“Ok!! What about this?” I asked her. Showing her the entire catalogue of the Smartphone that's available on Amazon.
“Tell me the features again?” she asked as If I was the one trying to make the sale.
At that point, I was really trying to make a sale. Even when its not my product or my shop, but I was feeling the whole weight of being a salesman infornt of a very confused woman. I mean We have been on this single task for last 3hrs.
“I think Amazon and all the other online shopping platforms should have a cooldown period. Say if you haven’t made a purchase or added anything to the cart for say like 2-3hrs your account is locked and will be unlocked after, let say 5hrs. What you say?” I asked her, after clicking on the POCO M6 Plus and the page was loading.
“Tch.. Please time waste mat karo in faltu ki baaton mein.” [Eng Translation. - Don’t waste time on all these stupid thoughts.] she replied.
“6GB RAM, 128GB Storage, 108 megapixels rear Camera, 13 megapixels front camera, and Average Battery. This is the exact same specs as the other one and the previous one”. I replied with little irritation in my voice.
“Oh, Ok!! If they all are the same, then why is there a price difference in all these phones?” She asked.
“They are of different companies, and the processors are different, that's why?” I replied.
“Ah!! See. So you are not telling me everything till now.” She said. [Man Translation - The delay is your fault]
“Oh, Hello!! Ek minute. What processors have to do with this? You said, Good Camera, Good Screen, Good Storage. And I’ve been telling you that only. And since when do you care about the processors? We have been together for almost 6 years now, and this is the first time I heard you use the word processor.” I accused her.
“Kya!! I had been complaining about the previous ones' slowness. Do I have to specify processors now?” She replied.
“It's a common issue. All devices get slower over time. Moreover, Processors matter for Gaming”
“Haan.. I too game naa.”
“Candy Crush and Temple Run?” I glared.
She probably understood that processor is not to be considered.
“Theek hain so How many we have finalised?” She asked.
Finally, I thought to myself.
“4 Models. This one, Redmi 13 5G, this one and Lava Blaze2.” I opened 5 tabs on my Chrome browser, displaying the final 4.
“Ye wala nikal do..” [Eng Translation - Remove this one.] She pointed to Lava Blaze2
Whaaattt!!! That's the most economical one.
“But Why?” I asked the reason, though I shouldn't. I should focus on the finish, not on these reasons.
“Design theek nahi laga..”
“OK”, I resisted defending that model. Focus on the finish, bro, I said to myself. Soon we will have the winner.

Hi Folks,
I know it's been a while since I tried storywriting, and this is not even a story, just something I encountered and is fictionalised. I dont discuss things with my Wife, I buy and face the consequences. HEHE Just Kidding. Please take this Episode lightly and share your feedback. I will be back with a new one soon. It would be a great help if any of you could guide me with the AI image generation.
As always, big thanks to IndiaUnited and the BeAwesome community for their love and support. See ya all soon.
