Short Term Memory loss

The strength of Human Beings is their power to remember,things events and contents and the weakness of Human Beings is also the same,Our  ability to remember things ,which is the source of our constant thinking process and the initial spark of all troubles.
Memory retention is being focused as a prerequisite for growth,knowledge enhancement and for taking you forward,Various schools of thought are focusing on tuning your left brain   to make you smart on verbal communication skills and to tap you logical and analytic strength or by training the right brain which is cabable of being creative and artistic,we also keep pushing our kids for these classes, thinking that it would give them an edge over others if their memory skills are good.
Well all of us really enjoyed the Blockbuster "GHAJINI" where the HERO was descript as a medically ill person Diagnoised for short term Memory Loss.We could sympathize with him for his pathetic condition,But we rarely recollect that all of us  poccess' This short term memory loss.Really,you will agree with me,when I go a bit more Further and say that,our memory loss is turning into a goldmine for others for their spurning business and popularity.
Well still not clear?I guess all of us would be spending considerable time in front of the TV,AND WOULD DEFINITIVELY watch at least one or two reputed english News channels,Have you ever noticed that  the news item which is debated   in full form  today, becomes extinct,on the next day,It leaves no trace,For example on day suddenly all channels talk about sachins achievement,which gets replaced by highlights of ramdev like wise every day the topic keeps changing,we just go to bed carrying forward this, only to see that the next day its someother  x y or z,and we just forget about these top stories within 24 hours ,but never think about our short term memory loss.
Incidently I am prompted to narrate a small story,which I heard when I was young.Once there lived a family of three, A father,Mother and Son.The father and mother being illiterates wanted their son to be educated and grow up in strature.However the  SON was not interested in studies,not to dissapoint his parents,everyday he used to go to school,but take a diversion and spend his time chit chatting with others and return home predending as if he had been to School,But how long can such things hold water,A
test to his notoriousness came in the form of a telegram.As all other parents going tensed on receiving a telegram the mother was tensed too on receiving one. she handed it over to her son to read and convey the contents.The son who did not know how to read it, tossed it upside down a few times and started to cry,The mother guessed that the telegram contained some sad news and joined her crying son only to be joined by her husband.Seeing this the neighbours wanted to know what was the issue and one persons read ouut the telegram,which only said the ladies brother would be arriving shortly.
The boys behaviour came to light and the distressed parents decided ,enough is enough,and planned to get him married off So that atleast marriage would instill SOME responsibility.and He he was wedded to his relative's daughter.After a grand wedding the bride and bridegroom were invited to the in-law(girls)s house for the customary feast The guy was putting up a smart face to hide his ignorance And wanted to act smart,So when ever any delicacy was given to him,he was simply turning it down saying he did not like it,even without tasting them.
The mother in law was really worried and in an attempt to make him eat some thing she had prepared kozukatai(vinayakars favourite snack),when his wife carried it, as usual he said che chi i dont like such stuff take it away.However destiny was cruel, the fellow was sleeping adjacent to the grinder which was used to make the stuffing for the kozukattai,the smell of jaggery,cardomom and ingredients was simply spreading a devine smell,unable to contain himself he tried to taste the left over in the grinder and was really cursing himself for having missed eating them.
The next morning ,they were retutning back. while his wife took to a cart, he decided to walk the distance,but before taaking leave from his mother in law,he enquired what was the snack that was offered to him called,and she said it was kozukattai,Not to forget this name he kept walking the distance uttering,kozukzttai,kozukattai.......(Remember when we were young your mother would send you on an errand to buy e few things from the adjacent shop, and we used to cover the distance repeating the items what we had to get)Only to be intercepted by a small gutter which he had to cross,incidentally there was a stranger on the other side , who was also to cross over THE gutter and while crossing just to make it easier he uttered "HAI TERI BACHA" and jumped across and had a safe landing.Our freind too wanted to cross the gutter using the same technicqe ,so he too crossed it yelling "hai teri bacha" and landed safe,now the man was walking towards his house  uttering, hai teri batcha,hai teri batcha........( he had forgotten kozukattai)
(short term memory)landed home and was happy to see his wife already there.And like all other husbands,the moment he entered his house, he announced his wife that he wanted "hai teri bacha" for snacks, immediately.The poor wife said she doe not know any snack like that,but this man insisted that he should IMMEDIATELY have that snack,the more the wife denied that she did not knoe such an item,he got furious and started punching her,hearing this commotion the neighvbours came for her rescue and seeing her condition,exclaimed why have you beated her like this see her whole body is swollen up like kozukattai.
Hearing the word kozukattai again,the man knew what was the issue he said yeah thats it I want" kozukattai".
well the wife prepared kozukattai and their story continues on,but what was the essence is that we too are switching from one personality or topic to the other and forget what are our core issues one day we keep utterring corupuption,corupption....just to be replaced 2G,2G......adarsh,adarsh......poverty line,poverty ,Tsunami    swine flu..........elections,elections......AND AS A WHOLE THIS SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS OF OURS IS TURNING INTO ADVANTAGE TO OUR DECSION MAKERS..WHO ARE ALSO CONVENIENTLY SWITCHING OVER FROM ONE ISSUE TO ANOTHER

