Act 1- Guy gets his first salary... He is super excited... He sees a Nokia 5800 Touchphone ad on TV... He knows this is what he wants from his first salary... Super excited and in a hurry, He ends up at a Tata Croma... Has a look at the phone... and he knows this is it!... To hell with the price... This is FIRST SALARY also known as Splurging entitlement... He buys the phone... He calls up people... Tells them about his biiig Splurge... He is super-proud of his latest possession... He shows it around.. Always keeps it in a case... and deliberately keeps it on LOUD mode in office,hoping that someone would comment on its superb sound quality.... Just when he thought life is awesome, Tragedy strikes... The Lords of Horizons decide that it is time to bring this fellow back on ground... The Touch system fails...The phone is reduced to a dabba... The guy is embarrassed...He can't possibly tell people that his HUGE boasts about the phone have fallen flat... He calls up the service center... and there goes his sweet possession...Never to be the same again!!!.....The 'Sukh', so to speak, of his GRAND SPLURGE lasts a total of 7 days!
Act 2- Guy decides to purchase new shoes... He goes to a Reebok outlet and picks the best of the lot, thinking that since the first splurge doesn't technically count as it didn't reap the desired 'Sukh'....He shows off his new shoes at the office, on the shop floor and is ready to put his best foot forward,literally!! Once again, the Lords of the Horizon deem it fit to teach this fellow a lesson, since, clearly, he hasn't learnt enough from the past!... One fine day, while walking in the factory, the shoe tears apart at the seam, leaving his foot more or less visible... He calls up the service center!... And there goes his latest crush!.... For a total of 7 days!!!...
Act 3- Just when the guy issued an embargo on any further purchases, tragedy struck once more... His beloved Sony MP3 player, that had been functioning perfectly for months and months, passed away... Suddenly... Out of the blue... All that rests with him is the corpse of a device that was the source of music in the absence of the phone!!! And there goes the former love of his life!!.... Dropping dead... Leaving him in the middle of nowhere...
Anyways, So thats more or less how I spend my weekends these days... Going from service center to service center... Cajoling them, Yelling at them, threatening them that they'll see me next in Consumer Court!
Ain't life a bitch!!! :D
