My movement have been restricted to home and hospital because of various factors.
- Face one side is swollen and radiation has marked it with dark patches.
- I have now very less immunity because Chemo has knocked down the blood counts
- Limited amount of energy left in me. Preserving to sustain through rest of the treatment (3 more weeks)
Having said that the house has to run and machinary around an urban family today do not understand, the mimitations :)
- The washing machine decided to conk during this time. To my surprise, I could sit home, research all models, choose the one I think suits the family needs, order it from a e-commerce site with credit card. The machine was delivered to me within 2 days and even a pick up of the old one was arranged w/o going out any where.
- Printer inks got over and kids work sheet and other summer work impacted because of that. Again, get on some of the e-commerce site and order on-line. The right stuff at better price than store price, delivered in less than 72 hrs at the door step.
- Figuring out sites now, for kids summer electronics / robotics experiment kits and a various stuff.
- Even the odd bank work, getting a draft done or depositing paperwork for KYC etc are e-mail away, most of the time free and in some cases with a small fee.
The big stuff where an average Indian consumer had to go to a physical store (Washing machine for example) is no longer a must. Average daily groceries and vegetables etc. are also delivered fresh to home by big basket, although we do not use it yet.
e-Commerce in India has come off the age. And in my current condition, I feel its a boon !
