I am not agree with you Ms. Swapna. It always depends on the Builders. If you consider the local contractors, some how i agree with your point. But they are only spoiling the construction industry.
Dipak Bhattacharya  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago

Sorry....     Tech support: What kind of computer do you have? Female Customer: A white one... Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen. Customer: Your  left or my left?     Tech support: Good day. How may I help you? Male Customer: Hello... I can't print. Tech support: Would you click on "start" for me and... Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates. Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'.
