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”.             

“Queen of Katwe”-Personal Movie Review 


“Queen of Katwe” A film by Mira Nair.Is a film Based On a true story,That Sends out a very strong message to the audiences,That no matter what background you belong to,No matter where you come from.You must be given the opportunity to prove yourself.The film revolves around the central character Phiona (Played by Madina Nalwanga) the movie on who it’s actually based and Robert Katende (Played by David Oyelowo,who was last seen playing the role of Sir.Mater Luther King in Salma)Play’s the role of  the coach who start’s training some of the kids in a  ‘ Katwe’,  a small village of Uganda,how to play Chess ,as a part time job,But makes it a full time job when he realises the potential of these kids becoming Master of the game.The amazing part of the story is how they adapt ,and prove their worth by defeating students from the best high school in the Uganda.

The timely expression and dialogues with South African music add the extra touch to make the movie an enjoyable one.

The complete star cast and the team involved in the film,Has done a really good job with the movie.

India In A Day!!


“India in a day”Attended the screening of the film and realised there is so much happening in this country in just a day from emotions soaring high to falling low to realising it happens only in India,Where the lawmakers too don’t follow the law.

To realising each day is  a struggle.

To concluded that only the small things matter the most in India.

Bringing a smile on someone’s face to making one happy.

The concept of crowdfunding telling India’s to send a day in India and compiling them in a form of story was apt to get to showcase how really India is.

India as a country is so diverse from religion,Spirituality, Politics,Cinema to cricket and the cultural that’s it’s hard to believe this one country and not many other countries.
