A lesson from my Dad!

We humans are very good learners. We have the capability to watch and learn many thing and we do that every day in our life. Our parents are our first teachers. They teach us the general values and ethics of our life. We learn to talk, walk, eat and many other things from them. And the best part is that they cling by us always and help us grow. When we are a bit older we are sent to the school and colleges respectively to get educational knowledge. And our parents help us in that too. But there comes a time when the parents are forced to let us learn by our own or in simple words they let us go so that we develop the capability of Self-reliant.

Being self reliant is very important for us in our life. We cannot always depend for anything and everything on our parents and this is that time when they set us free and help us without helping us. They are always there for us and are ready to help but they want us to live our life with our head high in pride. Like HDFC Life helped there customers to secure their present and future so that they can always live with their heads held high.

I myself have come across such situations in my life when I had to rely on myself and had no backup from anywhere. And few of these opportunities were created by my parents so that I can learn to be self dependent. Although it is too tough to choose such an incident from my life but I have done my best to put forward here the best on that I remember.

I had very disciplined childhood with limited hour of play and limited hour of television too. The study hours were fixed too. I always knew that there was no escaping from these systems so I had to absorb in. I was good at studies but I never got a good chance to learn other things in my life and one among them was cycling. I saw my friend riding bicycles but was unable to learn it. It was my birthday and guess what my grandparents gifted me a brand new bicycle. I  was happy and sad as well, happy because I had my own bicycle and sad because I did not know how to ride one. I went to my dad and asked him to teach me and he was ready too.

My cycling classes began right away with my dad and I was showing great progress too. Within three to four days I had mastered almost everything in cycling but the problem was that I always needed my dad to help me start the process of cycling. My dad tried to teach me how to push the paddle and then when the cycle was in motion I should get up on the seat and start paddling. These steps sounded like a piece of cake theoretically but practically I always needed my dad to catch my cycle while climb. He taught me hundreds of times how to do that but I was so dependent on him that I had to wait for him on the other edge of the ground to come and help me ride the cycle again.

This process went on for like a week or so and one evening my dad took me to the local stadium ground which was not too far away from our house. I was so happy that I was going to cycle in an wide open ground but I was unaware of his plans. We reached the ground at five in the evening and my dad helped me to start the cycling three to four times. He then asked me to try it by my own but every time I tried I failed because I knew dad was there to help me. It was getting dark and dad asked me to take a final round before we can leave. He helped me as usual and I speeded to the other end of the stadium. I stopped there to catch my breath and waited for my dad to come by to help me ride again but he was nowhere in sight. I thought that he may be talking to some uncle and would be here soon but I was wrong 15 minutes passed by and yet no sign of him.

I was in a great dilemma what to do. A thought came into my mind that I should leave the cycle there and go and check on him but that thought vanished when I realized that I could lose my cycle forever. I had no other option but to try and ride it myself. I tried and failed in the first two attempts and I almost cried but there was no one there to help and then I remembered and followed step by step what dad has taught me. And on the ninth attempt there I was ridding the bicycle by my own. I was so proud. I took 2 more rounds of the stadium stopped thrice and succeeded to ride the cycle in my first attempt every time.

I realized that it was getting late and also I should find my father so I hurried to the stadium gate. I saw my father watching me from the stadium gate and clapping for me as I came near. I stopped left my cycle on the gate and ran towards him and hugged him tightly and said, “Dad please never ever leave me alone like you did today”. He smiled and replied that he never left me he just let me go so that I can be self-reliant. Later he explained me that he left me there on purpose so that I myself can try and learn to ride the bicycle.

Our parents sometimes purposely leave us so that we can be self dependent and learn to live our life with pride although they always keep in touch and are ready to help if we need them.  I came across this beautiful video  #MyFamilyMyPride ad film please watch it and remember the time when your parents helped you without helping you.

                                                                        

No Fikar now chat on Quikr.

Are you tired of your old phone sell it on Quikr http://www.quikr.com/ and buy a new one. We all are accustomed of selling our unwanted goods and products at Quikr. The website has a firm grip on the market and has been a great gift to us. Mr. Chulet helped a lot of Indian homes by helping them sell their unwanted things and others by helping them find a product of their need at a lesser price. This website has not been less than a miracle to us. Now we certainly know what to with our old phones when we are planning to buy a new one and we also know where to look if we are willing to buy used and undamaged goods. You can almost sell and buy everything and anything on Quikr. All you need to do is post an advertisement of your requirements and you will you will have it executed as early as possible. But these advertisement cause a lot of trouble for us too. Well the trouble doesn't directly comes from the advertisements but by the phone calls we have to receive ones we have posted an advertisement on the site. These calls are really pissing sometimes and takes us by our nerves. So in order to cut short the chase of these boring tring trings the brand Quikr has come up with a new feature which is introduced with the website and the feature is known as the Quikr NXT. So this feature gives you a way where you can now chat with your buyers or the sellers on the website. And they have launched this feature for both the desktop and the mobile version of the website.

