After the collapse of Lehmann Brothers and the Merill Lynch, the world markets are bleeding profusely. From Nasdaq,Dow jones to Dalal street every body is crying.

AIG has just escaped its death by gathering enough capital for maintaining its livlihood.

Back home, RBI is directing AIG and Lehman Brothers to operate with taking permission from them. Some experts even predict that the present scenario is near to the one in 1930’s Great Depression, but not that fatal.

The captains of Indian finances and business hope that India would sail through it easily as The Fundamentals of our economy would not be hurt.

In my view, a new beginning is what the one should look at. I am hinting at the Lehman employees who have been struck the most from the crisis.

A number of modern retail brands has mushroomed up these days.In one small

locality you can find atleast three to four such retail stores.The concept

of everything under one roof as been  adopted from western countries

keeping in minds economic developments ,profits and  so  called consumers

convenience . Metropolitian cities required a boon  to  society where they

need not to  roam the whole market for their daily  utility. So  the

concept  Of  retail  store was welcomed by consumers. Small  shops, kirana

shops transfigure  into  big bands like Big bazar, Reliance fresh,

Subhiksha, Big Apple et cetra .

These Stores aims in selling a wide range of products without a single

predominant merchandise line and they sell products starting from

fruits,vegetables, apparel, furniture, appliances, electronics, and

additionally select other lines of products such as stationary, hardware,

toiletries, cosmetics,jewelery, toys, and sporting goods means any item one

can think of.  Intially the concept attracts the  indian middle-class

consumers but personally I feel that they are not able to  cater to the

fulliest.If one day i find a product its not sure that next  time i will

get it.i find it  more like flea market where different things are kept to

entertain regular  visitors.

Basically they  have become jack  of all  but master of  none. As they

have a long segments,self manufacturing products,or special collabration

with limited brands.None of their segments is complete enough to satisfy

the consumers.vegetable are never fresh i don’t know why they tag

themselves “fresh”.so the consumers have the choices Frozen  fruits and

vegetables are never fresh.These stores are  spreading geographically and

expected to penetrates  its network in remote centres but  no concern on

quality and  strategy.
