Old wine in a new bottle

Old wine in new bottle .

Sharing an observation.
Even though we have two vegetable shops ,local farmers used to sell vegetables,fruits outside our apartments .
We live 30 kms outside the chennai city and lucky to get fresh stock of locally grown vegetables .

Yesterday,we saw one taxi owner  converted his car into a veggie shop.and it is not a big news But his approach was very good

We bought all the fresh vegetables and asked him can we get these missing varieties tomorrow.
Smiligly he said sir ,i became a nomad .i only source my limited variety of vegetables from my area and supply .
if i supply more or less the same item on a daily basis  ,people will reject me
So in our area ,i have identified 25 big complexes and planned to visit one by one .may be i will come here after 20 days .

Appreciated him.
What a practical way to address market needs and sell his stock .

It may not be a new technique.
Street vendors used to do this . He has  adapted and finding his own market that is need of the hour .

One  can go for conventional methods or digital tools to find out  markets, but don't over look the proven methods .
Any scope of remodelling in the current scenerio to survive or scale up.

Old is always Gold .think of today's gold rates.

Sweet little kid

Varun.Sweet little kid. Let us invoke the learner in us. Let us learn from everywhere. A small story. In my apartment floor, there are 6 flats., that consists of families speaking different languages. Telugu Kannada Bengali Badaga (one of the languages of Nilagiri hills belt) Tamil -2 families. A cute 2+ age, a little boy named  Varun of one of the Telugu speaking family visits all of us daily. He identifies the small things and repeats what we say. Suppose we ask him, show us the Buddha statue in Tamil and he understands and take us there. He may be playing and running inside  around for 15 minutes  or so, interacts with us in Tamil sometimes .we are also recollecting our Hyderabad days and try our little Telugu also. Similarly, he moves to all the other flats almost equally and in particular,  he spends most of the time with little elder children  of a Kannada speaking family . Varun's father told us that he sometimes uses some typical words pi...
