Learners’ paradise
Shopping in London is an experience of a lifetime. You have some of the best choices in clothes, electronics, furniture, gift items. In fact, you name it they have it. As it turns out there are so many supermarkets in the UK that you are badly spoilt for choice. There are also designer labels, wines from all over the world, DVDs, CDs, attires, even florists. Some supermarkets also have opticians and pharmacies attached to them. Shopping at a supermarket is an experience to cherish. Have you heard of digital set-top boxes that show you any film or show you want, from the best picks? Keep abreast of the news and events of the world, watch sport as it unfolds and be a citizen of the world. Hard to believe, isn’t it? But it’s all true.
Actually, people don’t even go to superstores anymore. Everything is available online, at the click of your mouse. If these supermarkets were in India, how good would that be? Recently, however, back home, we just heard of the Subhiksha chain going bust. What went wrong, who knows? But the Reliance chain is doing pretty well. Not that our super markets come even close to the British counterparts, but maybe we could learn a lesson or two in retailing from these giants. These superstores are not only huge in their size, they also take great pains to offer great prices so that customers don’t feel cheated. Tata’s Westside comes close pretty close to the best Indian version of a superstore. I hope to hell that they continue to innovate and provide exemplary service.
Did you know that even the gas and electricity in London are more environment conscious than any Indian supplier? Everyone knows there’s global warming but a developing country like India, with so much industrialization must be the worst contributor of carbon gas emissions in the atmosphere leading to climatic change. What are our suppliers doing? There was news that Bombay gas was on its way back, but there hasn’t been much progress in this area. Also British companies are using solar energy and wind farming to produce their electricity and fuel. What is keeping us behind? The first world is already fighting hard to keep the planet as healthy as possible, but why are we not picking up the cue? In our rapid rush towards progress, we have conveniently forgotten the damage we are perpetrating on the environment. It’s time we woke up from our slumber.
