My Airtel App - The one ‘must-have’ App for every Airtel user

The new My airtel app is a necessity for everyone who has an airtel product. Especially when airtel has such wide variety of products like Broadband, DTH and prepaid/postpaid connections. Nowadays all the transactions are happening through mobile. Mobiles phones are like our third hand. We just can’t live without them. Most of the times, we download lot of apps on our phones, but rarely open any of them. But, this airtel app has changed the experience of using the airtel products and also the way we use the apps on our phones.
I have a DTH, a broadband with a fixed line connection at home. Every time I have to check the usage or recharge my DTH, or pay the postpaid bill for the broadband/fixed line, I have to go to airtel website and pay the bill. Most of the times, I would forget to pay the bill or would be unaware when the DTH has to be recharged, and will have a difficult time. Especially when I have to pay the bill online. There was a time, when all of us were happy with the online payment. We did not have to go stand in the queues to pay. Now, the time has changed us so much that we are lazy to open the website to pay the bills. With multiple bills, we have to remember all the bill amounts. We have to keep the mails with bill summary safe to pay the bill at the later stage.
All these changed when I downloaded the My Airtel App. I now have everything at my fingertips. I no longer have to save the emails. The feature of the Airtel app I like the most is that it keeps all the bills at one place. I don’t have to log on to multiple sites. With just entering my mobile number, I could access all the airtel devices at one place. All the devices are displayed when the app is opened. When I click on the device I want, I can view the bill summary, usage details and the status of the requests/complaints if any. This organization helps me manage my airtel bills easy.
The second feature I like in the airtel app is that, I can add my most favorite action in the ‘I want to’ section. And I can add other products of airtel in the same location. Most of the times, one person ends up paying the bills of others. To make the bill payment experience easy, airtel has introduced this add product section. I can add the airtel mobile numbers of my family and can pay the bills easily. Everything is organized at one place. I don’t have to waste my time going through all the mails to get the exact bill to pay.
The most important thing in the My Airtel App is that it is extremely user friendly. I just have to enter my mobile number, and there the app collects all the devices registered with this mobile number. And the overall experience with the app is very good and user friendly. It has become a ‘must-have’ app.

3 things that “ek nayi league” can turn out to be

KAPIL DEV has come up with a new set of videos in which he is advising various celebrities not to play ‘this’ game with heart because if they do so they will certainly be out hit wicket. Now question arise what is this particular thing that KAPIL DEV is talking about. Here is what I think are the 3 things this “ek nayi league” can turn out to be.
1. A quiz show-  Quiz shows have always been loved in Indian television especially if there is some celebrity conducting it. From Bournvita Quiz contest hosted by Derek O’Brian, ESPN school quiz hosted by Harsha Bhogle, Jeeto Chappad Phad ke hosted by Govinda, Sawaal 7 crore ka hosted by Anupam Kher,Kya aap paanchvi paas hain hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, khul ja simsim hosted by Aman Verma to our very favourite Kaun Banega Crorepati hosted by Amitabh Bacchan, quiz shows have always been a special event on national TV. Bring some new concept, a popular host and a lot of prize money and voila!! a new  and popular quiz show is ready.
Since we have KAPIL DEV as host so it possible that this show might be a sports related quiz show. But you never know it can turn out to be a bollywood quiz or a history quiz. Life is unpredictable you see !!
2. A reality show on Star-  Yes ! this campaign may very well turn out to be a reality show like a big boss on star. Star is known for such creative campaigns and they can very well come up with a reality show. But the catch is KAPIL DEV always telling- don’t play this game with your heart, play it with your mind. So the question arise, if it is going to be a reality show like big boss, why do contestants need brain any way. At least I have not seen a lot of brain work in shows like this.
3. A cricket show-  Isn’t this choice the most obvious one? You see KAPIL DEV and you say- hey ! its got to be a cricket based show. And many a times the obvious answers are the right answers. So it can definitely be a cricket based show. Based on the current trends I think it can be something related to fantasy league where in each participants will have to pick a team of their own based on certain restrictions and constraints on virtual money cost of each player, team composition etc. Fantasy leagues are very popular during IPL  and a fantasy league program on TV is certainly an idea worth trying. The earliest such example was Super selector which was very famous. So who knows this “ek nayi league” might be a revival of old super selector.
