11 Reasons why MLM Companies go bad
2008-05-23 01:14:00 With Chennai Police opening investigations on QuestNet/Goldquest MLM company, operations of such companies which promise an easy wealth creation for everyone involved, are again under scanner. Hundreds of network marketing companies are operating in India, each calling itself unique, genuine and best. Each of them may have their pros and cons and while we may not have specific legal backing to term their operations illegal, caution is advised before getting associated with these companies. In this post, let us see the key differences between a traditional company and network marketing company and some typical reasons why most of the MLM/NM companies face trouble over a period of time.A traditional business1.Investors pump money, employees put effort, management uses investor's money, convert's employee skill into product/service, sells it to customer who pays. This money is used to pay salary and dividend.2.Investor's interest is protected by market regulators like SEBI, employee... More About: Companies , Reasons
SBI finally accepts me as a customer
2008-05-19 19:12:00 Country’s leading Bank, State Bank of India (SBI), has finally accepted me as its customer.My first contact with SBI dates back to year 2001, when I approached NR Colony Branch (Bangalore South) of SBI with my uncle (who had an account there) and we met the branch manager with a request to open an account. I had just joined an engineering college then and was new to Bangalore. The branch manager refused outright to open an account in my name. His reason for rejection was this-“Students don’t keep any money in their account-it is not economical for us to operate such accounts. We already have hundreds of such dead accounts. Sorry we don’t want another one”. Despite my assurance that I would maintain the required minimum balance he was not willing to listen and we had to leave. May be he was right in his views, but what he forgot was that students of today will be professionals tomorrow and some of them would even reach the status of HNI (High net worth Individuals).

Want cheapest air tickets? -book direct on airline website
2008-05-18 08:09:00 Do you book your airline tickets through travel aggregators like makemytrip (MMT), Ezeego1,Yatra, Flightraja, cleartrip etc? All of them claim they give you lowest airfare. Some of them offer an “upto 50% cash back offer” when paid through a ICICI platinum and other specific credit cards. Because these websites book several tickets everyday they must be getting some discount from airlines and ideally should pass on a part of it to end users (customers who buy tickets from them). But truth seems to be otherwise. After preliminary inspection I found that booking direct on airline website is cheapest option, as most of the travel sites quoted slightly higher than airline website. Some random sample data for your quick information: One way trip- Origin: MAA , Destination: BOM, Date 23rd May 2008 Indigo flight 6E-422 Fare at airline website: Rs 3174 MMT- Rs 3249 Cleartrip-Rs 3276 Ezeego1-Rs 3301 Yatra- Rs.2,959 (Rs 99 + Rs 2,860 taxes & fees)One way, Origin: BOM, Destinatio...

Manipal Visit – Other updates
2008-05-17 05:25:00 This is a sequel to my previous post on visit to Manipal for Manipal Bloggers’ meet and Manipal Media Students’ convention, MMSC ‘08Some photos of the event are available on Flickr here.Some random thoughts:Mohan spoke about the idea of Blogathon (coined from Blog+Marathon), where all bloggers would blog about a specific issue on a given day. Do you like that idea? I couldn’t see much merits in it-yes, it may give thousands of different perspective on a given issue as thousand minds would key down their thoughts, but as a reader, will you have patience to read thousands of blog posts on same topic? One would get tired/bored before finishing 5th post on same topic. I certainly don’t want to read same topic on all blogs.

Mumbai visit- Quick notes
2008-05-14 06:52:00 Morning: Sat in an auto and saw that minimum fare is just Rs. 1.00 Felt something must be wrong somewhere. Asked the driver why it is showing Re 1. He couldn’t see anything wrong with that and after some discussion I learnt that I need to pay 10 times whatever this meter shows. If it shows Rs 2.5 at the end of the journey I need to pay Rs 25…Was a nice experience this but why can’t they have a proper meter that shows correct amount? Evening: Rented a car for to drive around Mumbai to make use of few hours I had during the evening. Saw Shivaji park-driver told me that Sachin Tendulkar used to practice in this ground in his childhood.

