interactive interface. There is a map available in the mini world which will help you navigate through the arena. You can either play solo games or can join other player in an online face to face competition. Of all the games available iCoaster is one of the amazing stress busters available. In iCoaster you have to put the tracks for your ball to roll along. Success depends upon the number of levels you can cross and time which you can save at each level. You earn Magz at each level which can be used to buy things for the Magnext ball. My favorite accessory is electron action that makes little electric circles spin around the ball for few seconds.

In case of multiplayer games you can play the game with other members. You need to challenge the members to play against you. You can also chat with other members and make them your friends through a very interactive system available. You get rewarded for every such action in the form of more Magz. This is a pure fun and excellent way to spend your time. An excellent stress buster and something I recommend to all my readers.

A sale offering 75-80% off of everything is unheard of and something one should definitely check out. Sears sale items extend to not only women’s apparel, but also apparel for men and children. As a matter of fact there are clearance items for the entire family. In this economy, this sale is an absolute steal.



Due to hectic schedule I was not purchase a Jacket this winter. I started my search at Sears website by signing up for email which gave me $10 worth of discount coupon. After about 2 to 3 searches I decided to pick faux-suede bomber jacket mainly because of its rugged look. See the screen shot above. I am sure you would like it too. At 80% off I could not have asked for more. When fall or winter comes they will not be discounted at these prices and hence it is a wise decision to stock them up now. The prices are so low that it is impossible to get this deal ever again. So, if you are looking for a good quality and trusted brands, this is the place to go. Grab this opportunity before it is too late.




                                                             

Comparison of Home Loan India- Axis Bank Home Loan Scores Big Over HDFC Home Loan - A Comparison

Comparison of Home Loan India- HDFC has finally reduced the rate as was also predicted in HDFC may reduce PLR by 0.5% in April.

Through a series of posts like
HDFC cheating its customers by not passing the benefit of low interest rates
HDFC Home Loan - Prepayment Penalty increased from 2% to 3% (This appeared in this Blog much earlier than regualr media)

I have tried to voice my opinion on home loan given by HDFC. Also when I took loan from Axis Bank I was so much harassed by their process that I had written a big post on their procedure and mechanism. Axis Bank- UTI Bank- Home Loan- Hidden Charges and Frauds

Almost an year and half down the line, I can categorically say that Axis Bank has scored big over HDFC Home Loan on many parameters. The main are
1) Loan procedure- Bad in Axis Bank as it gets handled by their DSA’s. Good in HDFC as they have their own workforce. When you go to construction site you get to meet the DSA’s of Axis Bank and not their workforce.
2) Customer Service- Very Good in Axis bank. They have replied to all my emails and have sent me requested documents in short period. In HDFC my emails have never been answered and documents have never been mailed when requested through email. Even queries posted in their portal are still unanswered. More humiliating was when their Noida Branch head requested one of the person to travel 50 odd kms to their branch in order to get reversal of Rs. 64/- wrongly charged in his account.
3) Pre Payment Charges- Nil in Axis bank. Yes even if you transfer loan to other bank it is nil. HDFC has recently raised these charges to 3% for transfer to other bank. HDFC Home Loan - Prepayment Penalty increased from 2% to 3%
4) Rate change for new and old customers- There is no concept of new and old in Axis Bank. They change the rate equally for all customers. My rate was from 11% to 10% in 2008. It was again raised to 11% but has been decreased again in line with what they offer to new customer. HDFC on other hand charge different rate not only to new and old customers but also there is difference between old customers too. While I was being charged 11% one of my friends was charged 11.5% during same duration on quarterly basis.
5) Rate reset- This is on monthly basis in Axis bank while it is quarterly basis in HDFC. While this does not make difference but when rate gets low you tend to get the benefit immediately.
6) Portal access – Available in HDFC and not in Axis bank.

As of today I feel more comfortable with Axis bank than HDFC. HDFC has big reputation but its action does not reflect its stature at all. Public Sector Bank like SBI are giving them hard competition.

The above are my own personal views. Since the service varies from person to person based on their history this post in no way claim any recommendation to buy and ignore any of the service. The readers are requested to consult their advisors or take informed decision based on their understanding and experience. I am for now happier with AXIS Bank and thought to give it thumbs up through my post.

Please leave your comments to help me continue post on such issues.

Amazing Phenomenon- Dolphins Blowing Bubbles

You have to see it to believe it. Dolphins are actually blowing the bubbles in the water and then playing with those bubbles. Their elegant move is complemented by the joyful acts especially when they whisk past the bubbles. You must be lucky if you have seen this phenomenon in the brand new video that just aired on ABC’s World News with Charles Gibson. If not, you need not worry because you can check out www.DolphinBubbles.com to witness the experience of dolphin bubbles yourself.





Dolphins are very elegant, graceful and intelligent creatures. There are many aquariums in the world which gives you an opportunity to play with the Dolphins but my favorite is SeaWorld in Orlando. It gives you an opportunity to be closer to nature. It has a team of professionals who makes your experience truly memorable. The more I read about it, the more I am attracted to visit this place again. This is on the must do list for our upcoming trip. Most important is that the kids would love the experience to see the Dolphins perform in front of their eyes. This is the best gift which parents can give to their children and I am happy to be one of them.






                                                             

HDFC cheating its customers by not passing the benefit of low interest rates

Today inflation touched the historic low of 0.44%. This was in line with the expectation considering the high inflation period we saw in the previous year. Home Loan companies were smart enough to increase the rate with every move of RBI but the scenario is different when it comes to reduction of rates by RBI. HDFC which is king of home loan market has been among the slowest one to reduce the rate. Till now it has been riding on its reputation but in recent days it has more been exposed?

