I always stand up for what I believe in and what is right even if it means standing alone...In life standing up for your rights is never easy but it is very important to embark on this Long and difficult path to enforce and protect your individual and consumer rights.We all must be aware of our rights.In exercising our rights are we truly free individuals.

I have won many long customer battles against Banks,Phone Companies, Airlines, Electronics Companies etc. I have devoted time and energy to demand positive resolutions for myself and people around me. I hate it when one is denied what every customer has a right to...and that is when I find it important to address it and complain about it. I know it takes time to escalate matters but somehow I prefer to address it no matter what. Having lived in America for sometime, I give a lot of importance to Individual Rights.

It is my nephew who inspired me to write this blog. He felt the importance of his rights and the need to address this subject in a blog very early in age when he was unhappy with the services of a certain Airline. It was then that he suggested that I should write a blog concerning such matters too.

Everyone has certain rights but we are usually not informed about them or do not exercise them. We have a right to be heard...and we must never forget that. There is One Right for All and None should be discriminated. One has the right to question and a right to information. With growing middle class touch 400 million and consumerism, Indian Companies need to become responsive to Consumer complaints and grievances. Ignoring such complaints could lead to big financial losses for the company on consumer complaints being upheld by Consumer Courts.

In this blog, I would like us to share our knowledge about how best to address our complaints effectively as a customer or consumer. It is also important to inform people about the poor customer services provided by reputed brand names. But I would also like to hi-light the names of companies and brands who have co-operated with customers and given positive responses. Please do share your experiences too.

You do not win every battle in life but you learn lessons from it and hopefully live to win it some day. Through this blog ,I would like to inspire people to stand up for their rights and if needed fight for it but the fight for your rights has to be fair and honest. I aim to create a direction and awareness for people who are not given their due rights as an individual first and then as a consumer. There are always solutions and there are way to reach those solutions or alternatives as customers through proper channels.

Whenever you have been able to get your rights heard, you should generously share that knowledge as how best to achieve that so that others could follow that too. Pay it forward ! We should share knowledge and in doing so we will learn more from each other. Alone you can stand up for your rights but with people behind you and with you , there will be more force in it and consumers and customers will not be taken for granted. United we stand in getting value for our hard earned money...United we stand in ensuring we get good customer service.

When there is a will there is a way. When you stand up for your rights and for others , somebody will listen to you sooner or later. Your voice will be heard ! But for that you have to speak out ! Silence can sometimes be mistaken as weakness or indifference. Always know your rights and request for those rights to be implemented but if they are not then demand that justice be served.


Always stand up for your rights...

Consumer Rights Consumer Might !

Lifestyle needs a makeover


Shopping at Lifestyle can be quite exhausting and unpleasant at times specially during end of season sales time where there is utter confusion and long lines at the cash counters or clothes scattered on the floor. Their home section is always in the state of confusion as it is and you have to really watch your way there as the staff  seems to be always rushing to their restrooms in a hurry and in the process colliding into customers. I always avoid going to the home section for that reason...

Recently I was also disappointed to the see that their clothes were soiled or stained. And when I requested for a certain stained item from the lingerie section to be exchanged, I was met with opposition at first but eventually I convinced the floor manager to do so after a lot of persuasion. But my advice is that always check their items thoroughly before purchasing. I always check the stuff I buy but this time even I got misled thinking and trusting the sales person and not checking it in details as I usually do. I notice that their staff spills big packets of lingerie on the floor so that customers could choose from them. That reminded me of some street shops where clothes are displayed on the floor. I actually did not feel like buying such items as I give a lot of importance to cleanliness...

Long time back I have had experiences of being overcharged in my shopping bill out there as well. And in sales times I even had the misfortune of walking over the puddle of  a child's urine which the Lifestyle staff did not bother to clean immediately and clothes were falling over it. Remember always wash the clothes you purchase before wearing !

Lifestyle certainly needs a makeover in it's cleanliness, staff attitude specially in home section , staff etiquettes as well as maintenance of the clothes they sell.
