At the turn of 20^th century we had 100,000 Tigers in the world and in India alone we had 40,000. The number is decreasing rapidly. Now we have 1411 Tigers in India. We need to save them. It is for us, we should understand how important Tigers are to our environment.

There are lots of initiatives from people to corporate; Mr. Mike Pandey, eminent Environmentalist and filmmaker have started YouTube Channel to make people aware about it. John Abraham, the Bollywood actor too support in this initiative by featuring in. Mike Pandey have created a FaceBook fan page The Return of the Tiger (TROT) and it has more than 2500 members as of now.

Another initiative noticed of Aircel in association with WWF, they have launched a website www.saveourtigers.com. And they have more than 1.5 lakhs supporters joined the roar to save Tigers.

There are initiatives from Government too. There is project tiger by government of India. And there are 41 Tiger Reserves in India, recently Kerala state have declared Parambikulam as a Tiger Reserve.

Government should look in to why the Tigers disappear. Is this because of poaching?  If so, stringent punishment to be given and the force should be enhanced with ultra modern machinery to track the Tigers and to save them from these poaching.

It’s shame that more than a billion people cannot save 1411 Tigers. I request you all to join these initiatives to save the remaining Tigers. Please act now…………

I had an issue with State Bank of Travancore and report it to complaints department along with a copy to senior officials.

Before doing the same, I have contacted my branch, it was their mistake even though they said, will do it tomorrow. That means 1 week already passed again excuses; so decided to report t.

After giving a complaint, they have immediately resolved the issue and called me up in the same day even after office time to convey that the issue is resolved and apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was very much impressed with their immediate action.

The next day, I got a call from head office, one of the senior officials, and he again offered an apology and asked me to be with the bank.

I have had many incidents in dealing with products, services etc, but experiencing such a personal care is at the first time and I believe that this bank have a vision. They understand that customer is most important and give utmost care.

I will continue bank with State Bank of Travancore.

I had a very very bad experience with Jobin Babu (he call himself CEO & President) of Sayosys Technologies Kochi.

I do offer Marketing services to companies in India and abroad. I had initiated a contact with Jobin  in the moth of October 2009. And had various discussions on phone and personally regarding the services I offer. I have clearly explained him the requirements and benefits.  I had sent him a draft MoU on 10^th October 2009.

Ultimately the company decided to opt my service in December 2009 and I started working for Sayosys from 5^th December 2009. We had signed the MoU on 8^th December 2009.

I have tested his website and found many errors in it, and asked him to correct it and provide me with some details. He replied that the site is under redesign and will update once it is completed.

In December I had generated a very good enquiry for him, he could not even give a proposal for that. At the end of December I sent him a service bill. As per the agreement, Sayosys need to pay me INR. 5000 a month for the Marketing activities. After sending the bill, when I called he said he is not well, and currently at home. When he comes back to office will make payment. But there were no reply.

Meanwhile, I had given another enquiry in January but he was unable to provide a proper quotation for that.

I had tried to contact him, but no answer. Whenever I called he never picked the phone up. When you call office, you will get information that he is not there. One day, someone picked his mobile and said he is Jobin’s brother and Jobin is not well and was in hospital, currently at home and will be available in office next week.

Next week, I made a call to office, but he was not available. Office personal told me that he is still in hospital. Ultimately, he reached in office by 3^rd week of January. But there is no response. I had tried his number many times, sent SMS, and tried to catch up with him through IM, but no response.

At the end of January 2010, I sent him another bill, 2 months total bill which is INR. 9194.00. And asked him to make payment on or before 5^th February 2010. No response at all.

This person is not responding. He is not dead, if he has some problem in making the payment he could tell me. I understand there could be problem, why doesn’t he respond. I did not expect such a behavior from a young entrepreneur.  Any way not responding to situation is not a good option. Whatever you have to say you should convey the same.

