Can you remember the days when you had to push your already overloaded shopping cart through the cash counters of the crowded shopping malls where the next line always seemed to be moving faster than yours? As you slowly and slowly inched away towards your final destination, you suddenly remembered that there was the dry-cleaning to be received, kids to be picked up from school, and your maternal aunt from some unknown country visiting you that evening... things are definitely not looking good. You pray that you accomplish all your tasks and reach all these places but time is just not enough, is it? Maybe there is. Welcome to the world of online shopping, where sitting right in the living room of your house, you can order your daily, weekly or even monthly supplies and have them delivered at your doorstep within a very short span of time. For those of you who are always running behind the 8th ball, this seems to be the best option. No more long queues, uncooperative cash counter attendants or arguing people who remember all their grievances just when you are short of time. The Internet has opened up new avenues by providing us with the facility to scan through the products on offer and select and order all our required items. This might be bad news for the departmental stores, but we, the consumers, are definitely smiling...
