BSNL IPTV MyWay not myway

2010-01-10T00:10:00.000-08:00

I have been using Cable TV service for almost 15+ yrs. Recently, I thought of switching to a DTH TV for more clarity and channels. I browsed through different DTH service sites to check their packages and services. Out of the blue one day, I got call from BSNL that they are providing IPTV Service for its customers known as “MyWay”. This service is available only to BSNL and MTNL broadband customers. I was happy because it’s free for three months. (You need to pay Rs.50 for first 3 months towards service charge). You only need to deposit Rs.1500 (Refundable) against the Set Top Box. If you like the service, you can continue after 3 months. I thought I strike the best deal @ Rs.150 for three months with 200+ channels! Wow. I have to admit that their service is pretty fast in terms of Installation. So I am all set to experience the IPTV MyWay!!!!

Now here comes the real trouble water MyWay, Set Top Box is just a piece of shit. Its index screen gets freeze most of time like a Windows Vista L .You need to switch it off and on. I was really upset and annoying with their service on the 2^nd day. I even try to call their Call Center, if you have a long vacation and ample amount of time to kill, and then try their number. It took me nearly 30 minutes to catch hold off an Agent. Like any other Govt. service, his reluctant nature pissed me off. I am planning to discontinue their service. I still believe that IPTV is a great technology, but still its in evolution path in India.

Cockroach Veg in Biriyani in Punjabi Times !!

2009-07-17T15:23:00.000-07:00

I had a strange and nightmarish experience ordering a vegetable birayani. I was craving for some good food amidst my hectic work schedule and ordered veg biryani along with few other items at Punjabi Times on the Bannerghatta Road opposite to Shoppers Stop. The bill was 400 rupees.

The service was prompt in 30 min. I opened the food packet and started munching couple of spoons of veg biryani. To my nightmare I found a cockroach. On complaining to the restaurant Manager, he was trying to pacify and saying that it all happens sir... we are sorry.

I asked him to put me to the owner and they were reluctant and finding reasons to put us to him and wasnt willing to divulge his number.

On asking for what needs to be done, or at least refund the money, the Manager was saying they would have to check with their owner about it and he is not available. When I started to talk tough about complaining to the consumer court he said, he will give me a replacement (Did he meant to change the ingredient - possibly with a lizard ?). How would any one be interested to eat anything from such a restaurant.

After making him to understand what disgusting service they have provided he came down and said he will reimburse 100 rupees for the cockroach biryani. We told him to take back all the food and reimburse, and he again said he needs to check with the owner who was not available until Monday. I was enraged and told him to find a solution immediately or I may have meet each one of his customer at his restaruant and appraise of the hygenine. He he finally agreed to return the money. I have snaps taken of the same.

I wouldnt encourage or discourage you visting the restaurant. But you know what you need to do

Tata Indicom Broadband Sucks!!

2007-10-15T13:30:00.000-07:00

I think any one who has been a customer of Tata Indicom,internet service, would agree with me that it's a greatest mistake they have done unfortunately. Believe me they have the worst ever customer service on earth ,that drives you crazy and brings out nerves in you. I took up a Broad Band connection with Min 256kbps to Max 2 mbps. Forget about 256kbps..till last three months I am getting 175 kbps. I lodged more than 10 complaints; but no response.

Initially they will claim all good stuffs..like high speed internet service, quick solving of customer oriented problems..etc etc. forget about the high speed, they don't even reach the minimum speed..they don't bother to solve the issue, the worst part is that they close the case without even your knowledge! From my personel experience I would never ever suggest any one to go for it because it will make your life hell..your time and hard earned money will go into drain..

They should better put the add as.."Tata indicom ….join us at your risk..help us to make you mad! Tata Indicom is nothing but a bunch of white lies!!!

About ME

2007-05-17T05:37:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine once said there are two types of people in the world, people who like mountains and people who like oceans. This is a dilemma for me as I love mountains and oceans, but if I had to make a choice, I'd take the ocean, because there is something limitless about the ocean and that appeals to me.
Ever since I was a child, I love of doing what I want to do. Freedom is always been a part and parcel of my life. I always consider myself as a Mammas Boy. For me, my parents are the greatest gift from GOD.
Keeping up to date with global economics and politics is one of my hobbies. NDTV and CNN are few of my favorites channels. It creates a great reason to buy Business World, and one of my favorite magazines is the Economist.
My career path in Information Technology changes like sea weather. I started my career as a sales executive in Cadbury Chocolates and currently working as IT consultant in a Software Company. I believe life changes its lane, color and clothes very fast!! You don?t know what will happen next second. I love to live in present. Future is a mystery for me. I never consider my self as a very studious. But my eagerness for knowledge is very high. The thing I like most about my work is in building steps, which connect to people and their lives. These connections can be on an individual basis or at a global level.
Personally, my favorite past time is spending time with my Wife and my Mother. I really enjoy taking them out for dinner or lunch. Cooking for family and friends is also a big hobby of mine, as is going out to fine restaurants and not so fine restaurants. I miss Padang food, which is an Indonesian Beer food. I never get a chance to visit Indonesia. My friend got it for me. There's an Indonesian saying, "The fly's can eat at any restaurant, so they always eat at the best ones", and Padang restaurants have more fly's then any other restaurant.
Sports I love include jogging in parks and bicycling and just being active in nature. One of my favorite places is Elephant Falls in Bangalore; with miles of beautiful cascading waterfalls, which you can climb through for hours.
And that's a little about me,
Cheers!
