To buy or not to buy???

It is a kind of a universal fact that women love shopping. Well, whats not to love??? :-) I mean is it our fault that women have a diverse range of products??? No!!! 


Question: Say a guy walks into a shoe store what will he ask for? 
Answer: Sneakers, formal shoes, floaters or at the most chappals.


Question: What can a girl buy in a shoe store?
Answer: Flat boots, high heel boots, ankle length boots, knee length boots, calf high boots, pointed toes in boots, boots with a zipper, without a zipper, gumboots etc. And this list is only about the boots. There are other kinds of footwear(with a lot of choices) too. 


My point here is don't blame women to be shopaholics. When there is so much in the world to buy, why resist? And besides don't men like to dress up and look good?  All those men who just nodded in affirmation, I guess its time for to come out of the closet and admit to the whole world that secretly men like to buy new stuff new. Don't know what to do about it? Well for starters follow my lead... Stand in front of the mirror and shout out loud - I AM A SHOPAHOLIC!!! See that wasn't difficult...

:):):):):)

P.S. : Writing all this makes me crave to buy something. So off I go...

Books Books everywhere... What should I read?

Ever bought books when you know you do not have time to read them? In fact there already are like a gazillion unread books at your home already? Well, WELCOME to my side of the world. i recently bought sixteen - yes thats right 'sixteen' - books at the International Book Fair held at Pragati Maidan. But I just don't have time to read em...


Whenever I pick up a book outside my course to read(doing  masters in English literature), I feel that I should first try and concentrate on the stuff I would be graded for. But that doesn't stop my obsession with shopping for books. I just can't resist that enchanting smell of parchment in a place full of books. When I walk past a counter I swear I can hear the books calling out my name, begging me to buy them and promising to entertain.


And top of everything bookstores take advantage of my weakness and offer a bargain on them. I mean how can you leave a book with costs only 100 bucks??? How does it matter if that 100 rupees book is about 'scrapbooking'??? Yeah, that's true... I have this book too :) :)..


Well what can i do? 'BOOKS' are my first love. And its a universal fact that a girl never gets over her first love...  Trust me, they are the ideal lover one can ever hope for. Sad or happy, angry or calm, anxious or curious - what better companion can one have but an amazing book?


That reminds me I have got to get back to my reading... so... Aufwiedersehen...
