Either the software of an Airtel is wrongly programmed or may be a mistake by the operator who sends the alert SMSes on mobile-phone. Yesterday evening @ 7:14pm I received a SMS from AM-BilAlert saying..."Your 12-Feb-09 bill is due on 30-Feb-09. Kindly pay ontime to enjoy continued services. Ignore if already paid. To pay from your Mobile, SMS AIRTEL to 543219."

Although I have received the above bill in which the due date is correctly printed as 2-Mar-09, I was just wondering what type of calendar Airtel is using in their software to send me such invalid due date as 30-Feb-09. So stupid... this SMS made my the joke of the day.

However I received one more SMS in which they informed to ignore the due date reminder SMS and inconvenience is regretted. Continue Reading »

Investing half a Lac of Rupees for your career in Computer? Think Twice.
I am writing this post to let you know this is a SCAM...they take your hard earned money, give you a lame classes and after completing your course only false promises - no jobs!.

We are definitely in the world of computers age and so it's the necessity for everyone to be a computer literate. You may have got some basic trainings from your siblings, guardians or friends but still not enough to go along-with. A proper education and certification in today's world is the most important criteria in your career field.
Everybody knows these and goes in search for a good computer institute especially one offers nice job guarantee. We get very excited with their many offers attached to the course content like extra free practical hours, free online guide, open projects, affiliation to many big brands to get you dream jobs, personal finance and much more. Remember as old people says... "Do not believe in when too good to be true".

Many big brand institues offer classes even to those peoples who are actually not qualified due to improper knowledge, undergraduate, poor academy skills, lacking with proper talent, bad communication. Institute consellors are quite smart to target these type of students with big talks and false promises in lieu of getting big money easily.

Not all institutes and not all branches of the same brand classes are scamming. However you should do some research of that institute before enrolling for a computer course.

Follow the Tips below:

• Go for a computer course which is relevant only to your field and not for the latest buzz going around for any unknown course.
• Check the classes they conduct and class timings.
• Cross check the progress with earlier students of the same branch.
  
• See the specimen copy of certificate they will provide you.
• See the library and good computers are whether installed.
  
• Meet the trainer to know whether he/she is properly literate in the relevant course to train you.
• Know the job guarantee they offer.
  

If you are not sure about which course to enroll then I suggest you to have an appointment with the professional career consultant to let you know to choose correct path for your career.

The 499 Rupees adidas bag offered free with Encyclopedia 3 CDs online through IRCTC Special offer did not last even a month. See the below images every week my wife have to stitch around for me on these hard rainy days here in Mumbai.





Is these the quality of adidas bag has gone so much down? or the promotion offer of the IRCTC is cheap? Whoever the responsible may be but we are the customers to loose. It seems the promotion offers are made for such damage products or out of date products.
