Paulo-The Holiday Destroyers

I had to travel suddenly from Navi Mumbai to Goa in Feb 2015 for a friend's marriage. Since I did not get train tickets, I booked online on the paulo travel's website. The bus was supposed to leave Dadar at 2.30PM and reach Kharghar at 4.30PM. I reached at 4PM near Kharghar bridge. I called t...Read more

Time to dump Kingfisher beer after 25 years!

I am born and brought up in Goa and have grown up with Kingfisher beer gracing all occasions as the beer of choice for the last 25 years. Birthdays, baptism parties, marriage events, etc, etc, are not complete with Kingfisher beer. Downing 5-6 beers(650ml each) was common for me at parties with ...Read more

I posted my review on Aug 10, 2009 and you send me an apology note on Mar 21, 2013. I guess thats the way IFB service works as well...

Best Recommendation
d2h

I have been noticing that most 5 star reviews for Videocon d2h are posted on a daily basis and it's always the user's first review..Makes me wonder if these indeed are true reviews or total non-sense..Also seems to me that Videocon d2h is doing superb in Agra based on the reviews...

Check reviews before buying A60

Great reviews..I was thinking of going for the A60 but on reading your hands on review I think I have to spend my money elsewhere.

No spares available

I purchased the IFB Elite 5kg back in Jan 07. Things were pretty much good back then. The wash cycle did a pretty decent job to the clothes like any other washing machine should do. Let's come to the point how the IFB service centres cheat their customers. 1) When the IFB technician came for ...Read more

Mitashi DHD 911 DVD player rocks
Mitashi 9999

Manojkrs...the looks are good. It has a soft blue light on the tray once you put it ON and it looks great during the dark. I know it supports HD media but I have not tried playing anything on it yet cos my TV is old and i would not know the difference. I am planning for a 42" soon...:)

D-Mart at Seawoods... UN-commendable !!!
D Mart - Mumbai

Hi there, I assumed you had a very bad experience at D-Mart, Seawoods outlet. However, I have been going to this outlet every month for the last 3 years now and I have not come across any such problems with their staff. I try to avoid going during the evening times on weekends as the rush is to...o much. But the time around noon or early evenings is the best time for shopping over there. The check out counters are less crowded and the staff also help when needed. I think once the crowd starts coming in, it becomes chaotic there. And I find the prices at D-mart lower as compared to Big Bazaar and Food bazaar. Infact, we have a food bazaar outlet in my area at Kharghar, but i go all the way to Seawoods due to the lower prices offered.Read More

I had a Philips DVD player (727K) for over 4 years now and though it works fine, there are times when it fails to even read an original DVD or an original Audio CD sending me in a fit of rage.

SX4 First Impressions!
Maruti Suzuki SX4

Has anyone with an SX4 tried removing and replacing the rear arm rest? Can this be done? The only reason stopping me from going ahead with purchasing this car is that we are a family of 5 and I dont want to hear any complaints from any folks sitting in the rear. Otherwise the car is excellent!

The best in its class
Maruti Suzuki SX4

You mentioned Automotive Manufacturers as a dealer in Nerul, Navi Mumbai. I thought SK Wheels at Sanpada was the only dealer for Maruti at Navi Mumbai in the Vashi-Panvel belt. Can you give me the address of your dealer?

SX4zxi as Owner experience : Honest confession !
Maruti Suzuki SX4

Kunal, Even my decision on buying the SX4 has been stalled for a while cos of the center arm rest in the rear. But since you say that putting seat covers has neutralised the discomfort of the middle passenger, can you post a photo of the revamped rear seat? It would really be of great help to all... the readers. Thanks!Read More

APC Invertor 800 VA Sine Wave
APC Inverter

Hi, I have purchased the APC 800 VA yesterday and have noticed something odd about the inverter. If I switch on a single fan or a light, I have noticed that the fan gives a humming sound and the light flickers. The same type of thing that happens when there is low voltage. But if I put on a fan a...nd a light simultaneously, the humming disappears and the light does not flicker. Is this normal?Read More

Hi Manoj, Congrats on your purchase. I too purchased a Dio today and its a bit slow in the pickup and acceleration front. Does this change and become normal after a few uses? Or should I wait for the first service? How is the pickup and acceleration after using it for 15 days now?
