Charged Services
February 14, 2014 3 Comments
My purpose in writing this blog is to compile useful information in one place,so that readers can help themselves.
Recently,I have noticed a spate of personal queries from people who don’t seem to have taken the trouble to read my posts,much less the previous queries or my replies to them or do a simple search using the search box at the top of the blog.I find that answering these personal queries takes up a good amount of my free time.So,I have decided to make some services charged.
Henceforth,to answer personal queries of an esoteric nature will cost readers Rs 100/$2 per query and property related queries will cost Rs 500/$10.Payments are to be made in advance to my paypal account keerthikasingaravel@yahoo.co.in
However,in case of genuine distress I am quite willing to overlook payments.Also,all currently pending queries will be done for free.

The Duchess Of Cambridge is wearing the famous Nizam Of Hyderabad necklace
The Nizam of Hyderabad necklace was created by Cartier in the 1930s. It consists of a long chain of 38 diamonds (reduced from the original 46) with a diamond-encrusted snap. The centre of the necklace is pave-set with a detachable double-drop pendant of 13 emerald-cut diamonds and a pear-shaped drop.The original necklace consisted of eight double-drop and three triple-drop pendants. However, nine of the pendants (all eight double-drop and the larger of the triple-drop pendants) were later removed and sold separately.
The Nizam of Hyderabad was once the owner of one of the most celebrated and largest private jewellery collections in the world.When queen Elizabeth got married in 1947,the Nizam was not in London,but he left Cartier instructions that the she would personally choose her present.A demi-parure of a tiara and this necklace was the Queen’s own choice.
The Queen has worn the Nizam of Hyderabad necklace through her life, although more often in her youth. This is also one of her favourite necklaces to don when she is posing for portraits.

Family marriages are a big deal for India’s well to do.If you’ve got a company to buy or sell to a foreign business entity, get the potential buyer/seller to attend your big family shaadi………
In 2011, GVK’s Sanjay Reddy invited billionaire Aussie mining heiress Gina Rinehart to attend his daughter’s big bash wedding ,just ahead of closing a mega deal with her Down Under. Rinehart in fact flew in Aussie MPs in her private jet for a sumptuous three-day ceremony in Hyderabad.
Recently, Manoj Gaur invited TAQA top brass for his son’s wedding in the Capital. And they did oblige, flying in from their Abu Dhabi headquarters. TAQA and Gaur are in serious conversation to buy out Jaypee’s hydro plants in Himachal – a multi-billion transaction, if it happens. TAQA bosses were treated as special guests, introduced to family, friends and lenders – lenders to Jaypee, that is.
