To my newly owned priced possession……
Very little
did I know that this would happen so quickly. Since the month of September 2015
I have been doing all sort of market
research and surveys to buy a second hand car ( was badly looking for a lucky deal ). I had spread the word with some friends who I thought
could be of help.
But somehow
things never moved in the way until that day. Like they say ,
“ When its right its RIGHT”
One cold
morning ,on the by-lanes where I used to
go for a jog, I came across this vehicle with a sign board saying For sale : contact 9321429007 .I vividly remember that instant
, it was 7.15 AM and I dialed this
number to try my luck. The phone was ringing on the other side but nobody
seemed to answer the call.
I was just about to hang up ( feeling disappointed)
and the phone was answered.
I asked the
receiver all sort of questions a FIRST CAR BUYER would want to know on that call itself.
I told him
my budget and he was reluctant to offer me anything at that range .But he asked me
to come to his store and meet him to see if other options could be worked
out if possible.
I went for
the first meeting with a friend. We were shown 2 -3 vehicles already beyond our range .That friend did a good job by checking the
vehicle in all possible ways. We had a small discussion about the overall
condition of the vehicle and we came back.
We negotiated hard and closed the
deal not by giving cash but by giving a WORD( after being satisfied the asset is good to own: though I was not 100%
sure even then)
For them they believe a word is worthier and a million in rupees,
After moving
out from there I was elated that I am moving closer to what I had anticipated. But
there was a substantial amount of apprehension on my mind. This was because ,for
the very first time I was planning for such a transaction ( BIG Money ) and
that too without the complete knowledge of my parents.
I started
mentally planning the expenses for the balance month , which account will be impacted, ways of
convincing my hommies so on and so forth.
I would not
be lieing when I am saying I could not sleep well that night . Frankly I got up at 530 AM that morning and my mind
denied to put me back to sleep.
By 7 AM I
got up from my bed deciding to follow my schedule and went for a walk. Well ,WALK was just a reason, I wanted to see
what I had been thinking all about the
previous day.
I reached
where the car was parked and went all along the periphery of the car to check
if this is what I had closed the deal for.
Then on my
way back HOME I pondered over it and then I was really “HAPPY” and then this was the final emotion
thereafter :D:D
Soon I began
thinking and planning of parking space (Mind it , there is no parking space
available in my building :D ) token amount (oops!! missed something IMPORTANT I had
no license. Be rest assured: not even a learning license :D ) transfer
documents etc.

joy; pride and makes you more responsible.
