The life as and if compared to metros and Semis, is bit relaxing with first one hour spent in Banking and Payment collection. The Jalgaon region's business follows a different approach for traders. The Selling traders visit their resellers (mainly Semi-Wholesalers, retailers), take a Tea Break and get their due bills Payment collected. Since Jalgaon is a major trading hub for grains, Tea, Commission agents, these people have frequent Outstation Payment sending requirements. Many co-operative banks, credit societies cashed this utilisation and started offering Demand Drafts, At Par cheques at Commission rates lower than that of Nationalised Banks. Many of these societies started using National Level Online/ Any-branch banking private banker's accounts, offered their at-par cheques for Demand drafts. The new disgusting trend of "At Par cheque/ DD bouncing" started from Jalgaon. Banker having offered cheques from their accounts with little/ insufficient funds started bouncing and the trend has touched its peak with many reputed/ known companies rejecting such kind of at par cheques following no assurance of payments.

After spending chunk of time, they now relax a bit and comes Lunchtime from 1pm to 3pm. almost all wholesalers keep their shops closed from 1pm to 3pm for lunch. During lunchtime they update themselves with latest news happenings, stock info etc.
The Post-lunch time is dozing and dull until teatime at 4pm. The banking process finally updated and overlooked with stock markets makes beginning of actual trading and selling activity in bulk. Many resellers visit these wholesalers to check for various new commodities available with them. The Trade session continues until 8pm in night and retail markets until 9pm. The day end activity includes book keeping process and preparing for outstation visits checking. Many wholesalers have routine outstation trips fixed at weekdays. They visit and collect dues along with new orders and return back to home in evening/ night.
The Technology and modernisation in business is yet to touch the grass roots in the region. The Mobile Phone has become a common play item with every trader, most of whom are in learning process of using SMS Messaging for cost effective measures. The Ganeshji Maharaj Account still influences these traders and every shop has 'Shri Ganeshji Maharaj A/c' with virtual donations of Rs. 100/- or so credited every year.

Get-Set-Go youth:
Hard work is pathway to glory and success in life. We come out of our education in a play along mood and when we come out to work, we find it utterly difficult to adjust with the work environment and pressure. Our today's young breed is living and getting educated in times when every activity has media exposure and exploitation. The journey begins with Education where Colleges are supposed to play much crucial role. Students coming out of Graduation and Post-Graduation degrees are not fine-tuned in the environment with all new items surrounding them.
Thirst for improvement and upgradation added with hard work could only help resolving these kinds of issues. Fresher coming out sees limelight and expects more returns on less work, that sometimes ruin their career prospects. Behind every success is a set of efforts added with hard work and waiting period to grab the best of life. Let us not forget the importance of being trained rather than jumping from one point to another.
Days are not far away when the 'Specialisation Trend' arrives. There will be numerous normal service providers but Specialist will always have uplift with his/ her views and experience. Alike Medical field, many fields are under scanner with scope and choice for Experts widening everyday. Speciality is a habit that could only be kept running with Practice to perfection theme.
