"Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance"


Yesterday.. I went to the city and had really lot of fun having some of the corn puffs & veg. pattice etc...! I liked it as ...after the shopping I was literally...looking for something to drink...and the best I liked was...the moment you come down from the Elivator to the ground floor ..there is this small coffee stall...where you can get coffee, juice ..& 'kokam' Juice besides the snacks..& yes pizza too !
Pizza is something we have when there is no hope of getting good food :)...I remember..during winter time when its heavy snow and you dont feel like cooking and there is no left overs also..that time we remember the Pizza 'Take-Out' order!!! ..:D

'Its not hard to make decisions, when you know what your values are' :)

Anyway, as they say you only value when in need :)!!!

About the sales guy in the 'Vama' shopping center...initially when I was asking him about the tops n trousers/jeans...it was the usual experience for me..here as..'if you want - take it or else you can go' & I have often...said to them ...I don't think you need any customers...& I pity the owner!!! The guy started showing me some turtle necks..gosh!!! its so hot here and I dont think there would be any winter season where one needs to wear turtle necks...:D...I was zapped and said..."pleaszzzze this I have already...I want something for the weather here..since its so hot.".& probably thats when he realized ...that he should pay more attention to the customers requirement...!!!

His service was excellent after that..& he showed me so many different types of clothes and also suggested for some of the better suits & casual wears...I just looked at him and smiled..said."I appreciate!!!!"

Later, I came to know that the way I was shopping no one here would do so...as my bill was too high for here :p !!! So that means ...you only value the money !!!!

"Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it"

I felt..this is discrimination again...!!! A lady came there to ask for some office wear stuff and he was least interested & just went on as if he has some other important work to do..!!! Why such discrimination when our own Bapuji had said...'A Customer is like a God'!!!??!!!

Well...I felt like doing justice to this family hence I clicked this mother crow while she was feeding her kids :)..in Canada I have seen the crow in the zoo ..lol !!!! I guess I can sell this pic there ;)

Goan pao... ur comment made me laugh :-)))
Sorry Dawn, laughing at ur cost ;-)

I must say... ur experience with the customer care or sales person over here is not improving...
I guess in Mbai Shopping Malls are pretty decent in this matter... coz the competition kills...

"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get" - This reminds me of my economic lectures... I love Economics ;-))
