The Flip(side)Kart

I used to love Flipkart- really! It was in many ways a part of my initiation into the world of e-commerce. I loved the idea of buying books and other miscellaneous items online- the convenience of it was just great.

I knew there was Amazon- somewhere in the other end of the world- but Flipkart seemed to be enough to keep me satisfied as a customer.

A couple of years later- 2013:

Amazon.in was launched- I still didn't care. And then, a friend told me about the free shipping on all orders on Amazon- no minimum shopping required.

Then, I began to care.

I bought my first book on amazon.in for Rs.159- no shipping fee; the product arrived in 2 days; I shopped again, and then again, and again.

Amazon slowly became my habit.

App Rap

Lucky wanted to be a startup chap,

 and so he quit his job to create an app.

 What to build? he thought and thought

 until his right brain sold him an idea that he thought was most sought...

 An app to aggregate services- how cool!

 he was sure he was the first to think of it- oh that fool!

Back to Blogger

I remember writing an answer on Quora- arguing in favor of WordPress over blogger. It was but a mere observation of a non-tech blogger; the tech ones, I reckon would prefer WordPress over the other!