SPORT(IVE) MANAGERS

Every dawn brings to us  a lot of Happiness and Apprehension, Happiness since we have yet another day to live,APREHENSION  fearing  HOW IT IS GOING TO END.Often we keep grumbling and accusing as follows.
Oh that fellow really played a nasty game
I should have known his moves, than I would have handled this situation better.
I should't have made that strike,
These are some of the sentences what we utter when we find ouselves on a losing ground.
and there are no schools to equip us to meet these challenges.Many times we keep asking our self.How Can we Handle our jobs better? well I guess yes We can become better ,Provided we too know some sport.And the rules of the games, which would make our life filled with success.

Reading every bit of stuff that appear on Dailies,Magazines and News papers,has become my cherished hobby. I invariably  spent lots of time when i see an Advertisement on the restuarants,My mouth starts watering just LOOKING   at the spread over there, spicy chickens,fried fish ,splendid Briyani(sorry veg folks)
than I move on to the next attractive  page ,which carries different sales on dress material/accessories,hand bags cosmetics,andi start   imagining how it would look had I been the person owning it, A thousad cat walks and imaginary peeps into the mirror flashes before I skip to the next Item,Mobiles,various models with Different EMI(at timesI think why this emi should not be the price of this item, very very greedy)Than, comes shoes/toys, chappals etc. Not to miss I spend considerable amount of time into the orbituary page, sympathizing for the lost souls, feeling more pity and miserable if the person dead is younger than  Me,Trying to appreciate the love what they would have given, to deserve such fond rememberance.Well when you can see I give equal importance to any stuff that appears-on the papers,You should have also guessed that I would have devoted some time on the jobs/wanted colourms and did a small Analysis what various companies and corporates are looking for in Prospective candidates,who are  to lead them to Excellence at Managerial levels.

