Wonderful site for business listings in Indian cities

justdial.com

I am now regularly using this site for all my business searches. If I want to get listings of restaurants that do home delivery or movie rentals, movie tickets, books or any other shop or business listing I need.

They have all the listings and the best part is you can put in a place near you and it will show the business listing in that area. Which is a great help.

Once you find the address you are looking for just click a link and provide you mobile phone and they will sms that address to you. So no need to write the address down either which is really nice. The site I am talking about is justdial.

Hacks for mobiles for free usage

mobiles I recently got a comment on my blog about tips and tricks to hack mobiles which will let people get free sms or gprs or even free talk time from all the major providers. But the site mentioned in the comments was password protected and the person wanted you to recharge his phone to get username and passwords to get into the site.

Seriously this is the guy who will provide you free sms or gprs or even talk time but he himself asks for recharges from people.

I strongly advice people not to fall for these tricks even if they have some hacks be very careful using them.

The mobile service providers ask all the details like address proof and photos for a reason. And don’t forget they have all these details about you. And its very easy for them to track you down and make you pay.

So don’t try these unless you really want to get into trouble.

Over 8 lakh aspirants for Infy jobs in 2007-08

For 43000 Jobs 8 lakh people applied at infosys. That’s 18 people for every job. I know that sounds not that bad. But most of the high level jobs have very little competition. The smaller jobs for fresher’s might have had huge competition where it would have been more like 500 for 1 job or something like that.

Its not bad when you take into account the number of candidates passing out of IT courses every year in India.

Read more here about the Infosys jobs

They have a huge training facility at mysore which can train 13,000 graduates at a time, with about 500 faculty rooms and 10,300 residential rooms.

Wonder how long this boom will continue, how much longer can they keep this up.
