A singing desk trinket

Today was such a tiring day. It may sound silly to you guys but I went in search of a cute little radio that I saw at a novelty gift store some three years back! Why would I want such a thing you ask? Well basically I like radio but don't listen to a lot of it because my room doesn't have a radio. Anyways I went around my city's shopping district but it was of no avail! I didn't find what I was looking for and I'm starting to resent my past self for not buying the radio!
I went from shop to shop looking for the radio but didn't find it moreover the afternoon sun was meaner to me than usual which made the whole experience frustrating and tiresome. I walked into another novelty shop in one of Bangalore's most popular mall. I was at this point rather edgy and fast reaching breaking point. 'Excuse me' I said to the manager looking at him straight in the eye, 'do you have a radio? An FM radio, you know the colourful ones you normally stock?' 'hmmm... No...' he said nonchalantly and if this wasn't infuriating enough he added, 'we don't keep them, it comes in sometimes.. not sure when we get them...' I was enraged by his pugnacious placidity! I mean here I was, dehydrated and delirious from going to all those shops and he was absolutely apathetic to my plight! I taught of giving him a well placed shot to the nose with just enough force to break the cartilage inside, I thought that his disfigured nose will serve as a reminder that customers should always be treated with respect. I even envisioned a bright new future for him for this, 'smack with destiny' will infuse in him godlike salesmanship qualities and he could quickly move up the corporate ladder, become rich and one day in an interview he would merit his success to a disgruntle customer A.K.A moi! Unfortunately for him I was still sort of socially conscious, so instead of giving him a life changing, nose altering, blow to the face I said, 'Ah...I see... OK then.' it was with these pathetic words that I left the store and walked towards my favourite cafe. As I dinned on scrambled eggs and coffee I wondered if I had done a great disservice to the gentleman. I held within my hands the opportunity to change someone's life but I let it slip cause of decency and all the good crap. I'm rather disappointed at myself but life has taught me that it's rather foolish dwelling on the past, instead I must look at the future and never let an opportunity like this slip... never again should I let an opportunity like this slip!


P.S
does anybody know where I can get a cute radio (by a cute radio I mean a nicely shaped and colourful radio) in Bangalore city? Even an online seller will do, please leave it in the comments (if at all I have any readers that is!)

Also - this post as been written in Google docs and this in my first post from a Linux desktop! (I had to say this, however irrelevant it may seem!)

I also wanted a radio; my phone seems to do it (has an FM in it.) Love those radios, though
