Mohan’s musing: Rose by any other name ….. here is a twist to the tale
I had to send a letter urgently which brought me to the nearby courier company ( local sorting office ) and before handing over the cover , wanted to know the cost and time for the delivery service ; HYD to BGLR….
Here I was quite shocked to hear this sales pitch (sic)
“ If you want a guaranteed deliver in 24 hours with a promise to return the charges if not delivered ……it will cost you Rs. 150 “
I inquired, what will be the time taken and the charge for normal courier delivery?
“It will be Rs. 50 and it will take about 3 days
Shocked to see me shocked the counter sales guy shot back
“It’s raining sir”
I did not want my BP to shoot up and decided to silently scoot the place and just for curiosity turned back to see if I have come to a truly professional courier company office
 “The Professional Couriers” the name board blared and I almost tripped.
Yes the converse is also true!
An un-professional by any other name does not become a professional ….Now who can argue
