Sale! Sale! Sale! These magical
words could make any woman’s heart skip a beat! After all, shopping is to women
what breathing is to life! Hundreds of square feet full of clothes, shoes,
perfumes, hand bags, jewellery and cosmetics arouse those senses in a woman
which sometimes even a man like Ryan Gosling fails to! Shopping is an art, a
technique that comes naturally to the fairer sex. In-fact to fathom the
tingling sensation of buying those perfect fitted jeans or to grasp the
satisfaction of grabbing those flawless shoes displayed on mannequins, you've got to be a woman! The incredible Shopping-Sutra is something that a
woman is born as a master of!
While to the naive, shopping might
not hold any charm; to us, the blessed few (read women), it is an intricate
art. There are nuances to shopping that only a female heart understands and
treasures. It’s not easy, if anything it the complete opposite of anything
easy!
There is a lot more to shopping
than simply walking into a store and picking up a thing. Reconnaissance, the
first step of shopping lies in scouting for the best places to shop. It’s
anything but cake walk for in the growing crowd of malls and shopping centers finding the haven of everything that warrants lightening the purse, is a
challenge. Once that is done comes the next stage which is short listing the
items to take to the trail rooms for the all important screen test. Believe me
this second step is the toughest more so in a sale as beating the rest of the
shopping tribe and grabbing that last piece is a tactic not mastered by all. The
last step which is definitely not the least is going to the counter and swiping
those cards to emerge proud owners of some of the most beautiful clothes and
accessories in the world.
While men might find solace in the
arms of whiskey and scotch; women find comfort in the aisles of shopping malls.
The sweet smell of clothes on discount or the high of finding the last piece on
the shelves is liberating. What drinking world’s most expensive scotch is to
men, shopping is to women! What driving world’s best luxury car is to men,
shopping is to women! What the blatant joy of cricket is to men, shopping is to
women!
I
search and search but find you not,
I
wait in line to touch you but,
Behind
piles and piles I see you lie,
With
hopeful eyes I make a try,
To
take you in and try you on,
In my
wardrobe to adorn,
I
take you back in bags galore,
For
you are the best I ever wore!
