Where are the Customers?

Performing Puja while customers wait does not seem proper. Puja should be performed a little earlier to the business hours and shop opened after Puja.

When I went to fetch a packet of milk, I found the shop owner was busy performing his morning pooja.
I stood there waiting for his pooja to finish. In the meantime, other customers also came and stood by my side.
Though the shopkeeper was performing pooja, from the corner of his eyes watching the customers increasing by minute. But his pooja continued,
perhaps thinking that the god heard his prayers and sending the customers one after another.
At last, when the Pooja was finished, the shop owner was astonished to see there were no customers. After a while, wisdom dawned over the shop owner.
‘I’m a fool. God himself came in the form of customers and I didn’t recognize them. He made me realize that a Customer is the real god, not the one who’s framed in the picture.’

The shopkeeper probably never heard 'work is worship' the one who does not work properly perhaps miss the God Himself.

But this sort of a thing happens everywhere in India, shopkeepers are busy performing their pooja early in the morning with no consideration for customers who are in a hurry to finish their early morning chores and head to work. Even during evenings, many shopkeepers are busy conducting senseless rituals, being superstitious of many things! In Pune, early in the morning all hotel owners throw the first glass of tea prepared each day along with a glass of water on the roads, a superstitious belief that claims to bring in more customers each day! :blink: :blink:

Sorry, but this culture is not to be seen in our part of the country, as our shopkeepers know the value of the customers. That is perhaps one reason, the malls are facing a stiff competition from small shopkeepers. Pooja can always wait when money matters.
