So, a month ago we had gone to a mall and there they had a Van Heusen outlet. Sambit had chosen a Grey coloured shirt for his father, but it was a little more expensive than we estimated. So he said, “Let’s go back today. I will come back and buy this one after I get my first salary.” The Shirt was fantastic, so good that even I was considering buying that for my father. Days went by after this and by mistake, Sambit forgot to buy the Shirt.
Now the day came and Sambit had his train at 3 AM in the morning and he was just checking if he had taken everything. It was 12.30 AM and he suddenly remembered that he has forgotten to buy that Shirt. He became so upset; he just sat on his chair and started cursing himself. After a while, I came into his room, with THE SHIRT on my hands and I could see tears in his eyes. As I asked him, “what happened?” he rubbed his eyes, looked at me and then looked at the Shirt. He was so surprised. He just stood up and came to me and snatched the shirt from my hands and asked, “Where did you get this Shirt? This is the same shirt no?” I replied very casually, “Yes. I went to the mall that day and was coming out when I saw the Van Heusen store and remembered about the shirt. So I just bought it. Put it in your bag now and book a cab, you are already running late.” Without saying anything he just hugged me and started laughing loudly. Maybe it was the first time in the 4 years when he said thank you to me. He was just overwhelmed with joy and was laughing continuously.
After he left, I started thinking and I realized what actually I had done for him. Maybe I was happier than Sambit at that time. And it was all because of that Van Heusen Shirt. I never knew, or rather realized before this incident that a brand can have such a huge impact on someone’s life. And there are only very few brands, like ABG who are always there beside you silently, always ready to spread smiles and positive vibes, just waiting for the opportunity.
