With Mobile number portability to start today, here’s how you can shift from your current service provider to a new one.

Send an SMS from your phone to 1900. Your present company will reply with a unique porting code. Use that code while filling out a detailed form for the company you want to shift to. Within 48 hours, that company will take over all your cell services. The fee charge may cost you about Rs 19.

Your cell number will be switched off for only one hour. All bills after that are paid to your new company. You’ll be stuck with them for at least 50 days before you can shift again, so choose with care. While you can shift from a GSM service to CDMA or vice versa, you cannot shift from one state to another.

So, yeah, this was supposed to be a new leash of life for this place. But it seems like life has a different set of ideas. A lot of new stuff happened over the last few days that i could not post here.

Well, what can i say about this nice looking design to the blog. This most likely will be the start of more frequent and active blogging from me.

For those in 1024 resolution, you will not see the beach on the side.. But those with bigger monitors, should be able to see the Marina Beach

The design is inspired by the recent Tamil movie Madrasapattinam and is themed around the pre 1950’s look.

We have the Old Madras Central Railway Station, Marina Beach, Ripon Building, Cooum river while it was a river and the Marina Beach with the fishing boats.

The design is by Miner and coded by Girendra.