Event Blogging at WebInnovation08-Experience
2008-05-10 07:22:00 It was a good experience attending webInnovation 08 at Mumbai this week (8th May 2008). Live blogging the event was even greater experience.Live blogging was a good new experience for me. Enjoyed every bit of it. But there were some challenges too- the conference room didn’t have any power points where I could charge my laptop. It is impossible to live blog whole day on battery- I had two of them- a 4 cell one and another 6 cell one, together I could manage for half a day and by charging during lunch time I could extend life of laptop for some more time post lunch. Still, if Hotel could have provided electric sockets (which I asked but they said they don’t have) it would have been good. Tata Indicom Plug2Surf was performing decently during initial hours but post lunch the connectivity was very bad.

Start-up woes-how to raise money from VC?
2008-05-09 18:02:00 This post was originally composed for WebInnovation Blog and shares some key extracts one of the speakers (Bikash of iviz) shared about dealing with venture capitalists, in one of the most humorous sessions at webinnovation08, Mumbai.Felt this might be of some use to my blog readers, hence cross posting here with oral permission. Here’re few notes from his talk: How to go about while seeking funds from VCs?Have a strong team-VCs bet on jockeys and not horses. People who lead a startup are scrutinized more than the technology or business.Identify customer pain to understand what would a customer want. Customer is not always bothered about security, but is naturally concerned about the impact on his business continuity. BC, Compliance and Trust building sells.Develop a pain killer-you may be different, but how does that matter to the customer?Stay focused and ask for advice- if you ask for money, you get advice, if you ask for money you get advice-(lol!)First impression is best imp...

Rice, in its most nutrient form...
2008-05-02 09:15:00 It is quite a common scene in Chennai roadside to see carts selling unpolished rice with its gravy. Called KooLu or Kanji in tamil and Ganji in Kannada, they sell nearly 500 ml of this for Rs 5. Many of you will term this as roadside and unhygienic , but this is the most nutrient form of rice available and is certainly worth having. I sampled it twice and don’t see any side effect or harm in this. Mixed with buttermilk and onion and served with fried chilli and raw mango slice, you might actually enjoy eating it.The highly polished white rice we eat sans most of the nutrients, more so with the liquid filtered out. The original, unpolished version of rice takes extra time to cook and not that tasty, hence most of the hotels and households never use it. If you can think of any hotels in your locality which serve this variant of rice in their meals, please drop a comment. Kamat hotel in Milagris, Mangalore is one place where I have enjoyed such a meal.Any thoughts on this issue?Simi... More About: Rice , Form

Watching T20 live-A first timer's experience
2008-04-27 05:11:00 In a sudden turn of events I found myself heading towards MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and watch the IPL T20 cricket match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. This was the first time I ever watched a match live in a stadium and this post shares some experiences of the same.I am not a cricket fan and am quite ignorant of the happenings in that business (you’ve to agree-Cricket is no more a sports-it is pure business). I don’t watch live matches on TV and my interest is confined to checking the result in next day’s newspaper, if possible, for the purpose of GK.Yesterday afternoon, 1430 hours IST, yet to have my lunch I reached home, casually asked my roommate, when does the match starts?

