Has been really long since you ventured into this parts of the Universe :) I am not against pointing out mistakes, but I just wonder if we can do it without hurting people. And yeah, I am hoping for what you call as "naive" too. I do hope it is not that naive!The Freudian Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846833382241285200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314046106336468344.post-31012011655104972152015-01-01T13:01:02.480-05:002015-01-01T13:01:02.480-05:00Great post Adarsh.

The first, about the unwritten class system is what I am worried about, and because of that I didn't expand on the need for good service that you make in your second point. I agree on you on that too, but sometimes I feel that instead of being a consumer vs a service provider thing, it becomes personal and the feedback The Freudian Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846833382241285200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314046106336468344.post-87335156479008495172014-12-29T09:46:40.745-05:002014-12-29T09:46:40.745-05:00Haha :) Thanks pa.

I'm sure you're penning down a lot of people's thoughts about such reactions.Thought I'd share two points that occurred to me.<br />You've mentioned that this post was to highlight the cases with irrational reactions. I'm with you on this one! I think it is created by the steeping hierarchy in our country.

But the problem in India is that only those with great endurance capacity can avail this remedy as the case may drag on for years. There are also really astonishing tales of courts awarding compensation in thousands of rupees for short changing five paise by a bus conductor(The litigant in thisThe Freudian Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846833382241285200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314046106336468344.post-82275836182312762032014-12-29T05:23:30.610-05:002014-12-29T05:23:30.610-05:00Thanks da!
