Novelty Communication – A Small Mobile Phone Business Worth its Salt
Novelty Communication – A Small Mobile Phone Business Worth its Salt
I was introduced to Raman (owner) of Novelty Communication (and by the way it is Novelty Communication – NOT Novelty Communications) through my friend Ajit who is Raman’s first cousin. And thank God that Ajit did me this favor.
Novelty Communication is a small mobile phone business based in Chittaranjan Park (not in Kalkaji) run by Raman and his father along with a few employees. I have done business worth over a lac with Novelty Communications over the last few months of being introduced to them and given them referrals worth over half a lac (or perhaps more) as well. And I do admit that are not THE CHEAPEST in the market, but they are definitely reasonably priced.
I purchase all my mobile phones and tablets from Novelty Communication despite the above fact because of their customer service. Raman is a gem to deal with. Although short tempered at times, but very good at heart. I won’t lie to you. No, my last 1-2 experiences have had some hiccups, but Novelty Communication (based in Chittranjan Park, contact Raman) goes out of its way to make sure that I am finally satisfied.
This is one reason I prefer them over Flipkart or Infibeam because of their small business model which focuses on customer satisfaction above everything else. Although sometimes there are troubles, I am sure stories with any other big store would often be far worse to hear. In comparison, this honest business owner sticks to him word and does not deter in providing a refund if it does not involve losses for him.
Novelty Communication’s owners are honest, trust worthy, friendly and awesome to deal with. Novelty’s business model is based on personalized customer service and that is the only reason they are still in business. Yes, at times there can be problems. But by and large they try to help you out and do whatever they can to please every customer, and that price you pay becomes worth it due to this.
At Novelty Communication Chittranjan Park they basically deal in mobiles (and accessories) and tablets, both brand new and second hand, buying and selling both. And this is the best part. I can sell old stuff to them within minutes for a decent (not fantastic, but not too bad either) price. And their free home delivery within a matter of an hour or two beats any online website and shreds it to pieces. Am I not right? Of course I am, Novelty Communication :)
I am impressed with Raman at Novelty Communication. Although he runs a small business with a niche clientele, he is honest and sincere and tries hard to please the customer. Of course, he is not perfect but then none of us are.
I wish Novelty Communication every success in their business and hope Raman goes far in his dream of making it big in the mobile phone industry, at least as far as it is possible now :) Novelty Communication is worth recommending to a friend and if you agree with me, then do contact him for your mobile phone needs, you can give him my reference (Aakshey Talwar).

Bottomline: I recommend my friends to buy from Novelty Communication!

Overclocking
Overclocking to squeeze the maximum juice out of your processor (CPU):
Have you ever considered overclocking your processor (be it Intel or AMD based)? What the hell is overclocking? I know, you would ask that. Well, suppose a CPU is rated by the manufacturer to run at 3 GHz but you still aren’t satisfied with its performance, then overclocking is the magical (LOL) method to fine tune the frequency of your processor and take it to the next level. At times the next level could even be near 5 GHz levels.
Well, of course each chip is different and it all depends on the processor chip in question. But that is the basic fundamental on which overclocking is based. And mind you, if done with some guidance it can really do wonders and you won’t blow or spoil anything. Yup, nothing at all. You just need to know what to do and how to do it.
I myself overclock all my processors, from the first time I got my personal PC (:P) and have never experienced any irreversible trouble so far. Worst comes worst, bring it back to stock frequency and not even the company can tell if it was overclocked.
Of course, things like cooling and stuff need to be considered and you do need to read up with respect to your particular chip before you take the plunge.
But overclocking Intel Core i7 and Core i5 processors can really make a lot of difference to their performance. Especially SB (Sandy Bridge) processors overclock like tasty cakes. They are little babies, overclockers’ delight.
You can squeeze out the last bit of juice from your computer by overclocking, it will probably last another 6-12 months before you need to change it. That is besides the fun and thrill of overclocking of course which is more important for us enthusiasts. It brings in a sense of achievement.
Overclocking can effectively prolong your effective computer life by giving you more power at the same price.
One such product which you could perhaps try if you are interested in overclocking is mentioned below:

