2 Useful tips

recently i came across 2 good facility which saved time and money .U might have already knew this ,But this is for the one who are not aware of this facility .

Here we go .

1 ) on the day of train journey if ur ticket is either waitlisted or RAC , to check the final status of ticket normally we will look at final charts ,check at enquiry, enquire TTR ,check thru internet, call railways customer care center etc .Now u can avoid all these , simply type pnr followed by space and 10 digit pnr number and send it to 139 .

example

pnr 4414519190

and send it to 139 . U will get ur ticket status in a jiffy [Which coach ,seat no ,train name etc ] .This certainly saves lot of tension and waiting time at queue.


2) If u want some extra passport photos[Assuming ur having already one good photo] , normally u will got to photo studios to get the extra copies. They will charge around Rs 40 or Rs 30 for 8 photos [It may vary from studio to studio] .Instead , if you give the same to color Xerox center , u can have 16 photos for Rs 20 only . The quality is also quite good

More Interest for your savings bank account from this April onwards + Fund transfer

From this April, the balance in your savings account will earn interest on a daily basis, following the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to implement new interest calculation methods on such accounts.

The payment of interest on SB accounts (3.5 per cent at present) would be calculated on a daily product basis with effect from April 1, 2010. For Rs 1,000, you will get an annual interest of Rs 35 which will be divided into per day interest to be credited to one’s account.



At present, banks calculate interest on SB accounts on the minimum balances held during the period from the 10th day to the last day of each calendar month. This means that one would end up either in not getting the interest for money kept from 1st to 10th or only on the minimum balance maintained during the last 20 days of the month.


NEFT - Fund Transfer

Reserve Bank of India has waived the processing or service charges for member banks till March 31, 2010. Accordingly, member banks participating in NEFT need not pay any processing or service charges to Reserve Bank of India. But from April 1,2010 onwards , member banks have to pay some amount to RBI ,who in turn will turn to us for the charges. So u have to pay some extra charge for each transfer . Very soon u will get intimation from all banks . HDFC is already chargeing Rs 5 per transacton

Abn Amro is now RBS

RBS[Royal bank of Scotland,British] acquired the Asian operations of ABN Amro [Netherland]Bank in 2007, but ABN Amro continues to operate in India under its original name for some times .But from this month onwards , you can see RBS logo in every ABN AMRO Atms and banks in India.

Vinnai thandi Varuvaya

First of all I want to make it clear that this review is not from an ardent fan of Trisha ,but just a review from a movie buff.


VTV is truly one of the best movie that hit the theatres in recent time. It is quite refreshing to see this kind of movies doing a good businessand movies like Vettikaran and Asal are shown the door. It seems the ingredients for Tamil cinema is changing. One of the main reason for success of this movie is down to earth approach.Somehow this movie brings nostalgic memories in ones life . Kudos to the whole team for helping to relieve the feelings .It doesn't matter how many times we see the backwaters of Kerala , it continues to looks stuuning. The picturisation of the songs is simply remarkable.


Trisha : By far one of her best performance . She plays the role of confused and excited girl with ease .After Sneha & Pooja this lass is the one who knows how to act .It's time she should avoid doing films like kurvi, Thirupachi etc. She looks quite ravishing in this movie .She has come up long way from her Jodi days. Ever since I saw her first on Vikatan Magazine front cover [Miss Chennai- 1999] , I was bowled over by her beauty. I admit that she doesn't have a great look like her co competitors .But still ,like the dialogue in this movie , of all the girls in this world , she continues to mesmerize me for more than decades .

Simbhu : Well initially, I decided not to watch this movie, because of him. But the desire to see Trisha wins finally. Surprisingly he had done it very beautifully beyond every one expectations .
He looks awesome and his expression seems quite natural [Courtesy Nayanthara ? ].

Rahman : Personally I feel after a long time , all the songs came very good . Hosanna and Anbil avan find their way to my all time favorite list.

Goutham Menon : Once again he has proved that he is no 2 director in Tamil movie industry . His ability to bring the best from actors/actress and selecting apt people for the roles once again stood out .
Particularly the character of Ganesh[Cameraman] .



Overall it is movie for reality loving peoples and especially for lovers and very very special for those who failed in their love .

Note : In coming days, i will be reviewing feel good movies like this in my blog .Interested one can visit there

Accenture and Sasken

After tasting work at client place for the first time , i decided to give up vow to not to work at accenture again .It was one of the worst day in chennai , with heavy rain pouring around , i reached the office .Old golden memories came to me .But to my dismay they said i can attend after 1.6 years only .

