It is not about the fact that you get so much in India, it is about better choices and more stuff that is unique to developed countries. I meant that.

The unique stuff is sold privately or within circles. In the UK, you can find the unique stuff in the common market place. There is tremendous respect for the customer here. It is not so in India. I can write a lot on this, but leave it for now. Perhaps when we meet, I can discuss this further.Taher Kagalwalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488784262720510047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773826710388870084.post-45267210211909696722017-08-27T17:58:41.803-07:002017-08-27T17:58:41.803-07:00Doc, I am glad that you are happy where you live a...Doc, I am glad that you are happy where you live and work.<br /><br />But, I found one particular statement puzzling.<br /><br />"... living alone in a developed country, where one can have anything one wants by ordering it online or buying it in a store."<br /><br />I India is not unknown to you, how come you feel this situation doesn't exist there?
