Dont Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight - Rujuta Diwekar

Sameer, thanks for your comments. It is always thought provoking to hear an opinion different from my own. What you have posted about Rujuta's qualifications was frankly not known to me. I was only reacting to her book and the dietary advice which she gives. It may not be anything more than common s...ense, but it has definitely helped me to revise my dietary habits in a healthful way which has reflected in weight loss. That's my story and I am sticking to it :) Having said that, thank you again for your comments. Will check out your review too!Read More

Ebay : A convenient shopping option!
Ebay

Hi Iplotwala, it is a very old review (2007!) At that time, I was indeed a happy customer! To be honest, in the last year, I have not made so many purchases there. I now purchase a lot of electronic products from Croma. My dad continues to buy small items (FM car transmitter, toolkit etc) from EBa...y as well as Rediff and still finds them prompt. As I mentioned, for certain small ticket items, EBay has been a good option for me in the past.Read More

Sony Viao - Let me save you some money
Sony VAIO CR - VGN-CR363/B

two of my colleagues have purchased this model. In a few months they have had all sorts of problems - system refuses to power up, wi-fi does not always work and battery issues are also happening. Your review also confirms that there is some problem with the model. Thanks for sharing!

This book rocks!

I personally hate and mistrust all diet and weight-lossplans. Most of them advocate ridiculous diets that no sane person will wish to follow (don’t eat carbs? Live preferably on fruits and vegetables? Stop eatingdairy products? PLEASE). The problem I have had with all these diets is thatthey are...Read more

Light and fast, but prone to failure
Dell XPS M1330

I got the tip on battery health meter from your review - thanks! Was not aware of this earlier. Dell sure buries all the useful information on their site!

It's an eye catcher, but buy it at your risk!
Dell XPS M1330

G-raptor, Roshan, thanks for leaving your comments. Roshan, my laptop is now 6 months old (bought in October 2008) and battery life continues to be around 3-3.5 hours for standard word processing/ with wi-fi enabled. I had read your review and my sympathies for your problems with the machine! I am ...fully waiting with fingers crossed for something to go wrong with mine but so far all seems ok.The big difference between your config and mine is that I did not opt for graphics card, maybe that's why I have had less issues?Read More

It's an eye catcher, but buy it at your risk!

The Dell XPS 1330 is my first personal laptop. I waited more than a year to buy one and scouted many brands and models but this was the first one to offer the power specs I wanted, at a price that was within my budget. The fact that it looks beautiful (I have one with a deep red finish) does not...Read more

Best option for outstation visitors
Easy Cabs

Sesame thanks for reading and for the link. :) I just checked it but is is not working. Could you PM it to me so that I can add it into the article? I agree, inability to post links is a huge irritation. Indeed, Rs. 15 per km is not cheap in Delhi (it is roughly the same charge in Mumbai, but here... it seems reasonable). But in Delhi it certainly fills a huge need area for the outstation traveller at least.Read More

One week With Preethi Blue Leaf
Preethi Blue Leaf

Thanks - I am looking for a JMG myself and this review helped me to include Preethi as one of the possible candidates. The powerful motor helped to convince me! I don't think it is readily available in Mumbai though.

Thanks Amrita, deadlikings - yes, travelling alone late at night has always been a stress for me in Delhi - I found the concept excellent..as I mentioned I also wish it takes off in Mumbai...really needed here.

Best option for outstation visitors

I travel regularly to Delhi for business but I have experienced Easy Cabs only on my most recent visit last month. I was staying in North Delhi for 8 days and commuting almost daily to Gurgaon and South Delhi. In this period I used Easy Cabs 12-14 times. Travel is always a huge stress to an o...Read more

Advice on shopping online - part 2
General Tips on Online Shopping

Hi, cherian, the review is in two parts because it is too large to fit in a single post. You're quite right that inflation will cut all shopping if it persists (including online) but I think online travel bookings especially rail/air will continue to look up. I don't blog though I keep promising m...yself I will - too lazy :(Read More

India's Plaza indeed
Indiaplaza

Hi, thanks for a balanced and well written review. I have been shopping with Indiaplaza since its Fabmall days. Your evaluation matches my experience with them exactly. I agree that they are more over-priced than other sites on the Web, but delivery is prompt. I must add that the book selection on t...he site used to be better in fabmall days, now they seem to emphasise only bestsellers. @derebail2008 - you are quite right that there is a problem with their phone lines and I have never been able to get through. However when I mailed them asking for reason for late delivery of my order, they promptly called me back. They are reliable sellers but I would rate the cust service as average only.Read More

Beware of the air ticket offer
Indiaplaza

Given that taxes are so high today, I agree that this is a misleading offer. I was also thinking of shopping on Indiaplaza to avail of that scheme. Thanks for the tip!

CAREFULL..!! from INDIAPLAZA
Indiaplaza

E Bay had asked me to fax my credit card once and told me that they ask for the copy in case of transactions greater than Rs.10000. I agree with you that it seems unnecessary and a nuisance. They told me that they were actually doing it to protect against credit card fraud. I asked if they will dest...roy the fax after the transaction is complete and they assured me that they would. Now, I see from your article that other sites do this also. I wonder that ticketing sites do not do this although the value of the transaction can be much higher than 10k. Barry4u, that was an interesting post as I was not aware that online sites can even collect a card statement from you!Read More
