A precious gift!

Such a beautiful gift any person can get. ma daughter Urvi appreciating her mother for being there for her to get 1st price for Group Song and 2nd prize for English speech. Nice gesture from a 6 year old...  This is a treasure...

This is the real life!

There was a man with four wives. He loved his fourth wife the most and took a great care of her and gave her the best. He also loved his third wife and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, he was always had a fear that she might runaway with some other man. He loved his second wife too. Whenever he faced some problems, he always turned to his second wife and she would always help him out. He did not love his first wife though she loved him deeply, was very loyal to him and took great care of him. One day the man fell very ill and knew that he is going to die soon.

He told himself, "I have four wives with me. I will take one of them along with me when I die to keep company in my death."

Thus, he asked the fourth wife to die along with him and keep company. "No way!" she replied and walked away without another word.

He asked his third wife. She said "Life is so good over here. I'm going to remarry when you die".

He then asked his second wife. She said "I'm Sorry. I can't help you this time around. At the most I can only accompany you till your grave."

By now his heart sank and turned cold.

Then a voice called out: "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." the man looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the man said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!"

Actually, we all have four wives in our lives.

a. The fourth wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when w die.

b. The third wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they go to others.

c. The second wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

d. The first wife is our soul, neglected in our pursuit of material wealth and pleasure. It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. 

Food for Thought - The importance of thanking GOD!

The importance of thanking GOD for all the things he has given us (positive) and not for the things we desire he gives.  In simple words "learn to say Thank you" for anything that comes your way, surely this habit will make you a better person

Flipkart and AmazonIndia...

Well I was asked by DEALS AND READS (on Twitter: @dealsandreads)

Hi Arun. We cover shopping reviews. Have you observed any difference between Amazon and Flipkart? We would love to know :)

I wanted to share my experience of online purchase and this question made me not delay the exercise further.

I have been using #flipkart for about a 18 months now and have been their die-hard fan for buying books, toys and gifts, however this changed with #AmazonIndia coming to the market. (I never liked #junglee.com )

Well this time around I was in a mood to buy some books and when looking online on these two portals realized that the prices were same as with the delivery lead time.

However maximum purchase was done on AmazonIndia for a simple reason "no extra charges for deliveries", where as Flipkart was charging me Rs. 40 per book. (it would have costed me Rs. 300 extra over the books cost price) which was ridiculous, unless flipkart has too much business that they do not care.

Now the best deceitful part on #flipkart anything bought through their mobile app comes with free delivery (this is cheating, to say the least). This is not justifiable and is a compulsion on prospective buyers to use the app forcefully. I don't like this part and to get over this I bought 3 more books from AmazonIndia.

I must accept that the mobile app of flipkart is easy navigate through but I found making payments via debit card was a concern and it failed (not a problem via laptop/desktop tho), so here in this case I had to choose cash on delivery instead and had to request my friend to pay and receive on my behalf. 

As for the choice i found that AmazonIndia has more books and the recommendations are more better in comparison and relevant to they type of books I have browsed.

Will I continue to used Flipkart, "YES", but now I have another platform to compare the offers and choose what suits me better. its that simple. BUT IF FLIPKART DOES NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE DELIVERY CHARGES POLICY, .............?????

New books...

I have ordered through #FlipKart and #AmazonIndia the below books and now waiting for my friend to bring them from India to UAE.

This happens in every family!
