I have been using their ebill pay facility for many years now and never had any problems but off late I am having so many issues its just too much!

Do Indians lack conscience?
In: India
18 Oct 2011I don’t know if this something unique to us Indians or this is a human nature. I haven’t been amongst any other group of people so I can only comment about us Indians. I find we Indians lack conscience. In our daily life we do so many things without thinking of others. We Indians go [...]
Ashton Kutcher looks like young Steve Jobs
In: Interesting
9 Oct 2011Ashton Kutcher shares a striking resemblance with young Steve Jobs. If Hollywood ever makes a movie about Jobs, Kutcher can easily fit the bill.
This is a true story and by no means over. The guy in question happens to be one regular lower middle class chap who grew up selling combs to confectionery to augment the family income. He spent his childhood in the company of comic books. He wasn’t alone. For kids growing up in early nineties [...]
Car Park Fail
In: Idiocy
30 Sep 2011Captured this today at office car park. Some jerk has parked the car ignoring the yellow lines and wasted space for two cars! How difficult it is to follow simple rules? How can people be so thick and careless to not think of the ramification of their actions. People just don’t give a heck about [...]
My past phones and why I bought them
In: Gadgets
12 Sep 2011I was just analyzing my mobile phones over the years and the reasons I bought them. My first mobile phone was Nokia 3530. I had no idea about mobile phones then. It was sometimes in the first half of 2004. I chose a Nokia phone because that was the only solid brand then I guess. [...]
The real cost of Zero interest EMI on credit cards
In: India|Interesting
6 Aug 2011Many banks offer zero interest EMIs on credit card transactions. They apparently don’t charge any interest but only take a one time processing fee which looks to be very reasonable. Say you bought something for 6000 on a credit card and bank offers you an interest free option of paying it back in six months [...]

In: Gadgets|Technology
25 Jul 2011I have been using Samsung Google Nexus S for a couple of weeks now and here’s my review of the phone. This is also a review of Android because this is my first Android phone. After comparing various phones I finally chose Nexus S mainly for its 16GB in built storage, screen size and price. [...]
Why Google Plus is no threat to Facebook
In: Technology|Web 2.0
23 Jul 2011I have written an article about why Google+ is no threat to Facebook on Trak.in. Facebook is personal. That makes it successful. There are many people who are on Facebook but they are not on Twitter. You know why? Because Twitter is NOT personal! When I login to Facebook I see updates FROM my friends, [...]
