Washing cloths in a Fully Automatic Washing Machine?

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

It’s still not that easy. You still have to do a lot of hard work. Learn the functions of the machine…
Separate white clothes from colored ones. Separate dark colored clothes from light colored ones.
Check the pockets of all the clothes in case there are metallic objects lying inside them (coins etc.).
Make logical bunches [...]

Reliance Fresh awful experience

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

So, I finally managed to visit the Reliance Fresh when it was open and people could go inside and buy stuff.
The store was intelligently designed. The only problem was that they had no backup mechanism for the situation when their primary AC system starts malfunctioning.
So, during the 30-40 minutes mom was shopping at that place, [...]

IFB Washing Machine buying experience

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

I am quite disappointed with the installation guy the company sent to my place to install the machine and teach me how to use it.
Sadly, the dude was a big jerk. He behaved more like a marketing dude than a technical one. Tried selling me lots of accessories instead of focusing on the essential stuff. [...]

Conax Conditional Access on Zee Dish TV

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

I got a six month long free package on purchasing the Zee Dish TV package. Now, I guess that package would essentially include all the channels Zee has to offer other than let’s say some specific premium channels and movies on demand.
But just days after I got the installation done, several channels have stopped working [...]

Ask not what open source software can do for you, but what YOU can do for open source software.

Reliance Fresh Fiasco

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

So, I finally prepared myself to give a visit to the new Reliance Fresh outlet in my locality. I told mom to get ready for the trip early in the morning so that we can escape the crowd and do some quick shopping for the home.
We reached there at around 7:30. That is around 30 [...]

It’s day time and Airtel sucks again!

Friday, July 13th, 2007

The night was fine. The connection was somewhat usable. Now, it’s day time and Airtel Broadband is practically useless!
I hope I manage to post this post… Hmm.

Zee Dish TV Program Guide Highly Flawed

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Now that I have spent sometime checking out Zee’s Dish TV service, I can safely say that their programming guide is pretty flawed and inaccurate. This is pretty bad considering EPG is one of the best features of this Cable TV replacement technology.

Nirulas Suck

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Actually it has sucked for years now. The food quality is equivalent to trash. The Ice Cream has lost the magic too. We went to the recently opened outlet in the Connaught Place and I was surprised to see that the food and ice cream there was just as bad as it is in their [...]

Sector 31 in Gurgaon: Hottest market in town!

Friday, July 13th, 2007

God damn it. My sector was perhaps one of the most under developed sectors in the region till sometime back.
Things have changed massively.
We had one decent retail store in the market till just a couple of months back. The name was Tulsian something.
It moved out and in came Subhiksha. Few days later we had [...]