Since he was not responding, I had a research about his company. It is understood that most of his projects are done by a freelancer in Kochi. Mr. Sujith Sukumar.  One can find the portfolio with Sujith’s site- http://sujithsukumar.blogspot.com

I do not have any problem with his operations, whether he holds some people with him or he outsource. But just wanted to convey that, when a person outsource work with in India, the client will have to pay more. He should have his own programmer and designer. But not.

Now, I will have to try many ways to recover this due amount. So someone dealing with him or planning to deal with this company please be aware about this. Deal with a good person; good company not someone who does not have good ethics or good personal values, and this person, Jobin Babu does not have courage to face situation, some sort of impotent.

After publishing this blog, he have contacted me and said will make payment, and now he turned back, and said will not make payment and do anything. He have even threatened me that he have enough base in Kochi to play around. So be aware it..

So it is my suggestion to all please keep away…. Say no to Jobin Babu and Sayosys Technologies.

If anyone need any clarification on this regard you may please contact me at jinsen.karedath@gmail.com or you can call me in any of these numbers: +91-9349614587, 9061198578, 9539821223

Translation

Better than the entire world, is our Hindustan;
we are its nightingales of mirth, and it is our garden abode

Though in foreign lands we may reside, with our homeland our hearts abide,
Regard us also to be there, where exist our hearts

That mountain most high, neighbor to the skies;
it is our sentinel; it is our protector

In the lap of whose, play thousands of rivers;
gardens they sustain; the envy-of-the-heavens of ours

O waters of the Ganga mighty, do you recall the day
when on your banks, did land the caravan of ours

Religion does not teach us to harbour grudges between us
Indians we all are; India, our motherland

While Greece, Egypt , Rome have all been wiped out
till now yet remains, this civilization of ours {it has stood the test of time}

Something there is that keeps us,our entity from being eroded
For ages has been our enemy, the way of the world

Iqbal! Is there no soul that could
understand the pain in thy heart?

गणतंत्र दिवस पर आप सभी को शुभकामनाएं

Happy Republic Day

If you are using www. awsurveys.com, please do not waste your time, they will not pay you. I have collected some information about the company and reported to FBI, Florida & Ocoee Police department and Internet Fraud Investigation Department, United States of America

Website: www.awsurveys.com

Parent Company: Aclarn Inc (As per the domain registration information provided)

Address:        Aclarn Inc.

P.O.Box 428

Admin Contact:  Seebeck, Adam    admin@aclarninc.com, admin@awsurveys.com

Activities: Free Survey, They are offering free surveys and offer US$ 1 per survey, after initial surveys and for referral US$ 1.25.

I have registered with the site about 9 months back and 2 times my account balance reached above US$ 75, which is the least amount could redeem. I have opted to redeem twice. Both the occasion they did not respond within the specified time in which the fund suppose to reach in my paypal account. I have posted a support ticket, soon after posting a support ticket they removed the balance and made it 63.

I have sent so many mails to get referrals in the last 9 months and the conversion was too less and ultimately I got US$ 75. But they did not give me that fund.

Now, I believe they are cheating people. I trusted them because of following

• They offer survey to evaluate some website. These websites might be paying them for the traffic generated.

• There were some leading sites which offer paid surveys.

• They could earn money from websites offering website promotion as well as SEO because every time a person take survey a website been evaluated that means a request goes to that site thus traffic generated.

Since they are not paying there could be many reasons.

• The company might have stopped surveys, because in the recent surveys I could see only their associate website. If so they should inform the members. But still they are offering a monthly draw of US$ 500 and publish the winners. No idea whether the payment is made or not.

• Regarding account management, they could check before updating an account. They have mentioned many things in the Terms of Services. They should have a system to identify the person referred have taken survey or not. If they have a system to identify fake referrals, it should be done before updating a member’s account. Since they remove fund once ask for redeem there is something wrong with the company.

• Even if it is a fake entry company is benefitted.  They pay initially US$ 27 once an account is created for that, a member need to take 7 surveys and every month member get 1 survey each and rest a member need to make from referrals to reach US$ 75 which is the minimum amount could be redeemed.  Out of this US$ 75 they deduct US$ 25 for fast withdrawal. That means the amount they pay initially taken back at the end and the work done is not given any value. This is one way of cheating.

