To shop or not to shop on Thanksgiving Day

Now this day has become controversial because some people chose to have it so. It is a whole debate about whether you should or should not shop on this day. And this controversy is increasing every year as more and more retailers chose to open on this day and ask their employees to work too, which some refuse and some accept grudgingly. But as the customers have shown, they are willing to shop if the stores are open. And every year people start to grumble about why the store should be open since it is the day families get together and share meal and give thanks. And I was talking to one of my colleague and the same question came up that the day should not be about shopping but thanksgiving and family gathering. And I was arguing that one gives thank every day so why this day should be not like any other day. And then it was like this is one day dedicated to thanksgiving, we should keep it that way. Although the matter was not resolved as you might have guessed. But we should give thanks every day and nobody is forcing anybody to go to shop. As for the employees they can chose either to work or just stay home with their families. And the rise of the internet shopping what you are going to say about that? Is it then okay to shut down the internet just because it is thanksgiving in the U.S. Why can’t people resist the temptation to not shop for one day. I Surely believe that if people do that then this rise in shopping on Thanksgiving day will go away but I don’t see it happening. Why because of the internet which is on 24/7 so to shop or not to shop on Thanksgiving day has become an irrelevant question to me.

How many vacation days are acceptable in a year?

This is not as contentious issue as it is made out to since you don’t have to argue about it as much and you get what the organization in which you are working gives you. Some organizations give you usually two weeks in the United States and some give three weeks and it grows if you stay in your job for more than one year. In other countries it may be of different duration but mostly organization give some days off to their employees to make them forget about work and take time for themselves. When I was working previously I started with two weeks’ vacation per year and the graduated to three weeks. But in my present employment, I already started with a three weeks’ vacation. Although according to my standards it is a generous benefits but it seems like some people think that it is less generous. But have anybody figured out yet what are the optimal vacation days one should give their employees each year. Because I usually hear that even if you go on vacation for two weeks or even three weeks it is not enough for some. And I have struggled to come up with an answer of how many vacation days are enough. Maybe a month or two months or even six months with pay or how about on a permanent vacation without pay, that will do. Nowadays another variation has come with in which some organizations have no limit on vacation time but it is only a minuscule number of them and have not caught on yet and I am not sure it will ever too because there is always a chance of abuse. I believe that three weeks is enough of a vacation time and if somebody else comes up with another suggestion, you are free to comment.

My target of 2000 articles-2

You see I am now able to say that I have thousands of articles on my blog and I intend to keep on bringing more interesting topics as time goes by. I hope to have this as a constant source of my income in the future so that I can increase my frequency of articles. Right now I was posting three articles per day so that I may reach my goal. But from now on it will two articles or sometimes more depending upon how many topics I have lined up (and if I get some regular funding I may even write more). I just enjoy writing as it keeps on my mind sharp and constantly on my toes so that I observe things more carefully and keep on thinking what should be the correct way to do things if it was in my power. It is really fun to write about things that I feel is the right way to do it. Once I start getting regular funding or financing on a monthly basis, I can ratchet up my articles more and more. Nowadays I usually read 10 to 12 newspaper a day constantly being updated on the internet besides countless articles which are scattered around the internet from different newspapers and magazines. When I started I did not know that I would be able to write one hundred articles let alone having more than 2000 articles. And now that I have achieved this, there is no stopping how many I would be writing in the future so please keep on reading and supporting my blog. Thanks

My target of 2000 articles

As you know by now I have completed my target of 2000 articles and am constantly adding more and hence not stopping at this milestone. It has been a long and hard journey for me since I started my blog in October of 2009 just because what I could not express to speak out publicly (since nobody listen to it anyway), this was my way of giving my opinion of how the world should have been working. It is not by all means anything definitive on one subject as the opinions are being constantly shaped by events and new information comes to light which definitely alters those opinions. I know that if some of the events changes which I have shed light before, they will definitely alter my opinions too. No opinion can remain constant forever as we are all humans and may have erred in our call to judgment but only when partial information is present. Most of my close friends have been asking why it was so important for me to reach this milestone and why I was asking for all of my readers to see my race towards this goal. Well the reason can be weird but first I did not make much of a hue and cry about when I reached the 1000 milestones since it never occurred to be then to celebrate it and now when I wanted to celebrate it was the reason that I may say whenever I advertise that I have thousands of articles.
