Words Of The World

I just had a situation. I was browsing an e-commerce portal and found a nice deal. I entered my debit card number. Wolla! It just got declined. I am very sound on cash in my account. Just that the card was not yet activated for online transactions. And that is when the man of the moment, the messiah, the Personal banker heroes in. Hence, i got my deal. Ha Ha! Talking of E-commerce, have you realized the way whole buying behavior of the consumer has changed. May be, the buying behavior has changed because the buying procedure has changed. There were times when you browsed the collection in the retail stores and asked the price. You either proudly ordered  "Pack It" or to avoid the embarrassment, quite sheepishly you would say "I'll Just be back". I have had this great experience working with an E-commerce company post my post graduation. The concept then sounded new, exciting and very much enticing. Today the concept of Online selling and buying is ca...

Anybody who can answer this question in a convincing manner, wins respect and admiration from my end. I fail to understand why is it and what is it that Indians, Yes INDIANS in foreign lands are so law abiding and so into the limits. I have seen live examples whenever i am on an international tour. Be it Mauritius, Europe, Singapore, America or any other nation for that matter. Indians act so careful about the respective country's norms and regulations as if they are born, brought up and served by that country. My brain nerves bleed pain as they are unable to find a convincing answer to the same. Indians, when on international tours do not drop there cola glasses out of the window in the middle of the road. But here, they do mind putting that glass on a glass holder in there car instead of throwing it out on a busy street. Indians, when on tours in other countries do not drop the fruit left overs and other trash out of there coach's window in the middle of a busy...

     Today morning i were in my car driving down to some place for some work and Delhi rained good. When i say good, it stormed and the streets got water logged. Well it happens when ever it rains in Delhi. Forget Delhi, it happens in the biggest and the most developed of nations. So hey, i am not complaining. I am here to talk of something else. I usually keep my cars updated performance wise. I don't mind the seat covers being dirty, a pack of wafers or crunchy lying in some corner. Blame it on me or the men, we like our rooms shabby, so our cars. At least i do. But this beautiful morning, in the middle of a jam packed street , one of my car's wipers breaks creating a mess. I tend to avoid it and then another surprise, the engine heats up. I see smoke coming out of the bonnet and i don't know what to do. I start hoping for the best that could happen. And the best that could possibly happen is, when the car breaks down(God forbid if it does) it should b...

Today it's payback time. The good's and the bad's sowed all these years are reaping fruits today. The U.S. government faces a shutdown, for the next budget for 2014 fiscal year fails to gather confidence and approval from those in authority. I better not describe the after effects of the shutdown. America, the nation that acts an arbitrator to settle a dispute between two nations. Even if the two nations are not willing to settle, they better settle coming under the pressure of United States Of America. It's America, that enters and invades Iraq, in lieu of saving the citizens of Iraq. It's America, that plans to enter, invade and capture Syria (not visible enough to the people, more of behind-the-scenes act). It is America, who intervenes the nuclear power project of Iran strangling it's economy to death, by asking it's allies not to trade with Iran. Further Iran (one of the major Crude producers) refuses to export oil to other countrie...
