A couple of days back I went to a local market to do some shopping for my Mom. The kind of market where you get everything of good quality yet for cheaper prices.
Except, such markets are not fit for shopping for your clothing. Because of course if you can afford it, buy one good quality clothing versus 10 cheap quality ones.
The Sindhi in me (wearing uniqlo top and bottoms, not to miss the irony,) forgot this rule. So I ended up buying a nice and cheap lounge wear bottom for ₹150.
To no surprise, it tore apart within a few hours of wearing it.
I still decided to make it useful by taking it to a nearby tailor. After two months of it hanging behind my bathroom door (the only one thing there).
He fixed it, and then charged ₹80!
To look at the bigger picture, ₹230 is still nothing. But the experience followed by effort is worth way more in price.
Lesson learnt: Get a Uniqlo, forget about things for years.
