2 weeks back I traveled in GoAir for the first time to Mumbai and first time I saw what exactly is business class in cheap airways. The planes that they uses actually don't have business class like the once of Jet Airways but for some additional money (normally costs 60% higher), you can get seats in front two rows and the middle one will be vacant, so you can get more space.

Now I always prefer to take the 3C or 3D or 4C or 4D as I like to have the aisle seat and in front and looking at those business class seats, I don't see much difference in them and what I go for as i am getting the same thing (minus the free food which anyway sucks) and most often the middle seat in my case do get vacant as most of the planes between major cities do get vacant due to big planes.

I just visited Apollo Hospital Delhi today for some regular checkup and I was amazed by the professionalism of the staff (I can say the same thing about other Big Corporate Delhi hospitals too), everything was well organized unlike government hospitals where everything is way too chaotic.

After looking at these corporate hospitals, I strongly feels that corporatism of healthcare in India is going to next big thing, ofcourse they have to maintain the balance between rich and poor too as we can't put all the resources and best doctors to treat people who are paying big bucks. Another thing which I found visiting these hospitals is the number of foreign patients, these hospitals have tieup with companies like exoHealth which help them to get foreign patients, what this does to hospitals is, they can earn big bucks through foreign patients and can channel a part of that earning to treat poor patients of India who can not afford escorts/apollo etc.

When I was in college, I had a SBI and ICICI student account which offers special features as compared to normal savings bank account, now I don't remember all of the features, but one of them was to keep minimum value of Rs 500 (afaik ICICI has 10k minimum limit on normal savings bank account) which was a great feature as back in the days, I barely used to had any money as like may other students. You can know more about ICICI student bank account here so if you are a student, you should look to open a student account.

The only problem with them is, you won't get credit card on them, for that you need a normal bank account only.

If you are fond of taking pics and posting it on various sites like photobucket and flickr to show it to your friends, you better be careful. The default settings of these sties allow anyone to view these pics which means the whole world has access to your pics and this can probably cause lot of embarrassment to you as once anything goes on internet, it can never be brought back

If you have even got poor service or support from any indian company (and the chance are very high that you have) then now you can write a complain about them at Complaints section of ekikrat website.

This is created by a friend of mine, aneesh and I think its an excellent idea that those guy are providing a platform for people to write so much, now what they need to do is to ask the authorities to write responses too as only then the circle will be completed as just people alone writing complaints probably won't solve the purpose.

For frequent travelers, it is relatively easy to move about from one metropolitan city to another. However, other people have to take into consideration several factors before selecting the way to go Chennai to Mumbai or Delhi. The first thing that you need to think about is the time on hand. The next important thing to take into account is the amount of money you would need for the journey, and the last thing that needs to be considered is your convenience.

There basically three convenient ways to go Chennai to Mumbai or Delhi; One is by train, the second is by air, and the third is by road. Chennai-Mumbai distance is 1329 Km, while Chennai-Delhi distance is 2095 Km. If you have ample amount of time and funds in hand, then only you should choose the third option that traveling by road. The first and second options are the most feasible with respect to time, convenience and expense.
