Mercantile Connumication or Mercantile Communictaion.

I wonder Mercantile's online feedback system works. I wrote to Mercantile months back that there is a TYPO on their 'web page title' that Communication has been misspelled as Connumication ( in the pages where communication appears as title). No effect/change till date!
Does Mercantile listen to any feedback? I have sent one again today. Let's see how they take it now.

Starter

Let me start my blog by writing why I chose the name of this blog to be 'Aja ko Bichar'. Well, that was definitely not what came to mind as a first option. After checking availability for quite a number of names, which I thought would be unique and would be available, but were not , I mind started thinking those names that I would NOT like my blog to be named..they were funny too! Oh Stop! Then I thought what would I do with my blog, what I would be posting or what I would like others to post..then it clicked..it can be anything that plays around my or anyone else's mind, that which is a thoughful thought of the day, that which is to shared with others..and definitely that which would reflect your assumption, perspectives..and so on! This led me to have this blog named 'Aja ko Bichar'.

For those, who dont know Nepali Lanaguage and who want to know what it means in Nepali:
'Aja ko Bichar': Composed of three Nepali words, Aja (a: -as in 'car'+ja - As in 'fur')= Today; ko(o -as in 'go')= of ; Bichar(bi - as in 'bid'+cha: - as in 'charcoal' + r - as in 'car')=Thought
So 'Aja ko Bichar' would mean 'Thought of the day'!

Happy Reading and Happy Writing!
