This is related to Silver Arc Easy Day in ludhiana near aarti cinema chowk.
Store people prefer Bulk buyer, Shopkeepers instead of retail customers. I saw a man who was buying Surf Excel. Can you imagine he bought 160 bags of 1.7 kg each. One guy was buying maggie. He bought 88 packets. One guy broke all records, 267 Pears soaps and 255 Dove soaps. One guy was either buying or selling currency coins. Entire section staff was busy to assist those 5 guys. Nobdy was there to assist other customers. One old lady was trying to find a trolley or bucket. But nobody frm staff was there.
When i approached Store Manager he wsnt available. Staff directed me to Mrs. Harmeet Kaur, Asset and Customer Care. She was around 35 age group. But behaved like an immature. When i showed my interest to buy such stock or quantity, gurmeet kaur denied everything and she directed us to go to Mr. Raina or Mr. Shishir. LoL. Both were not available. I asked one security guard. He told me that store sells 65% thru these shopkeepers only. So the staff has been deployed to assist them. In the meantime Harmeet Kaur came back very fast and asked me to get out as i was asking questions. She didnt give me complaint book. She told me that i can meet her there or can call her when his boss will be there. She also gave me her contact number 8427778360.

Do you know the system of Indian Education under MHRD and CBSE. Where 5 year baby who studies in first class having 8 different subject as a Environment Science, Hindi, Punjabi, English, Math, Computer Science, General Knowledge, Grammar of secondary classes and Arts in during 8 period times by seven all subject teacher.
It is notable that the child wake up early morning at 5.30 AM to board his/her bus to school. After 2 hours journey this child reach at school at 8.00 O’clock After school time in evening he study at home till 6.00 O’clock. What is this? This is not a child labor in the name of education.
A adult human being in govt. dept. go to his work at 10.00 O’clock and return home at 5.00 O’clock. In comparison of this a minor 5 year old child who learns to speak two years earlier bears mentally and physically torture in the his tender age.
In higher education there is objective type question in examination. Why not objective type question and answer in primary classes. Why do CBSE education pattern compel to child cram poem and essay without knowing children their meaning.
In modern electronic time era it is clear that it need not to cram anything only click the mouse and get every subject in internet site. Even Phd students in these days do not sit in the library to search books for thesis they only click the mouse and get all notes of thesis and paste it in book and get Phd degree.
So there must be change in primary education sly bus according to children quotient knowledge. The distance of primary children school not be far off more than two kilometer from their homes.
In India if there is any govt. Childern Welfare dept. MHRD dept. rules and laws or Supreme court for children who can take appropriate step to reduce the burden of books from the mind of 5years old small babies. I think………….
