Me Shopping

Last weekend I was in Hyderabad to finish the shopping mission undertaken by my parents which seemed to continue till eternity.I was called in as a saviour probably ’cause of my extremely low tolerance to spend time shopping.After much discussion(which was obviously one-way and thats definitely not my way),’we’ settled on a store that supposedly sells apparels at discounts.The store was my choice too when I was studying,considering the then shallow pockets.I had later changed my brand to Parx,premium casual lifestyle(!) by Park Avenue.
Don’t get me wrong.I have neither started earning so much nor ‘ve inherited a fortune(how i wish!)
It seems as though all my pockets have a custom made hole that drains all my money the day….nah the moment I put some money into it.
Owing to all the ‘grave’ considerations,we settled on this store called some blah blah mart.Having neither the inclination nor the liquidity to shop,I casually started to roam around the store looking around for well whatever.Putting my idle brain to use here’s my take on how they offer those steep discounts and still manage to run their show.

They have a premium brand called Bow(?) prominently displayed on all the billboards,ads.However the shelf space for this brand is hardly anything.I am sure the stock on the shelves are out of fashion probably for years now and in some rather eye catching colors favourite to Govinda (not that I care,I never go past the white/black shirts and blue jeans) .However what amazed me was they had shelves and shelves of striking and appealing designs of some other brand which I am sure even the most avid shopper hasn’t heard.These had jacked up prices.Imagine paying thousand bucks for a brand with a latin name So inadvertently,a guy like me who usually spends a max of 5 mins in a clothes store would buy these and realise after couple of months that they are to be used as floor mops.
Another amazing feat is that they have an home brand which always sells on discounted rates so as to say the mrp on the bill is actually including the discount.

Having made such a startling discovery which would benefit so many woeful men,I convinced my parents to shop elsewhere and took an oath never ever to enter another discount store unless ofcourse I am not paying!
