Ranjith’s Castle

I read about http://www.88888.co.in/ the site that insist you to cut off all your electricity usage for 8 minutes on 8/8/8 at 8 PM. I think we should take this movement seriously and do this. I hate things that are always associated with a day.

Father’s day / Mother’s day - Do you think of them only on those days. You think about them all days.

In the similar fashion, it will be good to extend this to all days. You can try the following:

• Try to sleep one day night without Air conditioners if you are a regular user of it.
• Try to switch off all your fans, keep your beds arranged near the open windows for one day.
• Stop keeping electric appliance like Television in the standby mode.

We can have a long growing like this.

Let us give the globe a longer life !!!

Cheers - Ranjith

I was out to my native and was on a long weekend!! My native being on the Southern most part of India is currently on the days of the South West monsoon with the Courtallam Season ON.  I was able to find the same amount of venom from the sun, but the winds blowing with a little of humidity made me feel much relaxed and cool. Being in the city, We really miss a lot of good things found around the country.

• A relaxed life.
• Good Air and water.
• Great winds that consoles your body and mind.
• Green Trees where you love to rest by.

I feel little nostalgic and want to live in such a peace rather than living in the hot polluted city.

The main constraint of moving to such place being in the software industry is the necessity of Internet to make your living. Tele-com Vendors are feeling the necessity to taking broadband to these places.  I feel that the days are not too long for us to migrate to such place. Waiting for the opportunity.

Cheers - Ranjith

I am not sure why this thought came into my Mind today. I have updated the same on my Twitter too. Anyhow today it is gonna be work for me. All of sudden a message landed on my mobile at a totally unsolicited time asking a question,“Planning what to do this evening?”

I always used to spend this night at my friends house having all chats and gossips. This message is just a add for a service which can help find resturants, bars, club, around the city. I was autonished to see these guys sends a url that gets loaded on the mobile itself. India is moving moving very fast to the Mobile network rather than the conventional network used for the past 15+ years.

The service is nothing but B U R R P. Interesting to see these guys have options for the most happening cities of India - Mumbai,Bangalore,Delhi,Pune,Hyderabad,Chennai,Ahmedabad and Kolkata. It is good to see a lot of things happening in the mobile world of India. I am not sure how good the service it offers. I really loved the concept of the service.

I was talking to couple of My friends at office. Their Cars are still getting filled with Petrol from Shell Bunks. I discontinued filling shell diesel when the difference in price went over Rs 2/=.Do you know there is a cost difference of Rs 10/= from the Normal bunks having the same premium quality and of Rs 13/= for petrol.I would like to know the benefits you get against this cost difference ?

Some of the vehicle service centers advice to fill only normal petrols/ diesels against this super charged fuels. We are getting advises on the other way also.

I am not sure about the price of the fuel in the Reliance outlets on the Highways. We have stopped filling there too as the prices went up.

Cheers - Ranjith

Disclaimer:- I hold shares of Reliance petroleum. This is written in General interest and has no intentions against Reliance or Shell.

Update: I know that Reliance has announced for closure of some of its fuel out lets and as per a mail from my friend, it seems that Reliance has almost closed most of its Fuel Outlets across the country.

BSNL seems to have some problem. Some websites are not going intermittently. It seems that the DNS query for the particular sites are failing at some particular point of time.  This is happening from the last Saturday for me. I was not able to access google sites on that day. A couple of days back a friend of mine is not able to access the Zoho Services.

Cheers,