Today was maiden visit RMZ Millenia park for sasken interview .Tomy disappointment i couldn't clear it .Some how i have to get a better permanent job .Things are not looking good .Counting all my luck on this Friday

I am Kcab[Back]

At last ,the derailed ArunIT Express is back on track.Thanks to the offer from Saksoft.Even though i waited for around 11 months to hear the good news, when i had the moment today, i didn't felt much happy at all .Previously I used to break down , when i taste success after a failure.But this time around , nothing at all.May be i am used to the situation like this or this is small concern and i have to work in a client place which i never liked it or may be i have reached a stage in my life that i am able to control my feelings.What ever it might be ,it has given some hope that i needed very badly.

Although these tough 10 months have took away some fabulous moments from my life , it had its own advantage also.During this time I revamped several hobbies and also developed some new hobbies.Had a plan to do a separate blog on it in future.

Kumbakonam and Thanjavur Visit

Date : Oct 18 and 19,2009

Got my first chance to see Kumbakonam.thanks to SuryaNaryanar Temple at there. Initially started the temple visit by going to SriNageswar temple [God Ragu] along with my parents. Had to stand more than 2 hours
in the queue to see god.From there we went to near by Oppuliappan Temple[Lord Perumal]. The next day we went to SooryaNarayanar Temple[Lord Sun].It was simply awesome. This is my first visit to sun god temple.


It is located at the center of Kumbakonam where are all other temples are situated around it which is exactly same as that of Sun surrounded by its other planets.It is mind boggling how our ancestors are able to
predict all these planets in that period itself without any special intstuments.We winded up our tour to kumbakonam by vi sting a siva temple at Thiruvidai Maruthur .Again it is one of the biggest temple i have visited in my life time

Overall kumabakonam is really fascinating city which is really rich in nature and temples .Must visit this place in future to visit all other temples.

Thanjvur
Started with Thanjai Palace .It is really painful to see the poor maintenance by the authorities.The watch tower is one of the main attraction here.Then some of the paintings and sculptures makes this place must visit one.At particular
place in palace there are innumerable varieties of butterfly are flying around.Then there is a hand loom sector to by some souvenir but the price are quite costly .

From there we went to the Big temple alias Bradheswar Temple .It is one of the proud architecture beauty of our country.Way back in 1989 i came to this place as a school excursion . I can still remember buying the famous thanjavur head rolling doll for Rs 1 at that time .The same doll costs around Rs 40 this time .With in
two decades price rise is really high .After vi sting this place ,one can't help themselves by thinking how it is possible to build a temple like this .It is really fantastic,amazing and incredulous architecture wonder.

It will never bore you ,even if you visit this place quite often,such is the beauty of this place.It is must visit for those who loves arts.

AMPA Skywalk

Yesterday had an opportunity to visit this mall as it was opening day . It looks promising but really i have to say the skywalk structure on top of the building is not that good as it appeared on paper.


very few shops have opened on the inaugural day .Had to visit it after some couple of months.

It's Raining Malls and Multiplex in Chennai

Chennai gets one more landmark .Thanks to the newly to be opened shoping mall on September 28,09 at the junction of Cholimedu and poondhamalle high road.Christened as Ampa Sky walk - named due to a bridge which is suspended above 80 feet from ground level will have usual flavors of malls which includes eat out's like kfc,MacDonald,Pizza hut,and TGI Friday[First outlet in chennai].
Branded apparels like Benetton,Giordano,Jussport,Mustard,Bossini and Hush Puppies etc will have separate outlets.
Of course a mall in Chennai is never completed one without Landmark outlet, .Hence they are opening there 4th branch in Chennai here also.PVR Multiplex comes to Chennai thru this mall with seven screens.

I am very much looking forward to the opening of "Express Avenue" shopping mall which will likely start to function from last month of 2009.This mall located at whites rd , will see Satyam cinemas to open their second
outlet in Chennai city .

Other upcoming Important malls and Multiplexes are

Riverside Mall,Karapakkam - This is really going to be boon for IT guys.And what more Reliance brand Fame Ad labs
Cinemas will enter Chennai thru this Riverside Jumbo mall[Marg construction] with four screens initially.

Bangalore fame Prestige group lay their hands on Chennai thru their Forum mall at Vadapalani.

Also Ozone group started their mall construction in Annanagar and major construction group also started their

mall in siruseri ,omr.

So chennaities get ready for more window shopping and its going to be tough times for grooms to be guys.

Cinemax multiplex and Cinepolis Multiplex also venturing their Chennai debut in one of the coming malls.

And finally just for an information Chennai evergreen landmark "Spencer Plaza "is India's first shopping mall
and it was started on 1975.Amazingly none of the new shopping malls aren't able to compete with it
in terms of size and attractions .
