I'm a strategic analyst by day and a web evangelist by night:-) I'm passionate about the Internet, believing it to be one of those rare forces for good that I will be fortunate to see in my lifetime - however I am sorely disappointed by the lackadaisical and unprofessional attitude of Indian websites and I hope at least the reviews on Mouthshut will go some way in persuading them to mend their ways.

Great review, like the earlier one:-) I remember the problems with a similar service in Mumbai was that the government has kept the no. of taxi permits issued at 55,000 and Meru, in fact, was able to break into the Mumbai market only by buying All India permits for its taxis at astronomical sums. read more...
Great advice on shopping...just wondering why you have it in two parts, though. With inflation biting at the consumers heels, I have a feeling that online shopping is also headed into a downturn, just as it was about to gain some traction. Speaking for myself, I have sharply curtailed ’’screen’’ read more...

rofl:-) I think you owe to your readers (and potential world space buyers like me) to continue with your recounting of your tryst with world space....in any case, I hope a word space service is still better than a partridge in a pear tree

You could add utility to this review by giving us the co-ordinates of Hiliya Resort, as well as more specific details such as room rates and whether they included food, etc Cheers! Cherian

My advice to one and all would be to keep away from any online initiative of the Times of India group. They were born to cheat
Thanks for your comments. Yes, Coolwater, I used to be a DJ of sorts way back in the nineties on Times FM:-)

Thks for the clarification, spuranik. Since's it's the winter here in Delhi and I've just bought an Indica, I was wondering about this point. Really enjoyed reading yr review. Keep them coming!!
Thanks for demystifying the workings of the diesel engine:-) Just one query, is it necessary to warm up a diesel engine after a cold start if as you say cold affects diesel engines to a much lesser degree than petrol engines
Commented on rickdar's review
After a number of bad experiences with Indian online merchants, I had resolved never to buy anything through them, ever. Just as that resolve was weakening, your review has served as a timely reminder that our merchants will always provide shoddy service, whether they are online or offline. But, at read more...

I'm a newbie to Mouthshut, so please pardon my ignorance, but isn't it enough if the first person to write on a particular product or service goes the whole hog and gives all the details concerning that particular product or service and the ones who follow could just confine themselves to that parti read more...
