This is the power of Reliance...

This happened when me and my friend went to a cobbler guy near Swastik char raasta to get a bag repaired. This guy.. out of all his paraphernalia.. also has a Reliance Mobile phone.. Thats the power of Reliance...

Mera Bharat Mahan...

I found this wonderful Indian Flag at our hostel. It had been up all day on the Independence day. And really love it.. Thanks to the guy.. Who ever it was...

Another instance of Bad Bazaar !!!

There has already been a post which talks about Big Bazaar. Here;s another instance at the Big Bazaar, ISKCON.

Here's a bed which they were selling. The top piece of one of the legs has come out. Some one has neatly put it on the bed. Just imagine what quality of products they are selling. And after some time I could not even find even that piece. Obviously some naughty kid has taken it home to play...

Hope Reliance is a better alternative to this crap!

Bigbazaar ... Badbazaar...

I had gone to BigBazar two days ago to get a couple of biscuit packets. I had been the queue of billing for the longest time ever. I had just three things with me. So I moved to the counter which bills "Less than 10 items" counter. But the guy there was utter slow in his work. Also there were people who would come from behind - I guess people who know him personally. They would get priority and get their items billed first when we all were waiting in the long queue. One guy from the queue shouted at the counter guy to work fast. And then came the shift change. Does it need to be done at that time only (It was around 5:30PM)?? When the number of customers waiting for billing are at the peak?

The old guy leaves - taking all the change and logging off the system. Then the new guy comes in. He logs in and then puts on the change he has been given into the cash box. Then he starts out slowly. It took me at least 20 minutes to get 3 items billed.

And I do not know what the manager of the store was doing? I guess he is least bothered as to how the customers feel. Pantaloons has not been able to set this right even after being in business for the past couple of years (Or I guess more?).

And the quality of goods at BigBazaar?? They are bad.. You can go to shop only branded or FMCG goods - the ones which are packed and which have an MRP on them. On all other things, BigBazaar loots the public. All are usually low quality items. So at the price they sell you feel you are getting a good deal. But after you use them, you will get to know that they are not even worth may be half the price.

I had to got to BigBazaar as it is the only consumer goods shop close to me - near ISKCON temple.

But the next time, I will try to avoid it as much as possible.. You also try it out..

Tatas are the champions again...

Tatas won over and bid higher than CSN.. They atlast won the Corus deal.. I am really proud of it.. Indians entering into global market.. This is damn cool..

Convoy ....

I got down at Gota, 4Km from my University to catch a connecting Chagada. I saw four police men at the crossroads which is usually jam packed with vehicles.. They were holding the traffic from all sides... Asking the vehicles not to cross the road.. and neither were they allowing people to cross.. Infact.. They had asked 3-4 people who had crossed halfway to go back to the other side..

Then one of the police guy at the centre of the crossroad said "Let them go..".. The one at the side said.. "Pagal ho gaya hai kya? Sir ka call aaya tha.. Woh aa hi rahe hai.." (Are you mad? Sir had called up to say that they are on the way).. And then a minute later.. you can hear the sounds of the police.. I thought it was the CM going back home.. But then what followed was a series of 10 - 12 Ambassador cars with police jeeps in between.. then two ambulances blaring the siren.. Then a mini fire fighter vehicle.. And then a jeep..

After that, I asked the police guy.. whose convoy was it anyway.. It said.. "Whose convoy?.. Its the Vice President.."

Hmm.. So much for him.. Otherwise you will never find even one police guy at Gota.. You will not be able to cross the road for 10 minutes at peak time..

School Chale Hum !!!

Atlast I found the video on YouTube too.. School chale hum.. From Bharatbala Productions.. About the video from the horse's mouth...

"192 million children between 6-14 years of age across 1.1 million places in India are not going to school. This film for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (Universilisation of elementary Education) addresses the needs of these children. The film catches the moment when children all across India from Kashmir to Kerala wake up in the morning and run to go to school."

India ...

India.. The very name.. makes you feel good. What ever may be the cons associated with it.. The pros outweigh the cons.. Although it has a lot of corruption (rated very high on corruption by some International surveys..).. It still has got a lot more good people.. he continuous fight between the good people and the corrupted has led to miserable lives of the middle people..

I strongly believe that India will become a super power in the near future.. I mean next 10-20 years... And I believe its the youth of India who are going to make this change.. I have seen the some youngsters talking the other ways too.. But there are also people who want to make a change.. who want to improve India.. to better India.. And they will over ride the other junk of people.. India is going to be the hub for everything.. Its going to get its lost glory.. again.. to be on the top of this world..

So any guy/gal.. young/old... put a small effort to make India - and subsequently world - a better place to live in.. so the next generation gets a chance to live a better and peaceful life to live in..

Every person has some basic needs.. Roti, Kapda, Makan.. (food, clothes and shelter).. As the world has progressed, we have moved on to include more things into our basic needs.. like communication.. But all those people in Mercs and chartered flights and BMWs etc.. They can easily cut down their luxuries and donate the rest to the poor.. I am not asking them to donate everything ans come on to the roads - but one can forgo some luxuries.. A car is used to travel.. and u can say to some extent.. travel comfortably.. So u can but a mid sized car.. say an Optra.. adn it would be fine.. Why a Merc?? For the brand?? So you are pouring out money for some name uhh?? rather why cant be put to a good use.. why cant the difference in the price of Merc and Optra (say around 15 - 17 Lakh rupees).. be donated to some NGO.. I would prefer GiveIndia.. (www.giveindia.org)..

The basic need to travel in a car is satisfied by both Optra and a Merc.. so why not opt for the Optra and help some other people?? This might be socialist view.. But its a socialist society in a democratic society.. People getting the "Basics of their luxuries" and then leave the rest to the other not so privileged people.. This would create an almost uniform society.. And an almost equal opportunity for others to grow..

Everybody needs to be a philanthropist.. So that the value you create is uniformly distributed over the humanity and the whole of humanity advances as a whole.. If this would have been followed by the great British (I take their example as they controlled a large part of the world some time before).. The world would have been a better place to live.. including Africa and Asia.. They had a great opportunity to mold the world.. But they could not utilize it effective.. Thats why I say.. at least for India.. If India needs to progress in a much better way.. It will need a dictator.. A "good" dictator.. One who knows would follow the path of righteousness and force the others to follow the same.. Nobody except the bad people would object him.. and to take a stern action against the bad is also right. So the evil needs to eliminated.. and the res left out is good.. Then we have a better place to live in..


Thats too long a blog for me.. Do not know whether anybody any time will read this... But anybody reading this.. I would like to know your comments.. This is not impossible.. but may it is time taking.. think abt it..
