Digital Age

Welcome to the digital age.  Computer, laptops, mobile phones are the most common things in a person's life.  Mobile phones have brought in a tremendous change in the ways and pattern of communication.  The transactions that used to take place in banks, which were earlier very much time consuming, are now much less time consuming. Thanks to the data been stored in computers and the speed with which the entire data gets processed was a thing to imagine in the past, but now a reality.

Cash withdrawal is not a problem at all anymore because more and more people are using ATM machine.  One of the interesting features of the ATM machine is that whether a person is educated or not it does not matter.  This is because if you are at an ATM which is working and the debit card that you are having has a matching pin number, then the use of ATM is very easy.  It can be used to look for balance amount and cash transactions.  But things are now far more beyond these routine things in the life of a common man.

Credit cards were always in use but in the last few years the use of credit card customers is on the rise.  More and more number of customers are using the credit cards for different purposes like shopping, buying expensive gift items and so on.  There is one more category of people, who are using credit cards with respect to the benefit that they will get in the future by doing such credit card transactions.  This category of people makes use of the credit card for online transactions like paying subscription fees, joining a website for which a minimum fees needs to be paid and so on.

Using credit card is very much of a common thing, but then there are people who make use of credit card only to maintain their old bad habits.  Like for instance a credit card is used to pay the party bills and of course the bill is going to be an extravagant amount.  This followed by the fact that credit card is also used to import expensive mobile handsets which as such are not available in India but then you can buy it from the international market.  The use of such phones which are purchased from international market before they are allowed to make an entry in Indian markets is very doubtful.

Credit card users also face their own share of problems.  Like some other person can easily make use of your credit card if he knows the 16 digit card number and other details, that which can be very easily accessed.  There are many such cases that have taken place and then what happens to the person whose credit card gets misused is a completely different thing.  The person has to either pay the amount for which his credit card is used.  This is because if he does so, he is free to do other transactions and if he does not pay the amount for which his credit card got misused then he will have to wait till the time upon which the credit card company makes a confirmed verification that the credit card is definitely misused.  The credit card company takes time to make a verification and confirmation and of course it does that but the customer has to face the trouble till the issue gets resolved.

Thus a credit card is good to use, but it can be used only when the use of credit card is must and absolutely essential.

TRYING TO EXTRACT THE BEST OUT OF LIFE

Every morning marks the start of a new day.   A new day begins with a ray of hope in the mind that today at least if not the whole thing a particular aspect related to the thing will get resolved.   Like for instance today if I do not get an interview call, still I will get a task to perform as a freelancer.   As one gets prepared and steps into the outside world life looks completely different, however, life continues.   Life continues with lots of ifs and buts, at the same point of time pain, agony and ecstasy become a part of the life.   At times there are ups and at times there are downs in the life of each individual. It is longing desire to get the thing that which was once thought upon, that which had once made a place in the mind and once that thing is achieved then the expectations of life become more.   It is like a kid who demands for a toy car at his birthday.   If the father fulfills his demand then on the next birthday the kid will deman...

Stepping out in the Right Direction

An overall improvement was what was thought of, was what was there in the mind, but never knew, at least did not even think of as to how the things will progress, whether or not there will be any growth that will be achieved.  This is also because a lot of things have changed since the last few years. Different is the nature of things, different from usual, definitely different, certainly different. As and when there seems to be a future, a future prospect, future about something, positive is the attitude towards life, at least that is what it seems to be. To move ahead is not only important, but to move ahead in the right direction is more importantly important.  So as one makes a progress there is an addition in the responsibilities that an individual was having up until now. A shift, a change, a movement, a gradual movement.  Within an organization for an individual it is possible to begin to work at a lower level, where he can not only learn about things as to ...

OPPORTUNITY COMES IN THE FORM OF A DIASTER

After pinning hopes on a certain aspect which is an individual’s strong point or after pinning a hope on a certain thing or an element a person does not get the desired results which in other words means that expectations are not met a person feels nervous and depressed.   There is an air of uncertainty that holds the grip of the person’s present state of mind and the future looks bleak.   At such times there is only a certain ray of hope the person is able to see, or make out from the existing conditions and that ray of hope becomes the next best available opportunity.   Once the opportunity is into picture the person tries to make the best out of it.   It is not that people do not meet with diaster.   But what is much more important to know is that that there are people, who have come out of diasters and made the best of their life and it is at times on the basis of an opportunity that comes along the way at times even unexpectedly.   Thus at times opport...
