I always related technology with fire - a good servant, but a bad master! Unfortunately, several of us (I am first in line!) have succumbed to lures of technology faster than an Alonso on steroids. I cannot imagine a life without my cell phone, notebook and microwave - but they totally rule the read more...

Point 1 ======= Dear Rajesh, bank interest rates in India will not touch to 5 - 6 %. Look at current rise in PLR after lower rates for last some years. Also, you can make portfolio to invest in other instruments for optimum returns which will yield you more than 9% easily. >> Reply: For pu read more...

I agree with you that time-shares are not necessarily great value for money. However, there are at least a few flaws in your argument. One, no bank with give you a 9% return over long term. Most FD's give you the maximum interest rate for a period between 1 and 2 yrs. Second, if you are with read more...

Was there a 'Little India' in Brazil ? :). After Chinese and Italian, it is not too difficult to see Indian cuisine making a major global impact - and they already have in several of the English-speaking countries... Thanks for writing in! Rajesh

Thanks for writing in - I am a foodie myself and love eating at different places; but I guess I am partial to Italian myself. Rajesh

Nadeeta, Minor crib - I was hoping you would include the rationale behind picking these five among the host of talented scribes we have at MS! Was it the writing styles, the language, the humor... that kind of feedback! Can't complain about your choices though - nice picks. Rajesh

Great topic to write on, right time to write it and, as usual, very well written. Rapid chess, blind chess and one-against many competitions are helping popularize the game and especially in small towns and townships it is immensely popular among children. There is quiet a bit of money in th read more...

Don't agree with your opinion on Tabu though - I though she fit the role pretty well. Maybe you were expecting a certain Ashima after reading the book and when the same Ashima didn't turn up you felt disappointed? Maybe... Regardless, a power-packed yet succinctly written review. Great Stuff! read more...

Ha! Ha! I am sorry to say this, but I really enjoyed your hilarious adventure (for the 3rd party anyway!). I hold an HSBC card myself for 3+ years now and (touchwood; fingers and toes crossed) no bad experiences yet! All the best - do let us know how it ended!

In fact, if you make a complaint to the governing authority (RBI?), I believe ICICI gets fined for each and every misdemeanour.

Nice place; good ambience; great starters. I was disappointed by the main course though. The sandwhich I ordered was too soggy and the veggies were not fresh. Overall, have to concur with swill - nice place to chill over a pitcher.

As always. We are due for our annual vacation shortly - I was deciding between Cambodia, Vietnam (esp. Angkor) and beaches of Malaysia (Langkawi, Pulau Terrengani). Now maybe I have to weigh the rain forests as a third option??

You have more or less endorsed my thoughts on the Estillo; I had strikingly similar thoughts. And very well written - I think you have managed to cover all aspects of the car in your review! - Rajesh
