Stay connected with your bills with My Airtel App

Honestly, I came to know about the My Airtel App quite recently. I wasn’t sure if it will work on my phone as I don’t have an airtel mobile number. Still, I gave it a try, as I have an Airtel broadband and a airtel fixed line at home. To my surprise, I entered the app with my non-airtel sim and I was signed into the app. I was extremely surprised and happy that we need not have an airtel number to log in to the airtel app. When I entered the app with my other number, I was happy to find the numbers of my broadband and the fixed line being listed in the app, as the registered phone number with these devices were my other mobile number. This is the first feature I loved in the airtel app.
The second feature I liked in the My airtel app is that it is extremely user friendly. I could find my internet usage, how much is left of my balance. I could also find the bill summary and the outstanding bill amount. The first page displayed my outstanding bill and the internet usage. Both are very useful. The bill displayed acts as a reminder for me to pay, while the usage information is also extremely important. Most importantly, I can pay the bill through this app. I need not visit the airtel website to pay my bill. With just one click, I can see the outstanding amount payable and pay the bill the next minute.
There was an instance when the fast internet limit was over, I received a message stating that I have crossed the limit and the speed of the internet from now will be less. It also mentioned from when the internet speed will be reset. The same information is also available in the app. It is very useful, as it relieves me of the tension when I worry about the slow internet without even realizing that I have exhausted the package.
The third feature that I liked is the ability to add more products. I am planning to buy an airtel DTH. I can directly add the DTH to this app. If in the future, I buy an airtel mobile number, I can add that number as well. Every airtel device is in one place, and is extremely well organized.
Apart from this, airtel app also provides various coupons and offers on various websites. Though it is not the prime criteria to start using the airtel app, it is definitely an added advantage. Without spending an extra dime, I can get the offer coupon I want just by recharging my airtel device. The most amazing part is that I can get the offers by shaking the phone, which is very unique.
With all these features I use, and much more other features, this My Airtel App is a huge hit among the airtel customers. It helps the customer organize every airtel product in one place and keep a track of everything.

What can the Kapil’s Nayi League be?



When I first saw the video of Kapil Dev talking about his Nayi League, I wondered what could it be. He talks to Dhoni about retirement, Sania about women sports, Yuvraj and even the reality show host. What could all of these celebrities have in common? Also Kapil talks about these people doing what they love with their heart. He starts the video with “Dil se Kheloge toh hit wicket ho jaoge”. This league should be played without the influence of the heart. How can one not play a game with heart? It is quite beyond my reality.
Everywhere we go we have heard that one should listen to his heart and do according to what the heart says. But this is a different sort of a game and league where everyone is talking about how not to listen to your heart. This will be very interesting to see and play.
If we can’t use our hearts, then the logical next step is use the brain and mind. So how do we use only the mind without the heart? It could be a reality game show where the sportsmen from the world will come together and play with their minds, along with the participants who are general public. The game show can have questions regarding sports, some real life incidents. The competition between the celebrities and non-celebrities could be how different they would react to a particular scenario.  It is more fun and we can understand how the sportsmen think in the field under huge pressure. Who knows, the same person would have decided something on the field, but later on he would choose some other option altogether for the same situation.
The game show can also include tournaments between the celebrities and also with the other participants. These participants could be the state level players or junior players. These players will get an opportunity to interact with the established and star players. They will be coached for their future in a way very different from the usual mentoring and coaching sessions.
This game show can also bring lot of women sports person to the center stage. As Kapil Dev says, there are hardly 300 women playing tennis in India and Sania is among Top 20 in the world. This nayi league would be a platform for women to launch themselves.
Also, nowadays with the IPL generating huge cash and the players are auctioned for crores of rupees, this new league can be a platform to connect with the others. A part of the cash generated could be given back to the society. This Nayi league will be a new age phenomenon where everyone come together to play and have a good time, and at the same time give back to those who are under-privileged. Another point to consider is, with the increasing virtual and mind games, this ‘dil se mat khelo’ league will be a super hit among youngsters as well the adults.
