One person who stands out for his love of bargaining is my uncle Rajesh. I know him since my childhood because he is my father’s younger brother. We have spent a lot of time together, especially during family gatherings and festivals. He is good at buying products at a lower price without compromising the quality. His character became very evident during a family gathering. It was a Saturday evening and everyone was talking with each other in the living room. Suddenly he displayed his latest purchases, a pair of high quality kitchen knives and a stylish shoe which he brought recently. He asked everyone to guess the price. Even though everyone started guessing different prices, nobody was able to say the exact price. At last, two hours of price, he told the price and everyone was quite astonished to hear such a low price for such a high quality item. Before two weeks, I got an opportunity to go with him for a shopping. I saw that he was buying a very beautiful handcrafted item at a reduced price. His motto is, why pay the full price when it is available for less? He always follows that motto. He is also having a good patience, perseverance and keen eye to find the best deals. He often visits local markets and outlets to find the great deals. Even though he buys products at a low cost, whether it is electronics, clothes or household items, everything is durable. Over these years, by seeing his character, I really admire him and I am also inspired to buy more quality products at an affordable price which saves our pocket.
