Recently, I had gone for shopping.... this session of mine was fairly over-due. I had not shopped since a long time. When I was just about to pay up, a friend from US called and was (acted) reluctant to talk once he knew I was shopping. Since he was making fun of me I told him that I had not shopped since long. He immediately empathized and said.. "ohhh!! not since last Saturday??". Me: "Almost after 2-3 months. Boss I really have no cloths to wear in office. I just bought 2 tops last month... that’s it!!" His immediate reply was "What??? you spent last one whole month alternating between those two tops…??". That's when I realised how futile it was to pursue the conversation...so topic changed...
But one thing I don’t understand is why people make fun of girls who love shopping... I only see these girls getting smarter in:
But one thing I don’t understand is why people make fun of girls who love shopping... I only see these girls getting smarter in:
- dealing with coaxing salesmen, not really buying what (really) not needed!
- haggling with the best "bhaiyya" in town.. getting the best deal out of him (yet thinking she got duped)!!
- resisting the temptation of buying more than one just that one...over priced top/ skirt (one is always justified and you can average it out with a dirt cheap purchase... like a 100 buck tee or a road side footwear!) ,
- not looking at that Fossil/ Diesel/Esprit watch section or the fragrance section...uhh I mean not one more time after checking it out just once and then finally buying just one thing that she badly wanted and had been secretly saving (even she dint know until then)
- lasting for 2-3 hours without food or water... or... loo break for that matter,
- during sale...trying not to fight with some crazy women in line for the changing rooms (who needs temper control workshops?)
- Convincing mom, dad, brother, boy friend and the damned neighbor that she got the best deals
- Lastly convincing self that she got the best deals and will surely fit in those clothes that are slightly smaller in size but bought it anyway as she is on a diet!
