Ok! now before you think any further, this aint any joke. May be consciously we may not agree to each and every point mentioned above.. but some where in inner concious we all would agree what's represented here is a part of picture we face every day!. May be not crossing border to other countries.. but witnessing such cut through infiltration in various shapes sizes and colours. What fuels it up? give it a thought.... and share me as comments to this blog.

ah! i helped you.

ever met some one who claims to be there for you to hlep you.. does the deed and at the end you realised they exactly opposite of what you thought to be done at the first instance. not sure what to do with these kind of people.

I had helped a customer to choose a television for herself..just due to lack of funds she had to go away and come back later time with money to get herself  the best television for her. Though she did not knew much about televisions, I had managed to explain her all the differences and options she had and she was really happy with whole of the product and package. So happened that when she returned back, I was busy with another customer. At this very moment, a so called helpfull colleague of mine comes and agrees to help the customer with the finalisation of whole of the pruchase. After 45 minutes of this conversation I saw that lady walking out of the store empty handed.. found something fishy and went upto my colleague and inquired about it. He proudly proclaimed! "Ah mate.. I helped you"... kept me guessing.

Further later only to realise he had confused that lady further.. who just wanted to pay for the television and enjoy it went empty handed with all the money  in her bag..intact. Feel pity for the person who had futile runs to the shop with nothing in her hands even at the end of the day .... and i still wonder how did that colleague of mine helped me!?!?