To be very honest this new feature launched by Quikr is way better than getting a call for your advertisement. Maybe this would be my personal opinion but yes I have my own reasons to prove them. The first and very genuine reason that I would like to put forward is that many a times you post an advertisement and you get a hell lot of calls for it. Well you may be thinking that have I gone insane that I am pointing out huge number of calls for an advertisement a problem? But I have not the reason these calls feels like a problem is that these huge number of buyers make my brain go hay wire an I lose track of them. But if we are using a the Quikr NXT feature it smartly solves this problem by keeping a track record of the chats you have done with each buyers separately and thus no more fuss over who did call and whom did you said an yes to sell or meet.

My second reason to prefer the chat feature over the phone calls is that the buyer calking you may not be knowing what are you doing and where you might be at the time of call. Maybe you are busy attending you boss's anniversary party and you are in middle of proposing a toast to the couple and you get a call from the buyer. Is not it annoying? It certainly is and to avoid these situations it's better to use the chat feature. Reply the buyer whenever you want.

My third reason to prefer the chat feature is directly or indirectly related to my second reason. We are not always free to attend calls and this leads to big disasters sometimes. And by disasters I mean that we easily miss our selling opportunity. A call missed is a buyer gone. The buyer may have the feeling of being unattended or left out because he/she may not know why didn't you picked up the call. So this chat feature can always help you trace your buyers back and you can contact them later when you are free. Also you can chat to them whenever you get a break from your work and can pause and resume the talk easily where you have left it. So it's time saving too.

Aren't these reasons enough for us to love the Quikr NXT feature. It is for me and I am loving this nee feature a lot and would recommend this to all my friends. No fikar ab chat on Quikr.

Off to Bangalore with Quikr...

Aankhon mai sapne liye ghar se hum chal toh diye jane ye rahen le jayengi kahan…!!! This song completely goes well with my life. In a short term of five years of my job I have travelled three cities and this time it was Bangalore. This New Year the managing director and CEO of the company invited me to his personal party so that he could drop the big bomb of Bangalore transfer on me. Somewhere or other I was mentally ready for a transfer but not that far. It was like travelling to the other pole of the globe to meet new people, new language and new life.  These things may sound interesting but in reality they are real headache.

So the good news was that I was transferred again and this time to Bangalore and the bad news was that I had no friends around there to help me relocate and buy household stuffs with me. I was left all alone and was really worried what and how to do and the biggest problem was that where to start from. But it was too late to think about these things and I relocated to Bangalore in an apartment given by the company but it was a vacant one. No furniture, no bed and no arrangement of cooking and washing. They gave me a mattress so that I can sleep on it till I get my apartment furniturised. I shifted in with my luggage and started thinking what to do where to buy stuffs from and suddenly I thought that why not I should try the Quikr website and see if I can find anything of my use there.  

I opened the web browser and went to http://bangalore.quikr.com/ it directly landed me to Bangalore quikr site. I typed in single bed and to my surprise a list of around 10 to 12 single beds flashed on the screen. They were differently priced and were in different conditions. So I chose a few of them and called on the given contact number and got a meeting fixed in the evening. I just can’t explain how happy I was. I was finally going to get a bed for means no more sleeping on the floor. But it wasn’t the right time to celebrate because it was just the beginning and there were still a lot of items left to buy.

The next morning I woke up a bit early and made a list of items I was in urgent need of and then I browsed http://bangalore.quikr.com/ again and stated searching every item category by category. And started taking down numbers of the peoples selling them on a piece of paper so that I could call all of them one by one and ask about their products. So finally I made a list of items I was in need of and called the sellers on the given contact on Quikr. After 5 to 10 calls I got everything shorted out. All I had to do was meet the person bargain, negotiate and buy. At the end of the first week I was completed with everything of my needs.

Quikr doesn’t only save time but also a lot of money. I completed my shopping and spent very less money less than half if I would have bought them new. Quikr has a very well classified service. The site is user friendly and is very well catogriesed in different sections and sub sections making if hustle free.  It helped me setting up my bed room, kitchen and guest room. I bought a second hand LCD and got contacts of few mechanics who fixed my Dish Tv for me. Also got a contact of a plumber who ensured the smooth and clean flow of water it was rusty and leaking from few places. So finally I was done. Its generally said that a hose only turns home when you have a female with you to decorate and take care of it but here Quikr can help you turn your house into a home well it did for me. Why fikar just see Quikr.
