Poor customer service/tech support experience with Qwest
Contributed by Sankar on 2009-07-14
I had recently changed to Qwest from Comcast, for my phone & internet thinking that Comcast is charging me more. Qwest's deal was good, but their tech support is really poor. My 3mbps comcast was working much better than 7mbps qwest line, and when calling the tech support to see why some servers are not connected, they just blame the office network. The same computer connects to all office networks with a neighbour's wifi connection. Its really ennoying to see such under-knowledged, under-rated tech support guys. Just looking to switch back!!

Indian groceries cost lest than half in all Indian hubs
Contributed by ram on 2009-07-06
I see the same pattern in other cities with Indian grocery prices. Toor dal costs $2.99-$3.49 for 4lbs bag in Houston and Dallas. Just that we are a bit away from these big hubs, raising the prices so high is not the best trend. I spoke to a couple of shop owners, and they say they just get a 25cents to 50cents per bag. This is not believable though. Satvik is the only cheapest in Denver, but compared to the Indian hubs, they are still very high. Someone should take initiative to slash these prices and make reasonable profits.
Why are Indian Groceries so expensive in Denver/Colorado?
Contributed by on 2009-07-06
We recently visited Florida and I was surpirsed to see all the Indian Groceries priced almost less than half the price that we pay here. Here we get 4 lbs Toor Dal packet for 8$ and in Florida it was 4$(And this is only one of many such examples). Why is there such a price difference? With so many Indians living in colorado I hope someone takes some initiative in this matter and makes groceries a little bit more affordable in denver/northern colorado area.
Kambakkht Ishq vulgar, offensive :: What do u feel
Contributed by Poonam on 2009-07-06
I watched this movie and here is what I concur.
How much you enjoy Kambakkht Ishq is directly proportionate to just how low your standards have fallen. This battle-of-the-sexes saga starring Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor is a loud, vulgar and seriously offensive film that has reportedly been made at a price of Rs 60 crore. In that much money, you could feed an entire starving nation. And you'd be blessed for it.

Radio Mirchi getting prolonged... Need entertainment
Contributed by Sanjay on 2009-06-27
Radio Mirchi conversation getting so prolonged between Pinkal and Madhu. Sometimes the talk is getting into sideways. It would be nice to get some serious entertainment, and more songs. Need some coordination between the producers and the RJs to play the songs. Also, questions to the callers can be a little straight forward, so more callers can be accomodated. Just my personal thought!! How do other feel about it? Thoughts are welcome.
The Barber
Contributed by Raj on 2009-06-24
A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded, dirty and full of Italians. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are rude, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?"
"We'll be at the downtown International Marriott."
"That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?"
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope."

Idiot of the day
Contributed by Venkat on 2009-06-15
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip.After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night, and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" Holmes asked.
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell you?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson, you idiot. Somebody has stolen our tent!"
