Indian Retail World

First of All I am writing this stuffs totally based on my experiences :P

The Retail in India – The System have Life in it and it doesn’t mean spending money to unknown seller.

Tea Shop: The Tea Shops are Souls of India and they are found everywhere and in each Street of India. Almost all the People go to tea shop for a cup of tea and other items sold here include butter biscuit, cigars, bajji, bonda, samosa. People working in Office usually maintain a friendly relationship with the Local Tea Seller and enjoys a cup of tea and samosa with co-workers.


Grocery Shopping: Family buy from Individual Retail Guys shop or from a local Super Market.The Shopping is done usually in the First Week of the Month in Credit or Account and the Payment is usually made the Next Month.Suppose they are in need of vegetable or some Grocery like Salt or Sugar,then they send the Boy Child in the family to buy from the corner street shop. People living as bachelors like me follow shifts one by one per roommate

Apparel Shopping: The Cloths are bought only during festival times such as Diwali, Durga Puja where the Shops offer discounts. Other Times the sales are low or moderate. People are not interested to wear quality clothes as they stay usually in Home while back from Office. There are a few Outings or Tour and many times going to relative marriage is the Outing to the family. Woman usually try to wear the Best collection they have during these times.

Indian Retail Gaints: The Small Individual Seller Shop are mostly shopped by people compared to retail multiplex and Branded Shops. Recently the Business magnets turn to concentrate on retailing and continue to expand their Brands in different cities. The Retail gaints in India include Pantaloon-Big Bazaar, Relaince-Reliance Mart,Relaince Fresh,Tata-Landmark, Titan,WestLand,Indian Oil-Bunk. Some Comparatively Small Players include Birla-More,Nilgiris,UniverCell Mobiles,Hotel Saravanaa Bhavan.


Outside Players: International Sellers such as Bata,McDonalds, KFC, Reebok, Colors of Benetton,Louis Phillipe are popular in India. Rich People may Shop at these Brands and other middle class and poor people usually avoid them and sometime may try to have a look into the shop and come back. A Few Middle class would buy just for the Brand Name While some of them just because they have good discounts

Lie Targets

A man was sleeping in his House. Suddenly YamaRaj, the Kill God appeared before him and said , "Go Out and Enjoy your Life and Nothing will happen to you. Why are you sleeping and wasting your time".



Feeling Happy he ran over with excitement and met with an accident.


[Interval]



In Heaven:



He shouted, Why the Hell you Lied to me and See now I met with accident and I am here.



Yama coolly replied, "Sorry Yar. Month End Pressure and I have to achieve my Target".



[In Business, If there is Target,there definitely got be a Lie]



Return To Nandi Hills

One week ago after I came back to Bangalore after having a long and boring vacation I called for a meet with my old friends and some new ones joined us as well. One of the very new member Mahima who wanted to visit places asked for our suggestions and ultimately after a lot of discussions we fixed our next week plan for Nandi Hills which is almost 80 KMs from my place. It was decided that we will go by bike and will start out journey 3:00 AM in morning.
Soon the week passed and came the Day next to which I were supposed to start our Journey . Angel’s Friend Debashree and one more already cancelled their plans. Mahima Bunked her office 3rd time in the week and I was busy celebrating Friendship week meeting Amarjeet and later Neha the same Saturday. Me being whole Saturday didn’t had a chance to sleep for a single minute. Since Mahima bunked her office the same day I advised her to go to Angel’s place and after that I came to know that Angel was not well . Soon after I came to know that one more friend of ours Vivek met with an accident . I was supposed to be on his bike during journey. Abi was busy and he was not picking up my call. Comming back I got a feeling that this trip is going to be cancelled.