Many existing customers was recently told that pre-payment penalty is 3% but when it faced a lot of criticism in media it quickly changed its policy and made it mandatory for new customers. Many customers have not yet received reply on its queries related to shift of their home loan. The mail remains unanswered and it seems no one in HDFC is willing to talk.

HDFC till date was using its market leadership position to acquire the customer. Its rate was stable but the main fact is that the existing customers are suffering both in terms of customer service and their greed. While whole of markets has reduced rate, including LIC housing Finance by 75 bps, HDFC has literally kept quiet in this matter. People in HDFC are paying different rates and it is not consistent at all. The rates are way above 11% to 12% and repeated queries by customers are ignored.

This can be a safe strategy by HDFC wherein they have parked their money in safe but less interest yielding investments and are covering up the lost part through their customers. If this is the case then why the customer has to suffer. They should better know how to manage money.

In comparison my loan from AXIS bank is doing pretty good. They respond to my queries quickly. They reduce the rate in line with new customers i.e. they have only one rate both for new and old customers. The most important thing is that they don’t have any pre-payment penalty even if you transfer loan to other bank.

Monika Bedi act was complete Disappointment

I dedicated a complete post Monika Bedi is favorite in Big Boss to Monica with hope that this actress has all ingredients required within a winner. But I was proved wrong and was disappointed after her act in show. Few points which I did not like about her are

1) She seemed to be beauty without brain.
2) All time she was concerned if Rahul is trying something on her. She was seemingly roaming around as if she was a Juliet.
3) She was not seen doing any household work at all.
4)Sitting idle she was not doing anything constructive at all.
5) Whenever she was talking, it was in low voice. Many time she was avoiding microphone also. Though her intention was to prevent being bad, it gave severe blow to her image.
6) She did not tried to be herself. Competition was too much on her mind.
7) She seemed to be Living for rahul only and this was counted much in favor of rahul then her.
8) She did not scored point anywhere. All the time she seemed to be thinking what next with Rahul, who is thinking what about her. Nothing worked for her.
9) She became fool and thought Raja and Ashu are nice people. That shows how easy it is to make her fool.

I am not sure how much she earned but Golden opportunity has been lost.

From three people which have been eliminated Sanjay was best till now. Rakhi was much worse then Monika.

Domain Registration is Must for Confidence

Its been a long time I have been blogging but the one thing which has been pinching me for quite a long time is having my own domain name. Though many blogs start from website offering free domains but they don't have a clear name which can inspire the confidence of your readers. Having free website from blogger or wordpress is quite common to start with but problems really start to occur when you get famous but see domain as deterrent in your progress.

However there are many aspect of Domain registration which you should consider while opting for it.

Domain registration is not an easy task especially when almost all domains are seemed to be sold out. You have to be innovative and use right mixture in order to come up with proper keywords. There are many tools which help you find the variations and you can use the mixture to get to some impressive name. Also you can go ahead with some unique concept or your own name in case you feel strongly about it.

You need readers which are confident about your product and service and own domain name is one of parameter which will influence the decision making process.

Who is Big Boss Next Victim

Sanjay Nirupam made a peaceful exit yesterday Night. First day of the contest and his name was nominated along with Raja Chaudhary. As week passed Sanjay has started to become famous especially because of controversy that surrounded him and sambhavna.

Clearly Raja seemed to be the first one to go but Sanjay name was surprise to me. Raja has been quiet and looked quite dumb and it seemed he would take whole month or so to utter a single word or get up from his sleep. Sanjay on other hand was seen atleast mixing up with other members in Big Boss house.

So what actually happened and why Sanjay was selected....no kudos for answering this...because of votes. Yes votes and who can actually vote in favor of him or against him. Lets talk of two cases.

1) Sanjay well wisher could not vote enough to save him or being a politician everything around him is so superficial that people commit but do not deliver.

2) Sanjay political adversaries did not want him to get famous and voted for Raja instead. Yes TV is big medium to get popular. How many of us has seen our local politician and if we get a chance to see them on tv then recalling the name is not difficult. He has indeed got a face now which he can milk in next elections that are just around the corner.


I may be wrong in my assessment but I believe strongly in point2 above. General public has bad image of raja and he never did anything extra ordinary in these 5 to 6 days. On other hand no one knew Sanjay and there was no reason to vote for raja in order to eliminate him.

Nevermind Sanjay, you got enough momentum to encash in your next elections.

This is just my analysis and I am in no way related to any political party. I don't even know Sanjay is from which State........cheers!!!!!!!!


So comment on who you think would be next victim in last week of august and you could get somethig exciting from me in your Inbox.

Monika Bedi is favorite in Big Boss

Big Boss started with Bang and has slowly started its journey towards top of charts. While part 1 had its own charm, part 2 is also slated to be a blockbuster. The mix of contestant is very rich but apart from that there certainly are some contestant which are very weak. While there certainly are some new faces which are not so famous but you can certainly see some surprises.

Among all the contestants Monika Bedi seems to be the toughest contender. Quiet and seemingly cool, this former actress is looking very decent and has emerged as one of the favorites in this contest. This reality show is not easy because more than fun its more of tough and traumatic experience which brings out the real inside you. Remember how you responded or felt bad when the power is off for more than 4 hours or their is no water supply..........the inner devil comes out and you feel like just shouting and yelling at everyone. This would be the feeling that one would get in coming days and it would be too tough for anyone to survive. Monika Bedi as gone through more trouble in her life and this show can be a cake walk for her. Sometimes life make you so hard that small things just don't matter and Big Boss would be one of them for her.

Though my presumption is based on her past but no one can guess if she would have been much stronger than this before too. Whatever may be the truth but this cute lady is stealing the charm at this moment and we hope no amount of conspiracy can put her up for nomination and even if that happens public would definately vote in her favor.
