Top 6 Services List (In Bangalore, according to me)

Swami Nikhilaananda said:
"In this day and age where we have a million things to browse from, we need services to merely search through them"

Today, we have an information overload. For anything that you want, there are different places where you can go. If you want to buy a book, you have so many stores, and online book stores etc. If you want information, there are several websites that specialise in that field or a general encyclopedia. So I thought that it would be good to create a list of useful services that I use.

Top 6 Services List (In Bangalore, according to me)

Justdial
Justdial is perhaps one of the most useful services being provided. Whether it is information about restaurants, schools or gift shops, Justdial gives it all - Telephone numbers, addresses, everything. And they remember you, and greet you warmly everytime you call them, unlike certain pathetic customer care services. Some times they even directly connect you to the store.

Phone Number - 080-23333333

Road Guide (LatLong)
A brilliant service for people who have a tendency to get lost, Road Guide is a very useful service. All you need to do is send an SMS with from location and to location to their number and they reply with a detailed route, distance, landmarks, auto fare - the works. The website also has maps.

E.g. Send an sms to 9008890088: Jayanagar 4th block to Forum Koramangala

Website - www.latlong.in
Phone Number - 9008890088

India Book Store
If you are an avid book reader, you definitely invest a lot of money into books. And many times, you run out of money just when a book that you want to buy comes up. If you want the best deals available, use this service. It is linked to several book stores. A simple search engine interface, enter the name of your book, and it provides a list of stores that have the book, along with the price at which they are selling. You can pick the best priced book, directly click on their links, and place your order.


BMTC Info
Many times you keep wondering which bus to catch, and where to catch it from. Or the route that a particular bus takes, or for that matter, any other information that you seek, BMTC has a solution for you. As much as BMTC is a high priced service, you have to admit that they are leading by a large margin when it comes to offering the very best.

Swami Gulagulaananda said: " When in a game, play... " I have won several lotteries organised by Shell, Coca Cola and other companies. Each prize was no less than 500,000 GBP. And I have also been fortunate to share my surname with super rich heirless millionaires, facilitating unscrupulous lawyers to wire their enormous funds into my account so that I can send them their share for making it happen. Considering the number of lotteries I have won and number of inheritances in my name, I am richer than Bill Gates ten times over. But alas, we are aware of how scams work. Some of us, at least. So I continue to be penniless as before.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF RAHUL GANDHI - Nitin Gupta(Rivaldo)

Swami Gulagulaananda said: " If there is one thing which annoys me more than lying, it's hypocrisy " An excellent read this is - Share it with everyone. I picked this from a blog and the author of that blog picked it from an email. So anyway, I thought it was appropriate to give credit to the blog - http://shilps882.blogspot.com/2011/05/curious-case-of-rahul-gandhi-nitin.html?spref=fb ------------------------ Got this article via email forwards. The article is signed by journalist Nitin Gupta(Rivaldo) of whom I learnt only today. It is a good read! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER: I DON'T ENDORSE ANY POLITICAL PARTY. NOR DO I ENDORSE ANY OF WHAT MAYAWATI IS DOING.

To each his own

Swami Gulagulaananda challenged " It's time to have the greatest discussion now for a face-off... I dare all religious 'experts' to come here and put your thoughts across " The reason I am writing this article is simple - I recently got some scraps on Orkut from a person who calls himself (montse) Jesus Loves You . And they were some really interesting scraps. They are pasted here as is: (montse) Jesus : hi i don't know u, but all i have to say is that Jesus loves you, died for ur sins believe Jesus for eternity Nik : Hi, I don't know you - But I want to tell you that Sri Krishna loves you - Read the Bhagavad Gita and free yourself from the cycle of rebirth. Believe in Him. (montse) Jesus : but none died for your sins except Jesus, you should receive your salvation only by believing Jesus as your saviour Nik : See, that's where you are wrong - You start off with the assumption that one has to die for someone else's sins.
