So again next year, I P L would be played outside India?

I hope they arrange in England or some European venue

I had applied for a new reliance broadband connection (to get the Thunder 1099 plan) on 24th March, 2014 in Aundh, Pune. I was told that service is available in my area and a sales representative will come in 2-3 days.

As expected, no one called or showed up. I have called customer care for 4-5 times now (after every 5 days or so) and every single time they had the same reply - "We are extremely sorry, we have forwarded your request as urgent to the sales department and a representative would come to you in 2 days".

This shows the pathetic service of reliance communication, even in a city like Pune. I dare not imagine what the situation would be in other places. 

I never imagined that there would be any company in the world that would not want new customers. But, i think i have found the one and only company.

Anyways, i have complained to the nodal officer today. Lets see, if that helps.

I started this post to inform everyone about the problems i faced and will face to get a new connection (if Reliance wants to give one).

I filled the form which is on their website on april 19th 2014 and still i have got no call from them despite my 4 calls and 5 emails to them. everytime i call they say it is feasible and their service people will call me in 1 business day...

Is your experince like this too?? I live in pune and i am dilemma over YOU broadband and reliance wireline.

Sarah knows what she does next will unleash a world of trouble. She also knows that she cannot accept and so, indeed, the trouble begins. A powerful, sweeping novel, inspired by real events and set in the American Deep South in the nineteenth century, The Invention of Wings evokes a world of shocking contrasts, of beauty and ugliness, of righteous people living daily with cruelty they fail to recognize and celebrates the power of friendship and sisterhood against all the odds.

2 States is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Chetan Bhagat. This book depicts the common quarrels of couples who come from differing social backgrounds in India and the story being semi-autobiographical makes it all the more relatable.

Love marriages in India are still a touchy subject in most families and the story draws inspiration from this mentality. How they decide to conquer the hearts of their parents and make their marriage materialize into something more than a dream is something that will keep readers enthralled.

Why did the trailers get taken down? Whether Warner Bros. did this on purpose is unknown. Either way, it is a brilliant marketing ploy. Fans want to see the Big G in a serious American movie. That campy 1998 version starring Ferris Bueller won't cut it.
Director Gareth Edwards has promised Godzilla will be what fans are craving. Like Christopher Nolan did with the Dark Knight trilogy.
If you dig hard enough, there might be a trailer still up. What was there, however, featured destruction — busted trains, debris everywhere, holes in buildings. The majority of the trailer's audio is J. Robert Oppenheimer's speech about the creation of the atomic bomb with this part standing out: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
Of course during this time we see monster arms and legs and finally, Godzilla shouts his signature roar at the end.
A second trailer shows soldiers parachuting out of a plane to fight back against the mythical beast. Again, this trailer is serious stuff. You'll have to dig to find this one as well.

A young woman recuperating at her father's run-down home after a tragic accident soon encounters a terrifying presence with a connection to her long-deceased mother.

Driven from their homelands, the Fables hide from the mundane world in New York City. Over a season of episodic content, the player will experience what it's like to be Bigby Wolf (THE Big Bad Wolf), Sheriff of Fabletown.

An evolution of Telltale's ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as the Big Bad Wolf, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous.

It's the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations. But when these newly-minted "heroes" get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.

Bound by Flame, the new role-playing game developed by Spiders Studio for PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360®, today unveils more in its epic video teaser! The combat system of Mars War Logs, the previous RPG made by Spiders Studio, seduced players with its dynamic and tactical approach. Bound by Flame goes even further, taking as a base this successful recipe, but offering a bigger selection of attacks and skills, more fluid and spectacular animations, and the use of Magic. All this contributes to making Bound by Flame's combat very impressive, but also resolutely tactical, as players face a huge, original bestiary filled with otherworldly creatures. This is being shown in today's video, in the thunderous clash of three warriors' twirling blades facing an outnumbering enemy and a seriously big surprise. Bound by Flame will be released on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation® and Xbox 360® early 2014.
