SP Road

So we went to this shop to buy some computer supplies (nothing much...the usual quad core processor, 4 GB of RAM and a Terabyte hard disk) and we were recommended Bangalore Computers by him and that other guy, so we did walk in to the shop after sweating for a while in another bustling shop.

This guy wasn't just a shrewd Marwadi with a keen eye on konning people. He was an outright charmer. And to his eyes fell Griz...err Griz' phone. The E90 has a "figure" of 132 x 57 x 20 and is all of 210 gms. And the Marwadi is caressing it like he would caress...uh anyways, eventually he raises an eye and an eyebrow and asks Griz:
"Chenagidya phoneu?" (We both realize oh he knows Kannada too) followed by "Eshtu idakke?" and then a "Idralli emailu kaLsi togobahuda??" and then a "Nokia henge sir? Chenagide alva?" and of course the cliched "Yenu neevu software a? Software engineer a?" and ends it with a hearty chuckle and a "Yen sir hinge tegondi bittideeri...Fullu laptop e thoghond hangeh aithu bidi"

Being the owner of the shop leaves him with very little, but bossing over his subordinates and making/answering phone calls. But when there's a lull in both, the mind needs to be engaged and he spends time (I quote him) "taking something from the customer, some or the other gyaan"...Well now thats perfectly acceptable, as long as he's not GIVING the gyaan...For instance, when he tried to defend the unavailability of a particular model of DVD Writer by saying that "Nenne republic day sir...all shops close", he got chided rather unabashedly and patriotically by another customer, who with that mistake probably lost all chance at a discount n shit.
Mr Marwadi also, in the heat of passion, took out his Visiting Card and handing it to a customer, said "Nodi sir naaLe bandbidi namm Debit Card mele guarantee haaki barkodteevi , full Government seal ella haaki kodteevi"

Oh we came back and assembled a PC out of all the boxes btw! Here's my mobo connected to the monitor :D
