About Me
’Its impossible to make anything foolproof because the fools are so damn ingenious!’
- Murphy’s Law #11
Average rating = 92% (25/27 reviews rated ’HR/VU’)
I’ve been working in Mumbai for about 18 months (its my first time here).
I’ve written so far about my:
- car (City AT)
- bank (HDFC)
- credit card (HDFC Gold)
- mobile (Kyocera)
- GSM provider (BPL)
- TV car show (CNBC)
- clinic (Dr. Batra’s)
- laptop (IBM ThinkPad)
- hospital (Asian Heart Institute)
- brokerage (HDFC Securities)
- life insurance (Birla Sun Life)
- watch (Seiko Perpetual Calendar)
It felt good to unload all my frustrations and to have others learn from my experiences.
I plan to write about my:
- CDMA provider (WLL)
- household/renter insurance (Bajaj Allianz)
- tax advisor (FileMyReturns)
- appliances (Videocon)
- living in Mumbai (Andheri, Powai)
- my apartment complex (Raheja)
I look forward to unleashing the dogs of war on them also!
Its soo cathartic ... its a stress buster!!
I guess I got too spoilt living in the US for 12 years so its quite irritating to experience customer service from the stone age!
Fav quotable people:
Mark Twain aka Samuel Clemens and
Yogi Berra (baseball player for the Yankees during Mickey Mantle’s captaincy).
