The musical play ,this was the first time that we experienced this ,as it was a must see while you were here in London ,there were quite a few options too lion king,Matilda,chocolate factory and wicked .We settled for wicked and It was the right choice I guess the sets were as is you were watching a movie on television rather than a live play,the effects couldn’t get better ,and in the end it was one experience worth experiencing in a life time .
Flight journey
There have been many airlines that I have traveled by including Cathay pacific ,Lufthansa ,jet airways ,Turkish airlines and now by Emirates and I was dissapointed by there services the first flight to dubai was just perfect but when we left for London the flight ice the entertainment system was troubling a lot in the seven hours journey i had to change a few seats and jut complete a 2hour movie in seven hours ,I also read a few magazines but people who are restless what do they do?
Some people were happy to get sleep ,while other running to get a seat where the system is working ,for a airlines who have won quite a few awards this was least expected and I also wonder are these awards just for there magazines only because there services were slow ,we were done with our meal 2 hours ago and after 2hours they took away our tray .
This was my worst flight journey and also because it was the longest journey on a stretch .

The lunchbox
The Lunchbox was a being very hyped for the last two days since it released .And it’s been quite an interesting year for Indian cinema with movies like Bhaag milkha Bhaag ,ship of Theseus and now the Lunchbox ,so today we go and see the movie sitting on the 3rd row corner seat from the screen spending Rs 330 and I have to say it was all worth it.
The idea was good to have a story on how the wrong lunchbox reaches the guy”Irfan Khan”
And how the story evolves when they start writing “Note” and all these to execute and getting just everything right .
The other character “nawaz siddiqui “got life to the movie The movie could have become monotonous and the change in his daily events back from work also makes the movie interesting.
The movie also showed how the life of dabbawalla in Mumbai is .
On a personal note “The movies gives message on life in Mumbai,relationship ,conflicts amongst the character and how life changes with a mistake “kabhi kabhi galat train be sahi jaga pohchati hai
Sometimes even the wrong train can take you to the right direction
Hope you all enjoy the movie .

iPhone
Its official , after all those rumours going on for the past few months the iPhone has introduced Colourful iPhone under the 5C.Is it a good decision to introduce iPhone with Colours?
Personally speaking , its a smart decision , seeing it as a business because in the end you want sales, profit and that is what apple is loosing with competition from brands like Samsung and HTC which have been giving tough competition to the brand .
Now that iPhone has been introduced do we see the brand that revolutionised the way a phone should be . Taking inspiration from other brands for surviving in the market .
The brand apple too has the 5S a standard version of the phone thats look so classic ,with the colours white,grey and gold that has a rich feel to it ,that would like to be owned by people and this might be a good strategy to having a phone for a particular segment and the same phone with a few differences for another segment the 5C & 5S.
And also iPhone has become a phone that is owned by every 2nd/3rd person with easy offers on EMI scheme ,it surely has lost its appeal from niche product to a mass product , the phone too must have just lost the WOW! you have an iPhone , to oh ! even you have an iPhone .
If apple’s idea is to rule the phone market ,then its a nice attempt again now they have introduced a phone to cost $99 in the U.S and in India not less than 20,000 so are we also seeing iPhone being unsure of its brand image or is it looking to change its image totally .

A decade ago!!
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.