• A member need to send large quantity of mails for referrals, he/she need 39 people to be joined as his/her referral to reach US$ 75. Once they reach in US$ 50 and US$ 60 they get aggressive and go for massive campaign. But this will never give any result. One of my friends given me his login details of this site, when I checked his account has US$ 130 and he did not get that fund in his paypal account. Even after submitting support tickets repeatedly there is no reply from them. In my case I have written to all their contacts. But no reply.

• If they are not wrong in account calculation and reduction of funds from a particular account why don’t they answer to queries asked by a member?

Considering all the facts it is learned that they are trying to fool people around. I have taken enough pain to market them and I get mail frequently from people asking to register with this site; that means many people are working.

So it is an advice to all people those who wish to make some extra money from internet, please do not waste your time. They will not pay you. If anyone got money from this website please inform me.

Recently I have read an article in a local news paper that a person presented a wreath to Post office for not delivering articles to his address.

I face the same problem. 2 months back a post man came to my home with a registered article and he said, ‘this is the last time, will not bring any article in future, you do not come under this post office’. I have told him will check the matter with concerned authorities.

I live in Azhakam Area of Mookkanuur Village, Ernakulam District, Kerala State. I am living in the same house since my birth. My father constructed this house about 58 years back.  My father has 3 brothers, except one all are in the same area with different house. His father bought this land, years back, more than 100 years back. And we used to live here.

We used getting letters from Azhakam Post office (683577), and how can the post man suddenly take a decision and ask me to move to another post office, Karukutty (683576). Now, Azhakam post office is about 1 KM away from my residence and Karukutty post office is almost 3 KMs away from my residence. I have consulted the post master at Angamaly post, he said postman have no authority in asking to move to another post office. If he has some problem in delivering letters or the residence comes under another post office he should inform the department and department will have an enquiry and give statement. This statement can be produced the proposed post office and they will deliver article. He also mentioned that during these years I was able to receive article, then the same post office will deliver, and there is no need to change.

One should understand it is not easy to change a postal address in every document, like it is mentioned in ration card, bank account, certificates etc. And it will be difficult to change in all areas unnecessarily.

I have written to all the available contacts including Chief Post Master General, Kerala, officers in Delhi, and in the Public Grievance System on 19^th November 2009

After writing complaints, I got a mail from SSP Aluva Division, that this matter is under investigation and action will be taken. That’s it. Till today, there is no action. When I checked, public grievance system, it is noticed that the complaint been forwarded to Assistant Director PG, Office of the Postmaster General, Central Region, Kochi on 18/01/2010 it is more than 2 months.  Now it is a practice to lodge complaint every month in Indian Post’s Web Based Customer Grievance Handling System

If anybody wants to see a complaint status, use this link: http://www.indiapost.gov.in/ccc/PCStatus.aspx and complaint number:  100000-77299, 100000-82550

Now, some facts,

• Normally people does not use postal department today, as it was used some years back. I have 2 brothers in Dubai and 1 sister in Mumbai. I was in Bangalore and Mumbai for a long period. We used to send letters, now there is no letters everything in email, telephone, chat etc. Now, we depend postal department on some important communications only. So work load is less compared to some years back.

• They do not have a proper delivery management system for ordinary post; they should understand for ordinary post too, we are paying.

• They should improve the quality of services at par with international standards. Otherwise there is no existence in this highly competitive world. Private courier companies give better service; they have better tracking system, complaint redressal system etc.

We suffer, just because it is in the public sector… I doubt about the future of this department.

This article has the reference to my earlier article http://j-k.in/blog/2010/01/worst-experience-with-www-desiwebhosting-com-part-of-host-ac-please-do-not-opt/

In that I have mentioned there were no response for a long time from this hosting provider (http://www.desiwebhosting.com/part of host.ac ) Ultimately I got a response in the next day with the details of hosting account. I have tried to verify everything after uploading all the files and creating email accounts. I had the following problems even after 3 days.

