I don't need to pay for this but why?

There are few things which always come for free or have discount on them running continuously. Chutney with samosa, Onions with Raajma chawal,or it can be Kuotons's (50%+49%) scheme :). I bet chutney and onions are worth taking them for free while I will not enter a shop which somehow manages to put a scheme like above. In the end I need to make the decision that the thing I am taking for free is really worth being free. We have been hearing the following quote since ages "बेटा ! जिंदगी में कुछ फ्री नहीं मिलता " (Son! there is nothing called free lunch). I wish I was this smart at that age and could tell my mother about samosa and chutney eternal relationship and how chutney wishes to go for free just to be together with her beloved.

     I wonder why I am not able buy anything when every shop reads SALE! SALE! SALE! in the town. It is not that I have not bought anything while the schemes are around but trust me my past experiences were such that I have not been able to use them to half my money's worth.In the end the costly jeans which I bought by emptying my wallet and taking rest from Gulab is giving me better ROI than the one's which people eagerly wait for seasons to buy.Some people might not agree with this opinion but seriously those who do not plainly put it as You have girlfriend(s) or mom shopping with You all the time or You need to open a business of buy/sell. This reading might have started looking like I am going through monetary and psychological issues. Yes that is true it happens every time when I read SALE!!.
          Few things are real pleasure when You obtain them for free :- food cooked by mom, a friends party,winning a bet,class notes just before the exam and lastly a railway ticket without having to pay an agent or tatkal fees. In the end the factor of joy should be there or at least the harassment after getting it for free should be absent .
My Motto:-When I have a real need to buy on my own I will pay and buy.As simple as that.

I wish if I follow this philosophy God will forgive me and from next time the sole of Reebok shoes which I bought for 50% discount will be adhered to the canvas for more than two months.hahaha
