Everything Overpriced

It's a first weekend of the month, today as usual the newspapers are full of ads (just like any other day). But why did "The Hindu" have a solid 8 pages+ 5 pages (extras) on SALES, DISCOUNTS & the so call SAVINGS?? Its an easy one, coz people have just got their pay which is ready for disposal...;-)
Consumerism is in our blood, faltu ka kharch is really a part of life.
Now, it's not that I JUST realized about what I said above (just to make things clear). Its just that today in the store, I couldn't push myself to buy those discounted stuff even after cutting that 40% off the so called actual price tag, it was really not worth it. Why suddenly does a price tag matter to me? that's coz whose hard earned money is put to use (my own), for around a year now; from when I started working, there is nothing which is branded in my collection...back in time when my parents purchased everything (they still do), I really dint care about the price tag & just went on with what I liked. Being from the IYER/BRAHMAN clan ;-), I boast of being very hardheaded with economics, I see economics in every god damn thing...literally everything ;-), but again, I am thrifty but not a saver who saves for no particular reason.




So, the bottom line is
Everything is overpriced, Doctors relate it to health but I think it applies everywhere that "Awareness/Knowledge is the best prescription", be aware and don't just burn your cash on overpriced stuff just to give you the feel of how grand u've become, ur still the same no matter what.

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Image
Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day.
