I had been trying to attend this festival from the last four years,But due to college assignments deadlines,Work and Pre-planned travel plans couldn’t attend it.But,This year the story was different,even with being busy,I had made my plan to experience the world of cinema all under one roof. In the one week that the festival was held with over 100 movies,conversations,Panel discussion and launches with already a huge audiences to market and publicise the exclusive privilege earned at the festival this Movie/Mela couldn’t get better.

Me with the time in my hand,managed just a mere 10% of entertainment from the 100 % entertainment offered to me.

Oh!Yes I managed just 10 movies in the 7 days (168 HRS) of the festival,And it still did not satisfy me since I missed a good 90% of entertainment. 

Anyways,The 10 movies that I Managed to catch from the festival,Will be shared in my next Post with a complete synopsis and my review of it.

Aren’t we always wandering around for food? May be not always,But most of the time ? A start up,Focusing on giving the Direction to the foodie,by making them experience food &Lifestyle of a particular region by targeting the basic and the important part of any living culture through their food.

From organising walks to giving them not only the talks but also the taste and flavour of a culture of Mumbai and Nashik Widely popular and covered in the press too,A start up by the two Rahul Patil and Vinod Sarma worth a consideration for exploration .

F-Pace 

 

The last Few years has seen the growth of Mid-Size Suv segments growing rapidly then ever in India,From Maruti Suzuki to Hyundai to Ford and the Honda all fighting for sales in the same segment and doing very well,But the moment one of these 4 companies has seen the decline of sales,They have planed to introduce a facelift of the same Model.But,With number of customer already making up their mind and taking decisions.Will we see Suv’s once a very niche market today a mass market with competitive pricing as the “New it Thing” .There are more brands not only in the Mid-Size but also in the luxury segment launching Suv’s all around the world from Bentley launching Bentaga ,Jaguar F-Pace coming soon to India and The URUS by Lamborghini getting introduced to the world.Will the Suv’s rule the automobile for another decade? 

Carma will only tell us,What to expect in the near future.

The world !!!

The World is moving around and round,

But  our heads are still, still.

Still understanding,How everything still fits the bill.

The bill of our will.

 A will  of our till.

A Till that is endless than our will.

Yet still.

Our Head Is on the  Ground and 

 we are standing tall 

And having a ball.

Rolling on the wall.

Till we  fall.

And Become a Bomb.

A bomb that sheds tears,

Tears that taste like beer.

Beer that’s still not clear, 

Oh! Dear 

The world is moving around.

Yet , I am standing still there.

And my mind racing, 

There,There and everywhere.

Wherever I could imagine.

It travels, with just the thought of being there

There,Where everything is the same and nothing changes.

But,Ranges from  an accepatations to some expectations.

Yet, We are still stationed.

 The world is moving around and round.

Round, still to be found

And bound to  still  be lost.

Lost  and to be tossed.

World is moving around and round.

Retail in India!!

retail-india.jpg

The Retail Business In India compared to the any part of the world is a challenge for everybody ,not only  the ones coming in to india from International market but also  for the ones within the country.This is because Since India is a country with 29 states and 7 union territories,each having its own culture,Background and traditions which makes it difficult for one organisation in retail to know whether the business will be effective or will it fail.But in all of these states and India one thing is common the size of the product that is available needs to be as small as possible compared to retail business in  United states of America where sizes should be as large as possible.This might be  because we Indians tends to budget our expenditure for our monthly Shopping consisting of Grocery,Personal Care and daily tit -bits.But at the same time we don’t like wasting too much. or may be one of the other reasons that I truly believe might be the reason is of telling their neighbours that I bought all my monthly shopping for an X amount,rather than another X amount otherwise.We like saving and we also ask ourself Do we need so much? Why can’t we buy a smaller or and also if we buy the larger sizes we are unnecessary consuming something we don’t need in that quantity.And we also tend to think that we are being forced to spend an extra amount of money when we don’t need to if we are buying the larger sizes.

Where as in America we  have large sizes,so that we go shopping once a while and not very regularly   in a month,Because we have ran out of the goods and we must now go and shop.Shopping in India is also a way of socialising,where a lot shoppers meet their friends and start catching up with one another. In Usa Indians are programmed  to go every month and shop for  their grocery “Like another Job”.
