  • Selling garments online?

    I was tempted to title it Selling Fashion Online?

    But then that would be too vast and my point wouldn’t hold.

    When making a garment, the garment-maker or conceptualizer or creator has certain measurements in mind that go beyond the commonest measures of S, M, L, XL, XXL and so on.

    Strangely, most fashion ecommerce managers don’t bother with those measurements. And also complain about returns.

    I don’t see anyone working in that direction either. Most are busy uploading yet more SKUs and on-boarding yet more garment sellers.

    Readymade Fashion doesn’t mean you pay attention to the look but you don’t pay attention to the measurements.

  • Big Software

    How big a part does big software take from an employee’s working time every day?

    Is there a way to compare such times?

    My hypothesis is that an organization that demands a lot of such time every day is already less effective or will be less effective very soon.

    As good as the argument above sounds, it still feels vague but important nonetheless. Still a few terms to be defined and observed.

  • Daikin The Air Specialist

    I spotted this in today’s newspaper.

    The Air Specialist?

    In matters of air-conditioners, this was the most shocking realizations for me: the split-conditioner in my studio doesn’t let the outside-air in or inside-air out.

    Means one keeps breathing the same air until windows and doors are opened and there is sufficient wind to circulate the air, and bring the air from outside to mix with the air inside.

  • Akshay Organizers Pvt Ltd & Cheating Buyers

    Sharing here a letter I wrote to the members of my office complex.

    It’s called Primate Complex and it is built by Akshay Organizers Pvt Ltd. The directors are Babubhai Sheladia and Tushar Sheladia.

    letter-to-primate-members_7th-april-2023Download

    If you are a property buyer in Ahmedabad, especially in the west or north-west areas, definitely check the names of property developers. Do a thorough study of their earlier projects and then commit to buy.

    There are many points that you may want to check apart from the properties and silly features shown to you.

    Apart from what you could sense from the letter above, there are many other serious matters too in my office complex. I do not know how much time it will take to sort these out, but it’s surprising for me to discover that other members don’t bother about how they’ve been cheated by the builder. They look happy to me.

  • Attention to Detail

    I see it mentioned in almost every job description I read.

    Do school or college teachers utter those words while talking with students? Wait, I can’t remember one instance from my school or college times when I heard a teacher talk about it.

    Are the shoe-makers paying attention to detail?

    More questions…

    What exactly is detail?

    Next question is, which details matter? Is there any detail that doesn’t matter? How does one manage to answer such questions satisfactorily at all?!

    One cover-up or measure of successful attention to detail is sales. If sales happen, everyone assumes, attention to detail has been paid. And yet, is that it?

  • Is injustice relative?

    The builder has cheated the buyers. I am also one of the buyers. I understand what kind of cheating has happened and is still happening. I am making efforts to figure a way.

    Advice given to me:

    Compare injustice to you with injustice to others; find your happiness out of injustice that hasn’t happened to you.

    Wow! Unbelievable Indians!

    Let’s substitute the word ‘injustice’ with ‘cheat’.

    Compare cheating done with you, with cheating done with others; find your happiness out of cheating that hasn’t happened with you.

    That triggers questions:

    What kind of cheating are you good with? What kind of cheating you aren’t good with? Based on what do you decide that you ought to accept being cheated and enjoy all the same?

  • Shadow Partner

    Is there a person whose descriptive title may be Shadow Partner?

    In my mind, this person is your partner and shadows you all the time.

    When you prepare a catalog for purpose of ecommerce, you need a shadow partner. I am not sure, if shadow partners work in plural.

    I will write more about this. Let me find one at least, first. Well, I had one. That shadow partner though left too soon. Did she even know she was a shadow partner? If she had known, would she have left?

  • Internet is governmental

    Ecommerce is demanding.

    The amount of information that has to be submitted to make all the little things work on Facebook or Google or other platforms that promise great business, absolutely mind-numbing.

    The fact, that so much information has to be dealt with and submitted, makes these information-based companies so governmental.

  • Both Indiamart and Justdial have pathetic backends. Just pathetic!

    But seems like they win coz of their agreements with Google. They typically rank high in search results even if the quality of results is not great so often.

  • Creativity Questions on Quora

    Somehow Quora is showing me plenty of questions related to ‘developing creativity’.

    Some question-submitters ask for techniques to develop creativity.

    What that means is they’ll first get a hang of the techniques and then be able to do creative things.

    If that’s the way it is, it is strange.

    Creativity is entwined with moving the hands, the body, the legs, the thoughts.

    Instead of asking, just decide to make something on your own. And then do everything to give shape to whatever you’ve decided.

  • Space Compression

    Virtual World

    (Online) Gaming

    Videogame

    What are the opposite respectively for each of these expressions?

    Physical World / Real World

    (Offline) Gaming? Should be a Cricket Ground or Football Ground!

    Non-video Game?

    It gets weird as we think how easily some expressions slip out of our mouth and are understood just as easily.

    One of the greatest losses in cities is this compression of space. No urban planner or politician has been able to do much about it. No community either, if one can find such a thing in any city.

    Physical containers, unlike the websity containers, are so often illogical.

  • Modular Education

    Categories are containers. It seems that talk is possible only in categories.

    Broad categories = Big containers

    Broad categories may be equated with generalizations.

    When we are in trouble though, specifics may help us more than generalizations.

    Specific = Small Categories = Small containers

    Children ought to be placed in small containers of learning more often than in big containers.

    Just as a software is built up of modules, youngsters may be built through modular education.

  • Hormonally-charged

    Hormonally charged youngsters, making a hue and cry about sustainability, don’t understand things that reside in their neighborhood, have no power or even inclination to shape their neighborhood, and have no awareness of how things happen. What kind of education has informed them, or ruined them?!

  • Perfect Floor Plan?

    Does this ad look different to you? Different from other real estate ads plastered all around?

    I liked this ad. Kept the newspaper for a couple of days before posting here. And then it struck me.

    There’s the interior, and there’s the immediate exterior.

    Interior or exterior, interior and exterior, it’s the area of beautiful playful space that counts.

    How much space, interior and exterior, is your money buying for you? That’s the moot question.

    Is your space allowing you to station a huge personal table to spread your wares and play?

    Is your exterior space allowing you to…

  • Smart Maintenance

    Since smartness is the in-thing for the last few years or perhaps a decade now, I must write this reminder.

    Things demand maintenance.

    Things that move and sense, and are called ‘smart’, when they break down may reveal our dumbness.

    How is that? Coz the opposite of smart is dummmmmmb, simmmmmmple!

    Invention of smart maintenance of smart things may change it perhaps. Let’s wait until that point, yeah?

  • Bullet Point Videos

    I got an idea that theories available in books should be converted into dances. Outrageous, no?

    Bullet points got converted into Youtube videos.

    Folks are watching Youtube videos like mad and bullet-point channels are doing so well.

    Are you good at bullet-points? You can become a Youtube sensation.

    It is criminal not to record your experiences of interacting with machines like Google, Indiamart, Ebay, Justdial and such. Criminal.
