The UniverCell Experience

Saturday I visited the UniverCell Showroom at Causeway, Mumbai with a friend. As we entered the store, I felt something different. It was not the usual get-in-get-out feeling. As we entered the store, we felt a warm welcoming gesture from the from the personnel and (as metaphoric as it may sound) from the store by itself.

I met an executive of the store, who in spite in his busy hour, greeted us and asked us to spend as much time as we needed in the store. Other executives were helpful too. 

For me, entering an appliance retail store is like a kid entering a toy store. I can never get enough of it. I wanted to scan through each and every department and every appliance displayed in the store. Surprisingly, my friend (who is not so much of a technology person) also seemed quite interested in the gadgets I was showing her. That's when I realized how important hospitality and planning actually is. It actually makes a total "technology virgin" (pardon me those who are) interested in it. The Store's ambience and aura attracted not only my friend but many others. 

Speaking of  the Hospitality, The executives and sales persons were courteous and gentle in their approach. They were good with their words and did put forth their helping hand when the customer seems to be in a dilemma. Every person in the store was aware of all information about the department they were handling. I can say this since I have a bad habit of testing people's knowledge about technology, specially of the people closely associated with it. Not only did they help, but they made suggestions about a better product based on your needs. This depicts that the personnel working there is well trained.

Also to mention that all the devices are very competitively priced. It is accessible to almost every class of consumer and is definitely a better alternative than other stores.

Not only is this a gadget store, it is a one stop solution to all your needs. With that note, it is apt to say that the overall experience of the store has been extraordinary. I was more than satisfied with the service provided at the store and would surely recommend it to others.

The unforgettable fragrance

¨Peace¨ is what people desire when they go on a holiday or are on a break. That is exactly what I found on my trip to Igatpuri, Nashik. This was a heartfelt trip with my very close friends last monsoon. Talk about scenic beauty and that is what Igatpuri is all about during monsoons. It is the best place to visit during this season. Adding to the scenic beauty was the fresh fragrance of grass and mud. When we reached there, it was drizzling and the weather was very pleasant. Just as we reached, the first thing we wanted to do was trekking and thats what we started with. Climbing up the beautiful green mountains was not even a bit tiring as we were enjoying the light and fresh fragrance of water combined with grass and mud. The light drizzle was icing on the cake. We wanted to reach the topmost point of the hill and what we experienced on our way was mind blowing. Since it was monsoon, there were beautiful waterfalls on our way towards the top of the mountain. Without doubt, we wanted to bathe in those so we jumped in. The beautiful sound of the waterfall and the pleasing fragrance around made us feel heaven on earth. After a short dip in the waterfall, we headed towards the top and finally reached our destination. This trip was nothing but unforgettable for us. Driving back home, I realised how beautiful nature really is and how much do we miss in our everyday fast life. Natural fragrances are something which we do not experience in a busy city like Mumbai. The smell of wet grass, mud, the sound of water in a waterfall etc. This was my evocative travel experience and what I always look for in a fragrance in natural freshness.

Daawat-E-Khaas

It was dinner time and we wanted to eat, I suggested mexican but that didn't go over well. My friends suggested Indian. I was a unfearful because I obviously knew a lot about Indian food. I was up for it. So, my friends visited and we started what we call, ¨the feast¨!

We wanted anything with Indian sauce to my surprise not spicy, and so we prepared that along with tandori paneer and a spinach side, was awesome with a little kick. The masala was excellent, we had it with paneer and the paneer was tender. The tandori was good, grilled and done right. the veggies that came with the tandori were also awesome. everything had lots of flavor. 

I warned those that weren't into spicy foods, the chips that were prepared from the start had a kick...wow; so they added the sweet chutney..it was yum. For desert we wanted to have the fried cheese with honey. I will tell you now, it was not not as bad as it sounds. You must like honey and love sweetness. It was a bit rich for me and the cheese balls were interesting, nothing i'd get again but worth a shot if you like SWEET; I stress sweeet. Our experience was good. We knew exactly how Masala sauce was prepared. 

So this was our mouth watering perfect meal. This experience could have become even more memorable with the right glassware. Borosil provides a wide range of mixing bowls, dishes, Bowls plates etc. They say food becomes even more relishable with the right presentation and what makes presentation better than borosil´s glassware.

Jodey Dilon Ko! - Experience

I have learned great many things from participating with Indiblogger. It has changed my entire outlook and attitude toward life. Before my freshman year at college, I was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. Indiblogger has altered all of these qualities.

A faint twinge of excitement floated through my body the night before the Zindagi Indiblogger meet was to be held at The Leela, Mumbai. A hint of anticipation of the coming day could not be suppressed; I still wonder that I slept at all that night. But I did. I slept soundly and comfortably.

