Mentor & Mentee

I read some time back in an article that states that It will be good to have a mentor. Mentor will guide you better in the next things you would like to do in this world. I am just wondering what are the criteria to select a mentor for me. I am looking out for a person to mend me in the positive direction.

Alternatively I feel it will be good to be a metor too for some one who may put us in a direction of them.

In both the case, I learn something new which I don’t know before. But the real push or the anxiety to learn or try new things should come from both the mentor and mentee to drive in the positive direction.

Looking forward to select a mentor.

HDFC International Cards

Don’t ever use your HDFC Gold International card on an international currency. I don’t know why they levy a heavy charge of 3.5% on as currency conversion fee.

This is not done on the StanChart card.

When I called the customer care, they told that it is as per the policy. I don’t know why the hell then they call it an international card. It will be good if HDFC remove the name international from its Card.

Beware !!!

It is not worth it ?? Your views !!!

Today morning, as usual I stopped by a Shop near by my house to have a cup of tea. I used to go to that shop often on my way to office. I had a cup of Tea, a couple of Samosa which comes around Rs 9/-. I gave a 10 Rupee note which the vendor placed it inside his cash box and kept quiet.

Me :- asked for the Re. 1/- 
The guy:-  You took Coffee and the amount is leveled.
Me :- I took only a Tea which leaves a balance of Re 1/-.
The guy :- As you usually take only coffee, I calculated this way. He gave me the Re. 1/-

I am not sure what should be my reaction to this. Because not even a single instance, I have take coffee in that shop. I had no interest in explaining him I had never taken a coffee here. I thought of two things on walking back to my Car :

  • It makes no benefit for both of us to explain this to him. I don’t want to waste my time explaining him what I usually do.
  • Further if he has done this intentionally, I don’t want to pin point him and say you are wrong in a very morning time.

What is your view ?

Have a great Weekend !!!

Cheers - Ranjith
