Indian Cunsumer

A view at Indian Consumer and products price.

Usually Indian Consumer is very clever but in a way he follows the herd. He afraid of taking risks no matter how beneficial the risk can be.
He only buys products tried and tested by others.

According to a survey 95% people think that it does not matter who endorses product X. Then why these companies specially Cola Companies charges 10 Rs for 300 ml of carbonated Water?? Just because they pay Hugh amount of money to superstars to convince us?? Please somebody tell them it does not matter to us. What matter is that who has less price without any reduction in quality.

In the present era of cost reduction i guess what matters to Companies is that the sales should surge and for Consumers they need a cost reduction because salaries are the same from last year (some of them have lost jobs too).

Then for a change please stop spending large amount of money, power to illuminate billboards or paying superstars so the cost to consumer can be reduced and ultimately help in sales too.

The Honking Habit

No matter whats is ahead you but the person behind you will surely honk but why?? Because you are ahead of him. Just fly your vehicle and let him go.

What a habit for us Indians ... we are too impatient in the traffic ,no matter what we will honk , bark ... at the person in front of us.

Whenever we have 50 mts long queue of traffic at a red light if the person standing at the last will honk immediately as if he want to blow all the people in his way.

As we are getting habitual of honking and becoming insane of this sensitive tool to alert people of ur intentions.

Whenever i used to see some NO HONKING board few years back i wondered how can people stay without honking and whats the need of stop the horn.

Today after going on the road with a vehicle i realize the need of it.

I don't know why we honk when we can understand that the person ahead of us is in more hurry than us and trying hard to get going.

Moral :- Horn is a sensitive tool and it can harm your sensitivity while reflecting your inner frustration through the sound.

khoon chala

kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipatkar
galiyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala

khuli-si chhoT lekar, baRi-si tich lekar ahista ahista
sawaalon ki ungli, jawaabon ki mutthi
sang lekar Khoon chala
kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala

kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipatkar
galiyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala
