Every day I wake up at 5 o’clock thinking everyone else must be sleeping in the city, so I can shed kilos that I have put on all these years by riding bicycle and nobody could see me in the process. But every day when I wake up I see thousands of people already busy their daily chores. I hear whistles from the kitchens of my neighbourhoods, where mothers of school going children prepare food for breakfast and to pack food in lunch boxes. I see number of Milkmen on their bikes that carries huge metal cans of milk distributing milk to their various customers; maids knocking doors of their masters to do cleaning work; newspaper hawkers riding on their bicycles and throwing newspapers in the balconies of their clients; people going to gym for keeping themselves fit; and as the time goes by first students and then office- goers build up the traffic on the road.

I don’t know whether you have experienced it or not by rising early in the morning, but one thing that you must agree to is that the life has become too fast and too busy. Therefore, today if you need some help regarding something, the reply from the other end will certainly come in negative. But with this change in time people have become smart, so they will not say ‘no’ on your face. To say no they will use some sugary talks like I am afraid; I would have helped you, if; and so on and so forth. However, if you look at it from a wide angle or put yourself in place of the one who may ask you some help in the future and contemplate what will be your reply to him or her. In most of the cases, the reply cannot be other then ‘No’, though it may be said in a number of different ways.

I will share with you an incident that happened with me in recently. My dog was severely ill and he was not eating anything from couple of days. I was too worried for him lest his condition worsened, and in order to get him some medicine I raked in all the directories, called all my friends, enquired in the neighbourhoods to get contact details of some good veterinary doctors, but all my efforts to find doctor for my duck diamond ended in smoke. You will not believe that all the people from who I asked helped, did not even bother to try and recall if they ever came across any veterinary clinic in their life or have heard about it.

Nevertheless, as they say ‘God helps those who help themselves’, I turned on my computer and did some secondary research and there I found a website named dialgurgaon.com. This website had contact details of a number of shops, malls, clinics, restaurants, hospitals and the list was endless. I quickly clicked on to the Pet Clinic category and jotted down details of the top Pet clinics in Gurgaon and rushed to the clinic with my dog. This doctor prescribed some medicine after taking thorough checkup. I drove back home and gave medicine to him and just within two days, he recovered from his illness.

And for his quick recovery, I will give credit to this web portal that provided me the details of the best doctors of the city. Now, whenever anyone asks me for any help I direct them to this web portal that helps you in your search for Packers and Movers in Gurgaon; Auto Parts in Gurgaon; Restaurants in Gurgaon; and Guest House in Gurgoan. Gurgaon has huge number of operational shopping malls and several are in the pipeline. These shopping malls are quite popular and even people from other cities come here for shopping and hangout.
