The Dilemma




All characters appearing in this work
are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental.


It was pouring heavily ... She was stuck up, today the skies were in a merciless mood. I must get home..... My kid would be hungry.. waiting for me. Her life reflecting on her, through the gathered water, No she thought..... I won't let my kid suffer like me, I will do my best, work 2-3 more households, to provide for her online education.

On the other side of the road, a young girl was trying to count the raindrops, through the windshield. While her parents debated on the effectiveness of online education.

On the 3rd floor of the society next to the road... A YouTuber was being shaped up. Drawn to the screen like a moth to the flame, he was binging on some Vlogs.

At the entrance of the society, sat the watchman, speaking on a video call, to his family far away. His kids giving him an update of their progress in school, and also in the meanwhile trying to compare the colour of the pouring water to water in their bottles.

The shopkeeper trying to teach his kid, Maths, he had hardly touched a laptop before. Probably I need to learn from my kid, he thought.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As she waited for her mother, a part of her wanted to go out and get drained in the rain. While another part was really scared of getting cold due to it, and then getting a sound trashing.

She thought it was easier to count the waterdrops than getting to the conclusion on the debate.

The YouTuber, let the world burn, I would probably shoot it and put it on my channel.

Our father is having a gala time, getting an opportunity to go out there and get drenched in the rains of Mumbai, Might be he would just bump into Shahrukh Khan.

The kids thought " such a DUMBO !!" , I think i need to take over and look after the shop.

Sometimes things are much simplier....😊

        Damn!! It was a usual day for Aakash, driving to office on a bright sunny day. Stuck up in the traffic , he cursed his stars, and paid visit to all the mothers, fathers through cuss words. Looked at his watch it was 10.30 am already, he had a call at 11.00 am. Things have not been the same lately for Aakash. Mahesh his boss , has been baying for his blood lately, spitting fire whenever he got the chance, actually a pain in the a**.His arm candy, Neha thought she owned the world. Had to wait for an appointment to co-ordinate with the self- proclaimed diva, if Mahesh spit fire, she was his pet little dragon 🐉 ,sometimes a bi**h, actually most of the times.                                             Damn you Boss!! Aakash was post grad. In marketing from the univ of Gautemala , he was stuck up in sales ,as most of us are.He had tried a lot to get something meaningful out of his 15 years of education experience , which most of us try to do. Frankly, I have yet to see someone actu

Shaitan of Sunderban 🐅

It was at cracking dawn that Shahej Mondol woke up, for his daily routine. As always he first checked on his 5 months old son, before starting off his day. Shahej had been profusley thanking God every single day for blessing him with a baby boy , after two failed attempts, resulting in girls. As he neared the bed , he had specially prepared for his baby boy, he saw pug marks on the ground. Screaming in horror he ran towards the veranda , only to find the body of his beloved in a mutilated and unmovable state thrown into the trees. It was the early morning of 5th May 1992, Debnath had just finished his early morning jog,when he recieved a call, it was from the forest department informing to leave for Sunderbans ASAP.  Debnath was an ageing war veteran,he had the distinguished honour to have served the country in both the 1965 and 1971 wars. With all the medals, applause he also carried a souvenir - a limping leg, due to a bullet wound. Looking at death in the eyes and punching it in the

Customer experience(CX)

Image
Today with the advancement of technology and increase in some tough competition, it has become a necessity to deliver a supreme customer experience(CX). Delivering a great customer experience need not necessarily mean a high-end solution, it could be as simple as sending a greeting card on his/her anniversary, birthday. A customer need not necessarily be a "consumer". A customer can play different roles such as employee, patients, citizen, buyer, seller and many more. There is the concept of UI/UX, where UI is "user interface", and UX is "user experience".UI is more of the graphical interface and design, whereas UX is a bigger and wider concept. UX requires out of the box thinking, for example, the use of a mouse to click the computer screen, touchscreen for smartphone. A great example of innovating the UI to deliver a great UX is SAP FIORI. The mobile application platform designed by SAP, to provide a seamless, simplified and responsive experience. Below