• I was unable to send or receive email
• I was unable to create a database.

I have contacted the so called ‘24/7 technical support’ team. I got a reply after 7 hours, saying there is a problem with account. Do you think this is a 24/7 support?  At least they could send a reply soon after the receipt of my mail saying they are investigating. But they did not do. And even after 22 hours there were no results, solutions.

I have asked them to refund as per their policy, but there were no response. I have collected all the information about the company and even made a call to their office. But I got information that they have shifted to Delhi.

In between I have contacted the Cyber Crime Cell Kerala and enquired about the possibilities of filing a case against them. Since I have made payment through online banking, it is assured that they have an office in India. Cyber Cell advised me to file a cheating case.

I have mailed them asking for an amicable settlement, I have sent this mail to all their contacts, which they provided with CC Avenue and other companies whom they deal with. Immediately I got a mail saying your account is terminated reason “Fraud Customer”. I got a mail from CC Avenue too saying the refund process initiated.

So now everyone has to think, who is fraud? The company who says there is 24/7 technical support and my issue were answered without a solution after 7 hours or me? The company says 100% satisfaction in their website and this is the service they provide, and I asked for a refund, so they made me ‘fraud’. Am I really fraud here?

I have found an excellent hosting service provider. I suggest to use hostso

Had a very worse experience with http://www.desiwebhosting.com, I have reached there through host.ac, and they were good in service when I had opted 3 years back and thought http://www.desiwebhosting.com will be a part of host.ac. Now I am not sure whether they are part of host.ac or not.

I have ordered a hosting pack on Thursday 7^th January 2010 in the morning time and at 12:35 PM (my mail mentions this time) I have sent them a mail asking whether they receive my payment. I have made payment through online banking and given my reference number too. The amount been debited from my account to Avenues India Pvt Ltd. I have paid Rs. 600.

They sent me a reply on Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 8:16 PM asking just ‘What is the order id?’ this is the entire matter in the mail. No courtesy, nothing. I did not see any standard in their mail. I am opting a service from them and paying them, they should respect the money I spent.

I have replied with my Order id at Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 8:26 PM till now (Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 5:25 AM) there is no reply from them.

In between I have tried to contact CC Avenue about this, and even my bank. I do not think I will get my money back from these people.

This is not the way to deal with a customer who is looking for a service; it was my mistake that I thought they will offer better service. They mention so many things in their package even 24/7 support. I doubt whether they provide it or not.

I have visited their website, to understand them better, there is no contact details of this company, tried to fetch it from ‘who is’ but it was protected. There is no phone number provided. There is no credible information provided. They might have vanished with my money.

So I suggest people not to opt them for hosting service, I lost Rs.600 and enquire before you opt a service from any hosting provider. Whether they have credible information in their website, whether they provide chat in their site etc, and should try some review sites like mouthshut.com to read some reviews.  (I used to do these, since I had opted services from host.ac I thought it will be better after 3 years, never thought that company is growing downwards and it is my mistake that I trusted them)

So, friends don’t allow them to cheat yet another, so beware, say ‘no’ to http://www.desiwebhosting.com and host.ac

This is the second day of private bus operators strike in Kerala demanding for fare hike. As private buses are the main Public Transport System in Kerala, it is a challenge to common man.

It is obviously a war between the organized and unorganized, common man cannot be organized that is why the organize always win. Most of the times, government agree the demands and strike ends.

There is ESMA (Essential Service Maintenance Act) in this country, transportation is an essential service and government should make it sure that public transport system function properly and take stringent action if any violates.

There is no justification on private bus operators strike, they should look at the neighbouring state Tamil Nadu, the minimum fare there, and they should have a comparison and ask for something.

They always talk about student concession, they should provide it for that they are permitted and government collecting lesser tax from them.

This is a state of strike, strike for everything, and we call it ‘Gods Own Country’.

Government should not increase fare at this stage, should provide alternatives, and impose ESMA.
