    Review Tikona threatening me of legal case.

    I guess the only reason they don't take the equipment because they want you to be in their customer list so that they can coax you, cajole you, pressurize you all within the legal definitions of the agreement. Once the equipments are returned it becomes a clear case of harassment and criminal...

    Review Tikona threatening me of legal case.

    Yesterday I was talking to an Airtel guy. He said if the equipment is not returned then as far as HO is concerned you are still a customer of Airtel, although inactive. As far as billing is concerned it is a separate matter and controlled by other parts of the agreement. As long as you possess...

    Review Tikona threatening me of legal case.

    OP, first you have to return the equipments yourself at their office and get an acknowledgement. (I am sure there will be some small letter agreement somewhere which says that as long as the equipments are in your possession you are their client and they can bill you. I am quoting a similar...

    I have to quit smoking!

    ^ My son since then has no occurrence of asthma, not even wheezing or bronchitis. He is currently the member of his school's basketball team and active in many sports and games. Earlier if he caught cold then we were sure to endure his coughing for weeks after that. Now he hardly catches the...

    How to make Indian Postal Service like USPS

    Grass is always greener beyond the fence, as someone said in one of the prior posts. I have had exposure to both and I find their attitude is similar. USPS employees can be equally rude citing their low pay (I got this sharp comment from a clerk behind the counter). Similar kind of response I...

    Does good college really matter for your career?

    Good colleges do matter in early years of your career by opening doors to opportunities in good organizations, but ultimately your talent will help you to sustain and move ahead in your career. Initially I used to wonder why is it that so called good organizations always give preference to so...

    EBook Readers: Need Advice on Kindle

    Don't go for Infibeam's PI. I have one for last two years. When it was working it was okay to read books on it. Now the screen has started dimming to the extent it is unreadable. I have been e-mailing them for a paid repair, for last two months, every time they say that some one will contact me...

    DSLR for Macro Photography?

    I started my learning of macro photography with lens reversing technique, then with extension tubes and then with close-up filters and then a macro lens. Some of my photos had come out impressive. But I can't claim success for those good photos. It appeared to me I could never know which photos...

    Review Should I sue Sony in consumer court ?

    Try what @abracadabra suggests. Wait for 7 to 10 days. If it does not show any progress then threaten the service center guy that you are going to sue Sony in consumer court. Wait for two days. If still no progress, prepare a neat page detailing everything that has happened highlighting your...

    Mistakes one should not do while creating résumé & CVs ?

    Lemme tell you something about my experience as a senior interviewer: 1. 95% of the resume does not require to be more than 3 pages 2. The pass marks and CGPA are not important if you have more than three years of experience. 3. CV should be customized for the targeted position (even for general...

    DSLR for Macro Photography?

    If you are staging your photo set-up then you need to have great control over your DOF (for macro you should be able to have a very calculated DOF). When you talk about blurryness, are you talking about back-ground blurryness? Then in that case try keeping your background objects much beyond DOF...

    Booking a separate ticket for my 3 year old in Indian Railways

    You are right. Usually TTE will not bother too much about change in name unless he finds a hint of fishy-ness. You can't expect TTE to ignore the age difference between booked age and actual passenger's age or for that matter gender differences.

    Booking a separate ticket for my 3 year old in Indian Railways

    ^ Righto. Go ahead and do that. No TTE will bother if you paid for the seat. They are only concerned if someone occupies a seat w/o paying for it. In the worst case he may become inquisitive and ask about child's age. You give a confident answer and he will be on his way.

    DSLR for Macro Photography?

    No doubt P & S can do the job pretty well, but then you may be spending almost the same amount as DSLR set-up to get the professional quality (assuming that you are well acquainted with macro photography. However the biggest advantage of DSLR is that you can start small and then grow easily as...

    Booking a separate ticket for my 3 year old in Indian Railways

    AFAIK, if the person in whose name ticket is issued does not travel then he is considered to be a "no show" and he can claim partial refund till six hrs. after departure of the train. In such a case TTE has the full authority to re-assign the berth to another person in order of precedence (as...
