Buying the appliances

Now, this one needs a new blog altogether. But, for my readers' convenience, I will try to fit it in this one only.

There are innumerable electronics stores in bangalore. Every crossing, every block has an e-store.
These stores have a very good layout and have good designs on display and one of their salesman will also work with you.
We spent hours on finalizing a TV, Fridge, Washing machine, Microwave, AC, etc. (And we did this with a toddler- please keep this factor all the time in your mind).
After we had spent about 4 hours and a hungry afternoon selecting our electronics, we were told that all these are not in stock. NOT IN STOCK!!
I swear! I felt like killing this man. I had lost patience now and all my manners, politeness, also. This was e-zone in Indira Nagar.
We went to Vivek's, Pai's, and the likes but exactly the same story. They promised they can deliver it in a month's time. But who has seen that!

We finally compromised on certain models and placed the order with Giria's. He had most of the stuff in stock. On the day of delivery, we had to call the store and the truck driver at least 6 times before they came about 5 hours late then the scheduled time.
Not only this, the fridge was damaged. My Husband was the one to lose his cool this time and they took back the fridge and promised to get us a new one IF there is any stock.
We got it about 3 days later.
