Declaration: In continuation of my previous post on the Counterfeit Halocast . Yes this is the punch line the govt of India is using to awaken us- the consumers of India. Since we all know the mal-practices manufacturers and sellers have been pursuing in regard of making money without considering the ill effects of those on the consumers. This is more importantly due to the fact that the consumers are unaware of their rights. Nevertheless, it is never too late to be informed. The consumer protection act 1986 is a step that has been brought into force by the govt of india in order to as the name suggests, protect the consumers. It defines CPA as- An Act to provide for better protection of the interests of consumers and for that purpose to make provision for the establishment of consumer councils and other authorities for the settlement of consumers' disputes and for matters connected therewith. The rights of the consumers underlined under this act are: 1. Right to Safety : The right...

Another Women's day is here. International Women's day I must rather say.. Celebrated to honour women all across the planet. Honour my foot!! But my question is does the world ‘International’ exclude India? They treat women like a piece of @%#$ and celebrate women's day to cover that all up. They will stand up and bow to the women power on March 8 every year to justify the rest 364 days of the year. The gentry of the society will hold seminars, award functions to show respect to women liberation, honour their achievements and celebrate their abilities. As soon as this day passes, things get back to normal. Indians are big time hypocrites. Their mythology, their culture tells them to treat women like goddess- they worship young girls in the days of Navratri, and as soon as it is over, they do not hesitate to kill their unborn and even born baby girls in the greed of a son who would lead them to Moksha. How justified is it to kill a living being in the desire of a...

Disclaimer: Originally posted at Bare Twaddle _____________________________________________________________________________________ On an Industrial visit with my class (I am the lecturer, though most of my student s are elder than myself, they all have had work experience before joining in for MBA) got a chance to visit the sub-urbs of the city. The scroching sun in the rainless monsoons was making us all look for drinking water with each passing 10 minutes. The Merchandise Shop located in the locality was making money, selling "mineral water bottles" n "Colas" to the thirsty crows on the Industrial visit. As I emptied the tumbler carrying with myself, I heard some disturbances among the students.. I cornered to interrupt and ask what the matter was. Shipra seemed annoyed with the rest on being teased as "Ms. Super Hygenic" for she were asking them not to buy the "so called bottled water" for it not being actually the " Bagpiper "...

As I walked towards the cosmetics counter, the girl behind the desk (trying to chipkaao something or the other) literally ran towards me and said "Ma'am ye product dekhiye- aapki skin type ke liye best hai, use to kar ke dekho- aapki sari tanning hat jayegi- Ma'am- take my word- laao main try karwati hoon aapko". She was trying to sell me a fairness product. I mean what the hell!! I am simply in love with my complexion. I am thankful for being blessed with a perfect wheatish complexion and I have no intentions whatsoever to get gori or gorier. I have no personal grudges against these sales girls- they get paid for identifying the potential customers to buy their fairness enhancing products- they are doing what their job is. Neither do I curse these FMCG companies cuz I understand they are doing their business- they just hit the target right- minting money taking advantage of the firangi procreated complex in Indians regarding their complexions. Gimme a break dude!! i...
