A Sony Tale

What should have been a simple upgrade from an aging television to a newer model turned into a month-long saga of decisions, dilemmas, detours—and a few delightful surprises.

"A Sony Tale" is not just about buying a TV. It's a light-hearted, real-life account of how a 40-inch screen with flickering dots set off a ripple of conversations, consultations, showroom visits, Wi-Fi plans, failed installations, budget surprises, mounting challenges (quite literally), and unexpected wisdom from family, salespeople, and service technicians alike.

What began as a straightforward plan to replace our old Sony TV with a similar-sized LED soon spiraled into an epic quest—guided by the ever-growing inches of screen recommendations from family members. From 40 to 55, to 65, and finally landing on a mammoth 75-inch display, the journey was filled with more twists than a primetime drama.

Between Airtel installations, cheque clearances, power stabilizers, wall-mount challenges, missing table stands, and last-minute screen guard advice, each moment added its own flavor to the experience. And at every step, one thing became clear: even in the age of digital convenience, some purchases still bring people together, ignite debates, and create stories worth telling.

This book is my humble attempt to capture that story—one filled with humor, everyday complications, and the joy of turning a domestic decision into a memorable life chapter.
