Lucky to be unlucky :-)

My Bangalore residence is located in a pleasant and well established area. After several sweltering years in Madurai and Trichy, the buoyant ambience is something new and exciting. Few yards away from my residence there is a super market. I was initially very happy about this as if blessed with all facilities near my house. As days progressed I realized that Bangalore has an unwritten rule, "A minimum of one supermarket per street". There are around 6 supermarkets to cover a span of three streets. So the ephemeral excitement vanished eventually and I got a feel of a grocery shop with a liquor section. Yeah !!!!! you get liquor and misc stuff in the same place without harming your "Royal Sophistication". And the inquisitive thing here is that,the security personals won't check your baggage or bills if they sense the "exciting din" from your purchases. Is it due to deference or disrespect ??? No idea.

One fine morning I went there to buy some stuffs. There was this guy standing near the egress who attracted my attention.

Guy : Sir, fill this lucky coupon.

Nothing struck me except the fact that its a "Lucky"coupon. LUCKY !!!! Wow will it bring me a xbox 360 or ipod touch or semiprofessional camera !!! whimsy, but can't help it. These are certain stuffs I used to add to my cart in any online shop hoping to buy it someday.Or will this luck reduce the amount of luck in the "luck bank" allotted to me by the almighty. Noooooo, I m thinking of investing the entire amount in getting a girl friend, a dream and ambition that stands top in my wish list !!!! But since I m unsure about the amount of luck alloted to me and being an optimist I decided to give it a try.

Me : Should I fill all the details?? (It was asking about my salary)
Guy : No sir, Just fill your name and mobile number ??

Anything fishy ????nah nah nah what a poignant face !!!! He must be nice guy and come on, its a "LUCKY" coupon. I filled up the required details and left the shop.

Same day I went there with my friends for a purchase. The same guy was standing there and he asked all of us fill the "LUCKY" coupon.

Me: (still ignorant)Morning I filled one. Is it ok to fill it again? (Wow I m increasing the probability to be lucky !!!!)

Guy: Of course sir. You can fill it agian.(With witty smile and poignancy intact)

How generous !!!! Bless this guy . Being a recidivist by nature I filled the coupon almost every time I went there, so did my friends. Days passed and my friends started receiving calls from some club, almost everyone. I became bit suspicious but still blamed my bad luck.

One day I got a call from some club,

Sweet Voice: I m saloni calling from xyz club. Would you like a membership ?
Me : No thanks
Sweet Voice : No problem sir . Thank kooooooooooo !!!! (Oh my god)

After few hours I got a call from the same number.

Sweet Voice: I am ayesha from xyz club. Congrats Sir, you are the lucky winner of xyz club. The coupon you filled got selected.
Me :Oh really, Saloni??
Sweet Voice : ah hmm Ayesha sir. Sir,You have won a trip to Indonesia (What a place !!). Please come to xx location for a meeting and you just got to pay 30k.
Me : Wow thats great !!! But how come all of them in my room can be lucky winner ??
Sweet Voice : ke kooo keeee keeee keeee (A laugh that reminded me of a whining junior pig when cornered)You guys are so lucky sir !!
Me : Ya I know how lucky I m, Saloni alias ayesha. I wish to be unlucky. Don't disturb me again regarding this.
Sweet Voice : ke koooo keeeee keeeee keee Tang koooooooooo !!!!! (God !! save the world)

But, as a recidivist will be immured several times, I was also subjected to this scam for each and every crime (coupon) I committed.

Moral of the story :
Shopping malls are not the places that preserve your "Royal sophistication". Its a place where this sophistication is exploited.
