I feel that you should travel light since most of the imported stuff is available in India at comparable prices...I shall give you prices of a wide variety of stuff :

Laptop Acer : Rs 29,999
Sony 21 TV : Rs 10,000
Most branded AC's : Rs 10,000
DVD's : Rs 3000 upwards




Are you in India or just dreaming?

I would love to buy an air conditioner for 10K. Quickly tell me where can I find one. And please do not give the URL of an auction site.

Following is a link to Samsung's company website, showing the price for a 1.0 ton window AC apprx Rs. 14,000. One thing I know that the prices shown on the company websites are higher than what you may get at the Dealer's shop.

Why am I going back for good?.... simply because I dont like in here!! I dont belong here, this is not my land, not my people. I cant see a thing here which I cant get back in india. My life in Delhi was much more cheerful and complete. After all money isn't every thing.



Good for you! I presume you had a job and are not going back because of lack of success. In which case IMO, it does take a lot of courage to take that course.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but just curious.

So, how long did it take you to reach that conclusion? I mean the points you have mentioned are quite common and apply to just everybody. Also, what you have mentioned is something that you must have known even before you came here. What happened? Any specific issues?

No there are no specific reasons. Its just that after comming here I have realised all this. I weighed the 2 situations and I guess India was a winner!

Hey Indione, we usually dont get a one ton AC for our rooms, its 1.5 tons and that will easily cost around Rs 18000 plus for installation and stabiliser.

Take back with you:

Selling skills
Packaging skills
presentation skills
the habit of saying Thank you even to your subordinates and to people who might have done the smallest of acts to benefit you, even thought mandatory for them.
the habit of not breaking the queue to get attended earlier than others

And so on and so forth!

Think twice b4 taking any costly electronics back home for two reasons : customs will tear u apart literally and almost on all electronics u need a waranty which may not b applicable in India .Even in case of International its valid only on a customs receipt .

Plus u can get the same Market / SN Market @ comparable prices.

Better option carry clothes and other stuff .
