Christmas Shopping

By starting my day, by reading the news online I ended up seeing bad news in my own country and thinking where we all Nepalese can fight for JUSTICE. Sometime it’s really frustrating to see poor Nepalese innocent people losing their lives.

According to kantipur news,
“KATHMANDU, Dec 15 - At least 11 people were killed in army firing at Chundevi temple in Nagarkot, eastern outskirts of Kathmandu around 11:30 pm Wednesday night. The Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) confirmed the incident Thursday morning and said that details were still awaited. "The incident is very unfortunate," an RNA official told Kantipur Online.
"Casualties have been reported but we don't know the exact numbers yet," he added. Meanwhile, state-owned radio Nepal quoting RNA spokesman Umesh Bhattarai this morning confirmed the incident. "We are investigating the Nagarkot incident and will let the public know about it," the Radio Nepal quoted Bhattarai as saying. “

Oh!! Well, hopefully we all can bring “PEACE” to our country. Anyway, other than that bad news I am going to have good news too. My parents were not here (USA) in my engagement ceremony, you all know about that from my previous posting. Today my parents got the DVD and some pictures of my engagement that we sent from here. They were so proud of me by seeing that engagement ceremony on DVD and pictures. It took almost 13 days for the package to reach back home from here.

In the afternoon my fiancé and I went to Warwick mall to do some Christmas shopping. Although, we didn’t buy that much, we both enjoyed checking items in the different stores. And found out some of the items that I was looking for were not at the store but were available online. Then I found out, it was cheaper online than buying from the store at the mall. Even after I calculated the shipping and handling charges I found them cheaper online than buying at the store . So I decided to buy from online. From this experience, I figured out the importance of “Marketing”. By majoring marketing and management in my undergrad and again now concentrating on marketing in my MBA, It makes sense to me. People need to make some money in the holiday seasons. When you were in the rush or if you needed that item very badly, nobody cares where it’s cheaper…online or at the stores. People ended up buying whatever and wherever they see the products.

Oh!! Christmas time, I wish we were always going to have a Christmas because you don’t want to leave from mall. It was as always very crowded and you can see all the new items, people taking pictures with Santa and wrapping gifts. We even don’t know how many miles we walked in the mall but we definitely know after we get back home because we were tired of walking.

After I got home, I watched TV little while and as always I am now hunting some jobs online.
