So, what is safe?
So, I was trying to sell my beloved Honda which I had owned for only 16 - 17 months in favor of getting a brand new fully loaded BMW. I couldn't be more excited.

Stay away from makemytrip.com
1. I booked a hotel using makemytrip.com with all the payments made in advance. They boast on their website as "All the bookings made are confirmed bookings".
2. I check my emails for the voucher. I don't see it, I also wait thinking that booking must be confirmed and it just an email, which should arrive in some time.
3. Its past 2 hours. No ( Read more... ) -
Passport Seva Kendra - Good stuff from Govt.
I completely give my thumbs up to this new initiative called Passport Seva Kendra from the Ministry of external affairs, India. Passport has become a must have these days and I am pretty sure most of us have faced problems with the complications, delays and paperwork involved in the passport issue process.

Proud on my country, huh?
'X' wants to apply for a Govt job. 'X' needs to send photo copies of all the documents of her life so far 'attested' by a 'gazetted' officer alongwith her application. 'X' goes to a govt bank. 'X' is told that manager will attest for a very reasonable price. 'X' gets irritated, as she has already paid a hefty application fee. 'X' goes to a govt ( Read more... ) -
