Hi,
We are facing recession and market is fluctuating,in this scenario one cannot
predict what is coming next,people are getting sacked,some MNC is even offering
an halfpaid leave for the employee who wants to do that extra work for society by
joining an NGO. Well all this we read in news paper what is reported in it.
So leaving all this aside I along with a friend thought of having a good cup of
tea on our return journey from a meeting with a client,which of course was quite
disappointing again due to recession and we were asked to stop supply of goods and
also to cut down the price of product we supply,this was quite bothering as our
40% of turn over is depended on it,so just to freshen up we were having an hot tea
on side of hosur road,and while doing this we happened to note that this tea stall
owner was doing an amazing business he used to make atleast 20 cups every half an hour
and going by his asking price of Rs.2-00 per cup he making an Rs.80-00 per hour
and per day Rs.800-00 and Rs.24000-00 every month,expenses/investment put
togather and he still make cool 12000-00 and still be the owner,when I asked
about the market recession and how is his business still doing ok?
fast comes the reply "sir,I am very simple man,I would not know what you are talking
about,will you stop drinking tea?in fact you drink more while you are under tension
and believe me this will be more economy that having an cup of RC or Teachers"
He goes on to add more" many a times I see a good english speaking gentleman come
here for a drink,and while talking on his cell,one can make out he is not in
mood,but still he will order one more drink" looking at us and pointing our cup
he says"now you tell me in what will your market's recession will effect me,you have
to simply adjust maad bittu hogta irbeku" and goes to make one more tea for new customer.
I felt little relieved thinking My problem is not that bothering after all,at least I have an
running business and still going,so just take life as it comes and majja maadi.
will come back with more of story like this.till then enjoy a nice cup of tea
forget RC and ask your teacher for better advice.
