Now a days you might have received sms from vodafone and other friends and saw ads in tv stating that if you send “CREDIT’ or ‘CA’ to 144 then you’ll receive 10 rupee credit .Is this true ?
YES this is absolutely true :-)
vodafone now becomes first cellular network in india to introduce credit system in mobile recharge.
The main purpose of this plan is to help customers of vodafone in remote place whose balance is low and there are no near by vodafone shops or retailer shops to recharge.So now you can recharge from any place !
Ok , does vodafone give you that 10 rupee free ?
No , not all . Credit usually means you get something before and pay aftrewards.So how you pay afterwards ?
After 7 days you use this system , on the 8th day automatically 10+1=11 rupees will be deducted from your balance.That 1 rupee is additional service charge.
Now you’ll ask , what if my balance is zero ?
Then your balance will go in negative and then when you recharge next time , it’ll be deducted.

Can all users use this credit system ?
No , this system has the following conditions.
1.For the past 3 months you should have been a vodafone customer.
2.Your balance must be below 5 Rupees
3.You must have validity at least for 7 days.

Tie manners….Choosing the right one

Posted by Blogger On July - 25 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

There are many things to think about when purchasing a tie, here are some of the main things to consider.

Tips to help you buy a tie:

Pick the right store at the right time. Take a moment to look for independent local stores that sell suits and ties, as you are much more likely to find a salesman/owner who knows everything there is to know about how to select the perfect tie. Someone who has been at a department store for a longtime can also provide you with lots of helpful tie advice, so ask “how long have you worked here” and if the answer ism’t satisfactory ask to work with someone who has been worked there longer. Give yourself some time to shop. You will get much better service selecting a tie on a Tuesday than on a crowded Saturday.

If you are shopping for a specific event take your suit and shirt with you to the store. This will enable you to get the look that you want. You will be amazed how different the shirt, suit and tie can look so different just by changing one of the three.

If you are tall ask to try a long tie. The triangle point of a properly fitted tie should come down to meet your belt buckle.

Give the tie a good going over to make sure that it is not damaged in anyway, is it smudged, a snag or have a loose thread?
