@GodrejInterio4U I had raised a complaint with Godrej Interio showroom in Prahlad nagar, Ahmedabad for repair of furniture purchased from there, for one week I have been following up and no one has visited so far, kindly ensure prompt action, thanks
@HavellsCare360 I have made service request for Havells OTG(Ref 27042429706966). Service person Parth checked and subsequently(after few days) took the OTG for repair. Now he is not returning it back despite repeated calls and follow-ups. This is theft!
I spoke with yet another scammer today. I don't know why I do this, but here we go.
It all started with a few annoying Whatsapp messages trying to scam me. But we ended up wishing each other good luck 😂

@drmkgp @RailwaySeva@srdme_kgp Thank you for the prompt response, pls help to resolve issue urgently, pathetic and unhygienic environment for elders and kids..
Travelling in 12833(departure 9th Nov) - tainted pillow bed sheets, toilets clogged, toilets lock not working, pathetic situation with elders and children, attenders not helping, help urgently @RailwaySeva@IRCTCofficial
I visited this kick-ass south Indian restaurant called Tadka in Kyoto, Japan. Tadka is owned and run by Japanese people. They visit Chennai once every 6 months, learn new dishes, practice it to perfection and add it to their menu.
@bsnl_care I have already DM’d you details 2 weeks back, please do not send template replies and apologies if you are not interested in resolving the issue. All this for transferring a landline, really shameful!
@bsnl_care I had given request for transfer of my residence landline/broadband at Vastrapur branch(Ahmedabad) 3 weeks back, visited 2 times, staff at branch say officer is on training and hence application is not processed, is this normal??? Please resolve!
@bsnl_care@BSNL_GJ@BSNLCorporate Day 15 - 1 Month gone, and no response from BSNL regarding this. 1 Month for a landline transfer, and still not done. Super service - both BSNL Care & Vastrapur branch!
@bsnl_care Day 8 - 3 weeks gone. BSNLCare calls my inactive number, which they are not transferring, and say cannot reach you. Ask to visit office which have done multiple times or call helpline(who misguide you). So much for just transferring a landline! @BSNL_GJ@BSNLCorporate

In 2009, Stanford business professor Tina Seelig split her class into groups and issued a challenge:
Each group had $5 and 2 hours to make the highest return on the initial money.
At the end, they'd give a short presentation on their strategy.
The results were fascinating...
Most of the groups followed a basic approach:
• Use the $5 to buy a few items.
• Barter or resell those items.
• Repeat
• Sell final items for (hopefully) more than $5.
These groups made a modest return on their initial $5.
A few groups ignored the $5.
They thought up ways to make the most money in the 2 hours of allotted time:
• Made and sold reservations at hot restaurants.
• Refilled bike tires on campus for $1 each.
These groups made a better return on their initial $5.
The winning group took an entirely different approach.
They had three core realizations:
1. The $5 was nothing more than a distraction.
2. The 2 hours of time was not enough to make an attractive, outsized return with a mini-business (like selling restaurant reservations or filling bike tires).
3. The most valuable "asset" was actually the presentation time in front of a class of Stanford students.
Realizing the value of this hidden asset, they offered the presentation time to companies looking to recruit Stanford students.
They struck a deal to sell the time slot for $650, netting a monstrous return on the $5 of initial capital.
The losing groups thought in linear, logical terms and achieved a linear, logical outcome.
The winning group thought differently.
So, what can we learn from this story?
There are two types of problems:
1. Low-Stakes: Lower potential, linear rewards. Decisions are easily reversible.
2. High-Stakes: Higher potential, asymmetric rewards. Decisions are not easily reversible.
With low-stakes problems, given the reward potential is low and the decisions are easily reversible, we can use shortcuts and heuristics to choose our path. We can take a logical, linear approach.
With high-stakes problems, the high, asymmetric reward potential means we need to think differently. We want to take a creative, non-linear approach.
Three steps to start thinking differently:
Step 1: Avoid the Distraction
There will always be an "obvious" solution that is simple, clear, and entirely wrong.
In the challenge, the $5 was nothing more than a distraction. It was a trap.
To find the best path, you have to avoid the distraction.
Step 2: Ask Foundational Questions
Ask and answer questions that expose and vet underlying assumptions and logic.
• What's the real problem you are trying to solve?
• What's your hypothesis? Why?
• What are your core assumptions? Why?
• What evidence do you have?
• What are your core options?
• What alternatives exist?
This takes time, but it's an essential exercise when facing a problem with the potential for non-linear rewards.
Step 3: Select the High Leverage Approach
Slow down and evaluate the options on the table.
Select the path most likely to generate the asymmetric, attractive risk-adjusted returns.
If the story teaches us one thing, it's this:
Creative, non-linear, asymmetric thinking generates creative, non-linear, asymmetric outcomes.

@bsnl_care Day 2 - Any reply on this? You have not even asked me to DM the details, so no intention of helping out at all? What is the use of having a twitter bsnl care???
@bsnl_care 1. Submit transfer application at office
2. visited twice, nothing happens
3. Compliant on twitter, says to call on support number or visit branch
4. Support number says to mail
5. Mail support is not active, says raise issue in portal
6. Portal has no option! Now what???
