 Just Dial  Guruji

Wanna find out if there is any Pizza Hut / Subway / McDonalds or for that matter any other restaurant chain near your house ? or its Sunday and you have misplaced the number of the restaurant from where you normally have your food delivered.. Just log on to the net and use localized search thanks to Just Dial and Guruji

Click on the images above and you will understand what I mean. I have been using the services of Just Dial for few years now (As far as I remember since I was in school, I used to dial 888 88 88 for help) and am truly impressed with the kind of services they have started offering to the end user. One of the features that I like is the Send to Mobile/Email. Its really cool.

I was surprised to find information of most of restaurants that are near my house!! It really saved me a trip while ordering food as somehow I had misplaced all the “Home Delivery Menu” of the restaurants near my place.

Over ambitious !

Posted by Nishit Shah on April 5th, 2007

My house is under renovation for the past 2 months and its approximately gonna take another 2 more months. Its come to a stage where only the drawing room and my room are remaining to be furnished. So, I have been chucked out of my room along with my belongings to my little sister’s room and to my discomfort, when the electric connections were being taken around the house I didn’t take my net connection in her room nor parent’s bedroom. Reason, I wanted to setup Wi-Fi at my place so that I can access net anywhere at my place. Of course, I will be setting this up once the house is furnished, however, I am without Internet till that time :( It wouldn’t have harmed me if I would have taken a Cat-5 connecting other rooms. Now its too late because conceal wiring has already been done :( Feel so bad about it !

Roti, Kapda n Broadband.

Posted by Nishit Shah on December 30th, 2006

These are the 3 things that I can’t live without, not necessarily in that order ! Finally changed my ISP from Sify back to Exattnet for a fundoo broadband connection. Got a 128 kpbs unlimited download 24 hrs connection for just 3K annually including taxes dat comes to just Rs. 250/month…dirt cheap. Good enough for me to survive for a year. Was paying Rs 460/month with taxes to Sify for 150 MB download limit between 8am to 10pm n unlimited at night. But this connection is wayyy better.. I feel like GOD..
