Quikr - revolutionizing the way buying and selling is done.

http://www.quikr.com/

In the last few years, the whole nature of buying and selling has been shaped and changed for better. The primary reason for which is; Quikr. I was introduced to Quikr by a friend who is a very frequent user of the site and is now in fact, very frequent user of the app. 

As I mentioned some posts back, Quikr gave my family the ideal platform to sell our old stuff and buy new ones - while we were shifting to a whole new place, this wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the relative ease of using Quikr. 

Today, I share the story of how I sold my old Maruti Suzuki 800 through Quikr and got a perfect price for it, which I spent on buying my new car, Hyundai Santro. 

2 years back, me and my family had planned to go to the movies but little did we know that on this very day, our Maruti Suzuki 800 will give us troubles. My family waited for 45 minutes, in which I tried to rectify as to why the car wasn't starting but no luck. 

Next day I took it to the dealer who told me that I'd have to spend Rs-25,000 for it's repair and only then, will the car be able to work. It was at this time that I talked with my wife and we decided that let's repair the car and sell it. 

I repaired the car, it was now in perfect condition and put up an ad on Quikr. 

To all the calls that I received, I very frankly told the condition of the car and people were still very much interested as I had spent Rs-25,000 in it's repair. After a few days I got the perfect buyer for it and sold it for a reasonable amount. 

We waited about a year and a half to buy a new car though, we were going through market prices of the cars, determining what to do - should we buy a second hand car? And in this January, we decided that it's time we head over to Quikr, the very place where we sold our second hand car. 

I looked through the ads for second hand cars on Quikr NXT and found a Hyundai Santro, a car that's manufactured no more but it's a car that my brother has and I've always loved. I contacted the seller through the app and started a chat. Through the chat I came to know that he is selling the car at a very genuine price, considering the car was 8 years old and in very good working conditions. I asked him to send me a few photos of the car via the app, which he did. The photos consolidated the fact that the car was in fact in very good condition. 

I bought the car and here we're today - a Santro that works perfectly and bought in a amount that truly doesn't create a "hole" in the pocket. 

Moreover, the relatively ease experience of using the Quikr NXT app made the experience all the more memorable. 

Hence I say, Quikr - revolutionizing the way buying and selling is done. :)

Befikar umar bhar : let your dreams and goals fly high

Being "befikar" or fearless is not everyone's cup of tea, we're all afraid of doing one thing or the other and this fear is driven by various reasons, the most common one being that we feel that something's are just "too hard" to accomplish or in other words, such goals are unrealistic.

But having said that, what if we all had THAT confidence of being "befikar" and thinking about 5 goals of our life, that we'd so desperately want to achieve? Below are 5 of my "bucket list" wishes that I'd want to accomplish.

1) Learn to swim : now, not everyone may have trouble enjoying the power of water but for some like me, I'm a true phobic of swimming and have always been afraid to take a deep in the depth of a swimming pool. If I had to overcome this fear, then I'd truly be checking one of my so aspired wishes in my "bucket list".

2) Travel to New Zealand : ever since I met my friend who came from New Zealand after working there for 10 years, I couldn't help but imagine a life for myself there - wouldn't it be fun to live in New Zealand's peaceful environment! I've always been fascinated by their culture and cuisine and it surely is a place that I'd want to visit someday and check-off my bucket list.

3) Crack KFC's Chicken recipe : for all of you out there who admire non veg cuisine, one of the best kept secrets of one of the most loved dish of the world is the secret of KFC's crunchy yummy chicken, which I truly relish. If I were to check-off one thing from my bucket list, it'll be a successful attempt of making a KFC crunchy chicken, the very dish that I've tried several tries to make but haven't come even close to it's original taste.

4) Learn to skate : as a child, I was very fascinated seeing kids learning to skate and doing all those classy stunts but I was always too afraid to try it for myself. Now that I've grown up and look back upon those days, I wonder - would I've made a good skater? Should I have possibly tried? It sure is something that I'd want to learn and check-off my bucket list.

5) Create a sand-castle : firstly, I'd want to visit a country where the beaches are absolutely clean and top-notch, only then can I bring out the kid in me and make a sand castle - the beautiful castles made purely out of sand, ain't they a nature's beauty! Travelling to a new place and making a sand castle at a beach, now this truly is a thing to check-off my "bucket list".

So then, that's my pick of 5 things in my bucket list that I'd want to do, to be "befikar umar bhar", having the satisfaction that I achieved 5 aspirations, in fact goals of my life.

Pen down your own 5 goals in life that you'd want to check-off your bucket list and let a new journey of being "befikar umar bhar" begin.
