Getting a better deal

Recently I successfully sold a sofa on Quikr. I was ready to dispose that off for free. But to my surprise someone was willing to pay Rs. 5000 for the item. I was really impressed. No doubt Quikr is a great way to sell your stuffs. But how can we replace our existing car with something better using Quikr NXT? That's the topic I am going to explore through this post.

With the new features introduced through the chat application of Quikr, I would use it in the following way to get a better car:

1. Compare and contrast the features: When we discuss over phone about something as complex as selling a car, it is difficult to get the bigger picture of the deal. So whether we are on the right side or wrong side of the deal is difficult to judge. By using the chat feature I'd be able to check each of the specification parameters and then based on my priority parameters (make, model, year of manufacture, kilometres driven, etc), I can make a decision whether the deal is acceptable to me or not.

2. Compare different deals with different people: Not only would I be able to analyze the worth of a deal with a single seller, I would also be able to compare different deals with different persons. It will become relatively easier if I have the repository of all the previous chats with different parties. The records will help me push the data into MS Excel where I'd be able to make a one-to-one comparison between the deals. 

3. Easy exchange of images: If I am not satisfied with the images posted by the seller, I can request for better images. In that case I would not have to wait for the seller to upload the images in the Website, he/she can easily send the images to my chat window. The reverse is also true. If the counter-party is looking for more images I can easily send the same in moments.

4. Avoiding the typical pushy sales people: In various transactions you would always find people who are very pushy. So even if you don't like the deal and say no for the transaction, they will keep on pushing till you succumb to their arguments. It often becomes difficult to block those people. With the use of chat application I can now block those pushy sales people. I would not care how better deal they are offering, if I am not getting a car of my choice I would not accept the deal and if required even block the counter-party through the chat feature.

5. Negotiate: Finally when I will be satisfied with the deal details, I will share my private number and discuss the final details of transaction. Till then I can keep my phone number private. There will be no need to negotiate with a multitude of sellers and one final negotiation would help me closing the deal in an effective manner.

I must say Quikr has helped a lot of people in getting better deals and I hope it keep doing so in the future. The additional chat feature would only help the dealers. And so I'd suggest to those who are not registered explore the site http://www.quikr.com/ quickly and make better deals.

We always plan for a perfect life. How many of us finally get to achieve that? I know there mustn't be many. We are too bounded by the various constraints that life puts in front of us. And instead of maximizing our objective function we end up solving linear equations for the companies we work for. I too is not different and if I am ever given a chance to lead my life my way without any constraints, my bucket list would definitely include the following 5 things:

Travel to Bermuda Triangle: Every time I hear a story about the Bermuda Triangle, my desire to visit the place and solve the mystery only increases. The stories of missing ships and mysterious creatures sound so unreal that it is tough to believe that anything of such nature exists. That's one more reason why I want to be the first one to break the mystery. And if I do so I wish it will be some paranormal mystery.

Sport craziest adventures: The biggest issue in the life of a human being is to sustain their savings and use it to realize their dream fantasies. I am sure adventure sports is in the hit list of a huge chunk of population. I too want to play all the exciting adventure sports ranging from scuba diving to parachuting. And then I wish if I could film them into the repository of everlasting memories

Yosemite experience: This might probably be a weird wish but visiting that place and experiencing the starry night is something which is definitely there in my bucket-list. The project Yosemite is one another reason why I am so uniquely attached and inclined towards this place. The experience would be different from a typical travel experience as I would not like to stay in motion if I go to that place. Rather I would go the sedentary way and immerse myself into the depth of deep space and shiny stars.

Stay in an over-water Bungalow: It would not be random or lucky if you take a correct guess that my next wish would move from clear skies to something related to water. Yes the wish of staying in an over water Bungalow after seeing the beauty of Maldives might not be exactly new. And perhaps the reason that it is in my bucket-list is because it is an aspiration of many to spend at least a day in such ambiance.

Giving back to society through education: We, the part of the privileged society, are obligated to return back to society. I see desire in a number of people but they are not able to do for simple reasons such as too occupied in their personal obligations, family responsibilities and other desires. Financial obligation is perhaps the biggest reason why they are not able to engage themselves in giving back to society. My wish is to be absolutely constraint-less with no financial obligations so that I can transfer whatever knowledge and wisdom I have gathered over the period.

Experience #UnconditionalLove

Valentine's day. Such a wonderful day for lovers and such a bad day for cricket fans. I am sure India's match against Pakistan on 15th Feb is going to create a upheaval in a number of relationships where the guy would have to choose between staying away from cricket and spending time with love. I pity those couple who break their relationship just for a cricket match. But if one analyze closely there are much better options in the market. Asus Zenfone is definitely one of those better options and is an ideal valentine for a gizmo geek like me. The reasons are simple:

Pursuing my hobbies: It wouldn't stop me from pursuing my interests or hobby. So if I want to watch a cricket match or write a blog or go for a lonely tour I would be free to do so. My romance would not be limited to a single activity but would cover a wide range. Moreover I don't have to look for commonalities. So I can spend time with it the way I would want to.

Make me better-me without trying to change me: It would never say bad things that can distort the daily functioning of a normal life. It would never argue with me on mindless stuffs. It would be a good listener. It would always refrain from mindless chatter. It would allow me to play all the cell-phone games I love to play. It would make me more knowledgeable. So instead of chatting about crappy saas-bahu soaps, I can improve my knowledge by reading stuffs on Wikipedia and other smartphone applications.

No scope of over-possessiveness: The scope of over-possessiveness is almost negligible. It would never stop me from meeting my friends or colleagues. It would allow me to connect with the larger world. So even if I am spending all my time with Zenfone, I would still be connected to the world through Facebook, Gmail and other applications.

Pocket-friendly: It would never eat into my wallet. It would rather help me saving my money by helping in organizing my activities better. It would help me look into my portfolio on a regular basis and I'd be able to manage my investments much better. One cannot get a better deal than this.

Time-Saving: It would keep me homely and help me save a lot of time. So I don't have to keep myself awake for hours in the night. I can do better time management by using the calendar and similar applications. I would not have to go outside to have food. I would be able to order it using the Foodpanda app and they will deliver do home-delivery. I would be able to watch movies sitting at home on Zenfone, no need to go out and pay for pop-corns. The high definition screen would only add to the pleasure.
