Shopping at Malls or succumbing to loots!

Shopping has been everyday experience with most of us. In metros like Mumbai, Kolkata or Delhi, Bangalore; every neighbourhood has its own set of groceries, clothing stores or any other shops you name. Even in smaller towns there are markets with shops of all varieties. In these shops, you can bargain and buy what you really want to. They never solicit any product that you don't need to or think worth of buying. We have been so used to them; we never thought there can be anything better.  Really not, there is nothing better.

Malls; every alternative days you find their ads in your news papers. They boastfully advertise selling their stuffs be it groceries, clothing's or furniture at a cheaper price but the fact remains far from realities. What they sell cheap; mind you either they don't sell or they are approaching shortly their expiry dates. Some think that their qualities must have been compromised! Some of earlier articles stand by them,

well, no doubt Malls offer an ambiance of so called West; dust free, noise free with soft music shopping experience; where you buy everything on MRP ( maximum retail prices!); some with farcical offers like 'Buy one;get one Free!', But practically you are paying more or much more. Keep apart of your conveyance expenses; that adds more to your expenditure. Many beeline there because it's now a status symbol; shopping from Malls. Mind you you remain the loser!

A close look would reveal; no, it was not freshly shaved countenance; the tiny gray hairs shoot out all over the face; as they look in the evening; long after you shave in the morning. Why the shaving is so important! Well no one ever remembers seeing him unshaved even if when he used to be sick for long time. That was he; my father; lying on the stretcher mounted on a vehicle that carries dead. This was his last journey on wheels. He preferred bicycle and was very fond of paddling up and down to the Railway factory where he worked for more than 35 years. I felt he would have been happy, could I arrange a cycle rickshaw for his last ride. In a city like Kolkata, you know it was difficult to arrange or in that matter it would been very difficult to...

Shopping Malls; new destination of middle-class

चित्र
Recently there is lots of hue and cry over government’s decision clearing FDI retailer’s passage to open their shops in India. Government claims this will change our economy taking drastic turn. The farmers will be more gainer and so we, the consumers. Lots of jobs will be created in retail sectors. As they may erase our age -old clan of middlemen. Their direct marketing bypassing middlemen will help farmers get better price for what they grow and consumers get better what they buy. However the antagonists claim; things will go far worse as they will enjoy monopoly and rule the market as they wish. Now for us the situation is just wait and watch. After all we have no choice.
