Whatever category you belong to, the dynamics and flexibility that the internet has introduced into your shopping pattern is unbelievable.

Whether you’re perched on a hilltop in Agartala or enjoying a vacation in the backwaters of Kumarakom, your package is going to find you and get to you in a matter of days. In between this overdose of convenience, if there’s anything you’re possibly missing it must that uncle in the grocery store who always gave you an extra chocolate, or that friendly salesman who would always strike out the best deals for you. There isn’t anything much we can do about the chocolate, but when it comes to deals, rest assured that it’s been taken care of. Call us But what about the smile and the friendship?

At the beach, he makes sure the waves don’t carry you off. In the playground, he spins you around so fast that you’ll see the swing and the seesaw rotate at crazy angles. He drives. He cooks. He comes back from work with your favourite toys. He’s the reason you get home safe and sound after falling asleep at the movie. And then at some point the realization dawns on you, your dad is superman! There are many ways to thank your dad for the sternness that moulded you into who you are, and for the many undocumented moments of kindness that taught you some of the most important lessons in life. The best is probably to be around for the rest of his life and to express your love on a day to day basis. But maybe the universe has conspired to keep you away from your parents, or probably you’re one of those people who cringe at the thought of expressing your affection. For these unfortunate souls, an easy way out is to greet your dad with a gift on Father’s Day. 16th of June is fast approaching, and if you still haven’t made up your mind on what to get for the old man, we’re more than happy to help. He’s out of coverage area [...]
Let’s say it’s one of those lazy afternoons when you don’t have anything much to do. Naturally, you plunge into the virtual window shopping mode. And mostly, just halt in that ambiguous spot in between the window and the cart, because that’s when you remember all that’s pending from your shopping list for the weekend is a lemon squeezer. You’d probably say to yourself, ‘there’s no way I’m buying just that online.’ If so, we know precisely what made you come to that decision. You’ve burnt your fingers a couple of times, at either the product page or at the checkout counter. You have taken a hurtful detour when your favourite shopping website informed you that your item did not meet the minimum order amount eligible for free shipping. Basically, they’ ve left it to you to decide if you must buy more than what you exactly need, or pay a little extra. Either ways, you couldn’t opt out of spending more that intended. Most of us on the team at HomeShop18 are avid online shoppers as well, which is why we know how that feels. Besides, we had customers from all over telling us via mails, messages, posts and tweets, that they’d love us a little more if we delivered all their purchases free of charge. We worked our [...]

India’s favourite metal Gold, recently saw its biggest price drop since the 80s. Bullion fell by almost 9% in a single day and has been hovering at a 3-year low ever since. In fact, in the last few trading sessions, price plummeted by almost Rs. 2700 per 10 g of gold. The primary cause of the price fall was Cyprus selling its gold reserves and also the wobbly state of economic affairs in Spain and Italy. All the economic reasons kept aside, Gold was and has always been considered a safe investment by the Indians; a safe place to park money especially when the horror stories of market crashes are doing rounds every other year. Amidst the market volatility, people are now faced with a string of questions waiting to be answered. Should one buy or sell gold? Was this the first ever gold price drop of its kind? When will it recover? Will it ever recover?! To find answers to each of these questions, let’s first dig into the history of price patterns of gold in India, in the last 60 years. Year Rate per 10 g Year Rate per 10 g 1950 – 1959 Rs.77-99 2005 Rs.7000 1960 – 1969 Rs.71-176 2006 Rs.9000 1970 – 1979 Rs.184-890 2007 Rs.10800 1980 – 1989 Rs.1300-3000 2008 Rs.12500 1990 – 1999 [...]

Technology has surely played a very crucial role in letting us explore the hidden treasures, thus ensuring decent means to live, work and make merry. Those days are passé now when people had no alternatives to making calls using the landline phones, often attached with those clumsy wires. Now ask yourself where exactly can you spot a landline? You may not be that lucky to find one so often unless you drop in at any corporate entity, PSU or a business establishment. The power entry of mobile phones has come as a breather for all those who have dreamt to follow the footsteps of Bond (read James Bond) who has been the pioneer in flaunting those gadgets capable of making people go frenzy. Now, you have a mobile with you not just to talk; it also gives you the freedom to access the web, play stimulating games, watch lifelike videos and much more! Leave aside the landline phones, under the mobile phone vertical itself, a lot of things have happened that spell none less a blessing for us. While back in 1995, we used to have those bulky handsets (the year wireless service was just introduced in our country) with significantly larger antennas, a few lucky ones still managed to stand apart and draw all attention. That year had however [...]
