"Axis Digital" Blogadda Meet

It was my second Axis meet and I was damn excited to know what magic these guys at Axis are going to present before us.

The venue was same, corporate office of Axis bank situated in the Bombay Dyeing Mills Compound.

The high class security and classy interiors were equally appealing as they were on my first visit.
As usual the lazy I was a bit late and I regret to miss the starting initial part of the meet.

The agenda of the meet was the launch of “Ping Pay” app by Axis Bank.

Here the magic begins.

What is Ping Pay

It is a multi social payment application by Axis Bank. With this app you can simply ping and send/ask for money or recharge to anyone on your Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Email or Phone book.

You can add digital content like pictures, video, text or audio to give a personal touch to the transaction and make it fun.

Ping Pay has been developed in partnership with Fastacash, a Singapore based, venture-capital backed firm. Fastacash’s technology enables value (money, airtime, coupons, etc) transfers, along with digital content, across any social network and messaging platform.

Why Ping Pay

The most appealing and amazing thing about this app is, it is an entry point for non-Axis customers. The impressive UI and features provides a rich user experience while banking.
Also people are more digitally and socially connected so this app is apt and most convenient for them. The only banking social payment application which allows users to share digital content like text, images, audio and video, while sending/asking for money/mobile recharge.

Features of Ping Pay

1.       Send & Ask money through social media.

2.       Send & Ask recharge socially.

3.       Open saving account with Axis and view balance.

Security Features

ü  Sim locking

ü  Device locking

ü  OTP

Transaction Level

ü  Fastalink is locked to a profile – cannot be forwarded

ü  Transaction limit is Rs 50000 per day and transaction.

How Ping Pay Works

The app provides an innovative, gesture based user experience that enables money transfers without having to type in the account number and the IFSC code. Sending or requesting money or mobile recharges with the Ping Pay app takes a few simple steps. When sending money, the user chooses a social or messaging channel and selects the name of the person to whom the money is to be sent. They enter the amount to be sent and set a “ping code” that is shared separately with the receiver. Upon confirming the transaction, the money is immediately sent and the receiver gets a message across the social or messaging channel selected by the sender. The receiver has 15 days to transfer the money to his/her bank account using IMPS. In the event, the receiver does not claim the money received within 15 days, the transaction would be auto-reversed to the sender’s account. Ping Pay also has ‘Ask for Money’ and ‘Ask for Recharge’ options, which would allow the receiver to put in a request for funds and also seek recharge from their friends and family across social.

Finally the magic show got over and I was a happy and satisfied man.
We had our set of questions and the Axis magicians answered them all quite superbly.

A sumptuous and delicious lunch was awaiting us and my taste buds were all set for the treat.
Gulab Jamun & Gajar ka halwa with ice cream made my day.

My Airtel App - A must download for all Airtel users

Today the world is full of apps.  Every brand, every company has its own app and it also keeps on updating the same to give their customer a great user experience.

Telecom companies are nowhere behind when it comes to updating their apps.

India’s biggest telecom operator “Airtel has recently updated its My Airtel app with a fresh new design and features. The updated version of app has new deals and offers to attract more customers.

As an Airtel user I was excited to know about this announcement and without wasting any time I updated my “My Airtel App”.

The new app has come up with various new exciting features.

It lets you have access to any of the Airtel services which you like from any part of India.

You can order games and movies as per your choice. It manages your mobile, digitalTV, bill payments and broadband internet.

The app now also offers notification alerts for low balance, pack expiry date and due date for payments.

You can send and receive money and enjoy many other special offers.

I loved navigating through the new app.

The UI is awesome and it is quite easy to use the app.

3 key features which really impressed are as below

1.  The first exciting and unique feature about this new App is the shake feature.

     We need to just shake the mobile while we are in the App and it will bring the best recharge deals
     for us. Currently the shake feature is available only on Android but Airtel promises to bring it to
     iOS pretty soon. I found this feature pretty cool.

2. The next amazing thing about this new app is the “Airtel Surprises”.

     On every recharge get free coupons from merchant across categories like shopping, food,
     wellness, entertainment etc.  I love to shop for me and my girlfriend and free coupons always
     bring a smile on my face. 

  

3. The “I Want to” feature is another awesome addition in the current updated version of the app.

     It allows customer to make their frequent tasks (recharge of specific amount, recharge of specific

      mobile no, transfer of particular amount of money etc ) a quick action on their application’s home

     screen. 

Airtel is soon going to air a new advertising campaign dubbed “Bachat ki khunn khunn”, which will be highlighting the new features of the “My Airtel app”.

The in-application payment experience and card store feature have also been upgraded.

Airtel’s payment stack is now PCI-DSS certified to ensure a safe, secure and faster check out experience for customers using the “My Airtel app”.

I am really impressed by the features offered by Airtel in the updated “My Airtel app”.
It is a must try for all the Airtel users and trust me you will really love it.

All sport bike companies and big names of the biking industry are eager to launch their bikes in India.
Whether it’s a new bike or a second hand babe, craze for speed demons have increased manifold among the youngsters of India.

