Had quite a bad expe­ri­ence with makemytrip.com today.
I booked a ticket online for a bus to Chen­nai in the morn­ing. After the pay­ment was done, the screen blanked out and I didn’t get a con­fir­ma­tion for my ticket.
Then I receive an SMS with my book­ing ID and a mes­sage that my credit card […]

Sur­pris­ingly, the folks at TI were super effi­cient. Not only was my con­nec­tion okayed in a […]

Why is this so hard, I am think­ing?
It should be as easy as walk­ing in to the ven­dor, get­ting the infor­ma­tion and then the con­nec­tion.
But if life was that easy, this wouldn’t be India, would it?!
So here I am, still strug­gling to find a broad­band con­nec­tion at home, after Air­tel can­celled my line because they […]

I had a few com­plaints from folks not being able to leave com­ments. Appar­ently, the ver­sion of spam karma2 I’m using is not com­pat­i­ble with this tem­plate and so the com­ments were not being accepted.
It’s been fixed now, so please do leave me a com­ment or two so I know it’s work­ing fine :) In […]
