I am not very rich. I can't buy gold anymore. However, I had the opportunity to visit a Jewellery shop (Gold shop) yesterday. My wife had one or two of her jewellery requiring repairs. So, on her suggestion, we went to the famous "Alukkas" at East Fort. This is located at an excellant location, in front of the Padmanabhaswamy temple.
We went in the shop (I don't like to call it a shop... it's a palace !) and one of the sales persons received us and asked for our requirements. I thought, when we say the repair needs, they may ignore us. But, I was surprised at the way they treated us. A boy (salesman) got us a seat. He took the items requiring repairs, assessed the needs, and gave us a receipt. He told us very politely, that this will be done and delivered in 20 minutes time. So, we decided to roam around the streets.. and come back after some time.
We did that, and after about 40 minutes, we returned to the shop. The items were ready, and they delivered it , nicely packed. I've asked for the bill, and they said it's FREE ! No bills to be paid.. and so we thanked them and walked away.
I realised that this fellows are extremely nice. So, I would like all of you, who needs to do something with gold, to go to Alukkas. They'll treat you well.. and they are very reasonable.. and extremely nice.
The above photograph of the shop (near the Padmanabhaswamy temple) shows the majestic look .
