Today I accompanied my teenage daughter to see the flamingoes at the Coastal Marine Biodiversity Park at Airoli, Mumbai

Its a very well designed set up. Do visit with family.
Bookings are easily done  over the telephone.
The staff were informative and courteous.
The boat tour was very good.

If our Government is capabale of setting up a world class facility like this I wonder why we can't  have carpets for roads!

Back to basics

Blogging after ages.

Note to self : be more consistent.

The past 3 years have been hectic.
Loved every moment.

From an interest in Saving Aarey Forest , to taking  my warli women friends on an ententrepreneurial journey, to becoming a motivational speaker.

So much & more in the next post

Videocon n Electrolux faulty fridge, beware

I bought a NO FROST Electrolux fridge from Vijay sales Borivali and one week into its usage the fridge started accumulating ice in the freezer compartment roof n sides, after many calls and many visits from the technicians of Service Delight( the repair centre that services the Videocon range) the fridge was taken for repairs.
The problem still persisted, the technicians are telling me that the ICE in the NO FROST freezer compartment is NORMAL????

I fail to see how this is normal. I have used a NO FROST fridge for 20 years prior to purchasing this one so I am aware of how a no frost fridge functions.

I have emailed /posted pics of the ice inside the freezer roof n sides to the company, no response.
I have asked that they either refund my money or replace my fridge free of cost.
Their response is awaited.

Sony Ericsson to the consumer court

I've been at the recieving end of faulty gadgets for too long and have now decided to fight for what I paid for.

1. I bought my son a phone after he finished his 10th and he chose a SONY Ericsson W595! paid some 14K for it. I rue the day he made his selection, the phone has been nothing but trouble!

3 months after purchase the phone packed up,
was repaired after a month,
packed up again after a month,
was repaired for a Second time ,
worked for some 4 months and then packed up totally.

Its currently not working and my emails/calls to the their service helpline is falling on deaf ears!
HELP,

I need to know the address to which I can send the company a legal notice/show cause letter as RTE services (the Sony Ericsson callcentre?)helpline has said there is NO physical address to which I can send my letter!

today's a lazy day!

im a lazy bum today

went for my walk untill 7.10

went back to bed... surfaced at 10.50

lets see what the day brings

I"m thinking about how comfortable old friends can be.
I have experienced old friends from my childhood/growing up years/college ...... but friends one makes on the internet?
Where do they fit in?
How does one feel about friends one makes across the ether,
most nameless but nonetheless friends..........
who do care to ask ....HOW HAVE U BEEN? and WHERE THE HELL DID U DISSAPPEAR TO?
even though they dont know your name?
Did I touch them in any way?
It nice to be missed!

of random musings

its been a while since i have enterend anything in this blog, it is not for want of time , its just been that ive never actually sat down and put thoughts to paper/ether.
A lot has been happening in my life and I feel I have been blessed with a good life.
I am trying to shake loose from my verbal inactivity and put down what has been happening in my life. good and bad.
Right now I am actively using my spare time to promote the items made by handicapped & spastic kids adults, candles, quilts , chocolates. The work they do is amazingly neat , its just a question of finding a sales outlet..... any takers?
