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.

Through his writing, he celebrates a simple yet powerful belief: life is filled with challenges, and it's up to each of us to turn those moments into stories worth remembering.
