Most of you are aware that 27th July 2012 is
Varalakshmi pooja and it will be celebrated in grand fashion. As part of the
grand, my wife insisted that we should polish the Goddess face that is normally
made up of silver.
So we both went to GRT and inquired on the polish and we
were redirected to a vendor. Upon reaching there we were told that it will take
2 days and the charge was Rs 300, I want to get this done on Sunday else I need
to step again on any one of the week days to collect.
Went to another Jewelry show room and the guy over there
gave us a contact of another Vendor, called and checked with him if he will be
able to return us on the same day and he readily obliged. With a big smile and
some sort of achievement I marched towards the shop. He had a good look and
said it will take 1 hour as it requires effort and asked us either to wait or
come after 1 hour and the charge for polish is Rs 450.
My better half immediately pounced on the opportunity and
requested for a window shopping at Chennai Silks which was near to this place.
Hmmmm after a deep thought my head nodded and foot followed hers.
We both went in and came out after 2 hours with a bill of Rs
2000/- and reached home after collecting the polished idol of Goddess. Later in
the night realized that my lazy attitude towards returning back to Usman road has burned my pocket with an additional
Rs 2150 that includes premium amount paid for 1 hour service and expenses at
Chennai silks
Big Lesson Learnt……
