<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Everyone loves Sunglasses, and being from a "ever sunny" place like Chennai, Sunglasses have become a part of my life!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I travel a lot everyday and sunglasses not only helps me sport a fashionable look but also saves my eyes from all the UV's, dirts and pollutants :) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I use my sunglasses for multiple reasons other than the primary ones stated above :) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Some of my "ohh-so-great" reasons are, </span></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">To save my eye makeup, yes I am a typical girl and I love not to spoil my eye makeup with all my hours together travel!</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">For safe sightseeing (ahem ahem..) guess everyone understood what I mean :)</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">For my flying hair as a hairband :) </span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">As a mirror - I know dont laugh, everyone does that :)</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">So <a href="http://www.gkboptical.com/">GKB optical</a> is a great place for buying sunglasses, Eyeglasses and Contact lenses at a great price. They have a wide range of collections to choose from, be it Raybon, Prada, D&G or Vougue - you name it and you will find it here :)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">They have this wonderful user friendly website with "Try on" feature, which helps one to choose the right glass according to their face shape and choice :)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">So my favorite 2 out of the lot are,</span></b><br />

THERE was a time when DVD players were expensive and not all of us had them in our homes. But the mass production factories in South Korea have brought down the prices. My first DVD Player in 2000 cost me Rs 23,000, and now I can buy a branded player for under Rs 3,000. So the problem isn’t the player now, the DVDs are. The movies you want to watch are still cost Rs 299+ and this makes the movie rental business interesting. Seventymm</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> took the lead, then came in guys like Moviemart, </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">and now big brother Reliance has entered the business with Big Flix.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Big Flix is spending millions on advertising, and it appeared a bargain to be able to rent movies unlimited for unlimited time at just Rs 299 a month. A month ago, I took the bait. It took me less than two minutes to sign up on http:\\www.bigflix.com\</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">. I was surprised to see that contrary to their ads, they had a limited number of regional language films, but for those whose basic choices will be English and Hindi films, they have enough. They offer the option of renting out 1, 2 or 3 discs at a time.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">In the FAQ section, I learnt I needed a wishlist of at least 25 titles to ensure timely delivery. I opted for some 30-odd titles and waited for my movies to arrive. I had registered on a Saturday and presumed I wouldn’t hear from anybody till Monday. But Sunday brought a surprise visitor who came armed with two titles from my selection. However, he demanded that I hand over two movies I had borrowed. I informed him I was a new member and that I did not have any Big Flix items in my possesion, but he would have none of it. A ring to their call center on Monday (no responses on Sunday) ironed things out, and I was told this would not recur.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">But things went wrong after that with confusion over titles delivered, about the number of discs I was entitled to borrow at a time and other hassles that left me aghast at the ineptness of the whole operation. Even after sending an email to customer care (an automatic ticket number was allocated and I was assured my complaint would be looked into), two weeks down the line, the discs don’t arrive on time, no one from customer care answers and movies automatically go into a pick up request.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I kept a movie for more than five days to see if I could hang on to it for as long as I wanted. I got a courteous SMS reminder reminding me of my misdemeanour and asking me to arrange a pick up.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here is the score sheet</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Customer Service: Worst possible</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Movie listing: Good.

So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. Know a good thing when you see it, and don't let it slip away. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it.<br />

Mind blowing :) ::For my 2 plus years in the company, i felt the best part of it 2day...!!<br />
<br />
Kalam's speech..!!! how thoughtful it was... i have heard n read about him in papers, but u know seeing is always different.. such a simplicity, humbleness, energy, determination, confidence..<br />
Hats off... he was there for an hour visiting our ACE centre, then came the interesting part, his speech..<br />
<br />
The best part was... when he read out this short para for us...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>Inventors – inventions and discoverers – discoveries</em></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>Let us study important inventors and their inventions. </em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* The Wright brothers and the plane. </em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* George Eastman and film </em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* Thomas Edison and the light bulb</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* Alexandra Graham bell and the telephone. </em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em></em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>Let us study a few Discoverers and their discoveries. </em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* Albert Einstein and the energy equation E=MC2</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* Srinivas Ramanujan and number theory</em></strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>* Sir CV Raman and Raman Effect </em></strong></span><br />
<strong><em><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"></span></em></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em>"Inventions and discoveries have emanated from creative minds that have been constantly working and imaging the outcome in the mind. With imaging and constant effort, all the forces of the universe work for that inspired mind, thereby leading to inventions or discoveries. Higher the number of creative minds in an organization, the best results of innovation will emerge"</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><strong><em></em></strong></span><br />
