Desi tips for saving $$$ - Tip # 2

Ok, so it's summer almost and hey guess what? The Memorial day long weekend is here!  For Desi's that have been here for a while (over 2 years is the guidance), you probably have your parents visiting you. 

It is of utmost importance to complete atleast three of the top desi vacation spots in the US with your parents. 

If you live on the east coast, here is the typical drill around this time of the year. You will have to visit the following places.

1) Niagara Falls - it is pilgrimage spot with an experience almost as holy as a visit to a Tirupathi

2) Washington DC - ok, it is the capital city and all that but the biggest attraction is the museums are free macha !

3) S V Temple - while there is no dearth of temples in India, hey this one is in Americya, dude !

Then there are other spots you will find only on a desi AAA map, but regardless you will need a good camera to take those Rajnikanth ishtyle pics and send them back to uncle/aunty/cousins/orkut page, right? 

So here is another great tip to saving you money on these trips

THOU SHALT GO TO THE NEAREST BEST BUY TO GET A NEW CAMERA

 

You ask why? It is vyery vyery simple logic, ra.  At Best Buy you are most certainly going to get the latest and fanciest cameras, but that is not the wonly reason. Technology is changing so rapidly, the camera you buy this summer is obsolete before fall ! And you do have a friend who picked a $400 Canon and was showing off, until Canon came out with a newer version within 3 months and then he couldn't show off anymore. 

Yes? So here's what you do - pick a nice decent camera at Best Buy, but DO NOT lose the receipt. Take this camera with you on vacation, use it all you want to, and within the 30 day return period, go back to Best Buy and say "Sorry, this is not what I needed, it does not meet my expectations" . Simple, eh? return camera, get refund and repeat same on next vacation ! 

Total Savings -  Yeverything (you didn't spend a penny, remember?)

Howzatt, macha?

P.S - you do not have to return accessories such as SD cards because they are reusable (ah, now using IT concepts also, see we are vyery vyery smart)
