While I was on my way to foodworld to buy something really essential; a jaunty poster on Odyssey (bookstore) glass door caught my unnecessary attention. It read “I’m one year old….. 40% discount and something of the sort”..

This post reminded me of some of our IndiWood movies (Superset of all Bolly, tolly, molly, kolly etc) - I was laughing on the write up and feeling sad at the same time on the deal. Sigh! impulsive buying is so harmful most of the times. I have faced similar situations in the past too. I pray that at least
your wish of traveling the world comes true at sometime.

Ghee and sugar in your mouth :)May your good wishes come true....;)
I haven't travelled anywhere beyond Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh till now..
So travelling is a distant dream for me...:D

You are a wise guy! :)
1000 places to see before you die is more like a travel guide; categorised continent wise...

Also after a successful buy they'll send an e-mail asking you to fill a questionnaire about the purchase. If you send it across they will send you a Rs 100 GC just like that, no min amount required for using this GC.

Ugh! Do lessons in life always have to be expensive! The dumb bastards!

[mamtanaidu]

Henceforth I'm going to read conditions applied also.....:)

[premkudva]

Yes do that! Next time the pleasure of telling the dude that you will not pay for the billed items since the discount was not applied will be priceless;-)

[premkudva]

BTW did the scratch card really award you a use and throw pen? Or did you say that out of anger.

[praveenkumarg]

oh no! a costly learning..

[mamtanaidu]

You bet!!! How much I cursed myself for not reading the poster completely....

LOVELY, Mamta-as-usual post. Now I have to pick up my head which I laughed off and which is lying on the other side of the room (luckily, I type using parts below my neck and need not see what I type.)

I *HATE* those misleading offers. Eg. A shirt with 50% off means, only one sleeve and half the collar....

[premkudva]

Correct! Or the heap of rubbish near their door.

Now I'm laughing my head off for comments from you guys!!!
