Like all years, Diwali purchase this year too was unique. This year it started in Trichy, when me and my friend went to Town. First we thought of going to Pothys, as we crossed it on the Holy Cross road. But we are anti-pothites, and we decided to continue to be so. So, we decided to go to Chennai Silks and then to Sarathas, if needed.

We entered Chennai Silks, and we could see the difference in which its employees treated us. I remembered my co-brother using the phrase "Pothys Effect", to describe some of the changes that happened in Nagercoil, after Pothyees came there.
First we decided to do dress shopping for kids. We went to the boys section, and the Guys in that section showed us many varieties, and helped us a lot in selecting the right dress for my Little friends. After we become fashion conscious, it really takes us a long time to select dresses and apparels, as we are considering many factors like color, cost, quality, fit and uniqueness. Then we went to girls section, where we wanted to get a good modern fashionable dress for my niece. This time, it took us a really long time. Much longer than what we had expected, as our expectation was a bit high. This time again the sales-women was very helpful. She went through the floor, from end-to-end and brought us different varieties of dresses. We were considering from chudi to midi to other modern outfits. After a long search, we found the one, which we both liked, and especially my friend liked it a lot.
Then we moved to men's section. As soon as we entered, the salesman who first caught us, started showing us formal shirts. I stopped focussing on formal shirts long back, and they are not enforced even in software companies nowadays. We went straight inside and started looking into casual and trendy ones. I was not impressed with any of them in the display. My friend liked one particular design, in orange color, which when I tried was a bit misfit. When I tried another one of the same design in a smaller-size, and it was a perfect fit. When I came out of the trial room, my friend was holding another pink-colored-designed shirt, which she wanted me to try. Thus, this time I got two shirts for Diwali. Then we went to the pant section, where the salesman said "free-ya irukkum". We laughed at it, as we were looking for the ones that will be a perfect fit.
We then went to the ladies section. Not much collections were there. We were close to the lunch time, and by this time we became tired. Not much salesperson were there, probably because they might have gone for lunch. Hence we dropped the idea to take Diwali dress from my friend there. We decided to see in a different shop on the next day, but later postponed to take care of it in Chennai.
Then we went to the nearby Archana sweets, where we had snacks. Then we got some sweets and started our journey back to home. That completed the first phase of our Diwali purchase.
