Ingenious Way to Stimulate Supermarket Sales!

Sense of Freshness enhanced....

Last month a Hi-Tech new supermarket opened in Topeka , Kansas:

It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh.


Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.




When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent of fresh mown hay.




In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal-grilled steaks with onions.




When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.




The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh-baked bread and cookies.


I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.

Don't be serious, be sincere

Don't be serious, be sincere
~ by Chetan Bhagat
Don’t just have career or academic goals, set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up ?
It’s ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, enjoy with your friends, fall in love, little fights with your loved Ones. We are people, not programmed devices