well the First attribute required was a mentioned as sound Education, that too with extraordinary ,grades,skill communication skills, age and experience, etc are indicated but rarely no one wants to know whether you have any intrest in sports and what are the games that you play(unless its a sports quota recuritement)
It might not be out of place to state that Generally people who have a proffesional edge in sports ,do not fair very well in academics,Hence most of the Managerial slots are occupied with people of excellence academically but with little exposure to sports.Because kindly look down whats required from all of us in an organisation.
Participation:Every company feels that each one of us have to be in the game participating,and not as fence sitters ,watching others play,hence the first attribute is to have a person who can willingly come forward and participate
Targets&Goals:Every organisation Moves forward  is an attempt to achieve its target and goal,and in turn this is transfered as individual targets and goals,Individuals failure to recognise targets and the lacking in spirit to chase the set target leads to the under performance of the organisation(every one in any org should feel that he has to run those extra runs to achieve sucess).
Team work&Spirit:Many times we tend to be spending much of our time trying to resolve, conflicts arising within a team between  two individual ego ,who are good individually but fail as a team.HAD THEY had knowledge of some games they would understand that No game is won by individual efforts, but only thro collective contributions.
Sucess/win:Every company/corporate would always  like to suceed in all their endevours this is the spirit what has to be in all of us no one is born to fail,so also you do not start participating in a game thinking you would lose, so let us play our roles with a positive punch.
Strategy: success comes not only with expertise and hard work it also requires correct strategy,do not run when you have to walk,do not make all your options known to every one,reserve some thing to surprise your boss and team mates.
Planning&Prediction:we should be aware that Many games are simultaneously played around us,some times we are playing along with them ,and at times we are used as coins for other peoples games, hence always plan and be ahead with at least three or four moves,Keep predicting in advance and play defense when required.
Well these are just a few jargon's used in daily life,and at times we feel we are into a losing battle,only because we fail to know the rules of the games that is being played,hence in my perception, The first attribute that any Manager should have is to be a sportsmen(of course you can sportively take missed challenges too).
Well you can also Recollect that Most of the business magnets,spend lot of time relaxing and cooling their heels playing one sport or other,But little do we know that they are taking their training classes,formulating their sucess strategy

AN INSIGHT ON "PETERS(PEOPLES)PRINCIPLE"

Every one of us,start our life, like any one else,we crawl at 6 months,stand at 10 months,speak when we are one year old and follow a set pattern,and we call them mile stones ,and as time march past miles ahead we turn back to see that we are no more the same people with similar milestones, some have surpassed us ,while certain people,are staggering  finding some means to become a sucess
Even within an organisation, we find that people with like qualifications and similar intelligent quotient, perform differently,ever wondered what could be the reasons?why we have climbed the ladder up, while some one is still  stuckdown in an hierarchy .or vice verse.
I was recently reading a book by Dr.Lawerance J.peter and Raymond Hull,where he has also been perturbed about this major issue "Why thingSsalways go wrong "made a wide study on various items of issues in an Hierarchy and formulated his theory THE PETER PRINCIPLE.
Well the high lights of his theory are just produced below for the knowledge enhancement of every one.:
In a hierarchy every employee tends to Rise to his level of incompetence
That is every employee would be considered for promotion to the next level,,till such time that he reaches INCOMPETENCY.,SO IF ANY ONE IS STRUCK at the level of PEON,AND NOT considered for further promotion as a clerk.,he has reached his level of incompetence, so it goes,for a teacher to headmaster/principal/manager to gen. manager,Asst director to director, MD TO CMD,Further it may so happen that every one in that particular organisation would have attained the level of incompetence.and what ever little the organisation,is doing might be due to a few competent people still available. well we can relate this to our real life stories in our field of work .and Smile at what Peter has said.
Well even though the book deals with a vast serious issues which we encounter day in and day out. here was some very interesting observation made by the Author,which goes as follows,If we start plotting the profile of our staff in ant organisation, the distribution would,turn out as a bell curve ,where a major portion of the people would fall within the range of average competence,beyond this we have people distributed on either side as in competent and competent, Further beyond you have  a special group super incompetent and super competent(Pl see the fig done for your benefit)
Inference and practicality of the data
It is widely believed that bosses are not very comfortable working with these two category of people,and are more comfortable with the average competent ones.
the COMPETENT and incompetent people have  possibilities of getting fired and removed from the hierarchy's, However chances of a competent person getting remover/fired is much higher than an incompetent person getting fired, because bosses prefer incompetent persons,better than competent ones
Both super incompetent and super competent are not liked by the bosses and both of them stand great chances to be fired, and surprisingly both of them have equal chances to be removed unlike the upper model where,the in competent has a better chance of survival.
Well now go back to the hierarchy what you hold,now think about your chances of moving up(oh! you are still competent all the best and good luck).Also be prepared for being pushed out of the chain you see you are competent
If you have NO more levels to migrate, feel happy you have reached your level of incompetence,but you are still a preferred lot because of the logic stated above.
But the most important thing for all of us(including me) is to ensure that we get always plotted within the Average competent  range,see it is the safest parking lot for a peaceful career,And let us really thank Peter for this wonderful enlightenment

PARENTING??? PAMMPERING!!!

