I went to a property expo in Dubai along with Mr Subu.
“Indians are flush with money. There is no recession. Better buy a house now or regret forever,” campaigned a marketing guy.
He continued in a rapid tone as if selling tomatoes: “Don’t keep thinking too much. Just buy,”
I got him closer: “It is really great to hear that all Indians have become rich. Why is it that I and Mr Subu are not in that list though we are also Indians? We think twice even to buy potatoes.”
The guy looked astonished for a moment, checked around and murmured: “Boss. Do not say just two of you. I am also in your list. That makes us three. It’s just that I am doing my job.”
Before I could finish laughing, he went on: “Buy that plot near Shirdi. It will fetch you millions of rupees in just a few years.”
Oh well, if its any consolation I am also in that list...;)
ReplyDeletehahahaha :D the marketing guys would just say anything :P
ReplyDeletelol..add me too to the list
ReplyDeleteHa ha ...quite an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine said once that marketing guys are trained in such a way that they can even sell ice creams in North pole :)
ReplyDeletelol. add me too.
ReplyDeleteVery true! Anything goes when it comes to marketing things :).
ReplyDeletei wish i had a number or two of those rich rich recession proof indians!
ReplyDelete*sigh*

You sold that flat in Burj Khalifa?:):)
ReplyDeleteAll indians are rich - How i wish it were true.
ReplyDeleteoh, now sites at shirdi?. They will even sell the same plot to 3-4 people.
He was doing his assigned job quite well, is it not?
ReplyDeleteFunny how these guys are.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing alright.
Better buy a house now or regret forever - sorry to have to tell you this but this is part of the reason we in England are in such a financial mess. Banks were lending money to buy houses at many times peoples salaries - the result? Many found themselves struggling and unable to manage.
ReplyDeleteoh! for your followers: we didn't go with cheque books like many visitors!
ReplyDeleteThe person at Hiranandani stall was lamenting about Mahrashtra developers making brisk business..
hmmm...bravo for his honesty and bravo for you bringing him to it....
ReplyDeletewow....plot for sale...
There is no doubt that the property market is booming. I know, the prices in Gurgaon have more than doubled in the last about three years.
ReplyDeleteYes, my friend, you and I are not so rich because we are neither part of a political set up nor are we part of 2G scam loot.
As usual lots of smile for this post :):):) P.S.- I am really busy these days sir. This is the main reason why I am not updating my blog on a regular basis. Take care !!!
