I don't seek salvation.
I don't seek to be set free.
I don't seek divine pleasure.
As an inconsequential dot in this cosmos, I want to help where I can and avoid harm when possible.
I don't seek to be remembered or celebrated. I seek to make a difference - tiny or big.
"Please give us business."
Indian suppliers keep asking for business.
So we did.
We shared our files and samples.
Then they ghosted us.
After multiple follow-ups, they came back quoting 5-6x higher.
A PCB we import from China for $0.50 was quoted at $2.50-$3.20 in India.
That's more than our entire product cost.
Even we want to stop imports, but how can we?
With these prices, average quality and ghosting..
Right now: Importing is survival.
Comment if you can solve this problem.
Supplier doesn't find the market worth going through the trouble.
Buyer doesn't get quality.
Never ending sad story.
There have been instances where I was willing to spend but the product simply didn't exist.
Met an Indian furniture importer in Foshan City, China. He recently paid a bribe of βΉ10 lakhs per container for 9 x 40HQ containers in Chennai. He is waiting for the release of a few more containers still in the negotiation stage. Furthermore, he said they are stopping new furniture shipments to India from the first week of July due to BIS implementation in August.
Post COVID remote work emergence, I wanted to buy headphones, I had to import this from UK and talk to seller twice, wasn't that straightforward. Just didn't find a close match in India.
If you don't want to be part of an expirement, at least don't buy new vehicles for wants. For needs - try private or public conveyance if it suits you.
So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.
@EurekaforbesIN Shall I dispose off the old purifier which your staff has failed to collect since they've installed the new purifier? Assure that you won't penalize us for doing so.
@mainbhiengineer 60-80% of those DINK couples on SM have comorbidities which makes them incapable of producing children without taking external help like IVF or similar treatments. They are all suffering from lifestyle diseases and won't be able to produce a child anyway. So most of them cope.
90% DINK or SINK couples by choice in 30s will be feeling purposeless and lonely in 40s.
In 30s, you are young, newly married, a lot to explore about each other, you'll have friends who are either single or newly married, you can have company with similar types of people. But as time passes, things get boring, your friends become parents, their priorities change, they're no more pack the bag and let's travel the world, they are now busy in dropping kids to school and bringing them back home, their travel schedules dependent on their kid's school schedule.
And suddenly you start feeling lonely, purposeless in life, you don't know why you're earning, where to spend and all. Human is a social animal as they say, you can't live in isolation and be happy forever.
Don't fall for instagram DINK couples life, that works only on Instagram and that too for a limited time.
