PVR in legal hassles over mineral water!

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Sometime back, I posted about PVR Cinemas and the mineral bottles they stock in the theatre. The company has specially priced bottled waters for their counters which were priced much more than the market prices.
This was to counter the effect of lawsuits related to selling goods over the MRP price of the product. However, this [...]

Getting back to work!

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

After a day of insanity and mayhem… things finally look somewhat saner now. I broke my chair and in the process fell down while talking on the phone with Ankur. In the morning, I found out that I had to hunt for a brand new web host. After testing out a couple of options, I [...]

Simply the worst week of the year

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Work is down. Eating habits worsening. Smoking continues. And the latest headache to hit my head is the hosting issue. BlueHost certainly seems to have something against me coz I get no responses to my queries while my friend sitting 2 feet away from me gets answers to his queries in minutes.
It’s shocking to see [...]

Starting to hate ICICI Bank

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

I have had so many bad experiences with this Bank in the last month itself that all my good experiences of last 5 years are no longer relevant…
They had made it totally impossible to open a savings account in the bank. They rejected my credit card application without giving a specific reason, as it’s their [...]

ICICI Bank’s way with words

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

However, our inability to sanction a credit card to you does not imply any adverse comment or judgment on your creditworthiness.
