Mumbaiwalla !!! to file PIL in Bombay HC regarding CNG pipeline damage

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on March 16, 2011


By a Correspondent

 

Mumbaiwalla  !!! – a forum of concerned Mumbaikars is contemplating filing a PIL in the Bombay High Court seeking compensation for the untold hardship and financial losses to the citizens of Mumbai. Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the administrative machinery of Mumbai including the Government of Maharashtra and other authorities will be made respondents in the matter regarding the damage to the CNG pipeline which kept about 90,000 autorickshaws and about 80 per cent of Taxis off the roads of Mumbai causing untold hardship to students who were appearing for their board exams not to forget financial losses to several other businesses etc.

Mumbaiwalla !!! is a general helpline for Mumbaikars, particularly for those who are new to Mumbai and unable to find their way in the city. Mumbaiwalla !!! provides information services, co-ordinates with service providers, Utility and Telecom services, employment agencies, Facilities Management Servics and other general purpose service agencies. The aim is to try and make life a wee bit easier for Mumbaikars, says Flynn Remedios, a spokesperson for Mumbaiwalla !!!.

Mumbaiwalla !!!  also has a social service cell which undertakes activity to help the underprivileged, downtrodden and poor.

Hundreds if not thousands of software engineers from Delhi, Chandigarh, Bangalore and smaller towns recruited by Call Centres, BPOs and IT firms like Oracle, TCS, Mphasis and banks like Citibank and H3GS located at Mindspace (Malad), Infinity Park (Film City, Goregaon East), Bandra-Kurla complex who are completely new to Mumbai had to shell out anywhere between Rs 200 to Rs 400 to reach their homes as autorickshaws and Taxis charged a hefty premium.

According to a report in Mid-day, “The BMC does not have a map of the underground utilities such as water and gas pipelines, and drainage system due to which the incidences of pipeline damage are on the rise. On Monday, a Mahanagar Gas Limited pipeline was damaged while the BMC staffers were widening a nullah for the storm water drainage project, disrupting CNG supply.

An official from the BMC said, “The BMC had decided to carry out GIS-based digital mapping of the city’s structures (building by building) that sent the project cost shooting upto Rs 240 crore, while actual allocation for the project was Rs 32 crore. The idea of mapping water pipelines was scrapped last year as the cost was exceeding.”

At present, the civic body has an old water pipeline map sans newly developed areas. In January 2011, BMC finally invited tenders from private parties for carrying out digital surveys to map around 33 underground utilities in the city. Digital images of those will be compiled on the basis of information collected by the GIS surveys. Then, these images would be juxtaposed on the city’s base map.

“But we have not yet received the base maps from the NIC as well as clearance from the defense ministry for conducting the survey in sensitive areas in its jurisdiction, “said BMC’s Information Technology assistant commissioner Yogesh Mahangade. The BMC survey will mainly involve collecting information about civic-controlled utilities such as water, sewerage networks and storm water drain lines. But in the process, the other utilities under the ground too will get automatically recorded, another official said.”

According to a report in the Times of India, “The problem began late on Monday night as news spread of a tear in the main pipeline supplying CNG to Mumbai region. The breach had occurred earlier in the day when a piling machine being used by a civic contractor to concrete a drain hit the GAIL pipeline close to the Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) plant in Wadala.

Immediately after the accident, GAIL and Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) turned off the supply of CNG to the latter’s 148 filling stations and, as a result, to lakhs of autorickshaws, taxis and private cars. Officials promised supply would be normalized by Tuesday night.

Normally, MGL supplies about 9.8-lakh kg of CNG to the region every day. On Tuesday, only 3.5-lakh kg was delivered. Worst affected were western and central suburbs besides the island city.

The incident touched off the usual game of passing the buck between government agencies.”

TATA DOCOMO GSM SERVICES IN MUMBAI ARE ONE OF THE WORST TELECOM SERVICES IN MUMBAI

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on March 12, 2011


 

 

I paid Rs 5000/- for a premium or VIP Tata Docomo prepaid number belonging to the Mumbai Circle. In all, I purchased 3 such premium numbers paying a total of Rs 15,000/- only for the VIP numbers alone. In normal situations, I would have been assigned a relationship manager or a customer service executive to look into network or billing/balance related problems. Nothing of that sort happened.

Many dealers or retailers in the Andheri to Borivli area in suburban Mumbai DO NOT stock or are out of stock  of Tata Docomo recharges. After a long search, I located a dealer who had a Tata Docomo recharge. I recharged with a special recharge to convert all local calls to Rs 30 paise per minute. In spite of successfully recharging with the special pack, my local calls continue to be charged at Rs 1/- per minute.

I called the special helpline at Tata Docomo set up and mandated by TRAI and DOT (198) for complaints etc. Instead of being put on to a customer service executive, I was relayed only advertising messages for almost 20 minutes at a stretch. And then the line disconnected. I dialed 198 several times after that and every time I only got advertising messages for several minutes. No CS came on the line in spite of trying all options.