I have been thinking about parenting and brining up children for quite some time .And often confused about what good parenting means?,and it remains  a riddle, like the chick and egg, not knowing  which prompts what ,well guessing ?yes its just a process to asses whether all good parents groom good children, And whether all good children have wonderful parents .what  attributes define  parents as good and bad and what bench marks have to be drawn to adjudge a child as good/ bad.
Well let us see a few cases which have made headlines in the recent days,which can give us some glimpses of the topic under discussion
Case 1: A student of class 9 has stabbed his lady class teacher to death in the school premises,enraged since the teacher wanted to discuss his performance with his parents,what was more amusing is that this happened in a very conservative and cultured city like chennai.and not in any rural or ultra modern city.
Secondly it has happened in a private institution,unlike any government school,which we normally,relate to be a haven for all such misdeeds.
Third the boy was supposed to be a well pampered child at home,which defies the normal conclusion that he was a attention deprived child,and hence under depression..
Case 2 well the same news paper carried a cute looking boy's photo of standard XI,who had committed suicidesince he could not meet his parents expectation academically.
Here too the boy was studying in a institute of repute, parents were slightly critical on his performance,and the incident happened in chennai city .
Case 3 Competing with the above two news,here was yet another suicide of a girl of class IX  jumping from her terrace who scumbeled eled to injuries and this tim it was rather a very silly reason,she had a disagreement with her girl friends? and here too the school was a good one.
well all the three incidence are of equal concern ,because three valuable human life has been lost /robbed.But, while the first incident created a flutter,debate and sympathy the other two incident just lost its sheen,because of their merits.
Following the incident at case 1 lots of issues are being debated,And a complete astro/social/economical analysis has been made to find out, what could be the triggering rage that would have made a boy to commit a crime of this magnitude?
And the first reaction comming forth from public/ media was that The boy was a very very pampered boy by his parents,so is pampering and showing excess love and attention a negative attribute?which can  make people,mad?The next reason was that the teacher was critical on his performance,which required his parents  attention,and asked the boy to bring along his parent,the boy felt insulted ,demoralised with the class teachers initiative to correct him, But this is the mildest action what the teacher could do,which cannot be said to be wrong.The teacher was performing her job assigned well within the ambit, But why such a irrational response from the child for some rational actions.
well if we believe it was  due to excess  pampering and wrong parenting(failure  on the part of parents to imbibe good values,stress  goodness and better behaviour, to weigh pros and cons for any action and wrong parenting)or Due to excessive pressure from the school/teacher
If so is there any method to rationalize and say this much of pampering and this percentile of strictness if exercised than perhaps these children  would have grown  UP with a much better attitude?
well this just made me to think back on my childhood,where our parents never had any reservations in using the stick and kept piling up their abuses,when ever they felt my academic performance or conduct was not up to the mark.But we never turned into such aggressive beings Further with the number of children being more than 2 in each house, Personalised attention was very rare,which kept shifting to the youngest,and the eldest were added with the responsibility of taking care of young ones.

While this was the scene at home,we were not spared at school too,Teachers had all types of liberty to infuse discipline and to make children fall in line with academic requirements.No parent had the nerve to question any teacher against any corporal punishment or punitive methods used, in fact THE PARENTS left the job of moulding their children to the teachers.So it is an integrated effort of both parents and teachers to turn a child into a good child.

