Disclaimer

It is rather funny to notice how the disclaimers sound.

If it is text they are written in a font size that’s absolutely unreadable. One has to really strain one’s eyes to make a head and tail out of it.

If it is vocal, it will be too fast to be noticeable, making sense is another story altogether.

But ironically after making the decision or (if you happen to be fortunate enough) just when you are about to make the deal, the “t and c applied” becomes visible, and all of a sudden, the blur effect exchange places and you see something you did not notice before. And this something brings all proceedings to a hold.

And you instantly have the eye opener kind of sinking feeling which can be defined as the twin of shock and disbelief coupled into one. And as disappointment rises meteorically, it becomes incredible for you to realize and accept that you were focusing on the wrong stuff all this while.

Disclaimer in the true sense of the term means you cannot claim anything once you succumb to the magnificent promises made, and after the deal you’ll eventually understand that they mean business when they say benefit.

Sadly, even real life’s most important turning points offer so many visible, viable and at times lucrative options that you end up making a choice which is moreover biased more often than not, and this time again you notice the disclaimer only later, when a shift of focus happens.

I guess the question of paramount importance is not WHAT is available? OR What people generally choose to do under given circumstances?

It rather is- what are YOU looking for? Look hard if not harder…
