Strike is going on but my son brought some goods from grocery shop

So sorry to hear the the strike has prolong to this day. You are fortunate to have such a good shopkeeper. I hope it will end soon. Strike always bring a lot of inconvenience to people. Be it food, leisure or working life. It is horrible that common people always suffers its consequences.

It is good to hear that you have a friend store ready to provide what your whole family needs,that can be bought at back door.The storekeeper is just practical so that his business would never become empty to have a sale to his loyal patrons.

It is so awful strikes are happening in your area of India. It is hard to get food when grocery shops have strike action going on. I am delighted that your son found a small grocery shop half open so he could buy some essentials. It was so lucky your son saw the back door was open. It is lovely that you don't have to worry about your meals. I had a flight booked on a day London Underground was on a strike. I had to travel all the way to the airport on three different buses. I was still alright for my flight to Prague back in 1996. In 2010 the airline I had booked on was having strike action some days and not other days. It was nerve racking waiting for my day of departure to Vancouver in Canada. Luckily we did depart on the plane okay.

That is a relief you will be able to feed your family. Hope the strike doesn't go on long.

Its very good that you got some goods to fill up the stock.How many days will strike continue, along with this problem there is drought condition in Maharashtra too isn't it?

Oh so sorry to hear that the strike is still on. I though it is supposed to end today? . However, it is good that the shopkeeper is good enough to open from the back door for his customers

It is bad that such strikes happen. The strikes do not benefit even the shopkeepers. They help others who have vested interests. They cause inconvenience to people, and also cause law and order problems. Protests are ok in a democracy, yet too many strikes do not help anyone.

Rich people call for strikes without taking into consideration the poor or ordinary shopkeepers who are just trying to earn a living. Your country is not alone - we have the same problems across Europe too!

It's good that the shop keeper still thought of selling despite the strike. I am sure not all would be brave enough to do the same. I hope everything calms down now in your place.

Hi, The businessmen can't really sustain the strike or they'll go bust. It is a bad idea to go on strike but if they feel it could make some changes in the way things are, strike they must. Still the days without business can incur huge losses that may never be recovered. It may be putting up a front of being on strike but it is business as usual in the back door. Nice move.

Well, if I understand correctly, your son was able to buy food, although there was a strike in progress. The shopkeeper kept the shutter open only half right. However, the important thing is that now you have the enough food for the next day.

Wow, this is just a terrible way to have to live...But one must do what one must do..I am so so happy that your son was vigilant enough to notice the shutter half open...and that your family can not have something to eat....I still feel saddness for the other people who has not been as lucky....I just hope the strike ends soon for everyone...\ I have a question..was the food your son purchased just from the supply of the hotel or what??? if so that was a very good move and very very nice of them....

Hi Is any strike going on in your state? I didn't hear about this. yes we face many problems due to strike. But we dont have any such serious strikes here ,i never saw one so far from my childhood. Hope it ends soon.

Yeah. This thing happened with me also , some months back. It was a state strike, and I have to buy milk and other some groceries. Many shops just keeps their shop half-opened so that if any unwanted situation arises, they can shut down easily and fast

Do you know what the strike is about? It's a shame that those who do not want to partake in the strike feel that they are pressurized not to open their shops, after all it's their business, their livelihood, and they have to open to be able to feed themselves and their families. This shopkeeper is a credit to the neighbourhood and is willing to step out from the crowd, there's always a few good people in this world.

It is good that you can find some goods. Get more as soon as possible. I hope things get better.
