How to find Service Number for TNEB Chennai Online Bill Payment?

You can now pay your electricity bills through the Tamilnadu Electricity Bill Payment Gateway. I had some confusion with the service number (aka consumer number) while registering in the portal. I thought I could share with you all how I managed to complete the registration.

The first time you enter the wrong invalid service number, the below error message will be displayed

TNEB Error Invalid Service No / Region
All you need is a little patience and check if you have selected the proper region from the drop-down menu.

TNEB Chennai Region Select Online Bill Payment
The first three characters of the service/consumer number is the section code that denotes your locality. You will find the code for your locality at the What is my Region? link at the TNEB Payment Gateway home page (also see useful links below). This will help you correlate the service number written on your white color EB Meter card or printed on previous payment receipts.

Now type in the exact service number in the service no textbox and if it is valid you will get the below message and also the consumer name and address will get auto-populated

Madharasapattinam - Tamil Film Review

Madharasapattinam Amy Jackson AryaI went to the movie Madharasapattinam with the expectations of an art film or a historic film but realized at the end of the movie that it was indeed a dainty love story. Set in pre-independent India, the plot has very little to do with India's freedom fight but basically tells us a tale of love between a British woman (Amy Jackson) and an Indian man (Aarya) as they struggle for their own freedom from the demons of the society. One should say that the film crew have succeeded big time in bringing the Madras of the 1940's back to life with compelling backdrops and nostalgic captures of ancient Chennai's lifestyle. Think we can pay no heed to the authenticity of the images or events portrayed in this film but simply enjoy the different experience of a romantic trip to the good old Madharasapattinam. The beautiful Amy Jackson has displayed a great deal of maturity in her acting and keeps us engaged in her charismatic screen presence. With Amy stealing the show, Aarya lends the perfect balance to the script with a clean show of fearless attitude and sporadic humor but one gets a feeling that he could have been more expressive in his rendering of romance. It was also good to see the late Hanifa, Nassar, Bala singh and M.S. Bhaskar all in one place.

The opening song "Meghame meghame" deserves a special mention not for its musical composition but for the awe-inspiring voice of MSV in the song. It was absolute magic to hear Melisai Mannar's voice in modern stereo sound systems. "Pookal pookum" and "Vaama Dhuraiyamma" have a pleasing effect on the ear drums. The movie did dip and stagnate at times but its worth a trip to Madharasapattinam for a special experience.

Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya - Tamil Film Review

VinnaiThandi Varuvaaya Simbu Trisha SareeVinnai Thandi Varuvaaya is a subtle romantic movie with a throbbing thesis underneath. Vinnai Thandi Varuvaaya is a film about the love between a Hindu boy (Karthik) and a Christian girl (Jessy) who is 1 year elder than the boy. Karthik who wants to be a film director falls in love with Jessy who is a software employee. Jessy is unwilling in the beginning but later accepts his love. Their love travels through the twists and turns of the conventional social impediments in both the families. Karthik is passionate about his love but Jessy is susceptible to her own premonitory fears. The battle between Karthik's resolve and Jessy's bewilderment comes to a stalemate setting up a vacillating journey towards a melancholic finish.

Trisha impresses with her graceful appearance and has delivered a neat performance. Simbu is lucid in his acting and carries a poignant flavor in his character. ARR's music is good and the camera work is commendable but the choreography was a bit predictable. On the whole Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya is a feel good movie that leaves us with a burden of grief deep inside.

Christmas around the corner

This is just that part of the year when it snows heavily and its vacation time for everyone to relax and spend some time with their family. After a historical financial meltdown and a cheerless recession period things are finally getting a move now and the signs of recovery are obvious. We had some cool discount offers for Black Friday and Cyber Monday from the retailers last month and we had a good time purchasing our desired articles. The number of job cuts and salary reductions have subdued and we are expecting the economy to stabilize sooner than later. Now its time for us to celebrate Christmas and we need to make it big. Lets put behind all our worries and financial tragedies we had experienced so far and wipe out the scars of the evil by celebrating Christmas and seeking the blessings of God. Wish you all a Merry Christmas!
