Online Matrimonial Websites in India

Are you ready for marriage but haven’t clicked with anyone yet? Are you a strong believer of arranged marriage but want to add a dash of love marriage to the mix? Then read on because the next few minutes could show you the easiest way to the altar.

Gone are the days when girl met boy along with his parents, over a cup of tea and biscuits. Gone too are the days when a cousin’s marriage was fertile ground for match making. Or asking a well meaning relative or friend to look for prospective matches for your son or daughter.

In the cyber era, a conventional advertisement in the matrimonial classifieds section of a newspaper is no longer enough to find your dream mate. Instead, if you want to hear wedding bells ring, replace cupid’s arrow with your cursor and voila! You have a match made in cyberspace.

The Net is no longer regarded with suspicion as a meeting and dating avenue, but is more serious, committed and thousands of people are tying the knot thanks to the new matchmakers in town- matrimonial portals.

And it is not just busy professionals who are e-mailing or chatting with prospective spouses on the net, but parents are also putting up the profiles of eligible sons and daughters on these portals. So what makes online matrimony “click” better than conventional avenues of finding your match? Well, here are a few:

*The key advantage in these matrimonial websites is that they can be accessed 24x7 that too from any corner of the world. Unlike a newspaper classified, your advertisement does not get restricted to a specific region. So, you can contact any person from Chandigarh to Canada.

* This is the medium of immediate results. You can create your profile, talk at length about yourself, your family and hobbies (each profile gets an entire page) create your photo album and start receiving proposals instantly.

* Ease of communication is another reason, why the net is an ideal medium for matrimony. Unlike the print medium, you do not have to wait interminably for proposals to come in, but at a nominal fee, can contact prospective matches via e-mail and chat. And the response time is also faster than waiting for the postman to ring your doorbell.

*You can streamline your search according to your own preferences, contact the person you like, accept or decline their proposals on your own terms. And if you are shy to contact anyone, then don’t worry people who like your profile will certainly send you proposals.

*You can control your privacy level by filtering out the people whom you don’t want to contact and even from whom you don’t want to receive contacts. Also you can contact or chat with a person without disclosing your details.

Last but not the least, the net is the perfect medium for people who shy away from an “arranged marriage” but have yet not found the love of their lives. The net helps them to get to know their prospective spouses better even before the conventional meeting is “arranged” over tea!

All this cannot be availed throug an offline medium i.e. through a newspaper classified or a marriage bureau where the reach of the medium is limited and one has to pay even before understanding the pros and cons of that medium. The advertisement will be of a few column centimeters and may not even catch anybody’s attention. You would also need to do some paper work in order to maintain a list of the people contacted.

Pros and Cons of Online Banking

Now every bank has started giving facility of online banking to their customers which is not only helping the customers regarding transaction process but also help banks in maintaining the records of their customers. Online banking is a facility provided by banks with the help of which people can access their account and do all types of transactions through a secured website created by Banks. To get this facility, people have to go to their bank and have to fill up a form after which they get a customer ID and a password with the help of which they can access their account.

The foremost facility provided by online banking to the people is that they can do any transaction process without visiting their bank. Online banking helps people in paying their each and every bill online and also transferring funds from one account to others. Some banks provide their customers the facility of scheduling all bill payments of month at once after which customers don’t need to remember bill payment dates and their bill payment get deducted every month from the account on the date chosen by customer. Banks also provide some additional features in online banking like latest stock market information, loan applications and various offers provided by bank.

On the other hand there are some risky factors and inconveniences that a customer must know. Customer should always access their account through a secured connection otherwise there is a strong possibility of identity theft. In case online bill payment, customer must know that the recipient is also capable of processing e-payments. Customer should always keep a hard copy of bank statement because in case of any technical error, it will be the only proof. There is also a possibility when the website is down and you are doing some online transaction. So for that case, always keep the bank phone number when you are not able to access your account.

Buying a Laptop - Don’t forget Budget

I know that my blog is completely on finance and it has nothing to do with technical subjects or gadgets. But few days back, I bought my new laptop with the help of my brother. He knows pretty much about all these gadgets, at least more than me. So when I bought the laptop, then I thought that I must share my knowledge and experience with all my readers.

I have a desktop PC but since I have to travel a lot, I need something which can carry my all office work. I was not in favor of buying Laptop but my brother convinced me that buying laptop will bring a heavy change in my work as well as it’ll help in more ways than what I required. My brother helped me a lot regarding configuration of laptop. I needed a small screen laptop because I don’t want to carry a big laptop all the time with me. Also, I travel a lot so I need a laptop with long lasting battery. I needed a laptop which comes with wireless internet because I have to use internet a lot for office work as well as for blogging. Then there were some other configuration factors like hard disk space, RAM, sound card, graphics card and many other things which my brother decided.

Then, we searched on internet about laptops of all good brands to find quality laptop of our requirement with great offer. We didn’t get a particular website where we can compare every brand of laptops to find which one is better. So we went through website of each brand and note down the details of laptop of our requirement and then we compared all the details. These things helped me a lot to know more about laptops. Then we looked for any discount or other accessories offered by the company. And then, at last we bought a good laptop with all the features I needed as well as at comparatively very cheap price. So as a financial advisor I always say that whatever you buy, never cross your budget limits.
