Just Business

by | 26 Aug 2015

Last Saturday, there was a community fair at Max Myers playground in northeast Philadelphia. In the fair, they were giving out free foods sponsored by local politicians since election is in the horizon. Also, some companies were giving hot dogs, red Bull, etc. in return of name and address. Most likely these information will be sold to advertising company or at least they will be sending advertisements to these houses. Thus it was little investment on their part. Only Shop Rite was giving free water (bottles) and was not asking anything for it. However, the water bottles themselves were of shop rite brand, so they were campaigning for their store too. Little community service and advertisement at the same time.

Silent Treatment

We have a comedian at our workplace. One day, during the beginning of my carrier in this place, I asked him if I could check my e-mail from my work computer. He responded, “Go crazy, just keep the pants on”. I didn’t laugh, so he said it again. I just smiled and went...

My worst experience with doctors

It was December 2015, my second son was playing with colored cotton balls and I thought I saw him putting one small cotton ball in one of his nostrils (he was 1 year+ at that time). We saw something red in his nose but we weren’t 100% sure because the inside of a nose...

Silly Talk

Kurbani

This was the first year when I went to butcher shops for Kurbani of Eid-ul-Azha (Annual religious sacrifice). We deposited $500 to a butcher shop in Pipersville, PA to get a bull of around 1800lbs. That was a Thursday and he told our organizer that he only had big...
