The summer in Delhi, seems to be over atlast. The peak summer is the acid test for the Electric Power Transmission companies in Delhi. And this year Tata Power owned North Delhi Power Limited [NDPL] has done much better than Reliance owned Bombay Suburban Electric Supply [BSES]. While the BSES served areas went without power for hours together, NDPL served areas were never without power for more than a few minutes.
People also complained of poor response from BSES customer care centers. While people who had to deal with NDPL were a happier and satisfied lot.

And when i happened to visit the BSES office a couple of days ago to register a complaint, i heard a BSES employee cribbing about how badly BSES treated them as compared to how NDPL treats it’s staff. He was telling his colleagues that NDPL had given Titan watches to all it’s employees. And NDPL was also offering an interest free loan to all it’s employees to buy Tata Indicas and Indigos.

Reliance was busy deciding which brother gets Papa’s watch and which brother gets papa’s car. And so the employees were getting nothing. Else i could have had a better and cooler summer 😉

Maruti Suzuki has launched a new model called Swift.
It has this retro looks and is catching on like anything.

With so many cars being launched recently, I did not give it much attention when I read about it in the newspapers first. But when i saw it on the road..it is a real head turner … by Indian Standards atleast…. going by the overdose of ugly cars that we have.

There is so little local content on the internet for a city like New Delhi.
And whatever little there is seems to be very timed [most of it is not relevant any more]. I am a member of many networking centric email groups about Delhi, but very little exchange of value seems to be taking place there.

There seems to be so less of theme or interest based interaction amongst us Delhiites. Could it be because we do not have enough hobbies or enough time to devote to those hobbies. Sometimes i wonder if that is true for all developing nations.
Dunno.
