During my visits to one of the blogs, I came across the woes of the blogger who complained that worldclass T3 is built to welcome the visitors of Common Wealth Games and he was wondering why the station like VT, which handles more than 2 million commuters are given a raw deal.
He then spoke of a lady who was picking up the garbage with two pieces of cardboard and was not even given a something better to pick up the trash.
This sets me thinking. Some people are used to doing things which is most convenient for them and giving them something better is not going to make any difference to them, they might discard that fancy better stuff or even sell them off and continue to do what they are comfortable.
Don’t believe it?
I have this fruit seller who visits me regularly, climbing up two floors to give me his service. The other day he came to sell apples. I wanted half kilo but he had no 500gms-weight. He weighed one kilo apples and then distributed equally into two plates of the scale to give me my half kilo.
Clever!!
But silly me, I asked to buy half-kilo-weight to avoid this problem and he said it cost Rs40. I gave him money to buy one, thinking it will be nice if he had a proper way to measure his fruits.
The next time he visited me, I asked him if he had bought one, he still hadn’t. He said he had not yet found time to go to purchase it.
It has been four months now and he has still not bought it. He is comfortable weighing the fruits the way he is used to.
I want my money back. I feel cheated.
And since, I ask him whenever he knocks on my door, he has stopped visiting me. No more door service for me. Haaha!!
