Krya Natural Detergent Powder Review/Feedback

I recently bought and used the Krya Natural Detergent Powder. Just thought of writing a review
about the same.

Couple of months back, we bought a washing machine and started using surf excel matic.
The washing quality was good. Somehow I didn't like the chemical smell and was looking
for a natural detergent powder which can be used in washing machines.

Few weeks back, I was browsing through The Hindu website and came across Krya products.

Visited their website krya.in on a Sunday and ordered both washing powder and dishwash powder.
Both were nicely packed and delivered on Tuesday. Somehow I was excited to open the pack,
not sure why. Here is the picture:

So far we have used the detergent powder alone. Will write a separate review for dishwash
powder later. Here is a separate picture of detergent powder pack:

I just took half of the detergent powder and put it in a plastic box. Remaining I kept it in the box
itself with a clip. Here is the picture of plastic box.

When we wanted to the washing, I put about 10gm or spoonful of the detergent powder in the bag provided. Here is the picture:

And the kept the bag just inside the drum. As shown here:

Before washing I just took a picture of my socks (it is used generally when
I am at home) just to see the results.

Now you can see Krya and the washing machine in action:

After the washing got over, we removed the bag from the drum and
put the residue in the plant (drum stick seed) we are trying to grow.

Here is the picture of the socks taken sometime in the evening

Overall, I felt the washing quality of both surf excel matic and
krya are same. Since, I was looking for a natural product krya is
right for me.

Beetel 450TC2 : Multiple device Wifi access issue has been resolved

I had issue with multiple devices accessing the beetel 450TC2 Wifi.
This has been resolved. Just thought of explaining the same here.

Couple of months back I wanted to get a broadband connection and
approached Airtel for the same. They said, they don't give modem.
Hence, bought a beetel 450TC2 from a shop.

The Airtel person came and replaced the default firmware with a new
one and rebooted the 450TC2. When the screen came up it said beenatone.
I asked him why it is showing beenatone. He said, the default firmware
will work for one wifi device only and this beenatone firmware will
work for multiple wifi devices.

After this, I was able to use multiple wifi devices to access the internet.
But one peculiar thing is the DSL, internet lights were not glowing,
only power and WLAN lights were glowing. Like the one below.

After some time the modem started giving problems, like I will be
using the internet and suddenly the wifi will go off or after I shutdown
and bring back my system it may not be able to recognize the wifi.
I will have to go to network preferences in mac and remove the preferred network
and connect again. And the internet connection was inconsistent for several weeks.

Hence, I took the modem to the beetel service center in thousand lights.
They said, since the firmware has been replaced, it would have affected the IC.
And sent the modem for repair. He said, even though it is under warranty it will
cost Rs.300/- to service the modem. The person at the service center was
very helpful. He gave a standby 450TC1 for me to use.

After about a week, he called me and said your 450TC2 is ready. I went
there with my laptop, phone. Tried accessing youtube with both the devices
with wifi. One of them worked and other didn't work. Informed about the
same to them. They replaced the firmware again, with a new firmware.
I think it is from beetel itself. Then I was able to access youtube with
both the devices.

After coming home, I checked the same again with multiple devices and it
started working. So far no issues. Hopefully it continues this way. Apart
from power and WLAN, DSL and internet lights started working. like the
one below.

Applied for Aadhaar card in Nesapakkam, Chennai

Recently I applied for the Aadhaar card. Just thought of sharing the experience here.

Our watchman said, the enrollment is happening at Chennai Higher Secondary School
in Nesapakkam which is close and I may have to get a token.

I went there and asked couple of people where it is located. They pointed me to a
room.

There were couple of people waiting before me. Once they are done, I had shown the
NPR receipt (which was given sometime in 2010). Here is a sample.

Since there are no one waiting, He gave me 2 options, to bring my family so that the
enrollment can be done the same day or come back on a designated date to get the token.

I called my wife to join me for the enrollment. Once she came, both of us went inside.

He checked my NPR receipt, took my photo, IRIS scan, finger prints, asked me to check
the name, address, mobile, email, data of birth details on the screen.

He also asked for some proof like PAN card, ration card, voter ID card etc. I had my
voter ID and he just checked it. Somehow I find there were in a sense of urgency to
complete the process, not sure why. Not able to read through the screen in quick
succession.

Then my wife took her photo, IRIS scan, finger prints. I was waiting in the bench.
Looks like he was asking my wife the same questions and verifying the details.

After that he gave us the printout of the enrollment details. Here is the sample.

After coming home, I was just going through the printout and found couple of spelling
mistakes, my wife mobile number/email id not updated properly.

Went back to the school and asked them to update the same. Here again he gave me 2 options

Since the Aadhaar number is not yet generated, we have to take the IRIS scan and finger
prints again to make those changes. If we make any changes before the Aadhaar number
is generated, he said it will take a very long time to get Aadhaar. not sure why.

The other option he gave is, wait for the arrival of Aadhaar number, then we can make
those changes ourselves. I settled with the second option and left home.
