Collaborate

via Daily Prompt: Collaboration  have you been working on something independently and wished you had some one who thinks like you , who could share you responsibility exceptionally well as you do?

now this is the main reason people collaborate .

i have always believed in team work , be it your personal life or professional career . we need to collaborate with various people to achieve an objective , a milestone in an efficient way .

look how amazingly collaboration works. you collaborate with you partner in household works, your children collaborate with you in their study time , you collaborate with various family members for important decisions to be taken ..and the list goes on..

would it be efficient if you had to manage everything alone ?

it could be , but sometimes time-consuming and wasting to many efforts which otherwise could have been completed soon with collaboration and the remaining time could be used for any other productive work .

think why here in the blogging world, writers collaborate .

they find like-minded people who are extremely good in their own way . but have different set of followers . what happens when they collaborate ? they are sharing the information with more no. of readers .

think of a wedding ceremony, festivals, any other important occasions in the family .

how will they execute all the plans so efficiently ?? how will they organize everything.

it’s all a collaborative efforts of their own team defined for specific purpose .

i do not say living independently is bad. i believe in that .. but no person is 100% independent.. we need interdependence sometimes to live a great life .

 

what are your thoughts on that ? comment me back

 

 

2% charges on debit card swipe. RBI Rules

Folks ,

yesterday i had been to a shop to purchase clothes for me .

the bill was around 1000 INR and shopkeeper asked for mode of payment .

the moment i said “card”, he said there will be 2% charges extra on the bill .

i asked “why” and he replied because banks will charge us for this .

I tried to tell him that you are not supposed to charge customers for whatever additional charges YOU have to pay to bank.

he kept arguing . he said this rule is not yet implemented.

i showed him the RBI rule , but still he was not convinced . i told him this time i will pay by cash , but next if i visit your shop and pay by card , and if you charge me extra for nothing, i will not keep quite .

OK here is the thing. banks and merchants have mutual contract for using swipe machines and charges should not be levied on customers.my bill amount was less but think about someone who makes a purchase of 50k or higher for any product.. that’s unfair practice

below is the rule. read it carefully

. Levying fees on debit card transactions by merchants – There are instances where merchant establishments levy fee as a percentage of the transaction value as charges on customers who are making payments for purchase of goods and services through debit cards. Such fee are not justifiable and are not permissible as per the bilateral agreement between the acquiring bank and the merchants and therefore calls for termination of the relationship of the bank with such establishments.

5. Though many banks have appreciated our concerns and have discontinued with the above mentioned practices/ products, some of them still seem to persist with them. These practices/ products thwart the very principle of fair and transparent pricing of products which beholds customer rights and customer protection, especially, in the more vulnerable retail segment. Such practices thus violate, both in letter and spirit, various provisions of our MC on Interest Rate on Advances and therefore, you are advised to strictly desist from these practices hence forth.

have you come across any such instances ??  comment me back on comment section

Build your website in 5 mins

whatever your profession is , having your own website gives you an extra edge over your peers to market yourself in a better way

if you are a businessman/woman having website makes way for reaching out to your customers in an efficient way

promoting your services, products would become a cake walk

and that even good if you have it for free .

now i recommend https://www.wix.com

reason being that many are non technical and even if you are techie , you would hate spending time on coding from the scratch .

wix has something called artificial design intelligence mechanism which makes easier for you to build your website within minutes

you just have to select template and customize over it

you can change design , edit content , add content , modify it in your own way . the wizard will take care of the rest

because you are creating it for free, your site name will be appended by .wix.com , you get paid subscription which will allow more benefits and own your domain name .

but for google analytics and SEO , Adsense , i feel WordPress is better but price is little more for WP .

question of the day ..do you own a website ? if yes, what web hosting facility do you use . let me know in the comment section

Create awesome custom thumbnails on android

Folks,

I see many people on YouTube who are not uploading appropriate thumbnails.

a)have misleading thumbnails

b)leave YouTube itself to choose thumbnails randomly from the video which may not be seo friendly or user friendly or do not give proper message to viewers .

c)Sometimes it may look messy too..

Sometimes we aren’t able to access our desktop or laptop to create custom thumbnails .

Now I made a video to show how easy it is to create thumbnails on android phone . it may also work on iPhone . please check .

The app name is pixellab. See the video I created which explains it all

I’d like to share this video.

10 rs coin banned by RBI ? Reality explained

today , after lunch i went to have buttermilk . when i took out 10rs coin to pay to shop keeper, he denied .

shopkeeper: “sir , we dont accept 10 rs coin. please give us note .“,

me:”huh?? why? whats the problem with this coin?”

s:”Sir, its banned by government , dont you know ?”

m: “boss, who told you this ?”

s:”sir you can see Facebook or whatsapp  messages, i can show you”

(shows some posts and images which was circulated in his group..)

me:”did PM announce this ? did RBI announce this ? did finance minister announce this ?”

another colleague of shopkeeper:” sir please give note sir , we are receiving counterfeit coins “

me:”this is genuine man , also i donot have change, i only have 500 rs note .”

s:”ok give me”

i gave him 500 rs note and he handed over 490 rs balance to me .

i wonder how ill-informed are people who believe in some fake posts on facebook and whatsapp ..

below is the original circular by RBI(Reserve Bank of India)

PS:please click on image or zoom to see the above circular more clearly

my sincere advice is to people in india , not to believe in Facebook and whatsapp forward messages and post blindly .. refer different genuine sources and then decide.

if my understanding wrong, kindly throw some light on this so that i can know the reality better .

Question of the day :

Have you been in similar situation where anyone has denied to accept 10rs note ?
