*** Many of us have gone thru that experience Umesh. Don't use the
experience for self-pity. It is wonderful that there are places like
the Thrift Stores where one can buy good stuff, albeit 'pre-owned' (
or worn), for a very reasonable ( don't call it 'cheap') price. My
first purchases in the US were at the Thrift Store in Pasadena,
California. That neighborhood, also once known as skid-row, is gone
now. It is one of the most popular hangout spots of metro LA now,
called Old Town Pasadena. Just been there, terrific place to be.