Fastest growing Bike hubs in India

Today’s market is full of amazing bikes having all the features which can make anyone go crazy hence the desire to get your hands on different sexy speed demons have increased a lot./
As a result the second hand bike market is on a boom and Ahmedabad has evolved as the biggest second hand bike market in India.

Factors considered while buying a second hand bike in Ahmedabad -:

There are 4 different categories which can help you choose the best second hand bike according your needs.

1. Budget

    There are bikes less than Rs 30,000 which are the basic models known for giving the best mileage.

    So if you are just looking for mileage, go for these bikes.

    Then there is the middle category from Rs 300,000 to Rs 80,000 which includes the most popular
    bikes by volume. These bikes for known to have decent mileage and looks and also can satisfy
    your speed craziness to some extent.

    engine and an experience of adrenaline rush when you ride them.

2. The age of bike

     Basically a bike which is purchased within 5 years from the date of sell is preferred.

3. The Kms Driven

     A bike if driven more is not much preferred as it is more prone to issues and troubles.

     According to me 50,000 kms should be threshold limit.

     Some of the popular brands are Hero, Bajaj, Honda, Hero Honda, Yamaha, Royal Enfield,

#EkNayiLeague, a league of Mr Kapil Dev !!!

Mr Kapil Dev, the famous cricketer and the captain of the Indian cricket team who won the first cricket world cup for India is not talking about cricket these days.

He is not busy coaching the newcomers and supporting the Indian cricket team but he is busy managing his twitter account.

Yes there is a buzz on his twitter account which is about #EkNayiLeague.
According to me this new league is going to be quite different and interesting as a person like Kapil Dev himself will be forming it.

Also I saw some videos which were created for the promotion of this new concept #EkNayiLeague.

Kapil Dev is seen talking to celebrities about how they will fail if they played his Nayi League with all their heart.
He is cautioning Kapil Sharma alias Bittu to not play this New League with his heart otherwise he will suffer from googly.
He also mentions about M.S Dhoni’s and his retirement and how people suggested against going that decision as both of them made the Indian team with all their heart.
But this new league is not to be played with heart.

He also talks about the women of India who are reaching new heights, especially in tennis he talks about Sania Mirza who plays from her heart, but again he cautions that his new league has nothing to do with heart.

So from his entire talking one thing is pretty clear that this new league is all about mind game and has nothing to do with heart, otherwise you will be hit wicket.

He is also talking about IPL and feels very proud to see young cricketers earning a handsome amount from it especially Yuvraj Singh who got a contract worth 16 crores Indian rupees in the current IPL season.

So basically I think this new league is also going to make people rich. It will raise the financial status of the participants. There is a speculation from my side that a good amount of money will be invested by various brands in this new league.

It can be a war between various teams/ individuals judging their decision making and various other mind boggling skills.

More or less it can be a reality show where people need to perform various tasks to retain their position in the league.

It can be a quiz or a game where people have to answer different questions correctly.

Whatever this new league is, it is all about the power of mind.

If by now you are able to predict something about this new league then here is your chance to win 1 lakh rupees.
Submit your prediction here and if your prediction is on target you can win a jackpot worth 1 lakh rupees and also a chance to meet Mr Kapil Dev.

Follow twitter account of Mr Kapil Dev to know more about his new league.

When a non mumbaikar falls in love with a mumbaikar..Its fun..!!!

It's a famous saying that opposite attracts and fall in love, but what happens after that.
A small tale of a non mumbaikar who falls in love with a mumbaikar

How it starts

The initial days are fine but one fine day you face the real horror "Virar Train"

No phone network in local trains gives spark to your small fights.

When every restaurant just have paneer in veg and everything in the world, when it comes to non veg.

                               


There is always Hollywood Action  vs   Bollywood mellodrama when it comes to movies 


                           

A bachelor living alone in mumbai finds it hard to pass his time, while the localid finds it hard to give him time.

For the non mumbaikar every place seems to be half an hour away and there is a always a fight when he fails to make it on time..damn mumbai traffic.

When she finds the mumbai weather awesome while for the non mumbaikar, it sucks.
It stinks and sweats all the time.

                              



The mumbaikar travels a lot and the non mumbaikar has his office just 15-20 mins away from his flat.

This post is just for a pinch of laughter and doesn't intend to offend anyone.

Where did I miss it any-day ?

I have loved you like crazy
And I know it increases every day.
But you believe I don't
And I think where did I miss it any-day.

I always think about us
And my actions depict the same.
But you believe I don't
And I think where did I miss it any-day.

Our choices, habits and selections don't match
And I have always tried to bridge the gap.
But you believe I don't
And I think where did I miss it any-day.

I care about you and your likes
Though I have some limitations but I always work to get them right.
But you believe I don't
And I think where did I miss it any-day.

I never intend to give you trouble and sufferings
And always try to ease your pain.
But you believe I don't
And I think where did I miss it any-day.

I know we are not the perfect couple
But our love is true and immortal.
I hope you believe in me this time
Because meri www.life.com ka you are the only www.wife.com portal.