This principle has been accepted by me in bringing up my children,with an addition that they have to bear the brunt when ever i am in a foul mood following,a bad day in office.And of course having a cynical pleasure that Iam passing on,a portion of what I have received.But they have taken this correction in the good spirits, Because there has been a reasonable quota of strictness shown right from the beginning
But than every child is unique and every parent is unique too,we really do not have,any defined results or algorithms, which can be documented and said this is the best way of bringing up a child.But as quoted by Roger lewin "'we too often give children answers to remember ,rather than problems to solve" which is one reason  for such news ITEMS  to creep . and We  feel happy that our children are not like the ones stated above , which gives you a pep of a GREAT PARENT .

"online services" a bane!!....

Tomorrow even though I have a series of activities to do on my scheduler.I have fixed up that I will not handle, any thing else before I first book a railway ticket using the online sevice.

Well the time ticked 8.am and I was one amongst the many people who had logged on to the site to reserve a ticket on the tatkal quota.Hitting the site button I was sitting with expectation and. anxiety and praying my luck(for a ticket ultimately)but to get started with at least the login window, should open, after a long wait, my first level of computer game started, you see the rules for this game is too stringent It has every possibility to throw you out, on one pretext or other, so beyond expertise, luck is very very important, and after each,(level) wait, when I was proceeding to the next level, I was excited that I am going to successfully seal the deal.

well this is when some stupid message appeared saying I had hit a wrong button and hence my attempt is terminated, So I was again at the base waiting for the log in window, and this game of excitement and anxiety continued. where every time after 15 to 20 min I was logging on with reduced chances of securing a ticket, because the availability was c0ming down 58 to -8(waitlist).This is when I was reminded about the entertaining snake and ladder game which we used to play at our young ages, getting excited when ever you found a ladder only to be met with snake and sliding down, which coincided  with the Railway  reservation system.

Incidentally I was also amazed how I was literally used by the railways, to do their job of issuing a ticket for me, by making use of me as their staff, using my resources of computer, internet, mobile facility and taking away my productive time of an hour to just meet my demand of getting a ticket. And in this process the service provider for internet service has got his share of business, the credit card fellow has earned his charges and the railways have taken their charges, for no service renderded   by them except for providing an access to their server,( which means ultimately I have been indirectly made to pay much more, than the ticket cost, which has gone in as indirect gain for others(broad band charges,mobile charges,stationary,electricity,etc,etc).

Lets see how this system would have worked had I been to a manual counter, I would have been into a queue, made use of stationary of railway, used the services of their staff, computer and other resources and demanded other facilities like a seat to rest water in case of thirst, ventilation and air/fan and any other thing deemed to make a customer comfortable and happy. and beyond that would have had the right to express,my displeasure when the service delivery was not to expected level .And WOULD have  accomplished this job in no time.,My only inconvenience would have been to reach the nearest booking counter/or depute any one with this job, bearing a transportation charge, and the rest would have been borne by railways.

Taking a very cynical look, you would observe during this  period of time, irrespective of your status(employed/unemployed/studying).you have been either been reduced in status  or elevated in status and occupied the position of a booking clerk/computer operator.

Not only in the case of Railway reservation service,ANY OTHER ONLINE SEVICE, SUCH AS BANKING ,booking your air ticket,etc.etc  the story is the same.who are using this trump card of easy, instantaneous, hassle free ,service slogan and making us to  slog , to reduce their operational cost, maximize profits.

To conclude, I was reading a book, Rich dad Poor dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki,where he had quoted that “I don’t work for money!” “Money works for me”And if every person learns the knacks of making money work for them, instead of working hard to make money.richness and abundance would follow.So this is what is followed by these companies which is pushing them towards profits.And we are the innocent people working for them to make money

"Money value"

I am sure we would have been affected by this syndrome at least a few times(just to keep you in good    spirits) in our life time(till now,remember any life time offer in telecom parlance is not eternal but for a limited period)

And would have tried our best to achieve the desired results. Wondering?????, what it is all about? well nothing serious weight management . I was a victim  of this  long ago, when every one,who ever see’s me at the first instance, would really ask my mom ,why is she like this so thin, are you not feeding her properly?.And my mother would say, what can I do?she is made up of lots of mischief(kurumbu).that’s why she is not adding flesh to her bag of bones.