After a quick breakfast, I pulled some of my gear together and headed out. The ride of an hour seemed only a few moments as I struggled to reinstate order in my chaotic consciousness and focus my mind.

After lunch, the meet commenced and what I was about to experience was something I had never experienced before. Bloggers gathered in a conference hall, beautifully decorated and aptly lit. In front of us were two large screens which I assumed were for presentation purpose. However, my assumptions were incorrect. The two screens and cameras all around the conference room were set up so that bloggers from two cities, Mumbai and Delhi could connect with each other by way of video conferencing. We have all used video conferencing in our life, but this was different as was not one to one or one to many, it was many to many. 

The primary aim of Indiblogger is that people connect and open up themselves and I must say that Indiblogger does that in a very nice manner. The meets are always fun with interesting games and new people. This time it was cross state.

After Mumbai and Delhi Bloggers were successfully connected, an array of questions comparing the two cities were asked to the bloggers. These questions were mostly asked to invoke a competitive sense between bloggers. As the questions were being answered, I noticed that even after being citizens of the same country, we wanted to prove that Mumbai is better than Delhi and bloggers from delhi wanted to prove otherwise. This was what Indiblogger and Zindagi wanted to bring up.

Delhi and Mumbai were samples to represent a larger set of population, India and Pakistan. As we all know, India and Pakistan got separated during partition and so did many families/friends. Indians and Pakistanis are a result of the same ancestors and share the same blood. Even after being in the same country, there was a competitive sense among bloggers of the two cities, Mumbai and Delhi.This competitive sense is only because of demographic change and not because of cultural difference. Just like Mumbai and Delhi are part of the same culture, India and Pakistan too are part of the same culture. Many Indians want to meet their families and friends from pakistan and many Pakistanis want to do the same.

By taking advantage of television & media, an effort to bridge the gap between two countries is being taken by Zindagi, a new channel being set up, which will air Pakistani drama serials in India. Indian Channels are already being aired in pakistan with advancement of technology and our brothers from Pakistan, enjoy Indian channels as much as we do.

This was the first time that I had ever really made a notable realization in anything. This one experience, this one instant, changed me forever. This day I found peace and discovered that brotherhood yields its own sweet fruit. The sun was so bright and brilliant. This feeling was the best.

Totally Digitized! - By the Reliance Digital Experience!

As the name suggests, I am all about technology and Autos. Technology, it not only my interest, its my passion, a driving force and a motivation in my life. I cannot imagine a day in my life without having a dose of my "technological feed".

It is practically impossible to quantify what technology has given us.

Today, at a touch of a button (rather touch of a screen :-P) we transfer money from one end of the world to another, make phone calls, pay bills, book movie tickets, pay tax, read e-books and the list goes on. It is a well accepted fact that our lives before a rough 10 years weren't as simple and aided with technology as it is today.

We have reached times when the capabilities of a handheld device like a mobile phone or a tablet/ipad are brushing shoulders with high end laptops and personal computers. Multi-core processing chips, Retina/Super AMOLED Displays, 3G, LTE were all a dream years back. 

On this note, lets celebrate technology and thank inventors, developers and marketers to bring all this in the hands of the consumer.

Reliance has given us one more reason to celebrate technology...Reliance Digital - Happiness in store.

What better place than this to talk about a "Digital Store".

Lets get started. 

Saturday evening I visited a Reliance Digital store at Times Square, Andheri Kurla Road, Andheri (E) with a friend. as we entered the store, I felt something different. It was not the usual get-in-get-out feeling. As we entered the store, we felt a warm welcoming gesture from the from the personnel and (as metaphoric as it may sound) from the store by itself. 

I met the manager of the store, who in spite in his busy hour, greeted us and asked us to spend as much time as we needed in the store. The executives were helpful too. 

For me, entering an appliance retail store is like a kid entering a toy store. I can never get enough of it. I wanted to scan through each and every department and every appliance displayed in the store. Surprisingly, my friend (who is not so much of a technology person) also seemed quite interested in the gadgets I was showing her.

Not only did they help, but they made suggestions about a better product based on your needs. This depicts that the personnel working there is well trained.

The Store has a good collection of appliances viz. Mobile Phones, Computers, Televisions and Audio, Cameras, Home Appliances, Kitchen Appliances, Gaming Devices and Accessories like pen drives, headsets, chargers, batteries etc. You name it, they have it. 

Also to mention that all the devices, gadgets, appliances are very competitively priced. It has different sections for different categories of appliances. With more than 14 stores spread out in Mumbai itself, it is accessible to almost every class of consumer and is definitely a better alternative than other stores.

Not only is this an appliance store, it is a one stop solution to all your home and office needs. With that note, it is apt to say that the overall experience of the store has been extraordinary. I was more than satisfied with the service provided at the store and would surely recommend it to others.

Way to Go "Reliance Digital Store". I did find "Happiness in Store"!
