Pizza Review: Domino’s Stuffed Crunch Pizza
2007-12-27 16:03:00 I’m no Pizza fan. I have never ever purchased one. I’ve tasted Pizzas couple of times and that’s it.Recently got a free coupon to try Domino’s newly launched Stuffed Crunch Pizza and decided to check it out. Since I have no experience/expertise dealing with Pizza’s I took a friend named Sayak who had adequate experience in eating Pizzas along with. We went to the Domino’s store in Kasturbai Nagar (near Adyar, Chennai).Right: Sayak Roy Choudury * enjoying the cheesy stuffed crunch pizza…I handed over the letter which entitled me for a free pizza to the shift manager of the store and took a seat. Pizza arrived promptly. What we ordered was Double Cheese Margherita, which had no vegetables inside. I ate two out of 6 six cuts (first time I had eaten a pizza few years ago at Gandhi Bazaar, Bangalore I'd almost vomited...Now've improved a lot and was able to enjoy the byte)while Sayak ate remaining four with joy. I don’t want to write my experience of eating Pizzas for o... More About: Review
Deal Closed- Bajaj Pulsar Sold.
2007-12-27 11:35:00 Few days ago I’d published a post here stating my friend NR Bhat wishes to sell off his Bajaj Pulsar 150cc Bike. One of my readers, JOJO (I know his real name but it is withheld as I don’t know his preferences) has purchased the said bike from NR Bhat and both parties are now happy. eNidhi India takes pride in generating real life value to two of its readers who have benefited from this blog. But now, JOJO says he has “no one” to take pillion seat of his newly bought old bike…Unfortunately eNidhi India is not in a position to help him in this regard. Any suggestions anyone?

Blog s at Hari’s corner and runs a literaryforum. Currently he’s upset that Google is not allowing him to leave is blog URL when he writes a comment.

New idea: fingerprint authentication for bikes
2007-12-16 01:50:00 Ideally I should have patented this idea before releasing the same to general public, but I’m generous enough to throw it open.This is a free idea from my side for anyone in automobile industry willing to implement.What is this idea?Introduce fingerprint ignition in bikes and eliminate the need for keys (or use in combination with conventional key)Is it tough to implement? I don’t think so. Fingerprint authentication is readily available in most of the notebook models, so the technology is available. To use it in bikes bike makers will have to design microprocessor controlled circuit completion mechanism which will either replace or complement current practice of completing the ignition circuit only when a particular key is used (levers will move and close the circuit only when a specific key is used) with fingerprint based circuit completion. Technically this is achievable. What do you achieve? (Benefits)1. Swipe ur finger and start the bike-No need to carry keys.2. Traffic cop... More About: Idea , Bikes , Authentication

Located in the heart of Madikeri (Mercara for those who are unable to twist their tongue!) town.Story is that the King built this temple to nullify the sins he committed by killing an innocent brahmin.Temple displays a mix of Gothic and Islamic architecture.

2007-12-08 04:36:00 Now on display: Photos taken at Abbi Falls , 7kms from Madikeri, Kodagu District, Karnataka . Located inside a private coffee plantation, Abbi falls is small in height (21.3Meters) but is wider. A hanging bridge that spans across the river let you view the falls from multiple angles.The water you see at Abbi Falls is the excess water released from a reservoir that supplies water to Madikeri town. The water flow eventually joins Kaveri river few kms downstream.Note: The road to Abbi Falls is very narrow. Heavy vehicles like buses will have to stop some 2 kms from the falls and passengers will have to walk. Cars and mini buses are allowed further close.Beautiful coffee plantation, sky high trees and pleasant weather makes Abbi falls an excellent picnik spot.British named this falls as Jassi falls, in memory of daughter of First Chaplain of Kodagu.

Chennai MTC-Left half for ladies-why not front half?
2007-09-25 17:27:00 It is quite common in city buses (and other places) that a portion is reserved for women. Usually, front few rows (almost 50%) are reserved for lady passengers in most of the cities (Bangalore, Hyderabad etc).But in Chennai city buses (in ordinary buses) left half of the bus is reserved for women. I fail to understand on what logic this decision is taken. (I am NOT questioning why 50% is reserved for ladies. What I mean is reserving left half portion of the bus to ladies will not serve the actual purpose.)The drawbacks of reserving left half portion of the bus for ladies (as against front half) are as follows:Ladies do not get a dedicated space. They get mixed up with male passengers and this may not be good for them.They have to use both front and rear doors, fighting with male commuters (for standing seats, while boarding the bus or getting down etc). (Where front half is reserved for ladies the front door is usually not used by male passengers)Because of 2 doors and a conductor... More About: Left , Front , Half

Your further reading of this post will be taken as your consent for above statement.------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- --------Poor sanitation facilities is one of the reasons why most of our cities look ugly. Most of the population does not have the luxury of proper toilet facilities at their work place (and few do not have one even at their residence).

Chennai MTC gets Volvo City Buses-Quick report
2007-09-17 07:58:00 This morning (17th Sep) I saw the ad released by Tamil Nadu govt in THE HINDU that they are launching Volvo City Buses in Chennai . Since my earlier post on Bangalore Volvo City buses was extremely popular [link here] I was tempted to gather some quick information about it and write a post. So here we go.It’s the same B7RLE variant of Volvo transit bus which is rocking Bangalore roads that will be hitting Chennai roads. If you ask me, the dashing red coloured Volvo in Bangalore, covered further with advertisements, looks a bit more attractive than the pale white colour Chennai Metropolitan has chosen. Nevertheless, it should be a good experience to Chennai commuters. (Even Singapore and several other countries use this same model...)While I intend to take more pictures of these buses during my next visit to Chennai, here’s one photo sourced from internet.

How Google can make Orkut a better place on net (A suggestion)
2007-09-13 15:12:00 Google (NYSE:GOOG) run community and social networking site Orkut .com has of late become a lawless jungle aiding all criminal and illegal activities. While several bloggers and media have written a lot either supporting or blaming orkut, in this post I try to find a solution for this, a suggestion which appears expensive but if implemented will make Orkut a much much better and safer place on internet.Current concerns with orkut:1.Allows anonymity, 2. No counter check mechanism to prevent creation of fake profiles, 3. One individual may have multiple online identities with different user names, 4. Physical identity of a member is difficult to trace, 5. Profiles are twisted with malicious intentions. What is the solution?Verify physical identity of each member by collecting a physical copy of their identity proof (Passport, Driving License etc).How to go about it?Verifying identity of millions of members will be a time consuming and expensive process, but this will give lots of benef...

The biggest customer for big bazaar till date is a farmer in Sangli whose bill amount was Rs. 1,37,367 2.

Your blog can make or break your career! Achtung!
2007-09-05 11:10:00 The cover article in today’s (5th Sep '07) TOI Accent supplement is about employers reading the blogs of prospective employees to decide if they should hire a particular candidate or not.

Some tips in this regard:1. Avoid revealing personal information (You might have happily written somewhere “I hate to get up before 11 AM in the morning”-any manager who reads this will think “My office starts at 8.30 AM what is the probability that he/she will report to work on time?”)2.
