Sidin rocks

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Now, this shud be one of the gutsiest decisions i’ve seen in recent days.
Life is full of heroes if only we care to look.
Sidin is certainly my hero. By this, he also posed me a question - When am i going to do the same or something similiar?

ICICI two-wheeler finance

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

The following is based on a true incident. Its not fiction.

Scene 1 :

X takes his two-wheeler out of his house and parks it in front of his gate.
His mom calls from inside and so X goes inside the house to respond her leaving his vehicle outside.

On coming back he is shocked to find his vehicle missing!

What! missing? How come? It was here a moment ago?

For sometime he thinks some vehicle thief had stolen his vehicle and proceeds to lodge a police complaint.

Now what if i tell you that his vehicle is not actually stolen but his financier ICICI Bank had actually taken ‘peaceful possesion of his vehicle’ in view of his failure to pay the due for the last month or two.

I mean its totally wrong to buy something and not make payment for the due amount. The bank is fully entitled to receive its outstanding amount or initiate proceedings. No second opinions on that. But taking possession of the vehicle without even intimating the owner like a robber is so damn cheap. Its just third rate behaviour. Not even the eetikaaran seen in tamil movies would stoop down to such levels.

All this is from one of the top private sector bank in India.

And Oh Yeah Customer is King!!!
