Monday mixture
Mixture of items to blog -
1) Finished setting up Sony home-theater system during the weekend. The system was kept idle at home without being put to use. So, thought of arranging the set up in the so called "Entertainment room". The quality and sound is good. Hope we (family) get to sit, relax and enjoy some movies in future!
2) House wiring - finding plug points in the house has been a hunt. Each room has just one point - that is how houses were wired couple of decades ago. Now-a-days, each room is fitted with atleast 3-4 plug points. To solve my problem, I have been trying to get extension cords and make sure they don't come in the way of we walking around.
3) Big Bazaar drive - My wife and I wanted to check out Big Bazaar on Sunday evening. We drove to two of its outlets and returned home without getting to enter it! No parking space in the Bazaar and surrounding radius of 1 Km.
4) Radio Channels - Radio City is one channel where RJs are supposed to talk always smiling. It is so artificial that at one point, it becomes too monotonous. When RJs talk, they mix English and Kannada and their Kannada sounds more like English. Full estyle ;). I think FM Rainbow and other channels soothening to the listeners than this one.
5) I am trying to get BSNL Broadband. A week ago, they have connected the phone line. Last Saturday, they call my phone and start talking to the walls. They need to improve their conversation skills. I was not impressed :(. This is how the conversation sounded
BSNL: "Hello, we are calling from BSNL. You had put application for Broadband and in the application you have mentioned that you need Type IV modem. We don't provide Type IV anymore. You have to pick Type I or II. Go to your BSNL office and tell them."
I: "What?????? You are the people who accepted the application in person. You must have mentioned it earlier (grrrrr)." Other side cut the phone!
Usually, any customer care call would start like this - "We are calling from ... . Could we talk toCUSTOMER_NAME?" After getting to confirm the recipient of the call, the customer care starts explaining the scenario. In my case, it was just off from blue moon on a Saturday morning.
