Hello friends, how are you all doing today, hope that all of you will be fine and doing posting on steemit. Today I will share my Diary game here.

"Diary Game"

I will share diary game of shopping which we did 2 days ago. I and my friend went to Karim Block in Lahore to do shopping for our self. I didn't went there to do shopping but eventually I saw a jacket and I could not stop my hands to buy it. It was very beautiful and I was into it. My friend was interested to do shopping there for himself and his cousin, who live in village, so my friend wanted to buy things for him also.

It were 5 pm, my friend came to me and told me that he was doing shopping. I was doing nothing at that time so I told him let's go. I told him I will be ready in 10 mins so wait for me. I told him to take out the bike from parking lot and park it at front of the hostel, so when I am ready I will come down and we will start journey directly without wasting more time. This is a good idea when a person is free so he have to do other work to minimize the consuming time, he was ready when he to me. Moreover, you can also point out any problem associated with the motor cycle.

"Karim Market/Karim Block"

  • Karim block is famous place in Lahore Pakistan. This block is located in Iqbal Town. In Karim block there is a famous market which called Karim Market. You will find a lot of things here for selling, as a customer you will buy things and as a seller you will sell things here. Here you will find cloth shops, shoes shops, curtain shops, jackets, sweater etc. Moreover, when you feel hungry you can also find food stalls here. Here is a place attached to the market called Food street of Karim block. Every type of food stalls are available here to remove your appetite.

  • This the map of Karim block in Lahore. Further, the market is well organized, the shops are parallelly setup to avoid traffic. Police and authority members are present here to control customers and sellers from creating problem.

"Shopping"

Initially, we started shopping of the person who was sitting in his village and we were to buy things for him. We bought 2 pants; cotton pants, 2 t-shirts and 1 casual shirt for my friend's cousin.

  • These were the products he selected for himself, the funny thing was that he was doing online shopping with trust issues so he selected us to it, he will first select it and then we will check it that it is a good quality stuff or not.

We WhatsApp the photos to him. He selected the yellow casual shirt between these two. The cloth prices have risen too much, 2 years ago I bought local jeans pant for myself and it costed 600 PKR but today we were buying cotton pant and shopkeeper told me that it's price is 1700 PKR, not less than it. We bought others things from the same shop so he gave it to us for discounted price. Total was above 6000 but I lowered the price till 5000 PKR, around 68.4 STEEM. The steem price is 73.05 PKR today.

  • Further we were looking for jackets and sweater, the friend who was with me was interested to buy a jacket for himself. So, we went from shop to shop to find a better jacket and also in a good price; this was difficult task for us.

  • I captured some glimpse of the streets which we covered to find the jacket.

  • There were shops whose products were aligned outside the shops for better visibility for the customers. We stopped there and wore the jackets available there. There was a lot of stuff available; very beautiful jackets but the price was not negotiable so left them.

  • Finally

  • After walking for more than a hour, we found the shop where things were negotiable. The prices were high but with negotiation you can get a better shopping material. We selected a yellow jacket in this shop, we negotiated with seller but he was not giving it to us on our demanded price. The selling price was 7000 PKR for one jacket.

  • I went with my friend for shopping but eventually I saw this jacket, wore it and went at front of the shop mirror. I clicked some photos of it. I was very suiting with my personality but the price was higher from my budget and I was not having enough money to buy it.

  • Capturing some more photos and also captured the internal photo of the shop. The shop was decorated accordingly. There was mirror available, a plus point for customers to find a suitable jacket and hoody for themselves.

Finally, we selected this yellowish cream color jacket. My friend was interested in it. We bargained the seller but he was not agreeing on our bargaining amount. He told us that final price will be 5000 PKR with discounts, before us a customer took bought another jacket in front of us with 4500 PKR. I told the seller the last price I will offer will be 3500 PKR; I was thinking if I tell him 3500 PKR so he will agree with us on 4000 PKR but he told me to leave the shop....hahaha.....I think he was upset with my bargaining price.

  • We the shop and further visited the other shops and found that everyone was not agreeing with 4000 price so came back to that shop and told the shopkeeper that final price I will pay to you will 3800 PKR, he didn't like that, so I told him Ok I will leave it, he called me that final will be 4000 PKR....I smile with myself and bought this yellow jacket for my friend.
We paid the money for the jacket and I told him that there another one jacket, I will buy it if you final it on 3000 PKR but he was not interested. I asked him last time that I will never came back if didn't give me this on 3000 PKR.....I was thinking that he will go for his price till 3500 PKR but he didn't accepted it and told me that last price will be the same 4000 PKR......So, I told him that, "Nice, talking to you but I will never pay 4000 PKR for 2nd one because when a person buys a 1 product so there should be more discount on the 2nd product from the same shop

  • We didn't agreed on it and thus, I left the jacket. Took photos of it that I will look for same jacket in other areas when there is discount available.
"I think the Diary game is going on to be longer so let's end it here. We did a lot of shopping, I will share the prices below to be more specific and to convert it into steem price."
