A Women and Her Shop


We had EAT-OUT on our office cafeteria. Basically it will serve the Juice, Magi, Sandwich etc.. it was so comfortable with all the employees that, if they came without the breakfast or they were hungry they can go to cafeteria and have some thing. Since there Wireless also works, people used to enjoy. As per my knowledge income was good for EAT-OUT owner also.

One day suddenly shop was closed no one was there on the shop to serve. i thought, may be that guy is on leave; my open in couple of days. since we have not got any update from admin team, i believed that it has not been closed.
days, weeks and month is over, but no sign of any one and finally one day they have removed the complete shop. i was surprised why admin has not given any notice to the users. I was blaming whenever i get the opportunity. bcoz i used spend almost 200-300rs per month. I was happy to spend there instead of going outside and waste 30-40min.

After some days a we were having the tea on cafeteria, a women was enquiring about how to setup the shop, where is the power point, where to keep fruits...etc..she did not look like a she can setup the kind of shop which was there earlier or batter than that. She had innocent face, she was speaking very politely, married, if someone shouts, she will defiantly cry there only; such women wanted to setup the shop in our cafeteria. I was there to have the tea, once i finished i left the area.and was expecting some kind of mail form admin team, to introduce the new EAT-OUT.

i didn't get.

As always, we went to cafeteria for having tea; and EAT-OUT was open!. was like Ooo My GOD.They have reduced the space given to last time than now, it is too small to stand there and do some work for her. all the fruits and other stuffs has been kept neatly & properly on the old rack itself, and amazingly she was standing in the shop(if she sits she will not be visible) all around the clock. she didn't even asked for chair.

I have observing shop for almost week; i don't find any good business she would have made. and i was think if she continues like this she will close the shop soon.

i just started, what i would have made if i wanted to setup EAT-OUT in any office.

1. Before the week of setting up, i would have made admin team to send the information about my shop.
2. Would have distributed the broachers and posted the posters in cafeteria
3. Would have made new design, so that users will come to see the shop
4. Would inaugurated the shop such way that at least 100 users would have been there and on that occasion i would distributed the sweets and other junkies.
5. Would have made some start up offers to the users.
And so on..

Everybody makes the business but very few will succeed.
that's why i always believe,


Winners does not do different things, they do things differently.

A visit to ‘DREAM HOME’


These are all just latters, No relation with anyone in this world and it is not REAL, Just a DREAM.

Some time in future,
Sunday, as usual I was surfing on the net, plan to go for some movie in the evening.. going through the movie index couldn’t find any movie, finally i thought I will go for a ride on my bike and have some clicks(photos) somewhere ..and started thing about the What to do for lunch …
On the Gtalk I observed that unread mail count increased from 99 to 100, when I saw the mail, I was surprised mail was from one of my old friend and with the invitation to visit his home.
First, was confused who’s this guy..once I thought might be SPAM.
Again I read the mail carefully , finally I realized that…

Oh! It is Praabhat..! My old friend, we worked together for 3 years in TEJAS. Long time, I have not met him and there was no communication since I left the Bangalore 2 years back and joined Microsoft in gurgaon

Invited him for chat and I got him online. After some time of usual chat I decide to visit his newly built HOME/Village on Next week end. I booked air ticket to hubli on Friday afternoon, and requested him to come to Airport, since I am not aware about the city and either the way to his home. On mutual hey-bye we closed our chat session.

Prabhat is from Western Ghats, he always use to tell about his dream house which he wanted to build, and always we use to make fun out of it. And it gone like that, we never taken his dream as serious thing and I think that made him to stick to his dream and expand, not sure but the invitation says really something..

Am really excited to visit, and was wondering what done it that dark village.
I canceled my Movie plan and instead of that I planned to go for shopping and preparer for travel. I found that my CAM battery is gone bad, need to purchase new one.
Then suddenly I realized that it is 2.30PM and I have not had Lunch yet. Closed laptop and went for lunch

Day has come, I have packed all things required for 3 days travel, I was not sure where the hell he is(his home) even though the web site which was there on the invitation shown me a kind like UK, or US…was prepared for all, and for all seasons…
I called my friend to inform, that I am leaving and catch me on HUBLI Airport.

Me : Hi Dude ..am leaving now from my home. Is there anything you want me to bring..?
Prabhat : Oh.Good!, Ya of course bring your cam and come with open heart..
And be ready for surprise ..!?
Me : OK fine, catch u on Airport bye. Am getting late
Prabhat : Bye

I got the Cab and travelled to airport. My flight was on 3.30pm so I have to be there before 3, just run the script to cross check everything which I need whether I have taken or not. OUTPUT came as Done and Nothing Missing ..
On the Airport I have finished all my formalities and I moved plan and sat on my seat. Thinking that in hour I my going to meet my best friend, going to spend 3 days in his home. I knew that he has done lot many things and he wanted show to me, otherwise he will not call me to his home. Was thinking what and all he would have done, what will be the surprise for me …@#?$%
Suddenly,

Girl: Excuse me ..!
Me : ( I saw a beautiful girl want to sit beside me ) I gave her the way to pass through and she sat on her seat, started looking at me..
I just turned my face to understand ..whats going on
Girl : I LOVE YOU
