I have a question, possibly answered before but can't browse 100 pages ? If I don't activate Prime and don't recharge, will the SIM stop working ? I plan to give it to my parents after a few months when I go home but don't want to waste any money on it as I'm not using it.

Well, then they wouldn't be able to generate their revenues. Their whole business model depends on headcount X hourly rate charged to clients. They don't give a single damn for quality of work. The whole idea is to hire thousands so that they can charge the clients a lot expecting a very small %...

Looks like Bangalore plans got updated as well. But as usual we get shafted - FUP are half of HYD and post FUP speed is still 512kbps.

Tried to pay online for booking HP gas cylinder, 4 attempts failed. I tried both netbanking as well as debit card. The payment gateway was sbi e-pay so no surprise I guess.

@d33p Buddy, if you want to look for conspiracy, you can find it everywhere. Trust me on this, I was born and brought up in Bengal and read a lot of literature and history, that song does not praise British crown in anyway. @Lord Nemesis That translation is not accurate but I don't really blame...

Forming opinion based on YouTube videos is not a good idea. I have read Anandamath ( in its original literature ) which is the source of the song "Vande Mataram" (not Matram). I am well aware of the contexts as well as the literal meaning of both the songs. While it is true that "Vande Mataram"...

@Lord Nemesis Not sure where you got that idea ! It doesn't sound anything like a praise to Queen or the British crown.

E series IEMs sound significantly different than the P series. I'd suggest trying any E series if one of your friends has it. KZ is like Xiaomi of IEMs, they produce some great VFM ear phones as per head fi users but I haven't personally used them. You can try the Sennheiser CX180 but it doesn't...

I got the Soundmagic ES18s last week. Sounds pretty good for rock and EDM . Bass is tight and punchy , micro-phonics is tolerable. Build quality is good enough for a 599 Rs iem.

^ I think this is a well known strategy. Just the other day I read somewhere that there are 400 registered political parties which never contested in a single election.

So finally got one JIO connection for my parents. I was surprised to see around 25-30 people at the Reliance Digital center. Only one person was giving out and collecting and verifying forms, I pity that guy. I followed his instructions and was done in about half an hour. Got the connection...

Thanks, I'll check it out then.

Is the story very similar ? I loved the original so gave this one a miss.

I believe you can manually set a lower daily spend limit on a debit card for icici, at least for the titanium master card.

I'm blaming the RBI and whoever in the Govt made the plans. I strongly believe they should have printed 100 and 500 notes instead of focusing solely on 2000 notes. Its true that in terms of value it would be worth less but 100 and 500 notes would circulate much more than the 2k notes.

UPI is a good alternative of POS device and currently costs nothing. A fixed rate transaction fee might be better for RuPay etc for the long run and especially for a country with 1.3b population. I do agree cashless economy gives major power to the Banks and the Government, and it will be too...

Perhaps that is why the ATM withdrawal limit is set to 2k till 18th November and 4k even after that.

I've always been aware of this and I personally have no mercy for them. I know a lot of small/medium business persons who never file IT but have 15-20L+ income per year. The number of such people are probably 15-20 times of the honest/salaried person who earn equivalent but pay their taxes. Can...

@Lord Nemesis No. 2, 4 & 5 are pipe dreams. Those alone would solve >50% of corruption. While I do think the concept of abolishing existing 500/1000 notes are great, the execution could be much better. RBI should have stopped printing those notes and only print 50/100 notes for the last 6-8...

Actually, 10k per day and 20k per week limit is for bank withdrawal. ATM withdrawal limit is set to 2k per day till 18th November and 4k per day after that until situation calms down. I hope RBI printed enough 100 Rs note as well as the new 500 and 2000 notes and also pay a bit more attention to...