Banner Mania
2008-04-26 18:12:00 The banner nuisance is not new to us but usualy reachs its peak during election time.But thanks to strong enforcements of election commissioner, Mr. Gopalaswamy, banner mania is under check in Karnataka currently.Erecting flex banners with self photo is easiest way to gain publicity and get an identity for yourself as a public personality. You can have some top political leader or some film star in the same banner to support you in case someone objects. Flex banners are pretty cheap. This post reveals that in Manipal (near Udupi, Karnataka), it costs just Rs 13 per square foot for flex banner. At that rate it takes only few hundred rupees per banner and for less than Rs 10000, you can cover your entire locality with banners exhibiting your photo.Though election is prime reason for these banners, you don’t really need a reason if you are determined to erect a banner of yourself. If there’s a festival around, you can wish public with your full size photo in the banner, if some eve... More About: Banner , Mania
Custom designed bottles for recycling
2008-04-22 05:04:00 It has never been a secret that hawkers recycle used mineral water bottles, fill it with tap water (ok, a believed to be fit for drinking water, with no visible impurities) and sell it back to thirty passengers who neither have patience to check the purity of the water, nor have an alternate option to quench their thirst. What surprised me, that some manufacturers of mineral water bottles, knowingly or unknowingly are directly assisting this “sell new water in old bottle” lobby, due a faulty design of bottle caps. Ideally, a cap of a sealed mineral water bottle will have two parts- the main cap and a circular ring which is factory sealed with the main cap. (I don’t know exact technical term-assume description given gives an idea what I am referring to) When you buy a new original mineral water bottle and twist open its cap, the seal breaks, the cap comes out and circular ring remains in the bottle neck.

An idea being implemented-Need your help
2008-04-15 16:10:00 Around 6 months ago, I had written a post that public toilets in Indian cities can be made free, so that public won’t be required to pay Rs 1 every time and we can have a cleaner city (As these people will be discouraged from using public place as loo and make use of well maintained and free public toilets). I’d suggested in the post that operating expenses can be recovered from placing advertisements. (Please Read that post here)It was a good idea indeed and if implemented will contribute to overall beauty and hygiene of the city.

An Old Lady - தாய் மண்ணே வணக்கம்
2008-04-14 22:25:00 Spotted this old lady last week while heading towards nearest Andhra Mess for lunch. Apparently, she was carrying a plant in a vase and due to some reason unknown to me, the vase fell down and crashed into pieces. (Probably it slipped off her hands or some motorist hit her gently forcing the vase off her hands). I found her collecting the nutrient soil (which was inside the pot) in a plastic bag. Don’t have much to write but felt bad seeing her condition. Hot sun of Chennai and no one around to help her, I felt very sorry for her. Wanted to help her but nothing did strike my mind that moment as to how I could have helped her (probably I would have brought her a new pot or dropped her off at her home in an auto?)

Delhi Chats Thiruvanmiyur- Inflation Free?

Conferences and seminars are things of past. Current trend is un-conference and bloggers meet… An un-conference is an informal meet where people meet and discuss various topics of interest without any formal agenda or rigid formats.

Box temple expands itself to encroach public land
2008-04-08 16:25:00 There was a small projection to a compound wall in front of one of the houses wherein a Ganesha Idol was kept and few local people worshipping it. Quite a harmless thing.But I happened to notice recently that a small makeshift fence has been set up around this box temple, occupying public land.No wonder, if this box temple will expand itself to occupy 50% of the road in next 6-12 months. Building places of religious worship is an easy way to make money and occupy precious real estate. Due to sensitive nature of the issue politicians and administration often hesitate to take stern action. Just keeping on record current scenario here, we’ll revisit this post after an year or so to see if the temple has occupied more space by expanding itself. Probably a bigger temple will be built around it with stories cooked up to highlight the historical significance of this place or how powerful this particular god is.Related post: Omkareshwara Temple , Madikeri * Ganesha Festival AftermathBrou...

QuestNet reopens as Lotus Marketing in Sri Lanka?
2008-04-03 04:35:00 Quest Net (aka Gold Quest) is yet another network marketing company which sells overpriced products to members and encourages these members to bring more members to buy its products and gives commission to member when new member signs up under him and buys the product. A binary pyramid kind of compensation plan where in one gets his money back only if he makes around a dozen of his friends/relatives sign up under him, a system wherein only few percentage of people at the very top of the pyramid reap huge benefits while almost everyone else (around 98%) lose their money to their up liners while pursuing a nonexistent dream of financial freedom and instant richness.Simply put, this is akin to MLM scams and Quest net is banned in several countries- US, Srilanka, Afghanistan, Iran and many more because this kind of scheme loots people of their hard earned money and drains millions of dollars of money out of the country.
