My Mobile shopping!
Finally the day arrived I was waiting for..I had to buy new mobile from last six months but as they say the muhurat never arrived. Today we finally got out for a mobile survey to get the best of it.
“Which mobile u want to buy?” Vivu my brother in law asked me. Of course Nokia, I replied thinking this can not be a question at all. From the time I have started using mobile which is around six years back I have been loyal to Nokia. I must have changed 3 mobiles. In my whole family and even in my husbands family we have never used anything else. Nokia is handy to use, its operations are easy and its comfortable. Done! You cant get so much of simplicity in anything else. Thak thak thak! So much of surety.
We entered one known shop. Shop keeper smiled with a question mark on his face, which suggested, Yes please?
My husband without wasting time said “we want to buy a Nokia mobile.”
The shop keeper showed us various Nokia models. Telling what is best and what went flop. Every time I touched the mobile.. looked at it as if I get to know things by touching. Ru my sis in law then tried to catch my attention and showed sony ericson which she uses. One exception in entire family.. I looked at it as we greet some unknown guest entering home.
Hell! Why not a single model is appealing to me? We are trying to do the cost benefit analysis also. Is it worth for a price we are paying?
Looking at each others faces we came out of the shop. Vivu asked, “okay tell me what exactly you are looking into a mobile?” “Well I don’t want to listen songs through mobile, I am not a game freak.” I said. “Tell me what you want and not what u don’t..”vivu took me on track.
“Okay I want nice camera and I want to check mails.”
“Why are you not looking at other brands? There are so many choices. Just have a look around.” He said. My hubby and me looked at each other with a smile. Lets see! We said.
Now this time we went in a big showroom. It was a very crowded sunday, and the shop seemed like a fish market. After a lot of efforts we reached the salesman’s desk and mentioned about our budget and not any particular brand name though our eyes were still searching for Nokia somehow.
“Hey look at this..its like an i-phone!” vivu got excited all of a sudden..we rushed to him and grabbed the mobile to have a look at it.
Ooh Its Samsung…1st thought came.
So what! look at the features, Its amazing! i-phone technology in a mobile. Its a touch screen phone with all the advanced features.
“Okay what is the price?” Excitement went up after knowing the price. Its within the budget.
Woww what a phone! Look wise, technology wise, price wise everything seems to be perfect!
Man..am I leaving Nokia?? Really? Could not believe myself.
Shop keeper started his job of marketing that phone.. but I actually was not listening to him. I was looking at my hubby if he is okay for not opting Nokia but other brand.
He was also happy with that model and smiled saying its my wish and I have to take decision.
Finally I opted for Samsung. I broke the history of being a Nokia freak. Everyone was happy about my wise decision and so was I. It was worth in all aspects.
We came home with the brand new mobile. I put my sim card into it and started operating..well its not at all tough. Its almost like Nokia.
Many times we become rigid. We streamline ourselves so much that we ignore other best possible options. Opportunities bang your door but you cant listen to them as you only listen to your favorite song and close yourself for rest of the world. You need to push yourself a little ahead and experience new things. Being loyal is always right but being rigid is not. We lose valuable moments by not trusting them enough. They can turn out to be Golden moments of our lives but we should give them a way. Open your mind, Stretch your arms and welcome the new beats. Life mantra is nothing but to experience ever changing time and fly with the wind.
I looked at my old mobile. He was sleeping. Looking tired after doing hard work for two years but calm, peaceful and happy in a satisfaction that he handed over his job to the right candidate :)
