Samsung...Deserves praise!

Hi Guys,

It's long time since I blogged, and now I am back in action. Today I am writing this note with my experience with Samsung India service. My Television (Samsung) went in to coma last week-end and the service guy who inspected the set declared the PCB be changed as it got partially or maximum damaged due to some power surge (very common in Bangalore?). I couldn't decide immediately as it costs more for the change of circuit and hence decided to take the TV to Samsung Customer Service Center at BTM layout (Yes...the same traffic messed BTM layout my fellow Bangalorean). As son as reached the place - it was raining already - the security guard informed an attender and my TV got a warm welcome to Samsung center and found a warm place @ Discussion room! Just with in 10 minutes it was attended and I was informed that for a PCB change I would get a brand new 200 channel, Game included TV circuit in place of the old circuit for 3800 Rs. only. What a surprise....The same TV that gets sold for 4 folds in the market would come to me cheap. I ordered for the same and within 24 hours it was delivered at my home (3 after-service calls from their team too)

Altogether it was a pleasent experience today, in contrast to most service providers in India! Keep it up Samsung!

Yes..I forgot to mention about a follow-up call from Delhi call center of Samsung asking if they charged me correct amount! Wow...I am a King as customer of Samsung!

Building My Duplex House - Part One - Commencing Work...

Folks, Finally the good news is here to announce.  I have started construction of my dream house in Bangalore.  It all started early this year (2008)! I visited my daughter's friend Janani on a weekend and shared her father's experience in building their duplex house in a 30x40 sqft plot. I liked the house especially the sun-light passing staircase. That's when I decided to go for my own house. Luckily I bought a 30x40 plot near Electronic City - Singasandra village in the year 2003 for a throw-away price (now). After 4+ years the value of the land in those areas have skyrocketted - almost 7 times.  Then I got in touch with my architect - referred by Janani's father - in  M arch 2008.  Went through couple of round of discussions on the plan, saw some basic samples and then confirmed his services in  April 2008  by paying a decent advance. (The cost the architect's charge is based on the building costs - but I negotiated for a fixed cost as the actual costs will vary

Kerala Trip 2009: Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey (Slide-show)

Took off to Kerala for 5 days (21st Sep to 25th Sep). I have been planning for a Kerala trip for quite sometime and finally got a chance to do it! Kids were at home for pooja holidays and I got my leave approved for a week. What else? We travelled to Kerala - Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey. I didn't want to drive from Bangalore and hence decided to take the air route to Cochin and then a package tour option through CocoKerala! All went well and the rain gods didn't interrupt us too much. Day 1: Bangalore to Cochin by Go Air, no frills airline. From Cochin to Munnar by road (Tavera, SUV). Day 2: At Munnar. Took a whole body massage, very refreshing! Then to Mattupetty, Kundala dam. Day 3: From Munnar to Thekkady. Elephant ride and Spice garden visit Day 4: Early morning boating at Thekkady. Spotted some wildlife up-close. Elephants, fox, deer, wild-pigs etc. By road to Alleppey and checked in to House-boat at Punnamada, Alleppey. Ride along the paddy fields - breathtaking! Stayed
