technology for convenience

last year , it was a pain for me to pay the bill for my reliance cell phone...

i always pay by cash. so i go to the webworld. where i have to waste at least half an hour of my precious time just waiting in queue.. whats more it opends at 10.30 ( i am in college by then) it closed for lunch in the afternoon . the service is pathetic . and it shuts shop at 8.30 . half the time the power isnt there , so they cannot help you.

now you have this wonderful facility where you can pay your bills on the site of reliance at the following link :

http://bill.reliancecommunications.co.in/webapp/portal/jsp/user/AfterLogin.jsp
you have to create an account, and then at your leisure , you can pay the bill using your credit/debit card ,
whats more , u can view your entire payment history right for the last five payments , and you can also see your unbilled usage.
you can also send messages, though it was not a very user friendly experience.a boon for people like me whose time is very precious. technology does make life easy for everyone

from bathroom singing to karaeoking at the acres- chembur

well ,
These pics are of the day when the alumni committee members of simsr for 2007 decided to reward themselves for the efforts they have put in for the institute and bringing more visibility for the committtee in general .

The venue was acres club at chembur.....

it was the karaeoke night with dj savio rocking the dance floor.....

followed by the go karting, the booze started flowing and then the drinks happened...

the food was pretty good.... but the cake of the day went to the karaeoke round where i got the opportunity to sing my favourite song of my favuorite actor from my favourite movie.(main koi aisa geet gaun ki aarzoo jagaun agar tum kaho....)
although i sucked big time with my voice , i guess i made it up with my attitude..
the applause by the 30 something crowd was worth it...............

an experience of a lifetime.....

something i always wanted to do.....................

latest example of infringement !!!!

A new brand of mineral water has come up called "AQUARICH" (aquafina + oxyrich) which is packaged exactly like aquafina with just the changed name. it is being manufactured by an unknown company in taloja district outside mumbai......

enforcement of patent and copyright is still at a very nascent stage in india.

everyone is requested to make sure that they identify these dubious brands and not confuse them with the original ones................

Back in form after a long time

Happy days are back again.

Played my second club match for the season.(had got out for a mere two runs in the first one)I had in my mind to really make a match of it.

Usually i bat two down,but for this match i was three down.
It was a 45 over match. we won the toss and elected to bat.
15 overs and we were stuck at 50.The second wicket fell in the 20 the over at 75 runs.

I joined the crease.....
At that stage 180 was looking like a good score , coz the other team was bowling really well.I started settling down on the crease taking a few singles and twos.

Then the blast started.........
8 fours , 4 sixes

the fourth and fifth wicket partneship of over 50 runs each set the stage for us

I was getting tired.........
finally got out trying to slog in the 41st over with the score on 220.

82 runs it was ............. of 70 balls..........

then we collapsed and ended up making 239 , setting a target of 240....( it could have easily been 260)

the other team got out at 204 . we are now in the second round, with matches scheduled for friday and sunday.hope to continue the good form.

Formula 4 SUCCESS...

A small truth to make our Life's 100% successful...

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is equal to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then, H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

L+O+V+E=12+15+22+5=54%

L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%

(None of them makes 100%)...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Then what makes 100% ?

Is it Money? ...

...No!!!!!

Leadership? ...

...NO!!!!

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our

"ATTITUDE"

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes...

OUR Life 100% Successful...

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

To achieve this 100% attitude, you must !!! be disciplined in life……yes that reminds me...

Even D+I+S+C+I+P+L+I+N+E = 100%
