Priyanka Chopra engaged to Nick Jonas

Couples with considerable age difference are always in news , specially when woman is older than her groom. I remember when Sachin Tendulkar married Dr. Anjali, people talked a lot and some of the people speculated that the marriage may not subsist for long. Anjali is around 10 years older than Sachin , however the marriage is successful and they always looked happy and joyful. Between Sachin and Anjali , Sachin was famous in India and cricket playing nations , however Anjali was never so famous. Although Nick and Priyanka both are celebrities but , Priyanka  is more famous than Nick Jonas even in USA due to Bollywood connections and Baywatch.

Indians were shocked about the age differences, however Priyanka never cared about comments of people and proceeded with her inner conscience which is never wrong. 

There are various news and information about much waited marriage across the world and media is following them big time. Say for example,  currently Priyanka and Nick Jonas are enjoying Holidays in Mexico and people are viewing their videos. 

If we see the pictures of Priyanka and Nick together, both seem to be very much relaxed and confident. They do not express much love and affection towards each other and the relationship is very much planned and we may see its effect in coming years. I do not see love in their eyes specially in the eyes of Priyanka (may be I am completely wrong as nobody can understand a woman :) ) So lets see the reasons for selection of Nick Jonas by Priyanka for marriage from a different point of view : 

  • Priyanka's bollywood career is not over but she has started her career in Hollywood. The best age to work in Hollywood by a woman is 35 to 45 years and Americans / British do not care about marital status and age of a woman on the screen. Unlike India, they are very much fair to see a woman on the screen and do not discriminate between a married heroine and unmarried girl. Like Aiswariya, her career was almost over in a lead role once she married to Abhishek Bacchan although she is still prettier than Priyanka. Priyanka's team understood that ex- Miss India Priyanka would fly in Hollywood rather than Bollywood. Aiswaryia Rai never thought from such an angle otherwise she could be atleast a Bond Girl in one of the James Bond Movies. However Priyanka Chopra must be eyeing on a role with Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, George Clooney, Leonardo or with James Bond / Daniel Craig. 
  • In order to proceed with such a plan, she got a house in New York City and easily she may get permanent residential status in USA , although it does not matter much to her. She has so much money that she may roam around India and USA. 
  • Movies and TV shows is such a line in which young male and female come together in a funny environment and most of the times they come closer and get intimated. Even in case of Priyanka Chopra that she started to like Akshay Kumar during  shooting of the movie Aitraaz. After a strong protest by Akshay's wife Twinkle, they could not come together in a movie in last 10 years. Also, there is another interesting thing - if she marries an Indian a social restriction always bind a woman. Directly or Indirectly she has to follow certain rules which may not allow her to excel professionally after marriage or becoming mom. Again, Aiswariya, Twinkle Khanna, Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Sonali etc. faced similar problems. However, thanks to brains of team Priyanka that they planned a new lease for Priyanka's international career. 
  • To remain in Hollywood, a woman has to come up with a bold character and she has to show her assets on the screen. During Baywatch, Priyanka did not hasitate to flaunt her body and everybody watched perfectly alinged cleavages. Her holiday pictures of bathing in two pieces in America without being disturbed by people unlike India. Such freedom may not be possible with an Indian mindset Husband. 
  • Now Age difference, - Nick knows that his wife is quite elder than him and Priyanka's body is perfect for an American. A lot of American celebrities do not care for age difference and carries the relationship till everything is good. If a celebrity is not getting media attention , they may announce separation from their spouse and get media attention. There will always be a risk in this relationship. 
  • Priyanka knows that she can easily mentor a younger guy and enjoy a family life too. Nick may not much  put nose in her business and growing profession in Hollywood. 
Currently their families are meeting and waiting for their marriage. We should wait for time when the relationship progress with the time .All the best to the couple. 

7 Indirect Beneficiaries of Online Selling Portals


Not to say again, buying and selling of goods through web sites is a talk of households. The business which seemed to be a walker like tortoise is now running like a panther. In India before 15 years an ordinary man could sell his products or used articles through baazi.com only. Other web sites were there but not very popular. Seeing the current customer base and rising trend in sales of “baazi”, ebay.com bought the portal itself rather than creating its own image first. So the first beneficiary was a performer web site which showed their performance and got a good foreign investor or an existing large foreign online selling portal. I am not much discussing the history of emergence of online selling goods in India; rather I would like to mention the beneficiaries who eventually became the ultimate beneficiaries. Major beneficiaries are:

  • Courier Companies: Courier companies have grabbed the opportunity to deliver goods traded through online goods selling portals like amazon.in, flipkart, myntra, jabong, ebay, rediff, etc. Some companies like Amazon advertise that they can send goods within 24 hours. Flipkart also advertises about quick delivery. ebay also takes word from sellers about delivery period and holds them accountable. So we can easily imagine how couriers companies are getting business and how they should be efficient. Big players like dhl, bluedart and first flight etc. have already branches across nation so they took the ultimate benefit of this opportunity. Even middle sized courier companies like shyam courier, express, overnite etc. take leverage of their associated companies. People working in MNCs do not have time to go to market and purchase gift for their love, kins, and friends. Online purchasing is one of the most suitable options which directly give effect to rise in business of courier companies. If somebody has a big family across India along with their relatives, opening a courier company can be a good option.
     
  • Stationery:  Online goods are first packed, sealed, covered and then addressed. Bare minimum stationeries required are – Thermacol, paper, cartons, card board box, pen, pencil, tapes, glue, cards, paper waste, packing paper, computer cartridges etc.  These bare minimum things are pushing demand forward
     
  • Stock Market:  Online portals have already engraved their roots in India and now they are thinking to get themselves listed.  However, their business model and thinking are totally different from traditional businessmen like Ambanis, Tatas, Birlas etc. They are quite young and different thinker. Mostly people who are quite young and college outs join this business. These companies are offering Stock Options to their employees. Seeing the rising trend of the business, private equity, venture capitalists, and investors are pumping in their money. They are eyeing on the big opening at Stock Market for their exit route. But one of the best beneficiaries would be employees who have opted or will opt for ESOP (Employees Stock Option Plan). This is also an opportunity for young aspirants. They must go for this plan
     
  • Small Business: There are still crores of people who do not want to buy goods through online media. However, they just see which goods at what rate are being sold. They just see the quality and description of goods and purchase goods from a nearby shop who cannot afford to advertise such goods. But the same is going both ways. A person goes to market and purchase same or similar goods through online portals at deep discount. But currently it is the small businessmen who are more benefitted as they do not need to publicise their products
     
  • Banks: Credit Card payments, online fund transfer are now day’s chargeable services. Sometimes people forget to pay their dues on time and they are slapped with an interest @ 36 % p.a and penalty which is completely enjoyed by bankers.
     
  • Users of Internet: Online shopping viewers are now informed buyers!! They have seen the goods , they know about goods,
     
  • Birthday boys and Girls: People are now getting gifts without fail. Friends living abroad or at distant places can now send gifts of their choice. Beneficiaries are people who celebrate their birthdays, anniversaries etc.
     

There are other direct and indirect beneficiaries, will talk about them later on !! Please add some points to enrich my and viewers knowledge
