Numerous vehicles were zooming along
the wide concrete street rapidly. The soft
sound of mild raindrops battering the
footpath and stone sidewalk outside the
twin glass doors of their showroom was
constantly hitting the staff's ears. Hiten
was tapping away on the white keyboard
of the desktop. Brown rimmed glasses
perched on his pointed nose, he was
casting cautious glances at the customers
approaching the reception for paying
their bills either in cash or through
net banking. Few were even paying
through drafts, cheques and pay orders.
Girish and Farhan were explaining the
pleasures of LED television sets to a
young couple. The lady and her partner
seemed to be newly married. They were
being quite careful about setting up their
house. Till now, they had purchased a
new samsung double-door fridge, four
new split air-conditioners, a latest 10kg
Samsung top-loading washing machine
and a large glass-topped 4 burner Faber
cooktop along with a filter chimney of
the same company. The salespersons
were amazed at the lady as she was
truly an intelligent person. She had
selected all the excellent models of
all the appliances. She even managed
to convince the sales manager about
giving them a hefty discount. After
haggling with the guy for almost 30
minutes, the lady got him to agree to a
bill amounting to 300000/- rupees. Her
husband was a soft mannered and shy
person. He was simply blinking and
nodding his curly head at whatever his
wife said. Finally as the sales manager
agreed to her request, the lady grinned
triumphantly and pulling out wads of
500 rupee notes from her handbag,
walked toward the billing counter. For-
warding her right arm, she handed over
the cash to the cashier. As Hiten got busy
in counting out the notes, another pair
of customers walked in through the
doors. The evening was cold and the
atmosphere inside the showroom had
slowly become quite noisy. The ground
floor had been frequented by less peo-
ple in comparison with the two upper
storeys. After 20 full minutes, the young
couple left the showroom to go home.
Their delivery was scheduled for the
next day around afternoon. A middle
aged couple along with their 2 sons and
some employees were roaming along
the second storey. They were among the
regular customers of the showroom. A
quarter of an hour had passed since they
reached the display corner. Sameer
Joshi was the in-charge of this section.
He was patiently following the little
group, showing them the latest models
of refrigerators. Ranging from LG to
Samsung and Whirlpool, there was a
wide variety of products to choose from.
The sales and delivery along with the
installation and repair services provided
by snehaanjali were highly efficient. All
the people who made purchases from
them were always satisfied with their
work. The owner and staff constantly
went out of their way to ensure that
their customers never had to face any
issues regarding their cooperation.
Slowly, the showroom emptied out as
the last group of customers went down
the short and broad stairway leading to
the ground storey. The Verma couple
along with their sons Dhiren and Soham
neared the billing counter. Meanwhile,
the helpers accompanying them got busy
with filling out the billing details for the
delivery challan. Having settled the nece-
ssary tasks, the group exited the show-
room after making their payment. A few
minutes after the last customers left, it
was time for the showroom to close for
the day. Puneet and Aslam instructed
the salesboys and receptionist Girish to
wind up everything quickly. Girish was
just packing up after shutting off the
computer when the black beetel phone
placed in the farthest corner of the LED
display unit rang. Turning around, Tarun
raised an eyebrow and sighing in an irri-
tated manner, walked over to the little
Mahogany wood table for answering it.
