ICICI BookMyshow Fraud

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 02:16 AM PST

This is for those who have an ICICI credit card or debit card which proclaims certain special benefits on on-line bookmyshow bookings.

 

It reads something like this...

 

 Get up to Rs. 200 off every month on movie tickets

Rs. 100 off on every movie ticket booked on www.bookmyshow.com. Maximum 2 tickets can be booked per month.

 

. Nice na...BullS**t......

 

when i tried to book a movie then apply the coupon through bookmyshow website it said that

 

"Sorry, we can`t proceed with the booking for this offer since the Total Number of Tickets for Today has been exhausted OR You may have applied it to an ongoing transaction which is not yet cancelled. Please try again after 20 mins."

 

so you think you did something wrong then again u try and again u get the same msg ..

 

So what is matter..

 

ICICI has a daily quota for the number of tickets which can be booked through this coupon as said to me by CC. This thing is nowhere mentioned in the website clearly , only some text in T&C with no mention of the total no of seats.

 

So no one knows what the quota is !!! great....even IRCTC is more transparent in this.

 

Clearly ICICI & Bookmyshow lived up to their expectations. best at fooling the customers...

 

 

Request everyone to share this as much as possible so that these people stop this BS , fooling customers by lofty banners on their websites and pamphlets.

Rumors are circulating that Nokia's first extra-large smartphone, possibly called the Lumia 1520, is near launch. If it's real, you might be looking at it -- Windows Phone Central has obtained a photo that purportedly shows the device for the first time.

BJP is against gay rights

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 01:33 AM PST

BJP breaks silence on Sec 377, says party will never support homosexuality

 

BJP President Rajnath Singh said, "We will state (at an all-party meeting if it is called) that we support Section 377 because we believe that homosexuality is an unnatural act and cannot be supported." It seems the BJP has now dropped its circumspection, probably on the assessment that the gay community is not electorally significant and the party stands to suffer a dent in its traditional base if it is seen to be supporting "unnatural acts".

Samsung Galaxy S III

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 01:28 AM PST

I am calling bullshit on this article. Purported Samsung Galaxy S III specs revealed - GSMArena.com news

Quad-core 2.0GHz processor.
1.5GB RAM, expandable memory with 32GB built-in.
4.65-inch Super AMOLED III display developed specially for this phone with an odd 1280 x 1024 resolution, which will give it a pixel density of 352-PPI, the highest on a smartphone so far.
10 megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p videos at 60fps.
Metal body with 9mm thickness and a 2,250mAh battery.
Built-in NFC.


Samsung is planning to announce the device at MWC 2012 with a worldwide release planned sometime in mid-2012.


in any case a device that is planned for launch around 8-9 months from now? these rumors does not account to anything.

General Enquiry placed for Tata Docomo Broadband

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 12:54 AM PST

So, I requested a call back asking details of plans and feasibility in two close by locations including my current residence. Have got calls thrice, once they even promised to send sales executive but no one turned up. The other call said they will check feasibility at both locations and call back. The third one just took my details and said will call back. 

 

All this is the past week or so. Lets see how this goes.

ACT Broadband Bangalore Reviews

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 10:47 PM PST

Hello Readers,

My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband.

I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263.

Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again.

I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week.

I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response.

Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband
1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in]
2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number.
3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so]
4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them
5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians]
6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service

Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time.

Yenthiran – First look!September 05, 2008Shankar's dream project Robot is already a hot cake among the media, with news updates coming out thick and fast. The latest scoop is that the movie might be titled Yenthiran and not Yenthiram. There is also news about the photo shoot which took place. The first look of Yenthiran, which will be released to the media soon, will have a completely shaved, suave looking Rajinikanth in designer

sun glasses and a metal cap. And the highlight of the poster would a red rose that the Superstar will be holding.
The poster also carries a byline – The Robot!
There seems to a different set of posters designed for Aishwarya Rai.

Shahrukh up in arms against Robot September 04, 2008Shahrukh Khan had initially planned to produce and act in Shankar’s Robot. But this plan did not take off and the offer finally landed on superstar Rajinikanth. With the film being made in Tamil, the director decided to opt for a name change to get the tax sops announced by the Tamil Nadu government for films with Tamil names. It is now believed that Robot will be rechristened Yenthram.

Meanwhile, Shahrukh’s production house Red Chilies has created a stir in the film industry by registering about nine names that have the word Robot in it. Director Shankar had plans to simultaneously make it in Hindi because Ashwarya Rai-Bachchan plays the female lead. With Shah Rukh’s title registering act Robot in Hindi could suffer a major blow. Wonder what the star is up to!

Internet down

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 09:29 PM PST

It has just been about 8 days since I took up the ACT Broadband connection and it has failed since 3 PM today. I have raised a complaint and the number is 0001483153. I shifted from YOU broadband to ACT assuming that I would have uninterrupted service here, however that does not seem to be the case. A failure in under 10 days is totally unacceptable and I have not been able to work since 3 PM. I work from home mostly and this down time is totally unacceptable. 

 

Please prioritize this and sort out my issue failing which I will be terminating my connection.

Need a wireless broadband for streaming videos.

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 07:29 PM PST

Hi, I live in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Here in the city there are many ISP available but my area is not feasible by any ISP except BSNL and here BSNL broadband( wire-line) really sucks. Its upload speed is pathetic. Right now I am using BSNL Evdo its good for download but upload speed, I really don't except more from it.

Even in this city only reliance broadband have good upload speed which gives near 1 mbps upload speed.

Suggest me a wireless broadband which gives me good upload speed. And also it should be unlimited. 3G and MTS like EVDO services are not unlimited and they are too much expensive.

 

I only had seen a video on YouTube of Reliance WiMax which gives more than 1 mbps upload speed. But only one video which is not sufficient for trusting.

What I need only good upload speed.

Legalization of marijuana?

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 04:06 PM PST

I am not very knowledgeable about the types of weed or dope or the side effects. But the question is...

If the government loves to generate money from sale of cigarettes and alcohol... why is weed considered to be the bad boy?

I can drink booze but I cannot dope legally. What is the difference between the two!

And, it isn't just bitcoin, which has caught the fancy of investors and consumers. Other digital currencies are on the rise, each with their unique crypto code.

In fact, a team of engineers and professionals are working to bring out 'laxmicoin', a digital currency engineered specifically for use in India.

Deepak Mantwal, a founding member of the 'laxmicoin' team, is expected to speak on 'laxmicoin' at the conference here on Sunday, where enthusiasts, venture capitalists, and bank officials will meet, and perhaps provide details regarding its launch.

 

And now, a desi digital currency in the offing — www.thehindu.com — Readability

 

Laxmi coin might be the official website.

Gurgaon to soon get prepaid rickshaw booths (hopefully!)

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 02:36 PM PST

 

Taking the cue from Delhi, the district administration is planning to set up prepaid rickshaw booths at various locations in the city. The idea is to streamline the autorickshaw traffic in the city. There are around 18,000 autos in the district, providing round-the-clock transport facility to passengers.

About the possible locations where these prepaid auto booths will come up, Vidyarthi said: "The HUDA City Centre Metro Station is going to have the first prepaid booth. Modalities are being worked out to set up the new system."
