Shashi Tharoor has played a major role in Kerala getting an IPL team.

All information about KKR for IPL 2010 can be found there. Drop in your comments about the look of the new Kolkata Knight rider website here in this website.

KKR batted first and made a disastrous start by losing two wickets in the very first over, but they went on to make 161/4 with a brilliant batting performance by Owais shah(58) and Angelo Mathews(65).

DC started off well with Gilchrist with his class topped by luck. Soon after things changed. Good bowling changes by Ganguly made sure they got wickets at regular intervals. Great start to IPL 2010.

This year Shah Rukh Khan Kolkata Knight Riders would not be playing with the black golden combination jersey instead they have changed the jersey color of his IPL team from black to purple. Shah Rukh Khan took the decision after an astrologer advised him that black was unlucky for the team.

Here is the photograph of the new jersey.

Background

I got my Dell inspiron 1545 on May last before i moved back to bangalore to start my MBA life.I was pretty proud to have a dell (coz of the many reviews). I could find a lot of people in my MBA class having dell inspirons and studio.

The Present

i first saw the problem with a friends laptop. Where everything was fine till the login and after the login it get’s stuck at the welcome screen. Three weeks back i got up in the morning to find a internal hard disk error on the screen. I switched off and on again it seemed normal and the same thing happened as it got stuck in the welcome screen. I called my friend and asked for a solution and he said he went to a outside service center and reinstalled windows vista. I tried to install the same by putting my Dell Windows Vista re-installation cd, but it gave me a hard disk error. I dint want to lose the data. I called up Dell customer care, and they confirmed its a hard disk problem and they offered to replace my hard disk. I asked them would they help me with the data backup and they said sorry and i’ll have to do that myself. I searched google for data recovery in bangalore and came across web nirnaya. The place is in Jayanagar and at the expense of Rs 1400 (650 for re-installation + Rs 750 for data backup) i could get my system to work again.

The dell guys called me 4 days after and since i was through with my issue i said to close the call. Two weeks after this i got the same error. Bad lazy me still did not do a backup of the data and was stuck again with dilema. I called the Dell customer care service (bangalore local number) and again explained everything. They identified the error and also asked my Optical drive is working fine. I said im also having problems with it. They offered to replace both as both came under warrenty.

This time the customer service was quick and i got a call that day itself after 2 hours and confirmed that the Dell service executive will come the very next day. The next day the service guy was right on time, he was very friendly. I got my hard disk and optical drive replaced and the issue was resolved in an hours time with re-installation of Windows Vista.

In short Problem i have with my laptop and resolutions

• Hard Disk problem - resolved free of cost
• Optical drive - making noise and cd scratch - problem resolved with replacement free of cost.
• Missing “ALT Key” - un-resolved as i would have to replace my keyboard fully and it does come only under full warranty which is about 7k. The cost of keyboard is around Rs 2.3K+
• Broken side panel near to the mike. - un resolved.
  The side panels are so think and weak and any pressure applied on them, it would break. This is one common problem with dell inspirons and the side panel replacement comes at a cost of over Rs 1200.

Dell in short has a great customer service, but almost a major chunk of the people i know with inspirons are having my similar problems with additional battery and motherboard problems also. I really would love to see dell offering databack up also, as its a pain when ur dell crashes without any warning and the huge amounts companies charge to get back ur data ( i got my data retrieved for the second time from web nirnaya for Rs 400 which is cheap).