As compared to this retarded and lackadaisical response from Tata Docomo, Vodafone has assigned a special relationship manager to handle complaints. When I compare the service of Tata Docomo to Vodafone, I feel Vodafone is way ahead of Tata in terms of customer service.

After about one hour of continuous trying, I gave up, deciding never to use Tata Docomo again. I am putting this note up on my blog to inform other Telecom subscribers why I feel Tata Docomo is one of the worst Telecom services in Mumbai or should I say India.

Pepsi launches ‘CHANGE THE GAME’ campaign

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on January 26, 2011


 

This Cricket World Cup,
Pepsi becomes the official sponsor of…
 
The Doosra | The Switch Hit | The Helicopter |
The Dilscoop | The Upper CutLaunches ‘CHANGE THE GAME’ campaign to celebrate the revolutionary new face of cricket and the youth…

 

New Delhi, January 13, 2011: Cricket has changed, cricket fans have changed and the way they watch cricket has changed… This ICC Cricket World Cup, Pepsi celebrates the new unorthodox yet immensely popular face of modern cricket with its high decibel and path-breaking campaign – ‘CHANGE THE GAME’. Through the metaphor of cricket it also salutes the Youngistaanis who within themselves have found the power to defy tradition, and pave their own way by not breaking the rules but by changing them.
 
Change the Game is not a notion but reality that is reflected in the way cricket is played, watched and enjoyed world-over and in India today. With this innovative campaign, Pepsi has become the official sponsor of everything that is unorthodox about the sport; whether it is Virender Sehwag’s Upper Cut, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Helicopter shot, Harbhajan Singh’s Doosra, Tillakaratne Dilshan’s Dilscoop, Kevin Pietersen’s Switch Hit or Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina’s aggressive on-field spirit.
 
Deepika Warrier, Marketing Director, PepsiCo Beverages, India said, “Pepsi has always been closely associated with youth platforms such as cricket; and ICC Cricket World Cup is the single biggest event that unifies millions of passionate Youngistaanis. Our Change the Game campaign celebrates the same passion and the new age mantra of cricket, which is irreverent, unorthodox, fun, challenging and unmistakably Pepsi”.
 
“PepsiCo is one of the global sponsors of the ICC Cricket World Cup and we have created an exciting, engaging and innovative package for brand Pepsi to leverage this mega event. We are confident that the unique campaign thought of Change the Game will appeal to the youth and inspire them to be the game changers in their own lives”, she added.
 
Featuring some of the cricketing world’s biggest superstars, the campaign includes a series of ad films that will showcase out-of-the-box moves that are not text-book and yet help achieve the ultimate goal. Irreverent and youthful in spirit, these films promise to bring alive the passion Youngistaanis share for the game, both on and off the field. The first film as part of the campaign revolves around Indian team skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s famous game changing move – the Helicopter Shot.
 
“Change the Game is a big idea in the context of the game of cricket.  With this campaign we will inspire the youth to ‘change the game’, be innovative, take risks, and do things differently even if it has not been done before. We are the official sponsors of the ICC World Cup, but with this campaign we also want to be the official sponsors of everything that is unorthodox, exciting, innovative about the game of cricket”, said, Sandeep Singh Arora, Executive Vice President – Marketing, Cola, PepsiCo India.
 
Speaking about ‘Change the Game’, Indian Cricket Team Captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni said, “Change the Game for me is not about what you achieve, but how you achieve it. It is about the confidence to take risks and the courage to take the road less traveled.  On field, it is about playing innovative shots or making game changing decisions at critical junctures of the play. Pepsi’s Change the Game campaign captures this thought in an exciting and innovative manner and I am sure Youngistaanis will strongly identify with it”.
 
Supporting the on-air initiatives is the eye-catching off-air campaign with cricketers in a never-seen-before painted body look. The new body painted look is youthful, fresh and symbolic of the individual player’s passion for the game. Covered only with a layer of colourful body paint, the cricketers’ images reflect their energetic and unique persona on the field. Each design and choice of colour palette has a story behind it which mirrors the athlete’s character.
 
“Pepsi has always been the fearless voice of uninhibited youth. A belief that needed to be interpreted even as the official partner of the event. Only Pepsi could turn this official status on its head by standing up for the brave new, unorthodox face of the modern game. The unplugged, organic face of contemporary cricket that is a reflective of everything that the youth of today live by. That it’s not the textbook that matters but the result at the end of the day. Because the game can always change”, commented, Agnello Dias, Creative Director, Taproot India. 
 
Director of the TVCs, Prasoon Pandey of Corcoise Films said, “Change The Game is a powerful concept and we have tried to bring alive the same passion and excitement in the films as we would see during the World Cup. The idea was to communicate Pepsi’s celebration of cricketers’ innovative signature moves on the field in a never-seen-before manner. For instance, the first film presents an irreverent back story about Dhoni’s famous Helicopter shot to the thrill of him actually using it during the match.”
 
The campaign is being launched across various mediums and channels to ensure complete 3D activation across all verticals. It will be supported by a 360-degree approach including thematic ATL and outdoor, consumer engagement programmes, special edition packaging, in-stadia amplification and digital engagement programmes.

