    How is package of 9L for Bengaluru?

    I fail to see any point in your reply apart from the fact that you just wanted to counter reply. Anyways. No company cares about all that stuff... I know what I think about HR guys and why companies hire them. Have more than 10yrs of exp dealing with this stuff. And more than telling horror...

    How is package of 9L for Bengaluru?

    @krishnandu 9L in B'lore v/s 6.3L in your Hometown and own house is a no brainer. Hometown option is unbeatable. Like you said that your appraisal cycle is near. May I suggest you use the offer of 9L to get a better raise from your existing company. Many times employees make hollow threats that...

    +1. Also it was not the first time he cut that corner. A few laps before he did the same. Max Vers. Is just as good and aggressive as he was in Monaco last year. I loved his brilliant overtakes last and year and he did same this year. Sad that he crashed out ... Vettel also missed the podium by...

    [Group Buy] Internet Download Manager - Pay before June 18

    Dont be too hopeful. I talked to a few resllers and none of them could even come close to Rs1000/- forget something better. As of now I would say stick to the overseas reseller and ask them for a better price. In worst case even if they stick to their current $14 USD its much better than...

    [Group Buy] Internet Download Manager - Pay before June 18

    Adorn India is a fail for sure. I talked to that guy yday and his owner is out of the country currently. He checked with the owner and SMSed me a quote of Rs 20700/- for 15 licenses. Today I asked for 30 licenses and he said Rs40100/- for 30licenses. I called and confirmed if he could do better...

    Car & Bike Formula 1 2016 Discussion thread

    I too hate the Indian telecast of the F1 races. No pitwalks no track interviews no press conferences :( Its all so boring. Mainly I miss Ted Kravitz... Karun is not that interesting to listen. And you can hear him slurping when he is talking even on the pit commentary :p Star has got 6 channels...

    Car & Bike Formula 1 2016 Discussion thread

    Loved the race. Probably the first one of this season I enjoyed watching so much. I have been saying how I love Max Verstappen overtaking skills and that guy has lot of potential but to win the race in first attempt with Redbull. That was amazing. Regarding the two Mercedes incident. Lot of hoo...

    Reliance Jio Rollout

    Thats the price for desperation .... I would have paid the same if I had no better options. I remember a few years back BSNL came up with a 6months UL 3G offer for Rs4200/- And that time carrier unlocked 3G dongles were selling like hot cakes on TE. I had one hanging out of my living room window...

But I am few of the rarest people in Pune who get good service from Reliance Broadband (Wireline) I am paying 699/- (Rs800 with taxes) for a 2mbps UL(NO FUP) and 1meg up. Its a ADSL connection. And working great...

    Reliance Jio Rollout

    Available should mean SIM cards are available for purchase without any handsets. Just like any other operator. I wont ever be using failtel but like I said with capped data plans what diff would it make if I use JIO (or any 4G) v/s 3G. Its only a short lived fun.... With our customer base...

    Reliance Jio Rollout

    What good is that wide spread coverage if they are only generating hype about it for more than a year now.???? LYF TV quality does not indicate the quality of JIO agreed but it does kill the hype about it being some revolution or trend setter. Plus even the cost was not proper. A 65" 4K tv from...

    Reliance Jio Rollout

    I agree too. 4G might have other benefits as a technology but do the telcos really want to pass on those to the customer base? There could be some other minor benefits like better battery life than 3G or cost of implementation / upkeeping etc but come what may they will only want to milk the...

    new ac consuming 20% more power.

    @Om Kumar Have you connected the AC directly to the mains or to some voltage stabilizer kind of device? If its not connected directly to the main then some stabilizers use more power than the device which is connected to it. More means considerably more ...

    Reliance Jio Rollout

    The sales guy at Reliance Digital (phoenix mall) was mentioning about free JIO SIM on purchasing the LYF TV or Phones. Went to check out the TV on Sunday. Found VU 4K much better in color reproduction and picture quality. Tried viewing some stills from a USB drive on the LYF TV. Horrible pixel...

    Car & Bike Avenger 220 Street or something else for my needs?

    I love riding bikes and good roads is a luxury. But still doing 270kms almost 6 times a month not the best idea. Also bikes cant be driven in all seasons over such long distances. Why not a small car. equal comfort. better protection from weather elements and other highway issues. and some extra...

    Cycling - An expensive hobby?

    The build quality is just as good as other options in the 15-30k range. Me or my friends have never had any issues so far. I did consider a lot of other option ranging from 12-35k. Depending on who you ask the suggestions will be different. Pros recommended all expensive brands like SCOTT /...
