Cashify my Mom's Smile

This is amazing. This is awesome … This works like magic for me … Don’t think , just go for it … Match made in heaven … Perfect fit.

Marriage and Electronic devices are 2 things on which everyone has an opinion to share.  When I planned to buy a laptop and asked for feedback from my colleagues , Everyone gave 10/10 marks and told me to go for it .Overwhelmed by  the response , I instantly ordered the machine online and planned almost 30-40 activities I will perform once it get delivered .
Then Reality striked , when after 3-4 days of use , machine started slowing down . First I thought it’s a usual process of adaptation, but the revival never happens. I made few calls to customer care and even multiple rounds to service centre but all was in vain. When I discussed those issue with my colleagues who recommended this machine in first place, another shock was served. None of them has ever used this laptop and not even saw anyone using it . Just like when bachelor says “Get married dude, it’s one of a lifetime experience “when in person they have not felt the real side. Actually, When I shared with them the Laptop model, they all googled and referred the same paid review post appearing on Page 1 of search engine. So the brand SEO strategy striked the deal making them all believe that world has all praise for their devil in saint costume laptop  .

This SEO strategy and so called ROLE model Tech geek paid reviewers caused me loss of 45K on an bull-shit laptop. After a while, I kept it aside and fortunately I got a new job and came a new machine.
An entire year the laptop was sitting right below my desk almost being invisible to my eyes till diwali happened. My mom , who once in a while decide to audit my room and which generally happens when diwali approaches .Unwillingly , I have to provide an all access pass to my room as she is the home and finance minister of our house .

“ If I remember rightly , You bought this machine last year around same time and seems like it has hardly been used “ 

‘ Yes Mom , There were some issue with his laptop and I don’t use it anymore and I just want to igone it “ “ So forget it and keep it somewhere in almirah , I will think of it later “
“ Son , I know you “ “ Once , Something goes out of your mind and heart , it never comes back . This has been happening during your childhood even with the toys. So better find good use of it and get over, else every year this conversation will be repeated “
“Ok , Your wish is my command . I will get it done in next 7 days before diwali “.

Promise has been made, but this one was hard to be kept. I asked everyone in my close family and friends circle if someone is looking for a laptop. But, in age of fast changing technology people only want to buy gadgets with latest specifications. So, the response was almost Nil with 1-2 random people planned to buy it at PRICE OF Junk.
Online , Offline and even on the gossip line , the days was getting over and so was the patience . Finally , I saw an advertisement in newspaper of an exchange offer . Where they were allowing exchange of anything in return for an discount on new induction cooker .. “ Laptop for cooker ??? Really .. “

But as deadline was about to get closed , I took this deal and got 4,500 discount on new induction stove worth 7500 .
Deal has been done and price has been paid . in 1 year my 45K became 4.5 k and left me with lot of bitterness in my mind .

I gave this induction stove to my mom as gift and when she told me that she has been thinking of getting this one for past 1.5 year , all bitterness washed out with pinch of sweetness from smile on her face . Finally , I made peace with this 1.5 year old mistake and at least my laptop earned me something valuable in the end.
