First day of Market timing restrictions

I was in a salon at 8:15 pm when i heard police sirens…and then suddenly they were shouting on loud speakers to close the shops…telling the shopkeepers that they have to pay fine if they r not gonna close down immediately…and they actually managed to get 80% of the shops closed won within 15-20 mins. They came back after a while to check if there were any still open…what i like about the whole exercise that the shopkeepers were happy to close their shops and they all were talking about opening up early in the morning. They were happy that they can spend more time at home with their children and family. It’ll take some time to get used to of these timings…but in the end its gonna be good for everyone…shopkeepers, shoppers and the country. but on the other hand i really hope that the law stays long enough to get us used to of it 🙂

ciao

i’m back…finally

i lost focus…interest…and will to write…but i’m back now…
i know that all of my readers, if there were any, would have gone to other places, other blogs, and joined other ppl in the blogosphere…plus the advent of facebook have dented bloggers like me big time, as ppl become more interested in finding what others are doing instead of what others are writing…
but i’m back to assemble my readership back and give them something good to read…so stay put for new and regular posts
and a small thought for tomorrow’s Earth Day…save water…coz no water means no life
adios

from the moment of commitment, nature conspires to help you

I have an account which I hadn’t used in past few months and I was uncertain if its still active or not. I wanted to visit the nearest branch of the bank to inquire about the status of the account. Today when I checked my emails, I got an article about keeping the saving account active forever, I read it and noted to apply some of the tips mentioned in the article in future to avoid my account being inactive. Then later in the afternoon, i got a call from a friend requesting me to act as the introducer for his account in the same bank. I asked him to wait for my reply in a couple of hours. The omens were obvious that I should not be reluctant in making this matter clear. I rushed to the nearest bank in the lunch break and luckily the ATM transaction worked. And the mini statement showed that my last transaction was on 31st july, so it was pretty close of becoming inactive. And then I had to go through all the hassle of going to the actual branch of the account and submitting the application and the fee for making it active. Nature saved me 🙂

Pak Post…revamped or not?

i always try not to go to a government office in usual circumstances, and try to find someone who can do the work for me. but today i was short of time so i had to do the work myself. i needed to post two letters urgently…u ppl must be laughing at me as im still talking abt letters and snail mail in the cyber age…but i cant send an email or cant even use a courier to drop something in a PO Box…i heard a good deal about the revamped face of the Pak Post on KMB and some other forums, so I reluctantly decided to visit the nearly post office to buy the envelopes and post the letters then and there. As I stepped into the post office, the government office ambiance was all too evident. Everyone was standing and waiting for someone to attend them…but all the staff was bz in doing some work which was not at all related to the office…staff was just strolling here n there, arranging their stuff, talking to each other, but not in least bit interested in doing the work which they r supposed to do there…later I found out that as it was the shift change time, at 3 pm, and the staff was commencing its day, and we never work in the starting half an hour or even a full hour. Now that was quite a situation for me as it was pretty hot and I didn’t want to spend next 30 mins or so in that heat. An idea popped up in my mind and it was a good one…I heard in the news a couple of days back that Pak Post has issued some postage stamps on the Birthday of BB…I asked the nearest staff member for them…and I could see the delight on his face on hearing the name of BB…he instantly came to me and told that the head office has not provided them but I may get those stamps in a couple of days…as if I really need them 🙂