Walks to my  school and giving her a helping hand in all her chores, this in spite of being fed very conservately

 Little did my mother know that I was burning out more calories by way of regular work out, draining water from the well ,running up and down to the petty shops attending to all her errands, making four Walks to my  school and giving her a helping hand in all her chores, this in spite of being fed very conservately

Days rolled, by and now again I am a victim to this querry ,who ever sees me, Exclaim, Oh you have become soo fat  Why don’t you cut on your diet?(fat)    and every one suggests ,me their method and system of reducing this extra pounds of flesh. While I  am too docile to tell them  that I have gained all good qualities and that’s why I am now a cylindrical person(just look up the reasons for being thin what was given by my mom).

Bogged by this negative comment, I started  making efforts earnestly to reduce my weight, to start with, I purchased a skipping rope(that’s the cheapest), I tried over it for a day or so, and I gave up,Fearing the floor may give in.(but i am a very focused person)

I was lured with an advertisement, which showed a cycle, and suggested do cycling, you can get slimed thighs  and flatten your tummy,. Not knowing cycling, this was a real boon to me because I can do cycling at a stationary point,whether I reduce weight or not, I can proudly say some one I am cycling.

Well fancy for this too died, once I found my calf muscle ache, after a few strokes of pedaling,

now I had to find a permanent place to park it.

Peep ,peep  came an sms and I looked into it .it said lose 10kg of weight with out any

efforts, all you have to do is purchase a sauna belt, and tie it around the areas where

you desire to lose weight., when I was finding every thing difficult this was a very

promising one that too 10 kg was too big a deal, I landed up for making this purchase,And it became one immedietly as my weight reducing accessory,

only later did I learn that I have to be glued on at particular place near a electrical plug point

at least for 45 min, for remarkable! results, I did not even see mark able changes

so I shunned this too.(yet another parking lot).

a warm lemon juice sweetened with honey every morning would give excellent results,

Now my morning tea was replaced with this  drink and still no results, only thing was

that I was adding sugar to my blood.

Let me tell you all discreetly, I never gave a heed to the other side of the THE OPERATING manuals of these advices ,which was saying I should walk for at least 45 min(because this was some thing impossible),  this being the case I saw yet another catchy Advertisement, it said walk 10000

steps in 15 minutes, by just lying down. Thank god this is what I was looking for,

so this became my immediate, procession only to be parked in yet another corner.But i was neither guilty nor feeling bad that i have been spending money in accumulating a mini gym without any utility.
GYM ropes, sliming oil, herbal drinks and what ever course was suggested for weight reduction was purchased and stocked. but never used because the results were not remarkable and very important i was finding some reason to avoid that 45 min walk.

Well this is when I came across an advertisement which showed a fat person(than)

and a skimmed person (now),which assured, me some confidence to try it and landed

into a slimming centre, to start with  First I was made to pay an upfront fee, with an

assured weight loss goal. Than I was directed to a nutritionist who enquired about

 my eating habits ,and said a big NO to the minimum items what ever I ate ,instead

gave me a spread of items to eat and lo, I had to maintain a diet dairy which I had

 to show every time I visit her, And I had to walk for 45 min every day, any gain in

weight, I would not be allowed to have my thermal treatment, this is when I realized

the real value of Money, SO I started to take my 45 min walk seriously, AND TO MY

 surprise I started losing my extra pounds, and the realization came very late that it

was not the treatment, but my walking which was the trick behind every thing,  Had i done this in the very first instance i  would not have had to lose so much of money.  

