How to pay your hathway broadband Internet Bill

Posted by admin on 4th, 2008

Hathway Broadband internet Connection bangalorePaying the Hathway broadband internet bill always ended up being a pain for me. I keep taking the three month pack (3 months Rs:1500+3GB+ 11PM to 9AM free download and it dint have any installation charges as they had some offer for the company i worked).  Off late they have started sending the mails reminding you to make the payments and sometimes even the customer care calls you up for follow up asking you to renew, which i think is good. I often end up renewing only after it get expires and then starts the pain. I drop the check in Hathway boxes kept and these guys dont take the check inspite of repeated calls from you to clear the check.Three times it took a week for me to renew my connection. I am just putting the options available in front of you to pay your Hathway Broadband bills.

Ways in which you can pay your Hathway Internet Bill.

  • Head Directly to their office and Pay! (the most fastest renewal option)
  • Drop a check in Hathway Drop box. You just have to wait for the executive to collect the check from the drop box. Once the check is collected and it reaches the office the account is renewed even before the check is cleared.
  • Drop it in Sky Pack Boxes. I guess this would be a much faster option as the skypack boxes get cleared daily. Almost all companies have one Skypack drop box.
  • Call hathway customer care and ask them to send a executive to collect the check. It is the most easy option available, but always the executive wont be willing to come to your work place (due to distance problems) and he cant come before 10AM or 7PM to you house because he dosent work in between those timings. You have to wait for weekend for this option if your work place is far off from where you stay.

Let me know your Experience! but i must say their service has improved! I face less issues now regarding connection!

Did Priyanka gandhi did the Right thing by visiting Nalini Sriharan?

Posted by admin on 15th, 2008

Nalini Sriharan is a Killer. She killed Rajiv gandhi. Priyanka vadra(gandhi) visited Nalini Sriharan to add some spice bit to the Long running Biggest Political Drama which started screening ever since Indian Independence.

Rahul Gandhi says my family dosent carry Anger . I am not against the gandhi family, infact i have been “Congress from Birth”, a Die hard karunkaran Fraction fan (Congress(I)) who strongly believes the congress party thrives on the Power and popularity of some Charishmatic leaders. Many thoughts came to my mind on reading the news of Priyanka Gandhi meeting her father’s assasin in Vellore jail.

The most common question which like many sensible indians might think is “A Publicity sake visit?”.

Reasons

  • Elections are near
  • Inflation is the talk, congress is loosing image due to this and people live in present and will forget what ever goodness the party has done in the four years
  • Need to build more of the Gandhi Brand for Congress

I dont know i might be linking them un necessarily. Doubts aside. If there is no Hidden Ugenda behind the meet, Priyanka Vadra wow what a great gesture. Very few people in the world can be like you. Forgiving your father’s killer! paying a visit to them! simple an awsome response. At least Nalini sriharan would get a change to regret for her decision.

I hope the media dosent take this matter forward and give it too much publicity nor do the parties politicize this visit for their benefit.

Bangalore Traffic Police Park in St Marks Road

Posted by admin on 13th, 2008

I have never heard about the Bangalore Traffic Police Park untill last week, when the blogaloreans decided to meet in this venue for a quick wrap on the proceedings of Blogathon India.

The Bangalore Traffic Park is in St Marks road, near State Bank of India circle, opposite to a Petrol Bunk u find in this circle. This park is very calm and it has got some childrens play area. It does have some dummy signals and sign boards to educate children on the traffic rules.

Below are some pics from the Bangalore Traffic Police Park. This park does have a small Amphi Theatre good enuf to accomodate less than 100 people and can be used for small get togethers (like the one we had).

Kallada G4 Sleeper Cochin to Bangalore

Posted by admin on 9th, 2008

Kallada G4 Non Ac sleep bus from cochin to bangaloreI have always wanted to travel in a Sleeper Bus, ever since i started shuttling between Bangalore to Cochin and Cochin to Bangalore. This time i got ticket only in a Sleeper in Kallada G4 Non AC bus.

I must say the bed and interiror setup is really good. Its a bit hot though. You have a side window if you open that yea u do get in lotsa air circulation. Every bed has a curtain and you can completely cover your sleeping area. No wonder these buses are called moving “Indian Maniyaras”. Lotsa young crowd misuse it the privacy these sleepers provide and becomes and Ultimate “playground” for them.

If you are travelling for the firs time you may find it a bit uncomfortable when the bus takes right and left and while it overtakes,as you may feel you will fall off the bed. Once you get used to two three turns and after crossing Kerala border, i never knew what happened as i soon fall into sound sleep.

Kallada G4 Non AC sleeper starts from Ernakulam at 7.45 PM and it reached Bangalore by 7AM. Half an hour it halts in Kodakara for Dinner. For people from Erankulam, you can book your Kallada G4 tickets from Ensign travels.

Just incase you thought this bus has only sleeper seats you got it wrong, the bottom part is normal seats and above this seats you have the sleepers. It’s a 2 + 1 sleeper.

Note : The image shown does not represent the actual sleeper bus interior setup

You get an 18 Months + additional 41 days (till april 30th from today ie march 19th). Good na?? Go for this
