It’s been more than two weeks, I am in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and I am quite enjoying it. The place, weather, people, all are great and I am planning to visit some of Europe if not complete.
Here are some random observations about Eindhoven.
* No three pin power sockets 
(had to buy a new Nokia charger)
* Right hand drive (will take time to get used to it)
* A seprate lane for cycles.. cool ( now, I can cycle to work)
* Generally, People are very friendly and although, native language is Dutch most of the people know English.
* Here Sunday means Sunday. You will not find any shop open, very very less traffic on roads, almost deserted. I believe people love to spend quality time with their family.
Rest will be update later…

You may wonder what Vodafone postpaid connection has got to do with the environment. Yes, there is a very strong connection. Let me explain it.
I have a Vodafone connection from last 2 years and I admit they provide a good service. However, the problem is with their bill (not that they charge more). They send you a hard copy of your mobile bill. You can subscribe for email bill but there is absolutely no way you don’t get this paper bill.
I have tried convincing the customer care representative several times that I do not wish to get the paper bill and they have given me n number of reasons (including a TRAI order.. though I suspect this) to send the paper bill. If they have not sent me the paper bills in last so many months then I might have contributed to save a few branches of a tree if not a tree.
Few years back I had Airtel postpaid connection and they encouraged subscribing for e-bill and after subscribing for e-bill, you will not get the paper bill until specially instructed.
On second thought, you don’t have a Ctrl+F feature in paper bill 
Update on 08th March: After visiting the Vodafone store and giving application to stop sending the paper bill. I am assured by Vodafone that I would no more receive a paper bill.

Today while booking a flight ticket in hurry on Make My Trip, I figured that they do not show you a vital information on their flight summary section. Just before you make a payment for your itinerary, you are shown a flight summary and interestingly, your flight summary has all the information you need except departure time.
Before making payment I wanted to make sure that I clicked on the correct flight and I am paying for the right flight. But, I had to go back and double check that I have clicked the right departure time flight. MMT, are you listening? Please correct this.. don’t latka dijo

It has been ages this blog is updated. Just when you (if there is any!) thought this blog is dead, I am writing this post.
So where I have been?? was busy in work and some other personal stuff and most importantly I was thinking why do I write a blog but then I read Mani’s this post and I thought, I should give it a try and revive this blog.
Now, I am planning to get back into active blogging. Let’s see how things will turn out this time..
PS: Finally, I am also working on my website and hope this would be ready very soon…
