Off to Bangalore with Quikr...

Aankhon mai sapne liye ghar se hum chal toh diye jane ye rahen le jayengi kahan…!!! This song completely goes well with my life. In a short term of five years of my job I have travelled three cities and this time it was Bangalore. This New Year the managing director and CEO of the company invited me to his personal party so that he could drop the big bomb of Bangalore transfer on me. Somewhere or other I was mentally ready for a transfer but not that far. It was like travelling to the other pole of the globe to meet new people, new language and new life.  These things may sound interesting but in reality they are real headache.


So the good news was that I was transferred again and this time to Bangalore and the bad news was that I had no friends around there to help me relocate and buy household stuffs with me. I was left all alone and was really worried what and how to do and the biggest problem was that where to start from. But it was too late to think about these things and I relocated to Bangalore in an apartment given by the company but it was a vacant one. No furniture, no bed and no arrangement of cooking and washing. They gave me a mattress so that I can sleep on it till I get my apartment furniturised. I shifted in with my luggage and started thinking what to do where to buy stuffs from and suddenly I thought that why not I should try the Quikr website and see if I can find anything of my use there.  
I opened the web browser and went to http://bangalore.quikr.com/ it directly landed me to Bangalore quikr site. I typed in single bed and to my surprise a list of around 10 to 12 single beds flashed on the screen. They were differently priced and were in different conditions. So I chose a few of them and called on the given contact number and got a meeting fixed in the evening. I just can’t explain how happy I was. I was finally going to get a bed for means no more sleeping on the floor. But it wasn’t the right time to celebrate because it was just the beginning and there were still a lot of items left to buy.


The next morning I woke up a bit early and made a list of items I was in urgent need of and then I browsed http://bangalore.quikr.com/ again and stated searching every item category by category. And started taking down numbers of the peoples selling them on a piece of paper so that I could call all of them one by one and ask about their products. So finally I made a list of items I was in need of and called the sellers on the given contact on Quikr. After 5 to 10 calls I got everything shorted out. All I had to do was meet the person bargain, negotiate and buy. At the end of the first week I was completed with everything of my needs.



Quikr doesn’t only save time but also a lot of money. I completed my shopping and spent very less money less than half if I would have bought them new. Quikr has a very well classified service. The site is user friendly and is very well catogriesed in different sections and sub sections making if hustle free.  It helped me setting up my bed room, kitchen and guest room. I bought a second hand LCD and got contacts of few mechanics who fixed my Dish Tv for me. Also got a contact of a plumber who ensured the smooth and clean flow of water it was rusty and leaking from few places. So finally I was done. Its generally said that a hose only turns home when you have a female with you to decorate and take care of it but here Quikr can help you turn your house into a home well it did for me. Why fikar just see Quikr.
