Shangai!

My father returned home this evening from Shangai. He was there for a business meet with few other senior officers of the company. When I saw my father coming out of the air port, I noticed a second bag with him.

Wondering what it could be I welcomed Daddy home with a warm smile. He huged me and broke the news to me. He said-“ I did not bring my cloths back! This is all that I shopped in Shangai and Hong Kong.”

My face went pale thinking how is it possible for anybody to shop in a foreign land so much that one has to let go of his cloths and buy an extra suitcase as well????
And while I was struggling with all this in my pea size brain my father started to narrate his experience in the Shangai market which runs as follows-

There are many men and women who walk around that market area selling things. The funny thing about them is that their only objective is to sell. At what price is secondary[that wass mostly determined by their moods]. One friend of my father sat in a shop and ended up buying 5 pieces of the same item. Minutes later he realized that he can buy one more of at a much cheaper prize. Traditionally that what is done. But this gentleman refused to lower the price of that same commodity.
To my father’s surprise , when that shopkeeper was asked to make the deal on the same price he still refused it. This person was now selling same thing for a higher praise!!!!!

Was it because the seller understood that his product has a good demand among this Indian group or was it just him I can’t say!! But something like this has never happened to me. But I must say this is a pure form of business.

I am filled with surprise and have lack of knowledge to be able to write more about this particular market that my father went to. This gives me a good reason to put an end to this now!!

I have to say that after LV[USA]Shangai market is the place I want to spend half of my total assets and get a taste of those luxury items.

A luxury good, broadly speaking, is any product that a buyer will pay a premium for, above and beyond its utility. Luxury is ... an inessential but desirable item or a state of extreme comfort or indulgence. What sets luxury brands apart is that they command a premium without clear functional advantages over their counterparts.... This makes the luxury market particularly interesting because it represents consumption at its most hedonistic and seemingly irrational. Purchasing [is done] for the personal pleasure it provides, despite the financial cost that I am ready to part with.

## My Law Exams Got Over Today ##

I just got over with my exams of LL.B 2nd year. This year’s exam was nothing like a regular exam. All the students had met each other a year back during the 1st year exam and were well acquainted with one another.

As a result almost everyone knew where and with whom to sit with and had the same set of friends every day. Why I mention this is because when a person crosses a level when he/she is emotionally stressed because of the Test that is to be taken, things are much different.

My tests became a source of entertainment and everyday wake up with a smile thinking what next is going to come up today. It’s true that every person is unique in his/her own special ways. And when there are about 9 to 10 people ganging up together before an exam, things like stressed faces, style of eating, the way a person laughs etc etc becomes a laughing gas for many.

Of course there should be one person to instigate the whole funny scenario noticeable. And that person was there in our gang all the time. It is because of this very person that today I am forced to write this piece.

This girl who is my class mate is the most wired person I have ever come across. The lady has the audacity to talk any crap to any body and still manages to get away with it. I always thought that i was good with dealing people not realising that there are some who are actually blessed with this talent. It surprises me how a laughing face can get across anybody in this society.

Ho w difficult is it to laugh all the time? It’s not! But why is it that I can’t do something of that sort and she can? How can she make such a first impression that draws attention to her? But its not negative attention; rather it’s mostly a positive one.
My husband asked me will i be able to become a good lawyer in years to come! I sat thinking what if I manage to clear the last year will it give me a road that will lead me to the path where once every good lawyer of this country walked? Today as i was sitting in my examination hall, I took a look around and thought – “if these many people clear all the 3 years, then we will all become lawyers!”

So that meat i am going to be one among so many? What is it that one quality or certificate which i have to use all my life to be able to find the right direction and to be able to complete my voyage?

It strongly feel it is this talent to deal with people that’s really going to make a difference. Things like regional language, quality to jell with others etc are the important things to be kept in mind. Does that mean – this lady will find the road lead by the great Law Experts?? I don’t really know.

For I am the best and still dream to lead the Road to Success!!
