Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Note:-My old ID somewhat looked funny in such religious group hence I made this new one and now posting messages here while using it. ------------------------------- Senario as usual my office time,my cell phone rings,the number displayed in it was not familiar hence I took little bit of time to reply the call. Caller:-Sir are you Mr.$$$$$$? Yes,what I do for you? Are you interested in buying Rudrakshas? Little pause fm my side and finally I said what bead? 14 came the answer. Yes.What is the size? Size is huge say almost 2 inches! hmmmmmm,price? for you price does not matter,come and have a look.Call ended. I was in dilema what to do,go there or continue normal routine in business days.Finally madeup a mind to check this Rudraksha and filled my tank and left at 5:15 am yesterday. ------------------ Aaiye(welcome),what would you like to have tea/coffee or thanda? (cold drink) Nothing,would love to see the bead.While saying this I realised that I left my magnifying glasses in my car but then decided first let me have physical look and then I shall go and bring the glass or will call the driver to deliver them. He hand me over one transperant plastic box. I saw a huge bead lying in it! My curiocity was unstoppable,I tried to control myself and asked vendor before opening the box-- Is it a new bead or a USED ONE by someone? Naya hi hai,shayad 6 mahine purana hoga(new one perhaps collected 6 months back). I opened the box,bead was really a gem of a piece no doubt and size was almost 2 inches. I started to have a glance on the bead,my heart beats were raising,On The body of bead I could see a trace of dried outershell that means it is original bead BUT Suddenly......................................................... Something fishy I found,I saw 2 to 3 xtra vertical cuts on bead and I looked at the vendor without saying a single word. He was looking at me and asked me Sir dekha hai aisa Rudraksha?(have you ever seen such a bead?) Aisa to nahi dekha hai bhai(never seen) and I gave bead back to him,he was still looking at me and trying to read my face. I got up and said do you have any other 14 mukhi? yes came the reply,Sir don't you like this? I would like to have a look on all you stuff first. Ok,he dialled a no.and said wo leke aao(bring that one). After few mins one guy came and handed a bead to me,now here comes a shocker. When I hold that bead in my hand it was wet and my fingures started to become coloring with violet color...I then hold the bead in my first two fingures and I could see dropping of violet color drops from the bead!!!!!!!!!!! Now I saw at the vendor with my usual business looking eyes(I am a businessman),he was in complete disarray. I saw 3 xtra cuts on the bead though the bead was smaller than the first one.I gave it back,now vendor was in a mood of running away from me. Why you people do this?I drove about 300 kms and in reply what you showed to me? No reply............. Bigger shocker came, Sir are you really interested to buy Genuine 14 mukhi?Kya bhav doge (what will be my price) I replied,when you have a good natural bead call me but if same saga going to happen..DONT BOTHER TO CALL ME EVER. I left his shop. ------------------------- Lesson:-If you have a good eyes you may not need a magnifing lens to check Rudraksha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
