Mobile Recharge!

Way back in 2005, I had blogged about Hutch's great strategy in introducing Rs. 10 prepaid coupons... Read that here

Then I had sincerely wished for other mobile co's to follow suit. Last week when I was standing in a medical shop which also sells recharge coupons, nearly 5 to 6 people came to buy Rs. 10 top up coupons of Airtel, Aircel and others in a window of 5 minutes!... I was running low on my talktime and thought of buying a 10 Rs. coupon to see how it works.

For Rs. 10, you will get 7.50/- as talktime, which I think is worth. The lowest Recharge card (with 1 month validity) available for Airtel is for Rs. 200 and you will hardly get Rs.45 talktime in it.

Then an idea struck me.... why not take a Lifetime Validity option after paying 1000 bucks or so, wherein your mobile will always receive calls and you can top up with values of your choice whenever you want... no need for costly recharge coupons with validity... Hows the idea??

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
