Worst service. + fooled customers + bucks sucker = bangalore bajaj

 am  a proud owner of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 2002 model... I have enjoyed this machine in it's fully modified state for about two years till 2005(it was preowned - 1 yr. old) ... then i went to abroad.. leaving it with my cousin in pune...When i came back i got it bleeding from all sides...I spent 7k in pune ... to fix basic engine stuff(timing chain and piston etc.) ... I moved to bangalore then but i was not so happy as i used to be with the ride.         
                
I tried in bangalore a lot & spent about 7K  again in order to make my bajaj pulsar 150 back a beast... but no help i changed clutch plates and almost all the possible stuff which could be, apart from engine....As these son of b***h service agents keep on forcing me to go for an engine overhaul which will fix all my problems(they never promised so but tried to convince me to go for it as if god also can not fix my bike without engine overhaul

They said just opening engine costs about 4-5K  and parts & labour charges extra....   This kept on going for about 1&1/2 yrs...I kept on showing to all the mechanics in the locality(BTM, KORAMANGALA, EJIPURA) but no help.. all seems to be right when all they are so similar in opening engine... some times i used to wonder as if bajaj is having some centralized system to fool the customers around.. ;)
                 
Deep in my heart i felt there is something very wrong... i never felt confidence in the words of the serviceman....(fact was that i got parts replaced just few months back for my engine & they can not be bad so soon & these guys are stupid) 
           
Once my bike was over-speeding  & use to go out of control... for which i got it serviced in a popular bajaj (;)) but no help... To my surprise...the issue was old accelerometer wire which was replaced by a mechanic in just 35 bucks...after this i was sure that that corruption & character of the personnel who are sitting in Bajaj service stations.

 I started searching some blogs on web for bangalore bajaj service & thanks to fellows i assured to search for a genuine mechinic rather than BSS(Bajaj authorized service center).....

I finally found a guy whose name is SYED & have small shop on "Marathally" Road with the name S.A. MOTORS on "Bellandur Gate" will be posting his pics & location soon.To my surprise this guy has got character which is not so common in bangalore these days... (even petrol bunk guys don return you bucks until you ask 3 times).... He took only 4 hours & 300 busks (+200 for oil change) ... to fix the issues of my lovely bike without making too much noice... or fooling me around... 
         
This has already started paying back the guy for his honesty as i have already referred many of my friends who are fed up with poor service of bike stations in bangalore... Syed told me ppl come to get bikes serviced from his shop from about 30 KMs in bangalore :)

Do You know why VODAFONE SUCKS .... and AIRTEL rules.... read it how

I am an user of vodafone. for over 1 year...& don take airtel bcoz of sharukh khan(you can laugh here).... 
My bad luck and vodafone's real stupid executives came togather when I shifted from Koramangala to Sarjapur in Bangalore where the network is really week.Well I had the complaint registered with the Cust care fellows mentioning my new address as sarjapur Road.
                   Finally the MOST stupid vodafone executives went to my KORAMANGALA & checked the signal and more over they didn't called me & closed the complaint without my consensus. My friend got surprise gift for complaing same issue from AIRTEL.
               Well finally i walked into vodafone store & the concerned guy started giving me a GYAN about my current address in their system.So obviously iasked him why i will launch a complain saying my new location is not having coverage until i change my residence & i fell now a days dogs also smarter to get my point.
                     NO outcome after that & that executive is still getting salary(Mr Sarin are u listening....dogs are smarter then your executives) . Finally i decided to complain again with cust care.. after many trials I am able to file a complain again this time I have a complain number recorded & if no b(lo)ody heeds to my compains....Then i will definitly take this matter to the court.
                          I tried getting the email ids of CEO vodafone but feel like they are still in the age of phones with a dialer nob or having restless nights due to iPhone's low sales shock.

Genius in iTunes - well.. not so genius !!!

