Despite the austentatious display of the churis and a very frank interview with babuji we tried to look for snags in the shop. Mesmerised by the exorbitant color of churis and quite impressed with the ethics that was practised by babuji in this profession, we tried to probe into the problems faced by them. The major snag that came to our notice was storage, disposal, hygine etc. I could very clearly make out that the things could be stored in a well organised way stored in proper places and displayed in a better frame but for babuji these were no obstacles or deference as they were concieved by me, maybe they have become used to it so they don't really find it a problem.  The problem taken up by me is storage. I found that babu ji and his disorganised ways were in harmony with each. The things that appeared deterrent  to me, but  these things were  part of his profession and he seemed to chime in with them. What I could percieve was storage is not a bigger problem but the oderliness. If the arrangement and orderliness is taken care of there will be enough storage in the shop. The mess and chaos created by boxes makes it look shabby. Had babuji maintained a certain orderliness in his way of maintaining his surplus goods the shop could have looked more tidy and organized. I think this could have been a beautiful blend of management and profession. He has stored some boxes behind the door displayed with bangles on the horizontal rods made from one edge to another, these boxes can be seen from the spaces between the rods, this degrades the grace of bangles giving it an untidy look . Some boxes are stored under the bench which gives the shop an untidy look and also a disorganised image of the shopkeeper.
I tried to give some solutions for this problem.
1) To cover the area under the bench so that things are stored under it and the covering makes it look good.
2) To make some place for the watercooler and their food in the almirah so it does not interrupt the walkways .
3) give some shelves on the inner side of the door of almirah.

These were coat effective solutions.

  1. Spellings! Spellings!

    Please use the dictionary when in doubt. its Ostentatious and not Austentatious. Colour is rich but not exorbitant. Certainly not in this context. Have you used the Thesaurus as I had suggested in class? If you did I would like to understand what kinds of problems you ran into because I see an issue with choice of words here Mansvi.

    Please edit a piece of writing before you submit it. I am afraid this piece despite all the reflection and thinking it presents falls short because of the number of spelling mistakes and the choice of words in here. It is not an insurmountable problem. Please use the dictionary to cross check. Run a spell check on a word doc before you submit. In case you have some other problem please get in touch with me and we can see how that can be resolved.