Playboy photographer offers actress Neeshaa Singh Rs 3-crore for nude photo shoot

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on October 24, 2010


 

By Frank Franklyn – Futuristic Media Network

Hold your breath guys. South siren, actress Neeshaa Singh has just been offered a whooping Rs 3-crore by an Australian photographer – who claims he is affiliated with the international adult men’s magazine Playboy – for a nude photo shoot. According to actress Neeshaa Singh’s publicist and manager, Flynn Remedios, the photographer Clement Andrew Martins contacted Neeshaa Singh via Facebook, claiming that he was an international photographer and on special assignments and glamour and hi-fashion shoots for several sophisticated men’s magazines including GQ International, Playboy and also publications like People, Newsweek and USA Today. He said he would be interested in working with Neeshaa Singh for an international men’s magazine.

“We were of course intrigued and asked him to email us more details. He wrote back saying the shoot he was talking about would be for Playboy and would be shot in Europe over a span of one week. He also claimed that his agency would be willing to pay the equivalent of Rs 3-crore for a full-frontal nude shoot for the centrespread plus all expenses and travel and stay,” informs Remedios.

We first thought it was a joke and some friend or acquaintance was pulling a prank on us, says Remedios. However, when we asked him for his contact details, specifying that he should give us his website address and his landline telephone number, to our amazement, he did provide us with the details he asked for and the same turned out to be correct. A woman answered   our calls and claimed that the number belonged to Martins. Other details provided also seemed to work out right.

Meanwhile the sexy and bold Neeshaa Singh has not yet decided if she is doing the shoot or not. “We are still verifying if the entire thing is a hoax and will decide about the shoot only after that,” explained Remedios.

A prime example of a “Baby Grand” hotel – small in scale complete with all the design and amenities of larger properties.  The Chatwal offers the glamour of yesterday and today, with interiors from Despont inspired by the famous Malletier (travel trunk makers) of the period, celebrating travel pieces as finely crafted objet d’art. Recurring flourishes of angular nickel trim accenting glimmering jewel-toned glass are evident throughout, as the The Chatwal New York toasts glamorous travel in all its forms.

 

Guest Experience:

Guestrooms at The Chatwal New York capture the clubby, elegant and comfortably chic atmosphere of this New York landmark. Of the 88 guestrooms, 38 are larger suites, and behind each door, no attention to detail has been spared.  In-room finishes include fine suede covered walls and leather-wrapped double closets, the Chatwal’s retro playing cards and a specially crafted Backgammon set. The attention to modern small touches makes a difference – complimentary internet access, a laptop-sized safe, a 42-inch HD flat screen IP television with Blueray DVD and multi-language options, a movie library, and in-room stereo system with an iPod dock all provide a comfortably wired experience. A rarity in New York City, private terraces are available on request for those who treasure their outdoor space. The service philosophy mirrors the accommodations, with guests benefiting from personalized, attentive service of the highest standard – from a discerning staff directed by General Manager Joel Freyberg.

 

The sign of a great hotel is a great night’s sleep. The Chatwal commissioned Shifman Mattress to design a made-by-hand mattress, complemented with an expansive bed linen selection by Frette and pillow menu. Wrapping oneself in one of The Chatwal’s plush Kashwére custom robes after a dip in the Rain Drop shower or Jacuzzi bath (complete with Asprey Amenities, exclusive to The Chatwal New York) is a perfect end to a hectic city day. Bathrooms also feature marble floors, mirrored walls and a 19-inch integrated mirror television. The hotel’s turndown service includes a complimentary shoe shine service, bottled water, and the guest’s preferred newspaper delivered each morning to their door.  As this is the city that never sleeps, the fitness center at The Chatwal New York is complimentary to guests 24 hours a day.

 

Dining and Cocktailing at The Chatwal:

Paying homage to the building’s original purpose – showcasing talent and creativity, whether on stage, or in the kitchen and behind the bar – Chef Geoffrey Zakarian is behind the 90-seat restaurant, The Lambs Club at The Chatwal New York. Offering diners an updated take on the classic bar and grill with an inviting, warm ambiance, the menu will focus on traditional American cuisine and seasonal ingredients. This is a first time collaboration for Manhattan’s established culinary and cocktail veterans, Geoffrey Zakarian and Margaret Zakarian along with David Rabin, Will Regan and Jeffrey Jah.

 

Signature breakfasts at The Lambs Club will draw a morning crowd of New Yorkers meeting up to start their workday in Midtown and guests fueling up for a full Manhattan day. The regular lunch and dinner scene will focus on fresh market produce, grilled meats and seafood along with fine salads.  Gourmet snacks, libations and afternoon tea will be served throughout the day. Similarly, The Bar at the Lambs Club will brim with classic and refined cocktails made with the freshest juices, pressed each day on the premises.  Pre/post-theater and after-work cocktails will be offered at the lively bar scene – a perfect meeting spot for friendly conversation, toasting a signed contract or discussing musical high points after a show. For those seeking the privacy of their suite for a meal, room service will be provided by The Lambs Club 24-hours a day, with the same high standard of cuisine prevailing throughout the entire property.