                Recently came the new release of the iTune - iTune -  it has got some cool look & feel in form of cover art & info based management... but for INDIANS not so useful as most of my music comes from peers or sources not so rich in INFO attached to song files. So that's why i had to sit & make my albums not so shying if i Use these new features (I added info manually or modified it) ..... Apple can give some xml editor to do that job.... hope.

 Second big thing apple came up with is the genius algorithm.... Not quite innovative this time from apple as there are many plugins available in Web to do the same job... I read somewhere it is not working well as well... 


Apple must recognize that there are million of itune users are  residing outside USA so obviously they won't have any US credit card and inspite that genius is available on all plateforms apart from MAC.... 

     For using genius u must have iTune account (yes that stupid).... so for the time being i am happy with plugins & thumbs down to steve for his USpoint of view all the time... 

Every confrence i feel this guy will think this time beyond USA and he always launches products for niche groups...

Solution for headache...Wonderful

This saturday(2nd Aug)..I went for some work to Mekhri circle and i saw magic box there(it is a traffic solution invented for bangalore)... well that all was fine but while coming back to my home near sarjapur road I got serious headache, which I get quite often as I am allergic to Pollution(many of us do)... The cause was traffic jam at MG road for about 1 hour.

I did every thing possible to get the rid of this scrap headache which i get every now & then due to traffic or too much travelling...well a list of the tasks includes watching movie...going to flush my carrier, sleeping, walking and having a disprin...Inspite doing many more tricks to get the solution of this headache...but no gain only pain....

Finally my bulb went on & i searched on net for this topic as I was thinking this was due to Empty stomach & I got this link which is simply awsome....

See this later


Coclusion is that I put two cloth clips (pag) in hand & two in my feet and my headache gone in around 10 mins completely.

Reason - After searching more for the accurate cause I came to know that traffic causes CO(carbon monoxide) to your blood beyond limit & headache is first effect of excessive CO in blood.. see this link

Allergy in Bangalore not to Bangalore

Today 3rd July 08 and i got back my allergy of the dust & cold weather...well that was for a while & everything went normal...it makes me leaking fluid like water from my nose contineously.....I got cured this last year, i.e. dec 07 from appolo clinic bangalore's Koramangala center.

Going to history before that i took treatment from Saagar Appolo...& that was most horrible experience i ever had...i went to saagar appolo & the doc said "I too have same problem for years. You must excersice in the morning." & he gave me avil that's all & some blood tests that was useless....with time my allergy turned really severe...(people use to thing that i born with a leaky & chocked nose)... 100+ people 200+ ears & those all suggestions kept on puring on me .....finally in cold days i had to wake up in the night to drink water so that my dry mouth(outa cold air)... will turn wet & i can sleep with my chocked nose & open mouth..Lolz

I was in this allergic attack for almost 6 months but this time i took it seriously as few of my friends kept on telling that allergy never goes away(very true but this doesn't mean u shouldn'tconsult a doctor).....and all north indians have same allergy problem...ha ha ha
Finally I decided to see an ENt speciallist definitly not saagar appolo then what... I countedupon uppolo clinic....& finally i went to the Appolo & met Dr Hasim.....He diagnosed & said this is svere case of Nose blockage as my whole nose canal was swallowed.... :)

Finally he gave me 2 tablets & a fluid to spray in the nose that whole cost me around 1200 INR for one month treatment but this cured me within next two days as i never had the allergy.......

Now this comes back in a month or two....But thanks god it never stops me from working or makes me holding a hanky while discussing a complex problem with my team...........ha ha ha

Good to see that same medicine same doctor same clinic same symptoms cured my brother's allergy as well when he came back from USA & got allergy attack in Bangalore.. :)

Reason - In bangalore plants pour pollen grains/ Pollution / Dust is the main reason for the
allergy which most of the north indians or ppl new to bangalore never faced... and as the temperature is less here so this makes right mix.....

some of my friends suggested me to buy a car to solve my problem...thanks god i didn't buy a quarter million rupee solution.... ;)
