'Chitra' Mani Darpan: From Wall Clocks to Laughing Buddhas – The Gift Business: Who doesn’t appreciate tributes, memorials, or gifts? The gesture is meaningful when the recipient understands the giver’s intention. Otherwise, one might feel it would have been better to receive money instead of a gift. But what should one do with ten Mysore turbans, five or six sandalwood necklaces, four wall clocks, or twenty wall paintings received at a housewarming, wedding, or other event? And what about bouquets that wither in just a day? If monetary gifts were given instead, the amount expected by the recipient might not always align with the giver’s budget. This is precisely why the gift business thrives. A well-chosen gift—one that showcases craftsmanship, environmental consciousness, and creativity—brings joy to all. There is a growing demand for such thoughtful gifts. However, customers can be price-sensitive, given the high volume of invitations and the tendency to re-gift items at events. For business promotions, some prefer using gift coupons, allowing recipients to choose what they truly want. Meanwhile, the greeting card industry has seen a decline, impacted by technological advancements and changing consumer preferences. Interestingly, there is a popular belief that a Laughing Buddha should not be bought but should instead be received as a gift. Even in this belief, a business pattern emerges.

‘Chitra’ Mani Darpan:: Marriage, Children are essential for the economic development of the country!: Our country's economy, future, and youth are at stake. However, in recent times, young men and women are reluctant to get married. Even if they do agree to marry, they hesitate to have children. How has this created financial anxiety? 1. In the world, India is primarily identified by its population. There is no better market than India for foreign companies to sell their products, making our country's population a boon. 2. Earlier, India's overpopulation was a matter of concern. For the same reason, the family planning policy was implemented in 1952, and awareness was spread with the slogan "We two, ours two." Meanwhile, leaders in some states are now encouraging people to have more children. If the birth rate declines, the country will be filled with elderly people, slowing down development. 3. China, which implemented the one-child policy, is now regretting it. Due to the postponement of marriage among young men and women, the number of elderly people has increased. In Japan, the elderly population is already high, and this trend is spreading worldwide. 4. The DINK (Double Income, No Kids) lifestyle is gaining popularity. Young people are losing interest in marriage due to work pressure, career aspirations, and financial burdens. Many feel they have no time to take on responsibilities in today's fast-paced world. With the rise of live-in relationships, marriage itself is being questioned. Even those who marry often choose to have only one child. Many countries are facing similar issues. Is our country heading in the same direction? 5. There is a fundamental difference between humans and other animals. Women experience menopause between the ages of 48 and 55, after which they lose the ability to conceive. Unlike other species, lifelong regeneration is impossible for humans. Our country does not have a system for providing free quality education to children, healthcare, or financial security after retirement. Millions of rupees are spent on LKG and UKG due to the dominance of private schools. This makes young men and women hesitant about marriage and having children. A small family may be ideal for financial management, but from a national perspective...?. Cartoon-Script: Vasantha Hosabettu

'Chitra' Mani Darpan: Selective Absorption in the Financial Arena!: Many people have their own way of understanding things. This is called "selective absorption." It means perceiving only what is pleasant or convenient. The financial world is no exception, as selective absorption is common here too. Consider these examples: • Those who say, "Invest in mutual funds and earn more," often downplay market risks. • "There is unlimited profit in the stock market. The only loss happens if it is misunderstood." But remember, one person's loss is another's gain. • Futures and options may seem more profitable than equity in the stock market. But beware—97% of investors' money ends up in the hands of just 3% of people. Investing without proper knowledge is a significant risk. • News Flash: "Big loss for Reliance in the stock market!" If you're anti-Reliance, don’t rejoice too soon. Remember, all money transactions happen in the secondary market. The company itself does not suffer an immediate loss. • Saving money is important, but that alone is not enough—it must be invested wisely. A final word: Everything I have shared here is for educational purposes only. Always consult an expert before making financial decisions. Cartoon- Script: Vasantha Hosabettu.

'Chitra' Mani Darpan: You pay more premium amount for health insurance, because….: Health insurance companies keep an eye on the health of their customers and try to get more money from the customers. The reasons and excuses that companies give for expensive premiums are the same 1. Certain benefits are available to you only with higher amounts of health insurance. … the premium will be higher! So 2. Privilege of a better room in the hospital based on the insurance taken. So... 3. We provide health insurance for one crore, two crore rupees (that much claim per person in a year is rarest).So... 4. Now medical inflation is high. Therefore 5. Now you can add your father-in-law, mother-in-law to your family scope, so 6. You now add five years of premium together, you get a discount. So... 7. We have added more benefits to the new policy. So.... 8. Some benefits are in different products. Buy another product too….So…. As such, the health insurance segment is considered a 'beading industry'. There are many reasons for that. Our life span has increased, but health span has decreased. Due to environmental pollution, change in lifestyle and other reasons, people's health span has also declined.
