Reliance Digital

Congrats!!! You succeed in fooling me.

 My ratings: -5/5 (It is not 5/5, it is MINUS 5/5)

I normally write reviews of services and products mentioning the positives and negatives but this time I am going to share a horrible experience I recently had with Reliance Digital store. So don’t expect any positive point this time and I also don’t find any, worth mentioning.

I was planning to purchase a netbook long time back and finally I thought of purchasing it. I was not sure about the model to be purchased so I decided to purchase by on the spot decision. Since I wanted to go to a place where I am able to see maximum number of products so I decided to go to Reliance Digital, Satyam Tower (Opposite Haldirams), VIP Road, Kolkata.

Before discussing further I would like to tell you the story in gist. I purchased Sony VAIO- Model VPCYB15AG/S for Rs.23384. The MRP of this model on Sony website is Rs.22990 (inclusive of all the taxes) and the market price is in the range of Rs.22000

The Zahir by Paulo Coelho

  REDISCOVER LOVE !!!

My rating- 3.5/5

1. Why the width between railway tracks is similar all over the world and what is the relationship of this width with a successful marriage?  
2. What is Favor Bank?
3. Why sex is forbidden in all religion & culture? (Amazingly it has just one-word answer)
4. Have you ever thought about your funeral?

There are many more questions that you have never thought of in your life and I promise you an answer in the reviewed novel- The Zahir. I rarely get time to read these days but since am a fan of Paulo Coelho since I read The Alchemist, I gave a try to this novel.

The Paulo Coelho

He is a writer of Brazilian origin who writes in Portuguese language. In total, Coelho has published 29 books. Two of them – The Pilgrimage and The Valkyries – are autobiographical, while the majority of the rest are fictional, although rooted in his life experiences.

One of his novels, The Alchemist, holds Guinness World Record for most translated book (in 71 languages) by a living author.
