A way of Life : Routeguru & JustDial

I was thinking about few of the website/services I frequently use apart from Google ;-)

First which comes to my mind is http://www.routeguru.com/ I use it so frequently both on web & mobile. Be its client meet or attending events/conferences everytime I use it & believe me it help me to reach the place with minimal reallife help. Defenitely there r lot of features which can be added but currently it's as simple as asking a knowledgeable Panwala.

Second one is http://www.justdial.com/ its not only a website but a way to get what you want. With its Pan India easy to remember 69999999 its very much reachable anytime. I wish they would've made better profits.
For me these r not only websites but a way of life. I wish people will come with more such products.

Kudos to people who thought of these products.

MakeMyTrip & Seva Mandir helping in cutting CO2 Emission

While booking my tickets on MakeMyTrip I saw a new content related to donation of very small amount like Rs. 26-234. If u donate a particular amount Seva Mandir (NGO) will plant as many as 18 trees. What made me interested is the content relativity [Contextual] on MakeMyTrip. While booking flights which normally cost around Rs. 5000/- per person, even the max amount [Rs. 234]of donation looks so small. Secondly they've explained that how much CO2 emission happens when u fly & how planting trees will help to counter that emission. 


On MakeMyTrip it's with title of Reduce Your Carbon Footprint..... Ok, let me capture a screen shot of the same..

See how well it's telling how much CO2 your trip will be generating & also see the Number of Tree which will be planted on your behalf with such small amounts.

Isn't it great!!! I'm really emotional & feeling great... :-)

Here you can read about Carbon Footprint in details.


Kudos to the team who thought this. All the Best!!!

RouteGuru : A Way to Go!!!

Undoubtedly Google is Great & probably it will continue to do so for long time.

But it's not Google who pioneered Landmark based Driving Directions... it RouteGuru, who did it long time back. I've to say it because I've used it extensively on various occasions during last 5 months [When I found it on Google... ;-)] & it's really Simple & Great; works wonderfully both on Web & Mobile.

You can check yourself http://www.routeguru.com

Swine Flu & Telecom / VAS

Interesting very interesting..

Recently I was thinking hard about how we can increase the revenue share for VAS. My bottom line was to provide such products which are of real use for general people & not only for specific group.

What about Swine Fule [H1N1]!!!

Can't we create a product / special number on which poeple can dail/SMS to know more about Swine Flu???

Let's say a number 9999, when people will call here they will've few options like;

1 - Precautionary Measures

2 - Medicines

3 - Nearest Hospitals / Centers

4 -

..

..

..

This could be charged @ Rs. 1.5-3/minute. I believe this could be a wondfull product with lot of users.

Any buyer???... :-)

Rain Rain Come Again..... Delhi Rain

So, finally the rain came & washed away all "Gila - Shikwa" [complaints] of Delhi people.... First time in my life I saw Non-Farmers begging for rain.... :-)

In fact this was my first tryst with Delhi Summer & was AWeSomE.... yes, I said AwESOMe..... It was so scorching that I never imagined..... Why I said "aWEsome" is, so many times I had to laugh on the plight of people & myself in the scorching heat... :-|

Anyway, here it goes finally after today's splashes.... ;-)

OOooooo..... :-)

Huhhhh.....

Ahaaa..... ;-)

So, enjoy madi.....

Product Idea!!! Nano or this one!!!

Hey....
I'm very happy.... You know why??? I've got a complete new idea.... Few days back I was looking at a Sofa-cum-Bed, it's really a good product considring the space utilization & usability in small spaces available in metros. You take a Sofa-cum-Bed & use it as Bed whenever someone is @your home, while using it as Sofa in normal circumstances.....

Now the "Nano".... One of the most discussed word these days in India...... Ok.. .Ok... let me make it quick....

Can we make a Car like Sofa-cum-Bed.....??? What you say???? I guess this is really a fantastic idea, if it's really possible and I firmly believe that it's very much possible..... Just imagine a car like any other normal car where 5 people can easily seat.. Ok.. now imagine you press a button & it shrinks to a car like Nano..... you can easily bypass the heavy trafic & what about parking.... Huhhhh!!! Navrangi, you are great!!!

What you say.... Today I'm really feeling great, should'nt I???? .... :-)
