Again…

January 30, 2010 / / 4 Comments

I wanted to write this post in some different way but, just a change of mind. Now i will just post what i saw.

Today we went to the International Book Fair at Pragati Maidan. Few of the observations:

  1. At none of the gate it was mentioned that where the tickets were available and from which gate was the entry for book fair. As far as i am aware this information is not available online as well.
  2. After entering from the main gate there was no information about in what all halls book stalls were being hosted ?
  3. No single board telling what all publishers were there.
  4. There are maps near landmarks in the province (but some of them probably without “You are here” mark) telling about the locations of various halls but after reaching in front of a hall, you wont be able to tell anything about it as there is not a single board telling about its name or number.
  5. There was no question of any support staff being there/helping you.
  6. Least number of sign-boards so that you take the longest route for reaching from one place to another.
  7. Every possible eatable thing was over-priced. (An OK types paneer kulcha for Rs 40 and a plate of gol-gappas (6 pieces) for Rs 15).

May be i am missing something…for now…that is it !

Dear Friend :D

Nothing special, just a stupid spam mail. Found it really funny 😀

Dear friend,

Do accept my apology if my email does not meet your personal ethics but i
hope it makes our acquaintance. I have a business proposal for you, worth
the sum of US$17,500,000.00 Million of which you will be fully entitled
to. if you so desire. This transaction is legal and totally risk free but
due to the high level of insecurity over the internet, it’s really
difficult to know if you are trust worthy because it will take a great
deal of trust for me to let you in on this transaction.
Therefore, if you are fully interested in this deal and want more
information, kindly send me an email to my private email address [
chen.guan0ff1@yahoo.com.hk ] and please include your
FULL NAME; ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER; so that i can contact you immediately.

Regards,
Mr. Chen Guan

Shopping grrrrrrrr….

Note: This post is the result of the frustration coming from a failed shoopping attempt that took almost the whole day 🙁 .

I had to buy a pair of sports shoes. So attempts for that have been going on since last few months 😀 . Today was just another attempt with some hope but it failed miserably. Now it has been few months, I guess and many places in Delhi and all the main brands ie Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma but I haven’t got a decent pair of shoes. Don’t know there is nothing available in the market or there is something seriously stupid with my choice. People love it but for me, in general, shopping is a really tough exercise, specially when it needs to be done in a time frame. Like there comes a marriage next week and comes a need to get a new shirt. I haven’t been much successful in all such endeavors. But yes, many times I have got good stuff while visiting some mall without any specific shopping ideas. So folks, not much stuff to write. Just wanted to release some frustration 😛 . But seriously, these days buying some decent clothes is becoming really tough. Leave proper formals, otherwise decent clothes are hard to find. India is running really fast in this fashion (wearing some seriously not-so-decent clothes is fashion, no ? 😉 ) lane !!!
