Liberty shoes - Kachra shoes, Kachra company

I bought a pair of sandals for my daughter at Rs. 749/- from Liberty shoes JP Nagar 7th phase, Bangalore(close to Big Bazaar). Within one day the strap tore and came off rendering it useless. The stitching also started coming out(see photo for example of both marked with a red circle) We took...Read more

Reviewed Sanjay Gandhi National Park - Mumbai

Not worth the trouble

Visited the Sanjay Gandhi National Park on Dec 31, 2009. Had to wait one hour for tickets to the so called "safari". There were only two buses for the safari and hordes of people. The safari was pathetic (two lions and four tigers in enclosures) and is way inferior to Banerghatta park in Bang...Read more

Beware of calls from Country vacations

I am from Bangalore and I too recieved their calls. They first pretended to be calling from Garuda mall and said I had won a lucky dip and won a holiday package for two. I was surprised because I have not visited Garuda mall once. They asked me to collect the tickets and a cutlery set (the usual...Read more

Only worth a day trip

We did a day trip to Bandipur recently. We tried getting bookings at Jungle lodges and the other big resorts but could not(luckily for us). Most of the resorts are outside the sanctuary(on dusty roads) and did not look like great places to stay(including Jungle lodges). The prices are atrocious ...Read more

Club Cabana Devanahalli Bangalore
Club Cabana - Sadahalli - Bangalore

Rs 950 per person is a little steep for this place. The bowling alley is error prone and requires lot of manual intervention. Too crowded these days with many corporates jamming the place, definitely not the place for a small group or individual family

Why pay 3 times for a user interface ?

A year back we bought a Pigeon Microwave(20 litres) . It has been giving very good service, we mainly use it for heating stuff. We have not found it that useful for cooking. It cost us about Rs 2900. It has a grill(which we have never used so far) When we did the search, we found that expensi...Read more

White goods costlier than outside

Recently we were looking for a good deal to purchase a Sony Ericcson W700 and enquired at Big Bazaar(among others). We found that Big Bazaar is costlier than smaller mobile retail outlets. For the W700 they quoted Rs 12000 but we finally got it at a retail outlet for Rs 11600 . Morover the se...Read more

Thanks Vijay for this expose. Got this call a few days back. Might have fallen into this trap, my wife had the sense to google Casa retreat and came across this article. I will email this article to all my friends/relatives and ask them to beware of both Casa Retreat/Club Mahindra and any other time...share holiday company. Incidentally, there was a nice article by Steven Dubner (author of the book Freakonomics) on what a bad deal these timeshare holidays are. Next time they call, I am going to tell them to come to the nearest police station to collect their gifts (silver coin, tumblers, Rs 1000, coffee maker, dessert bowls). These people need to be jailed for 90 years for wasting 90 minutes of so many peopleRead More