Suit Up!
Yup, so I was out there suit shopping. Ya, you read it right, my very first Men's suit! :D
From all the research I have done till now. If you want a really good suit in India, you have two options:
BESPOKE TAILOR MADE
Although many people claim to offer this service, in reality, there are only three tailor shops in India which offer this service to even a small extent, and of them only one (Vaish at Rivoli) is relatively genuine at that, but again far from anything truly Bespoke.
1. Vaish at Rivoli in CP, New Delhi (Don't confuse with D Vaish or Vaish & Sons, both of which are absolutely crap)
2. Sywed Bawkher in Chennai
3. Kaichens in Mumbai (Not as good though)
All three make it to the top 3 most expensive and high quality tailoring shops in India and arguably one of the best ones in whole of Asia.
Being in Delhi (also since Vaish is undoubtedly No.1 in India), I of course went for Vaish at Rivoli. One thing I would like to stress on is that you should only go for 100% wool (even for summers) or a wool and cashmere blend unlike what every Indian fabric from Raymonds/Reid & Taylor is which is basically a polyester blend.
V@R suits start at 12k including tailoring and fabric and go up to 1 lac. Their average suit is around 25-30k. Most of the Indian fabrics (still 100% wool I guess) cost around 15-20k+- including tailoring. Italian fabrics are more expensive and I only saw Italian fabrics in his shop. It is unlikely to choose anything below 25k and in all probability anything good will be at least 30-35k with high end stuff starting around 50k or more.
I bought a Super Wool 140 from an Italian brand, a two piece, two button suit for 31500. A solid jet black suit. They showed us a high end Zegna fabric which was way way softer but priced at 65k :( You can get a Zegna suit made around Rs.45000 from Super Wool 130 though.
My suit in still being made and it usually takes around 3 weeks for completion. Other good tailors are basically located in Hong Kong and some other Asian countries, Europe being out of league for me of course :(
As for shirts, they basically make shirts in the 2-5k range and I ordered a baby pink Italian cotton shirt for 3800. They do keep Italian ties as well which range from 2700 to 7000+. I will probably pick up one of their ties soon too I hope :)
Now, if you don't want something tailor made, then the choice in India is pretty limited. The only choice I would recommend if you aren't willing to spend in the Hugo Boss league which will be 40-50k if not more, is Boggi Milano which ranges from 16k to 30k for made in Europe suits. However, at a given price point in India especially below 50-70k, no ready made suit can compete with one from Vaish at Rivoli, at the same price point, that is.
Other options are Esprit or S Oliver but I doubt they would be comparable to Boggi Milano in terms of quality and they probably wouldn't be cheaper either.
And if you really want a good suit, you need to spend at least 20-30k even as a start. Anything below that doesn't fetch you a good suit in any part of the world.
INDIA (Suits)
Entry Level : <12k (The cheapest stuff you get out there)
Low End : 12-20k (The cheapest stuff at Vaish at Rivoli or Boggi etc)
Mid Range : 20-40k (Most of the range at Vaish at Rivoli or decent brands like Boggi, though Vaish is recommended any day)
High End : 40k+ (Expensive stuff at Vaish or designer labels like Boss etc)
Ultra High End : 1.5-2L+ (Brioni starts around this price)
USA (Suits) Talking of sale prices, not MSRP
Entry Level : <$400 (Tommy, Calvin etc, much better than Indian entry level stuff though)
Low End : $400-800 (JCrew, Jos A Bank, Boss etc, comparable to Indian low end stuff from a good place like V@R)
Mid Range : $800-1500 (Stuff like Boss, Armani, and other designer labels or some cheaper bespoke tailors in USA)
High End : $1500-4000 (At this price anything in USA beats most Indian stuff)
Ultra High End : >$4000 (Brioni and all)
Also, when I say you need to spend 30k on a suit, most of the cost goes to the fabric and not the tailoring itself, though tailoring is 50% of the work in a suit. Vaish at Rivoli just charges 6k for a regular suit and 10k for a fully canvassed suit(strongly recommended) and the rest is the fabric. But compared to Raymonds pricing of 2-2.5k for tailoring a suit, this is quite steep and hence only the affluent and well off people are usually found buying off Vaish at Rivoli and other such places.
He boasts of a clientele which includes KK Birla, Shivender Singh, both ex US Presidents, recommended by Vir Sanghvi etc.
But if you get a suit twice as good even at 18-20k compared to a 12-15k Raymonds suit, something way out of the league, then you really can't call Vaish expensive. What more bang for buck do you want? :P
Btw, they do Tuxedos too starting at 20k :D
Anyway, let us see how this suit goes :)

Not to forget
Oh my god! What have I done? Who have I become? Oh no! NO...
I can't be doing this to my self. Do I even have the right to joy in these last desperate days of my life? It won't be too long before I would be gone, gone forever, gone for good.
Although it is destined to be so very soon, I sincerely hope that I die before June 2012 arrives and don't need to stay on this planet a day longer than just enough to make me a graduate.
But I know it will take a little longer than that :( I genuinely hope not though, I wish to die and die when I wish.
The purposes of this life has been achieved and I don't wish to complete the remaining tasks at hand. I don't wish to engage in massive destruction in this life and what has been done this time is more than enough as my work for this life.
Now please bless me with peace and wish that my life comes to and end before you can even guess, please my friends!
Amen.

And I show him down, every day!
Oh hell yeah, I show him down, because he is just no good. Who he? 'Fucking God', who else?!
I know that I can do a better job of every single moment, of every single person's life. I tell him that, flatly, in fact, as flat as can be.
Alas, why does God only have an IQ of 150 (my estimation) when 95% of the greatest geniuses could wipe his feet of the floor with their brains. And I of course, am much much superior to them all.
So fuck ya, God stands not a chance. He is as stupid as any god damn idiot can be. He is as arrogant and wicked as somebody so stupid for his position must be, and much worse.
I am better, I am the best, I can do a better job and he must now go to rest. I wish t he reins of this world don't stay with him much longer, he should resign and then it would be a fest :P
