Tata photon online payment experience

I always prefer to pay my tata photon bill online using netbanking. I use tata docomo website to pay the bill.
On 25th July 2013, I paid my current month bill online on their website as last date for payment was 28.
I did not note down transaction number after confirmation as i had paid bill many times using same facility and never noted it.
On 27th, I received pending bill intimation by sms so i got confused. I verified payment history on their website and july's bill was still in pending status. There was no payment confirmation email and I didn't even noticed it.
Yesterday, I called tata photon customer care and informed them my issue. They told me to email it with bank statement details. I immediately mailed them.
Customer care person contacted me in the afternoon to confirm few details and assured me that issue will get resolved soon. Around 1-2 hrs later, i got sms that payment has been received by tata photon and they will resolve it.
In the evening, i got email confirmation of payment and also sms regarding same.
Good service by tata photon customer care people to resolve issue quickly.

Prime minister's national relief fund contribution delay in confirmation

In Uttarakhand tragedy last month, many people lost their near and dear ones, many locals lost their home. Salute to army who fought bad weather and rescued almost one lakh people who were stuck in floods.
I also felt bad like every indian and wanted to do something for the people who suffered. It was not possible to do much and only option available was to contribute small amount which I can donate.
I thought of helping by contributing towards prime minister's relief fund. My contribution is very small considering the damage done by this tragic incident.
On 1st July 2013, I made small contribution of Rs. 2000 by paying online. I got email confirmation of the payment. They have stated in mail that transaction confirmation will take 1-2 days and I will receive printed receipt by mail on my address within 15-20 days.
Last week, I was checking payment history on PMNRF website and status of my payment was still "Pending 
(Confirmation awaited from bank)". I contacted them for payment status using Contact Us form on website but no reply yet.

Marathi Natak : Eka Lagnachi Goshta

20 July 2013: Today morning, I booked ticket of marathi natak "Eka Lagnachi Goshta" at Ramkrishna More Theater at Chinchwad.
After almost a year, i would be watching Marathi natak. Prashant damle is king of Marathi theater and I have seen his earlier show of Bahurupi few years back.
This week is very happening in terms of Marathi Film industry as marathi movie "Duniyadari" is released.
I was confused whether to watch movie or natak, but I preferred to watch Prashant damle's show as I can watch movie next weekend.
Eka Lagnachi Goshta is very famous natak.
I will update once i watch it tomorrow.

22 July 2013: Very nice performance by both Prashant Damle(Manya) and Kavita Lad-Madhekar(Mani) equally supported by other actors.  I am happy that i got chance to watch it. This natak is all about story of two people who fell in love and their life before & after marriage. Nice comedy along with emotions, fights, misunderstanding between husband-wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Story is good and good thing is that it ends on a happy note (Sukhant).
"Khara sanga sukh mhanaje kay asata" and "Ti Pari aasmanachi" songs are also nice.

Next week, my friend brought Form with one more TPA medical exam form along with all the documents which I have to submit to hospital which will conduct medical test.

Cng price in chinchwad, pune up by 6 Rs. in year

One year back, I bought my Cng car (Wagon-r).
Cng price in pcmc was 39 Rupees at that time. Since then it is increased 3 times during last year.
First increased to Rs. 41.50, then to Rs. 43.
From 1st of July 2013, it is again increased from 43 to 45.
If it continues to increase at the same rate, people's preferance to buy cng car will go down as fuel economy is most important factor for buying cng car or converting to cng option.
Lets see what happen.

Update 14.09.2013: cng price is Rs. 47 now in chinchwad, pune.
