the art of bargaining

we being indians always bargain a lot on all kind of things. be it wrt to goods or some concessions or anything else. this article is written bcoz of the events that happened in goa.

we had gone to the flea market on the 2nd night there. i wanted to buy a bag desperately for my mom but i had limited amount of money. So i couldnt stretch the amount. therefore i started bargaining. but it seemed the shop owner would not relent. frustated i decided that maybe he didnt like my face.

i went around a few shops n then an idea clicked . why not take the help of girls. they anyways love shopping and so they must be experts in bargaining as well.
so i asked dikshita and kiran to help me out. and did it work ?? oh yes the shopkeeper straight away gave away the bag for rs.60 only.

thanx dikshita and kiran

anyways thats not the end .

Jinen[ :)) ]according to me is the best bargainer around. on the 4th morning when we were all shopping around for junk bracelets and necklaces, he bought many of them at unbelievably low prices. the way he bargained (talking in gujarati with the lady - she was gujarati as well, sitting on the her table chatting along ) mesmerised me.

then in train while returning back he saved santosh by bargaining the amount of fine with the TC for 10% of the original fine (Rs. 500).

therefore i say that bargaining is art possesed by few and those who have it r really blessed :))
