Nothing is for free in this world!!!

It was a pleasant autumn afternoon while I was for a change, DEEPLY engrossed in some studies that i got I got a call from a lady working for Country vacation saying that I am one of the people who got gifts in a lucky draw that took place in one multiplex on the outer limits of the city. This lady said that i needed to get a couple to attend their seminar and need not get any money or sign up any forms or contracts. She mentioned "just to avoid misuse of the gifts, they needed a couple to attend this 90 min seminar in their office! I was literally wondering as to what this stuff would be. My instincts said oh come on buddy; nothing's free in this world!!! 
I did call up a couple of friends to know their views on this. They seemed as perplexed as me.

This lady again called me and asked for a confirmation! I replied saying that I was ready to come, but getting a couple was the more difficult fact. Then she said something that cleared off any confusion that I had! She said that for the no. of years that I have been living in Chennai (don’t know how she concluded that fact); I should be familiar with many couples around in my locality and friends circle, who will be ready to listen to me!

AHHHHH!!! That’s it! Stop right there. You have no business to take up that matter. You want a couple, getting one is my problem. Don’t act rude to me I can be worse!...  was my prompt reply

Being in the commercial sector myself, I have had a taste of what professionalism would be. No professional takes up that tone of a speech if they really are bothered about their consumers/customers 

 It was the old way, MY BROTHER'S way!!... I pinged http://74.125.45.100.  Confused?? In simpler terms, ".For certain things, there exists no explanation! For the rest there is GOOGLE". One search and I got the following as the result in one of the page! It was wonderfully hilarious to go through all the posts!

The following was the link (read for some timepass!):http://www.complaints.com/2007/april/1/RCI_affiliation__Country_Club_Country_vacation_s_i_90440.htm

   This was one of the entries! And a MILLION thanks to who-so-ever did this! God bless them!

1. Free One Week Stay at one their club (Trivandrum, Goa, Thailand-Bali, Srilanka -Kandy) for four people
2. Free usage of Bangalore Country Club facilities for a day for Four people.
3. Kitchen Set.


"I been to the great place and here is the after story,
1. It is not FREE STAY. We need to pay Rs.3000- They are claiming, they are giving us the gift worth of Rs.25000 for that Rs.3000 is the nominal administration charge. Here is my comment about this,
I came to know from my friends circle that the properties (Trivandrum, Goa, Thailand-Bali, Sri lanka -Kandy) are not even worth enough to pay Rs.150 per night. They are very old properties, not maintained and not cleaned.
Better pay little higher than Rs.3000 and take a reputed resort and keep away from these cheaters
also the stay is only for one couple not for four people

2. Free usage of Bangalore Country Club facilities- ONLY THE SWIMMING POOL CAN BE UTALIZED.NOTHING ELSE. TO GET THIS YOU NEED TO REACH THE OUT SKIRT OF BANGALORE; also this is only for one couple


3. Kitchen Set- I have to say the true, very attractive, nice color worth between Rs150-200 if you are purchasing from a shop. BUT NEVER KEEP FOOD IN THAT. THE METERIAL THAT MADE UP OF THAT IS VERY LOW QUALITY. You can keep that in show case.
TO GET THIS WOTHLESS GIFTS YOU NEED TO PAY FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME TO LISTEN HOW THEY ARE CHEATING PUBLIC BY CELLING THE COUNTRY VACATION AND COUNTRY CLUB PRIVILAGE CARD.
They will give 100s of promises as they did for gifts to purchase their membership card. I came across with few people those are behind of this company (but not even registered under tourism act) to get their hard earned money back.
Please pass this information to your friends circle so that we can start save people, who may fall in their loop. Let's start a new India without any cheaters"


This gentleman was kind enough to put up his experience at least to aid others who are yet to be drawn into the plot! The fact that made me think was that i had actually been to this multiplex during my college days, for some time pass and i did fill up some draw coupons, just for the sake of doing it!
