Philips - Multigroom Grooming kit QG3250/32 - Grooming kits - Beard stylers and grooming kits - Personal care

I WANT TO BUY THIS ONE BECAUSE IT HASE EAR NOSE EYEBROW TRIMMER TOO....BUT AM CONFUSED, IS IT GOOD FOR BEARD TRIMMING , ??? BETTER THAN Philips - Stubble and beard trimmer With zoomring - QT4019/15 - Beard trimmers - Beard stylers and grooming kits - Personal care ????

I hate the new Interactions page. Earlier it just used to say, 'ABC and n others retweeted you', but now along with this message it also shows each retweet separately. I get to see the same tweet of mine n times before I get to see a mention. This new update makes no sense tbh.

I believe in North India where the temp in summers consistently Hits 45 degrees it's better to go with general air conditioners. They have excellent cooling and extremely reliable the only downside is non existent service network from the company. if you need quality with great service daikin is the way forward. They are very silent and cools very quickly.

I'm using a Sharp window in my Delhi home. it's a very decent product too.

ohhk that ways.

The recent 3G tariff war has witnessed involvement of almost all telecom operator in making 3G service more affordable in India. This time, its State-run telecom operator BSNL who is all set to reduce its 3G data rates. BSNL has added new prepaid 3G Data pack of Rs.151 with 7 days validity offering 1000 MB free data usage. BSNL has also rationalized 3G prepaid data vouchers and postpaid data plans which will be effective from this 1st June 2012. BSNL 3G Data coupon of Rs.25 (validity 3 days) will now offer 100 MB data usage compared to earlier 50 MB. BSNL 3G Data Coupon of Rs.50 has been made more attractive by increasing free data usage from 100 MB to 200 MB ; and validity from 7 days to 15 days. Similarly, BSNL 3G Data Coupon of Rs.100 will allow free data usage of 300 MB instead of 225 MB; and validity increased from 15 days to 30 days. Postpaid 3G customers can get Rs.100 plan at Rs.90 p.m.

As promotional offer for 90 days, BSNL will offer 25% extra bundled free usage in selected Data plan or Voucher. The 3G 300 and 3G 500 data vouchers will get extra 25% data usage during promotion period i.e. 1250 MB and 2500 MB respectively. The MRP of these 3G vouchers also has been reduced to Rs.250 and Rs.450 respectively. These two 3G plans are also available to postpaid customers at fixed monthly cost of Rs.220 and Rs.400 respectively. The additional usage charges beyond free data usage limit for BSNL 2G and BSNL 3G prepaid data plan/voucher and data usage charges for prepaid voice plans revised from 4p per 10kb to 2p per 10 kb. BSNL has also decided to withdraw existing 3G vouchers of Rs.10 and Rs.200.

31st is India VS pakistan

My 6-month long saga finally came to an end yesterday. Many technicians came and went. One of them suggested that I keep the STB outside the TV cabinet so that it would be better cooled. That didnt help. Finally, one smart fellow told us that our VC card was faulty. I had no idea how he determined that. The condition here was that a replacement VC card would cost me Rs. 400. I told the service center that I would pay only if the problem did indeed get fixed considering I had already paid close to Rs. 2000 for all the replacements done. That was not acceptable to them. So I told them I was going with TataSky. Finally, some manager type person agreed. So they came and changed my card. Pairing with the new card took around 3 hours. Lo and behold, no pixellation, whatsover. Simply unbelievable. I have to pinch myself to believe that the problem has indeed gone away.

So now, I have new Dish, new STB, new LNB, new cable and finally a new VC card. Need to still pay the Rs. 400. Apart from the money, the amount of headache and numerous technicians (duffers) that I had to endure was priceless (to use a term from a credit card ad campaign).

Hoping that my story might benefit someone someday.
