Yeh hai Bangalore meri jaan!

Went to Avenue road and its by lanes today. Shell shocked seeing the crowd, the traffic, the noise! I never knew this part of my city. I am so ashamed of myself. The reason for me being there this afternoon was to buy the food containers and the rest of the stuff. Checked out a few of the shops. Haggled and bargained. Surprised myself doing so. And felt like an idiot when I got home. The shop keeper put a maha topi on me. Gave me half the number of containers and billed me for all of them. Need a lot to learn. Moral of the story: shopping at a mall is different from shopping in such areas. Count, recount and count again. Spent the rest of the Diwali evening on the phone with the shop keeper trying to figure out how to get the stuff exchanged. These guys have an exchange policy: only after 2 PM. Monday...another crazy day. Good Night!