After 10:00 PM the real action began. Abi asked me to get a bike from my friend and a friend of his will drive it ( My driving skills are becoming famous ) I got a bike from a friend of mine at 11:00 and while going to filling station I bumped it into a car which was already predicted by Angel. After this bump I found that the chain of my bike is not moving properly but I left it rambharose . Mahima instructed to take a helmet and raincoat as instructed by her didi . I got both of them

It was already 12:00 AM . I saw Angel and Mahima online so I thought that we will start sharp at 3:00 AM. Mahima Wanted to take a nap so she left gtalk and so did Angel . I was so excited that I didn’t slept at all. At 3:00 AM sharp I called Abi he woke up and asked me to call at Angel’s place and get everyone awake. It started from 3:15 AM I started Calling Angel and Mahima but they seemed to be sleeping as they haven’t slept from ages, This continued till 4:30 ultimately I cursed myself and thought that plan is cancelled. After an hour or so I received a call from Angel and then Abi and asked me to get ready as they will start in half an hour. I took my bike and went to a place where I was told to wait for them

After half an hour the gang arrived , Angel was looking like some Lady terrorist from the movie Lamaha and Mahima was in her tomboy look, though I didn’t wasted much time on getup of guys but most of them were in heavy jackets which I always desire for. For a while I got confused as I thought that my bike is not needed. We moved forward and stopped at a small hotel to have puri bhaji . The puris were as hard as papad . The Amount of Puri Angel had made me sure that with a complete puri she can survive for whole month. This was the spot from where photo session began.

The Road tempted everyone to increase their speeds and in the process Abi got caught by the interceptor and was fined. That was a real LOL moment. Abi’s Bike was at 108 speed and Niranjan bhaiya just saw the interceptor and slowed his bike as a result Abi got caught but was fined only a 100, My Bike had its chain misplaced so there was no chance of speeding it. In the way we saw many Racing bikes and a cruiser as well . Niranjan bhaiya and Another Abhishek bhaiya who was on my bike have a great knowledge about bikes. I simply loved the journey . At places we used to stop to take pics take some rest and then start again. When we started nearing Nandi Hills the Road was not like that highway was. At a place when we stopped to take pics we saw a Ducati in its racing speed passing by us.
When we arrived Nandi Hills it was already too late to see the Sunrise so we satisfied ourselves with the complete sun. We roamed around the place and Mahima again gave a little lecture on how to behave with girls online and also complained about my taunts. For the first time I came to know that Angel loves monkeys.Niranjan Bhaiya is always good at sarcasm and Abi was checking out girls everywhere. Though we thought ourselves to be the most late people there but we saw others too. A group was out there with entire sports gear like Badminton, cricket and football as well and we were wondering that how would be the six. We later made plans about Wonder’la and other places hope we visit them soon
While Returning we faced rain at places which used to come and go at times, Finally we had our lunch at a Dhaba Restaurant where we kept pulling Abi’s leg on topic of his GFs.Abi like a celeb kept denying all of them but since his collagemates were there all well we all came to know many things about this flirt as well.I never understand what Mahima and Angel keep talking in each other ears
Though late all of us enjoyed too much . Had a lot of fun and and a lot of laugh. Though they are my online friends but I always feel them life a part of my life since ages .Love you all a lot and thanks for this wonderful experiences

Others thanks for bearing all the typos :o

The Bengaluru Dog Menace

Once upon a time Bengaluru was known as the garden city. Garden’s are still their but no one visits them because a bunch of dog is always there to welcome the visitors. Who says Bengaluru doesn’t have a night life. Even that we people don’t get to enjoy them but the dogs enjoy them very well. If you don’t believe just visit my place and I will give you a tour of doggy land and you might get to see their party also. They say Delhi is not safe for women especially at night We Bangalorians are lucky in here. Thanks to these dogs that even criminals fear to move alone at night. The first and the last time I dared to do this was when I left my friend’s flat which is just 10 min walk from my flat and in that 10 min walk I was surrounded with at least 15 dogs. They were moving like my bodyguards two in my right two in left rest were either ahead of me or behind my ass.I simply walked calmly and slowly don’t know how and as I reached my flat I just ran into toilet. Still this was a simple incident with me where nothing happened to me but in many case people get bitten some even are attacked brutally and despite knowledge of stray dogs are active in the particular areas of Bengaluru administration does nothing.Dont know if there is some political pressure like if dogs help in solving political disputes or something. Even it is not of any interest for animal right organisations, they had only become active when dogs killed a 3 months old child and then the residents killed all the dogs of that area. If we Bengalorians don’t have any night life why should dogs have? Or may be it is some hidden conspiracy by moral police so that people don’t move outside in night and thus Indian culture could be saved
