Is Bargaining good or better for worse?

Hello guys! It's been a long time, since I wrote my last blog.

First of all, what is bargaining? Bargaining is an act of negotiating the price of a product, which is mostly used to reduce the cost of the product. (the context of the word 'Bargaining' is used for different purpose here)

Why do we do it?

Most of the time, women or any men do the act of bargaining, why because they felt the product is either too costly or not worth to the product's price. 

I am not a person, who indulge in Bargaining but, let me share an incident that had happened to me.

It was the previous week, I went to Sowcarpet for my Christmas shopping with my brother. I bought two satin long gowns, in which one dress cost ₹2000, but my brother bought the dress, which is reduced to ₹1900 by bargaining. The dress was worth upto the price.

We went to the another shop, where the satin long gown was ₹3500. Actually the owner was misleading us by saying the cost of the gown is ₹5000. He was confusing us and so, my brother bargained to ₹3000 and we bought it, though that long gown was not worth upto the cost.

While coming back, There was a fruit shop opposite to Rajiv Gandhi hospital, where I had bought pomegranates. 1kg of pomegranate is ₹300. We were shocked, so my brother bargained to ₹250 and that grandma agreed to it. I was thinking why should we need to reduce the cost of the pomegranate by the act of bargaining?

You know what I did? I gave ₹400 and she gave ₹100 change and was searching for ₹50 to give it back to me. I just went near the bike to go, and she was asking me to get the ₹50 change. I told her that we are buying it for ₹300.

You know what she did? She was overwhelmed by the act and she was so emotional. She joined both her hands together and told me "thank you". I nodded and I bowed down my head in a way of wishing her and left.

From what I can understand from bargaining is that, it can be good but not all the time.

Most of the common people, do bargain in the small shops or to a vender who sells on the street. But, why can't the same people do bargain in big shops like saravana stores, or any big clothing stores across India?

 

Because if we do that, they will throw you out of the shop. People won't bargain because, money speaks there in big stores or any Textiles and the main reason is the fixed price of the product and shop won't change it.

This same question was asked in Neeya Naana, A debate show of Star Vijay network.

In conclusion, what I want to tell you is that, Bargain when there is a need, but don't do it all the time because in a way, you are making the seller to be in loss or specifically, you are pushing the seller to poverty level even if the price of the material was worth upto the cost.

(This is my opinion of sharing it here. You can either understand my thoughts, if you are agreeing to my points or ignore if you don't agree)

A small yet shopping street...

When I walk into this street,

It will be very crowded.

You want to go into a particular shop, but you can't because you will be flown away.

Nearly one lakh people will be there in this small street.

Everyone will be running here and there to buy things, 

Especially women and ladies do most of the shopping here.

Shoes! Shoes! Fifty nine rupees shoe!

Do you need Tailor ma?

We'll do stitching in one hour!

Ice-cream in fifteen rupees!

Do you need key chain?

And lot's of pamphlets for their advertisement. 

Everyone will tirelessly working hard for their job,

Where is the salesperson?

There will be ruckus in each and every shop.

Yet, it is one of the famous streets in Chennai, 

One of the memorable place for everyone.

Even there was a movie adaptation based on this street.

The next station! Mambalam!

So, welcome to the world of shopping!

The Ranganathan street!🥳

when people use Airpods...

The more inventions, more obsession, with more damages to our body.

Yes. We as a students, getting obsessed to more and more technologies, especially Airpods. 

When we are going somewhere, we'll use this airpods and carry this everywhere. 

Why are we using this?

When we felt bored or when we don't have any work or, if we want to listen to the songs to feel the vibe in it, we use airpods. Even when we have any online meetings through phone or laptop, we use this to get a clear sound without any distraction.

The advantage of using this is that, we'll get a clear sound and sometime we can have more personal time for ourselves.

The disadvantage of using this is that, 

Prolonged usage of airpods led to itching, earwax get clogged which leads to deafness for a time, difficult in hearing problems, etc.

People carrying it everywhere is sometimes good but, using it all the time without any break led to distraction towards the reality of the world. Usage of this during driving, especially while riding a bike can lead accidents. 

Whenever we see people using it, maybe they want to get into the world of themselves, or to get distracted from the reality, they really forget about the surroundings, Like their world is dependent on it.

So my answer is use it for a while, but don't forget to get into the world of reality.

 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

                         Colossians 3: 1-3

Poem - Life goes on

One day I was sitting on a bench

Waiting for my friend to come.

While I was listening to the songs,

And watching around in the Bus stop,

People around me are running here and there,

And it's becoming more and more crowded,

People around me are so anxious and agitated,

Like they have missed something in their life,

Waiting for the bus to come, while checking their time.

On the other side, people like me were listening to the songs,

Chillaxing patiently while waiting for the bus to come.

The people around me were running without stopping,

They might have gained or lose something in their life.

We are running towards something to gain in our life,

They work for their family with blood sweat and tears,

But are they satisfied with that?

Well, some will, some may not.

But this is how the life is and the "life goes on".

Poem - Good Listener...

When someone faces problems,

When someone is in need of help, 

When someone faces psychological issues, 

When someone faces family problems,

That good listener will be there for them.

That good listener Will help them to sort out their problems,

Listen to their worries,

Gives solution to their worries,

Give comfort for them, 

They make sure that he/she is there for him/her.

But what about that good listener?

The same person who gives comfort, giving solution, sorting out their problems,

Are those Their are helping that good listener?

Well, reality hits hard when those good listener have no one to lean on.

They are the loneliest people in the world,

But God will be there for him/her.

Inspired from the Gospel:

இம்மையில் துக்கம் அடைந்த மனிதர்கள் ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்டவர்கள்.

    தேவன் அவர்களைத் தேற்றுவார்.

            Matthew 5:4

POEM - A TRUE FRIEND

When you feel ignorance from others,

When you feel neglected,

When you feel being an unwanted,

When no one wants you to be there,

The loneliness that others make you feel,

When they don't mind you as a person,

Though you have a friends around you,

The loneliness among your friends they make,

Those feelings can't understand by your friends, 

But, there is only one person in your life, 

Who understand you better than your friends,

Who will always support you no matter what,

Where you can share all your worries,

Where she will give solution to you,

Where she knows the other side of you,

The only true friend of your life,

The bestie, Good listener, a pillar to support you,

The only true gem of your life!

Dedicated to my/all true friend of my/ your life!
