Women, Shoes and Chocolates

Eric has had many relationships in his 28 years of survival with the opposite gender. In fact, he has dated two girls at one time in the recent past, however, the story is different now. He is in a serious relationship for the first time in his life. Debra, that’s her name. Eric says that he has finally met Debra “the one” after dating 17 girls. He says 18 is the magic number for him. However, that’s not the plot that this section is going to cover (yup..he was a playboy… WAS!!!)  It’s Eric’s interest in his lover that grabs almost all guys who are in a relationship or newly stepped on the love track or even guys looking out for potential partners.

Lately, Eric has been trying hard to understand the opposite gender so as please his partner and also because certain things about his girlfriend create curiosity in him (obviously his first attempt to understand women.)  He’s read various articles, books, notes and even heard opinions from friends. In the process, he even remembers his ‘non-guilty’ thought process while “scanning” other girls in the past. Jack is such a friend who is chilled out and easy going. He feels that there is no harm in looking at girls who have dressed themselves well. His outreach to such scenarios was “very genuine!” Girls dressed with hot shorts and tight jeans were aware that they are wearing those types of clothes and hence, he says, there is no harm in looking at them, in appreciating the beauty. “That does not mean that I wanna sleep with her, I’m not a pervert nor a sicko. I just enjoy God’s creation!”   

Eric came across various personalities under different circumstances however he felt that the key to a women’s brain is to understand why they love chocolates and shoes so much (he observed a lady hogging down a chocolate bar on the Subway and realized how emotional she got while she was eating it, yet she was looking at her new heels.) He sure understood that this was not true with all females; however, he wanted to put a common ground to his thesis of ‘understanding women.’ He felt that this is true as women of all ages display emotions for shoes and chocolates. Wonder how true that is!!

Eric went to every shoe store and chocolate sale point in town just to capture the reaction of women there, how they get excited eating the chocolate or just to see how they spend time looking at shoes or buy them as well. Some of them will give the longest “ummmmmmmmm…” while munching on those chocolates or just go “OMG!!!” on looking at heels or boots, of course when they actually bought them; their facial gesture emitted that “I’m the happiest girl alive” look! The way these women responded was remarkable. However, what Eric encountered and captured was the conversation between these two ladies in their lovely dresses. It was interesting that he noticed the two women laughing after reading an Instagram quote which read “only women can understand women, that’s why they hate each other!!” Eric was like “what!!”  Now Eric was very confused and thought to himself, “What the hell is going on!! Is this true or just sarcasm!!” Eric went home that night and thought hard. It was almost 4 am when he finally came to a conclusion, “I will never understand women, I just have to try hard to please my woman!!” Agree…? Disagree..? True..? Not true…? Or are you going to say.. “it depends” or conclude with a simple “I don’t know!”

A view on the Political Scene

With the current situation of our country, every thing is hanging in balance. The future as we know, is in our hands. We as citizens of our country should be aware of what is happening.  It is good to see that we as youths are able to understand what is right and what is wrong.

RIMS is NOT a drawing room of your ancestral property!!

                                                     To whomsoever it may concern

The impasse prevailing in the ‘reputed’ Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) is allegedly turning out to be an outcome of ‘kitchen administration’. It is so unfortunate that a family is trying to run a government hospital just like their household kitchen! So much so that, now, Mr D is defying all the orders of higher authorities to appoint a vital employee for the medical institute, because of reasons very well-known to everyone.

FDI in retail – a boon or bane for Indian economy and farmers?

Written by  Sheikh Noorul Hassan

 

The recent government decision to bring radical economic reforms mainly by bringing FDI in multi brand retail is in no way going to change the India’s Economy. According to some eminent economist, the present economic growth rate of 6.5 will remain for another three years. FDI in multi-brand retail notification of government of India has many shortcomings. The government of India has not laid down any provision for autonomous regulatory mechanism for infrastructure buildings instead Walmart has been empowered with self certification. Without having regulatory mechanism Walmart has been made god in it, it will only benefit Walmart.
The government’s argument that it will help in building world class infrastructure and save from wasting million of quantities of food grains which has become order of the day at government’s warehouses is nothing but an eyewash.  Another shortcoming is that there will be no legally abiding contract between the farmers and middle suppliers which will lead to farmer’s sufferings. The relation between Walmart and farmers will be linked through middle suppliers, which means there will be no legal contract between farmers and middle suppliers. The rights of farmers are not protected and Walmart will not be responsible as a final employer. The Walmart will have direct contract with middle suppliers which is an indication that hundreds more dummy companies will be formed. The so-called creation of large number of employment will only be unfulfilled dreams. There is no possibility of creating more employment except the present small vendors becoming an employee of Walmart. The street vendors at the least may be employed by Walmart but it will not help in creating million plus employment therefore it will not help in solving the rising unemployment problem of the country.
The politician and media are making different and wrong argument without understanding the real cause and issues related with the FDI notification. Politician of this country is only concern with their own benefit so they are hiding the real concern associated with FDI in multi brand retail. The government is trying to sell their faded face with some sort of cosmetic surgery in the form of FDI in multi brand retail and propagating wrong arguments. The FDI is neither good nor bad but it is more towards bad.
The economy in 1991 was quite different from the present economy; in 1991 there was no Facebook. The situation and circumstances 21 years before and today cannot be compared. India’s today liberalised economy is in more bad shape than 21 years ago. The world has also changed enormously in terms of economic equation. In past more than fifty years, the government of India has failed to bring any positive change or improvement in India’s agriculture sector than do we can think that Walmart will ever  bring improvement. The answer is obvious no. In past fifty years, the irrigation system, productivity level, use of new technologies to improve the Indian agriculture products has been given marginal importance though India’s economy mainly depends on agriculture. The conditions of Indian farmers is still pathetic and government has never seriously thought or brought any landmark reforms to improve their conditions accept lips service.
It is very hard to believe and think that this sudden move will bring radical change in the life and soul of Indian economy and farmers. The government of India should rethink and rework on FDI in multi-brand retail mechanism before it is implemented otherwise it will only help in bringing unwanted sufferings for Indian farmers and agriculturist. It is also to be reminded that Walmart is the brand which is forced to leave many developed countries because of its foul practices. Is it really needed to bring a foreign player in Indian Agriculture sector? Why cannot government bring FDI in power, education, energy sectors if they are really bothered about Indian economy and country’s development? It will remain an area of debate for a layman like me.
