So bad luck appeared. Someone offered the guy 22k instead of 20 and he sold it. I guess i will wait for a new one now.

Yup the price for a new one is going down day by day. Waiting a month doesn't look a bad option to me.
Also is there any other camera in this range that is better than the d5200

but that starts for 30k body only and the picture quality is same....

Image quality is not the only factor to make a camera better than other.
By the way, Canon 700D costs about 28k which includes body and 18-55 kit lens.

Ton of things that go into making a good cam.
- ISO performance
- price of lenses/ lenses available
- ease of use (go to a store and check this)
- viewfinder/screen/live view
- durability/weather proofing
- size/weight
Just to name a few. Tons of stuff that you should read in reviews, See in stores and ask friends.

I wish i had friends with photography knowledge....
. But do you think that first time buyers would or should consider weather sealing and size?

first time buyer may not look for weather sealing coz it starts with nikon D7xxx and canon xxD ...
but size does matter...my D7000 is twice heavy then D3100 ....and when i used to use D3100 it was with 18-55 and now I use D7000 with 17-50 2.8 ...weight is double then before. after sometimes you may feel irritated with the bulk and will feel phone cam is better as you can take it everywhere.
viewfinder plays a bigg role when using manual lens for focussing

Online.
Some local shops may match the online price or at least come close to that, if you negotiate esp. in metros.

So finally it all comes down to convenience.. Isn't it?
Would you please provide me the link for the store. I could not get anything lower than 33k.

Weather sealed body is not of much use (or any use) without a weather sealed lens - and those are expensive. The importance of size depends a great deal on what you do with the camera. I've been asked in many places for 'professional fees' because I'm using a DSLR and have even been stopped from taking photographs because of the size of the lens. Some one else could be using a mirrorless that costs 3 times my DSLR but they get away with it because it isn't shaped like a DSLR or as large. Having a DSLR makes you a much bigger target for theft. Weight can be a very big factor depending on how long you carry it on you. And a large heavy camera means no one will be able to take good photos of you with it because no one can handle the weight unless they are also a DSLR user.

Mirrorless 
i can get away with saying that its an old design point and shoot. People usually hold back my gorillapod though

No, I don't know any stores personally. I live in a small town where they offer discount upto 8% off of MRP, that's the best I could get when I was looking to buy one four years ago. Other than one time (it was a diwali offer in Reliance digital 15% cash back + some goodies. It was as good as online deals), I always get quote only a few % off.
Over the years, I have heard many get good deals offline too when they negotiate price. If you want best deals, you have to wait for four months, it comes around dushera time. The best deals (upto my knowledge) for D5200 was around 24.5k and currently I see some online quotes for about 26.5k. You think 2k is worth more than waiting for another 4 months?

Keep tracking though, good offers show up at random times. So use something like the buyhatke extension to keep tracking the prices on all the top sites. Buy it the day it falls
