Is it all about being seen?

Filmmaking

 Imagine if actors did all the job from cinematography , their make up  and handling the camera .

If they did all the work ,they would surely not last for more than 5 years ,and could surely not maintain themselves .
so now I come to the main point ,the technical department who do the camera works,sound should be encouraged to take this profession ,by rewarding them with good salary and daily wages its because they aren’t payed well they aren’t able to make their kids educated , also since the technical aspect is also a tiring job and not everybody can do it ,these people should be appreciated once a while and make them feel as much important as actors,director,musicians 
also I am sharing my views on this after I read an article today in the newspaper where the generous king khan ,met a wife of a camera man and when she spoke ,and told him that there is no finance for her daughter’s education and hence she had to dropout from school …. Are we exploiting are workforce ,by taking advantage of them because of their education qualification ,if so why ,they are people who are working as hard as actor  and what do they get ,they don’t get noticed,appreciated and get low income enough for a meal a day .
does that mean if you aren’t an actor here you aren’t anything .

London Trip!!!

The London was the most awaited Trip ,there Is surely something about London that drives you crazy ,but the transport connectivity of the buses,trains and the tube drove me crazy since It Is  planned so well that you can just find your way back home ,the only city that came to my mind after seeing there transport facilities was Mumbai since the Mumbai Local “Lifeline of  Mumbai where millions travel by every day .Only If the population could be controlled a bit the railways services could be enjoyed a bit more and if the roads could be better the buses could be enjoyed too .

And the second thing the weather its humidity just kills .

back to London ,the places in London too reminded me about one of my favourite games  during my childhood days and is still my favourite the monopoly that had mayfair ,park lane ,piccadilly circus to name just a few ,every time I  went to any place I would well remember the colour of  the cards .

London are known for the “Gora”whites but you could hardly see any there were mostly blacks for a moment I got confused whether I am in the UK or in a caribbean Island , no I am not being racist here but I am just speaking about an interesting observation .

Also There were hardly any places for the fish & Chips , only Pizza the Italian cuisine has taken over with so many Italian Restaurants.

Overall the Trip was amazing !!! Hope to visit Again soon .

 

A decade ago!!

Foodmart

Decade ago, on this day  9/9 we started a supermarket around 3500 square feet in ground floor in a small city in India,Maharashtra Nashik ,we were the first supermarket even before  the big player like reliance ,and big bazaar or more from the birla group who thought to enter the retail category .

and 10 years later we have still have this store in the same place ,basement but today we have quite a few competitors who have been inspired by us in many ways right from looking after the customer to having the choices for consumer and customer .One right above us ,and we are still surviving ,we foodmart have imported stuff like sauces ,cheese and much more non veg being are Usp ,so in these ten years we have known the city ,people and we too have had a lot of activities from companies ,brand and people coming from another part of the city .
at foodmart I have personally enjoyed being the salesman selling and creating awareness on new products,offers and trying hard to make customer spend more than what they have to spend .
These ten years nothing much has changed the two main staff members are still there ,or rather they are the only ones with us .
the cash counter from two have come down to one and the software still remains the same ,the barcode scanner has been replaced with fingers .
These ten years ,I have also enjoyed communicating with so many people ,who we have known by faces and hardly by names .And these years the interest in the food,different cuisine have just grown wider and wider 
Today 2013 is a much better place for the city since they are aware about the products available with us .
Pasta has become one of those items that go in mostly every basket ,
fewer complaints on well this wasn’t good .
but ,there a few old customer who take the advantage of being regular or friends for either discounts ,
replacements and crediting bills 
These years also made me know quite a few people who were my classmates ,or were in my school would visit the supermarket for things they only found here or just go and check out whats new .
Its been one of those business we have attempted and been most successful even though we  been ahead of the times ,learnt quite a few things ,and the experiences have been infinite from people mostly  being disappointed and hungry for more .
Also not to forget ,these were the same 10 years where kids would normally spend time watching television and just having fun with there friends 
and we would be selling these same kids the things to make them spend more time in front of the idot box and hogg on food 
Yes,we hardly watched television ,since we had are cable disconnected ,it was only in the 2007 when ,yes cricket was at its peak again we installed the Satellite service ,and since then too we still couldn’t enjoy television a lot .
So yes I end with us enjoying the business so much ,that we hardly had time for anything and still today we enjoy going to foodmart the supermarket ,which is now are extended family in town.
 

Dollar Vs rupee

$ vs rupee

 

It was today ,afternoon when I received a call regarding  a book ,which I was looking for and so I was thrilled it would be available in the next two-three day .Finally ! but what I din’t relaise  is the price of the book it turned out to be Rupees  1900 around 30$ ,and this was the time i relaised that the dollar has affect the book to cost rupee  500 more .Its  just not the book that has become expensive electronic two have became expensive the excitement for the phone coming from abroad is also killed because its became economical to buy from India .

The complete economy of the country is shaken for a matter of fact ,even  few automobiles which are imported from abroad have been costing more Directly/ indirectly  to consumer ,This has also made them reconsider there decision    to whether they really need to buy a car .This in a way has decline the sales of the automobiles .

The dollar Vs Rupee has also affected travelling a lot, the exchange rate is giving fewer dollar at  the current rate moving the budget of a holiday for family ,business .

The travelling is also affecting the tourism in the country in a huge way.

The Education for students abroad has also become expensive as the fees increase, the cost of living. This has also opened the horizon of students either doing courses in the country or applying for courses in other countries where the exchange rate is lower.

The businesses have had opportunity of earning more money through the dollar price increasing and since they pay is in dollar they do get quite benefited.

But at the same time others to facing the heat of order being cancelled, pressure with the rise in dollar .

The fuel too has been costing a lot since its payee in dollar .the dollar-rupee apperception & deprecation has affect crude oil price to rises and this has affected in increase in fuel price the petrol & diesel has been becoming more expensive, the grocery goods have become costlier and the medicine and agriculture goods have become more expensive .

The hotel & restaurants which are multi-cuisine have also been thinking of increasing their rates and imported goods like sauces are costing more.

The rupee-dollar deprivation and appreciation has increased the demands for spices to be exported to other countries

and this 

The dollar-rupee rise has also resulted in people being sacked from jobs as one of the ways of cost cutting 

The dollar-rupee has been one of the biggest topic of discussion as the economy has been shaken.

The rupee appears smaller than ever in front of the dollar this gives the exporter a loss since there goods are sold  at low rates ,with the same quality and quantity.

So its only the importer who are getting benefited with the increasing dollar in front of the rupee  

Its because of the rupee that people are holding onto it and aren’t really spending it .

the  near future seems like recession coming in soon with the cost of living increasing 

since India festive season are around the corner they are deals on  electronic ,apparel, automobile tempting consumer ,customer to spend money and if isn’t helping there are greater EMI offered for costumer.

 

 

Friendship Day!!!

Friendship Day

Friendship Day …do we really need a day where we need to show how much we care for our friends .And what exactly is friendship … is it liking pictures & retweeting stuff on popular social networking sites or is it spending time with your friends for activities which have sportsman spirit ,egoistic attitude and a fun time going through a few memories or gossiping about your enemies or people you hate .

so how is friendship day different from any other day ,is it a day where friends have to meet their friends or show appreciation towards new friends .

I guess its just another business for the brands & company .

There isn’t any thing different from today or yesterday specially if you have had the same friends for years

or also is it to see your friend if their with you today also or not .
