An incident occurred a couple of months back when I was on my visit to Bahrain. It was a pleasant evening in Bahrain and the atmosphere in Exhibition Road being extremely busy. Walking down the street, I came across a newly opened store named 'Bombay Fashions', owned by an Indian Entrepreneur.
Thought of giving it a peek, I moved my body close to the store and at once realised that the store was colourful. Immediately, went in and was greeted by a Mallu Sales man.
As soon as the greeting was done with, the next thing that I heard was that 'Bombay Fashions' is the only store in Bahrain that sells 'BlackBerrys'. That was the first time in my good life, I heard the brand.(I am SORRY to have been hearing it for the first time, ONLY if this brand really matters!)
As I went through the BLACKBERRYS Trousers section, I came across 2 good dark colours and decided to buy them. At that point of time, Pricing wasn't any of my concern at all. I was surprised that the trousers together costed me ONLY 23 Dinars (1 Dinar = Approx. $ 3.78)... I was happy with my decision. UNTIL
A week after I purchased the trousers and using them till the evening before I left for LONDON, I felt it was high time the trousers go on a shower. I immediately handed it to the housemaid and asked her to help the trousers off from dirt.
An Hour later, I was amazed to see that the trousers had the characteristics of a Chameleon ( A Reptile that could change its colour depending on the environment). My black trouser looked like the ones Prabhu Deva prefers with spots all over it. My navy blue trouser, huh! Don’t ever ask me...it looked like my little nephew had been practicing painting on it. I admit that there was no problem with the shrinkage.
Huh! Unable to return the trousers back to the shop in Bahrain,(Do you feel its a wise choice to courier the trousers to them??? At last I bet I will lose more money on Courier charges), I came up with a wise option, prefer my clean empty DUSTBIN that said.. USE ME which is also said ‘MADE IN ENGLAND.’
Well! Guys, If you ever Prefer Blackberry's, Make sure you buy one pair of trouser every week. You can consider it as a USE & THROW material.
