Bajaj FinServ is the worst! I'm just sharing my experience with Bajaj Finance / Bajaj FinServ ! I'm really disappointed with the way Bajaj Finance's Customer service team works.  I got a written confirmation from Bajaj Finance's team that my emi card is unblocked & ready to be used (after rigorous follow up on twitter & email).  For the third time when I went to the local shop to book my phone, & yet the card was blocked. Finally I had to use my CC to buy the phone. Why have they mentioned that it's unblocked? If Bajaj Finance don't want customers to buy product under Bajaj Finance finance company, Bajaj Finance can say that upfront! Bajaj Finance kept on lying. That moment was embarrassing for me & it will be humiliating for Bajaj Finance too. 1- The EMI card number (shared by Bajaj Finance) is an incorrect card number as per Bajaj Financer IVR - 020 39575152. 2- The toll free number shared by Bajaj Finance w.r.t EMI ca...

Why can’t BJP & its supporters handle criticism? You are in power & it’s a democratic country. As a citizen of this diverse nation, we have the right to ask questions to the government & you’re obligated to answer us. Why do you have to defend yourself behind the excuse of Congress whenever we ask questions about the benefit of demonetization? Indeed it took us 60 years to realize that Congress was incompetent to run the country. Isn’t that the reason we gave an opportunity to you (with majority) in the first place? Why don’t you justify the after math of demonetization? The nation wants to know, after all those sacrifices, what have we achieved! We stood outside atm for days; 1.5 million lost their jobs; 2% downfall in GDP & 100+ martyrs outside the ATM/banks for the betterment of the country… We all accepted it assuming this is what it takes to become a corruption free country & at the end, it will be all worth it! You have asked for 50 days, we gave you a...

OYOnauts! Oyo Town House 011 As a digital marketer, I keep on travelling a lot as per the project’s requirements & have experienced almost all kinds of hotels & motels of the country. Some experiences were par excellence, some average & some were more of a nightmare! No one’s perfect! You won’t get what’s called “a complete package”! Let’s accept it! As humans, we are never satisfied with whatever we have. “What makes you perfectis not what you don’t have but how you make the most of whatever you have!” Talking about travelling, I recently visited Kolkata, the cultural capital of India for a 2 weeks official trip. My expectations about a perfect hotel are; a beautiful ambiance (lobby, lawn), a cozy room, a fully equipped gym, bar/lounge with the latest tracks, mouthwatering food menu & a great room service. The first 3 days I stayed at Hotel Park Prime (a 4 star property) for Rs.6000/- per night, which was close to my expectations however, in order for me t...

Dedicated to all those Hindus who wants Mandir & Muslims who wants Masjid on        "The disputed land - Ayodhya" I happened to meet Mr.Balraj Upadhyay (63) & Mr.Tabrez Farooqui (64) at a restaurant in Kurla. What made me to interact with them was the language they were using to communicate with each other. Balraj was speaking in one of the purest form on Hindi & likewise, Tabrez was using the best of Urdu. I was amazed to hear that they are friends for more than 50 years. Balraj, a Brahmin by caste & a Retd. Mechanical Engineer by profession whereas Tabrez is an Urdu writer & at times preaches Islam to the youth. They both looked simple & down-to-earth & were enjoying their tea until I interfered. I asked them if I could join, a straight look on their face followed by a smile which I presumed as an acknowledgement. I don't generally prefer to disturb anyone's privacy however the situation over here was different. It was rain...

Triple Talaq in Islam! One of the most controversial topic of discussion as of today is about “ triple talaq ” in Islam! A husband, over social networking site said ‘talaq’ thrice & it was considered as a divorce, but is it that simple? Is Islam being bias towards men for allowing them only to use the word talaq to their women & not the other way around?  What if a woman needs a talaq from her husband? Many similar questions were raised on the similar grounds. Let’s try to simplify the confusion.   “The most hated thing before Allah is divorce” – Prophet Mohammad   What is Triple Talaq ? A man using the word talaq thrice for his wife over a period of time is considered as talaq as per Shariya rule. Steps of Triple Talaq There are lot of misconceptions when it comes to triple talaq.

The Real Image in a virtual world! There was some event at my son’s school. Diyan was excited as this was the first time parents were invited to be a part of an event. Me & my wife sat on the second last row of the hall & soon, the show began. The event lasted for two hours which involved some group activities & drawing competition for the kids. Almost all the parents were cheering their kids except one. White short Gujrati kurta-pyjama, rumples on his face, thick glasses, a dark brown stick, trembling hands & barely able to stand on his feet but was trying his best to encourage almost every toddler. Thanks to those gossiping ladies through whom I came to know that Hemant bhai is seen in almost every fuction dedicated to children happening around the vicinity. No big deal, right? An old chap, nearly in his 80s, who might have nothing to do at that age, is trying to fritter away time. Couple of days later, I took Diyan for an evening walk at the near...

"Yaar, I'm bored listening to the same set of songs again & again. Turn up the radio! I’m sure most of us have done this many-a-time. That one song played on the radio has no match to those which are stored on your 16-32GB iPod/Phone. The timing of that song with your memories &, a flashback!  Radio, technically the first source of entertainment which is among us since 1927 (IBC - Aakashwani ), has evolved right from “AIR FM Rainbow” to “Purani Jeans”, from simple news to naughty shows, from RJ Ameen Sayani to RJ Shekhar Basha . The evolution is not only limited to technology but also for corporate/brands to reach out the masses for marketing, promotions & awareness. The popularity of this source of entertainment has reach at such a great level that we even hear some really beautiful & interesting stories with mind blowing narration. With all these activities & shows on radio, comes another show for laughter but, with a human touch & a message....

Law - Above above all! Equal for all? 6th May 2015: The 13 years old 2002 hit & run case on actor Salman Khan finally heard a verdict. The actor is sentenced for 5 years of imprisonment. Glad that finally our jurisdiction took a call & its better to be late than never. No matter who you are, the law is above all but is it really equal for all? Khan's case was one of 18.5 million criminal cases pending in India & the actor himself was among the 22.2 million people under trial. Most of us are happy to see that Khan is no special case in our Indian jurisdiction. Irrespective of who ever you are, if you are guilty then you'll treated the same way as others. Apart from Khan, there are few more cases in those millions where some business tycoons, politicians & celebrities are involved in such hit & run cases however our government has a different verdict for them. 10th Jan 1999: Sanjeev Nanda, A student of Wharton Business Scho...
