Musings of my complex self
Royal Meenakshi Mall – 2 years on
All in all, the mall is still awesome with its various stores, particularly Hypercity and Croma, its food outlets, both inside and outside the mall, and Cinepolis, of course.
Star Trek Into Darkness
And once I watched the movie, I found out I was right. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though there was a small part of me that wanted to see the epicness. The action and pacing was great. Kirk and Spock were excellently portrayed, as expected. But the movie was still somewhat of a mess. It…
A Rant on Customer Service in Social Media age
I want to speak about some shining examples in customer service stories in my experience, and some not-so-shining ones.
Zovi vs. Pepperfry – Who Is Going To Dominate The Fashion World Online?
Buyers cannot afford to assume anyone as their regular customer. With more and more online stores occupying the web space, it is purely the responsibility of the online businesses to ensure they stay connected with their customers.
Installing Ubuntu 13.04 – Mouse (and Touchpad) not working
On restart, I logged in and found that the mouse and touchpad stopped working. I also saw that WiFi was not connected, even though I had connected during installation. I just thought that maybe I would have to enter the password again. But mouse did not work.
Caffe Pascucci – Not worth the wait
All in all, it was not the best experience I have had in a cafe. Cafe Coffee Day, though probably not the same in quality and nowhere near as pretentious, feels more like a hangout place than this. Still, would be open to another chance.
Moghul Darbar – Good only for food
The food, of course, is the only reason to go here. I just ordered two dishes, seeing as I was the only one eating. The all-time favourite – Biryani Rice and Chicken Tikka.
The Mairaj Restaurant – A tale of woeful service
Some times you pay for food, at other times – service. Most of the time, you expect a decent combination of both. That is the expectation I had when I walked in The Mairaj Restaurant, in Tilaknagar area in Bangalore.
A Beast out of control
Yes, it seems amazing to equate power of speech with super-human powers. But maybe we should, if that is what it takes for men and women to realize the power of this beast inside their own head to hurt and to heal.
Donuts at Krispy Kreme
That was until I received an invite to a blogger’s meet at Krispy Kreme one evening. Honestly, I was looking forward more to the meetup than the donuts. I read the reviews and I knew that the donuts had to taste better than what you get at those small bakeries, but I was not that…
Got any book recommendations?