I COULD REALISE THE VALUE OF MONEY ONLY THAN,WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHEN I WAS PURCHASING SOME APPLIANCE AND KEEPING THEM IDLE.   

BUT unfortunately nowagain I am enquired by many more peoplewith a lot of sympathy, Are u sick?, why are you losing weight, you look lost wit out those extra pounds, so Ihave started the process of eating and sitting. And I know that this process is going to be a vicious circle.And I also know

unless I pay a big sum again I am not going to walk and reduce my weight .

So the only activity that can bring you down is size is to walk,walk and walk

(which I never do)and i am sure they may be many others like me.

DISCOUNT DAMAKA

I am geared UP to become rich, might be I would be moving into a new dwelling unit,spacious and with lot of space and storage units ,because you know I have started to think about using the one time fortune that is comming my way.
well wondering whether , got those billion dollar lottery that comes thro sms ,NO. this is different and real, only thing is I have to step into one of the many departmental stores that is available.Which does not miss an opportunity to make us smart save money in the unusual way.
Yeah I have been going thro  these fabulous ! offers  that has been catching my attention
1) I can purchase 2kg of sugar,5kg of cooking oil and 5kg of ashirwad atta at a throw away price of rs 611/-
and save a big sum of rs 163/-
2)A 3.5kg tide washing powder is now coming at a discounted price of rs 226/- i also get 5 soaps free and a huge savings of  rs 100
3) Buy 950 grams of tea leaves only at rs 220 and  gain Rs 60 over your smart buy.
Well these are just a sample of the many whooping offers that have been thrown at me and I am sure
am gonna become cash plus and think about some major purchases or options of trading. too.WITH THE SAVED MONEY
Dons you feel the above activities of marketing are nothing but baits spread to hook innocent people.
My reasoning would be more logical if I explain with examples,going by my monthly average that I spend on provisions which ranges from  Rs 3500-4000, which is still a lavish spend, do you think I can park RS 611/-(almost 20%) of my budget to cough up with 3 items for making a good decision of saving Rs 163.
Further when my consumption rate on monthly basis for these items, is not even 1/5Th of what I have to get. how do I stock them up? that's why I said I would be moving into new dwelling place.
Once I purchase these items, does it not become my responsibility to prevent these item from any termite attacks and preserving too.
So ultimately you know who is the gainer ,the shop fellow who sells more, vacates his stocking area and also dumps you with storage options(Smart way is'nt it) he COULD GET THE ABOVE BENEFITS AT A PARTLY 163 rupee(Marketing hype!)
IT might not be out of place to mention that our normal spending, has  increased  with the advent of such super markets because, we don't have the required quantum,where availability is only in larger packs,We knowing fill up our carts with items not required, because they have drawn our attention.And we are forced to compromise with brands which we do not relish, for the laziness of visiting another shop.these are some of the  inevitable evils of shopping in super markets.
Now lets see what can happen ,if the much described and put on hold FDI in retail market  is brought in India.
 India has the uniqueness of having a huge population of 122 billion, spread in 64 lakh villages(72%) and the remaining 28% accommodated in 6000 towns. 6.8 billion of this population are classified as slum dwellers with no pucca houses, Hardly 3.8% of the above population is employed in the govt sector and the others have been left to design their destiny for livelihood.in the form of petty shops,vegetable vendor,fish vendor,tea shops and road side eateries.
India by way of its diversified culture is represented with different food habits,different dress-codes and value systems, Which means branding and giving you a uniform service delivery across the country  is ruled out. .Above all, we are well versed in preserving techies,BE it MUTTON,FISH,VEGITABLES,Are we not pioneer in pickling them and storing them.WHEN THIS IS THE CASE ,why should I give away my comfort zone of purchasing corriander leaves for 1/- rupee, when I am are half way thro with my favorite  dish, from my next door vendor than driving .to a Departmental store.(See I  save on petrol and pollute the environment less )
