The retail woes

I think the disruption due to Covid-19 is here to stay and it's going to be hard to gauge the impact this would have on us as a society or the livelihood. I tried going out on the second weekend in a row, and all that I could observe is a gloomy state of malls and the businesses inside. If there were a countable number of people out, probably 90% of them were the employees, facility and housekeeping guys. While a lot of effort has gone into maintaining safety and hygiene, it wasn't enough to zap the fear pandemic has had into our minds. As a consumer, the life may soon be usual for us with the digital and contactless door deliveries of the bulk of our demands, but the state of malls worry me if we are heading towards the end of the physical, experiential retail. Personally, for me, there is no replacement to the touch and feel the experience of the retail stores, then the question is that for how long these brand stores would be willing to incur losses and continue employment for its people. God bless us, not a pleasing sight at all

Agriculture - Oxygen for manyyyy

Talking on agriculture, About 75% of the Indian population lives in rural areas and about 80% of this population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood.Agriculture accounts for about 37% of the national income. The development of the rural areas and of agriculture and its allied activities thus becomes vital for the rapid development of the economy as a whole. Agricultural Productivity Even though India occupies the first or second position in the world in several crops in terms of area and production, it's rank in terms of productivity per hectare in the world is 52 for rice, 38 for wheat and much low in several other crops. The productivity of some crops is not only low but also remained stagnant over the years. The yield gap needs to be bridged through an integrated package of technology and agricultural policies to reap the untapped production potential, particularly, in rain-fed and other low productivity areas. What the INDIA INC says abt it? A...

New Journey!!! - Plannin to write my blog

Well, I m no Amitabh Bachhan, No Aamir Khan, tht ppl will be reading my blog or will be finding it worth reading. All i know is tht i am getting inspired from Ankur to write it. This is my opening post meant to be read for ppl close to me.   Its 10:10pm now, September 25 th 2008 , I have decided to replicate the high flying Blogging concept whilst I know I have the slightest listeners. Holidays have started, No great work to do these days, except getting inclined to TV and gossips, ‘Roz ki faaltu baatein’ would be the core activity in my list regularly till 5 th October.   Will be missing my college buddies, Its always a dependence tht gets created when you meet the same ppl regularly, The best and worst part of “Chhutiyan-Holidays’ is the “ending/missing of monotonous routine” , on one side I m happy tht this break would end up my daily 9 to 6 college routine and on the same time I will be / already started missing my friends and foes J . Tension mat lo, foes are an import...
