So, this year I took admission in ISBR Bangalore. I had to maintain the decorum of the college and for doing so, I had to buy black leather shoes (casual). I talked to the gatekeeper and asked him to show some mercy on me for the next two days. He said it’s alright.


So, on the same evening, I went to a nearby BATA showroom with my younger sister. I decided not to waste a big amount of money on it. I was thinking to buy those shoes within 1500 Rs.


I went inside the BATA showroom with my sister and started looking for a few shoes. But, there were no shoes and thus, I went upstairs. I saw a huge collection of shoes there. I started selecting and checking whether it is looking good or not. Finally, I liked a pair of shoes and I asked about the cost of those shoes. A guy who was showing me the shoes replied - mam, it’s 4-nine-nine. I was astonished as it was BATA showroom and I was about to get a shoe in 499 Rs. I was very happy, I said pack it and I moved down to the counter.


The guy who was showing me the shoes was looking very happy as he was about to get some profit from whatever money I was supposed to pay. With a grin on his face, he too moved down to the counter and kept that shoebox. I opened my bag’s chain, took 500 Rs. note and put it over the counter desk. He started looking at me in a bizarre manner. I said- “what”?

He replied- Mam, it’s 500 Rs. I said it’s fine, keep that 1 Rs. as a tip and started smiling.


He then said- “O madam, these shoes cost 4-triple-nine. I said what!!

I was actually laughing at myself. I replied- Oh, sorry!I don’t have that much cash, will visit someday else and I rushed from there.


My younger sister is a good observer, she laughed and said SURPRISINGLY BATA and then, she directed me to see the front look of the BATA showroom. I turned around and saw a poster of Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon. She said- you should get the price earlier by looking at his poster.

That was the most embarrassing shopping experience I ever have till date.
