high.

shopping and me are inseperable.. ok make that dad's (hard earned) money+ me = shopping. nice equation i must say. it is beneficial to both sides. for me.. more clothes! for dad he feels guilty for not spending time with me. so here i go off shopping again. the thing about shopping and me is that i donot need to buy... even if a friend buys im happy. it does not take much to make me happy.. simple pleasures like shopping will do.
when i say shopping dont misundersatnd the statment like saying oh a tshirt or jeans perhaps.. i have like a p.hd in shopping and a specialisation in window shopping. planing on opening a college sometime. ;) lol.. ok so i went shopping again today. note the word 'again' ;). and as usual i went with my friend and well we shopped for like three hours and spent quite a bit of money. the thing is that i donot need to buy expensive stuff.. tshirts or earrings and more than adequate. like i said simple pleasures. mum has totally given up on me.. now when she sees the bags she does not even react.
over a period of time this shopping 'madness' (as mum calls it) has manifested itself. shopping is not just buying clothes.. its the art of buying anything with fathers money (but ofcourse!). and its not just shopping for myself.. i can shop for anyone.. with anyone.. provided the other person is game enough to last for atleast 3 hours of shopping. atleast. i remember like a year ago maybe my friend and me did a one day trip to bangalore just to shop! morning train to bangalore.. shopped!! took the night train back.
retail therapy brings with it a high of its own.. i never fully realised this until today.. i actually went shopping to escape a family lunch plan. and we finished shopping but the lunch was still going on.. and in my 'high state' i had half a mind to join the lunch!! we should bottle retail therapy. im sure business will be rocking.

Good Blog...Sometimes i just feel like buying something..may be a dvd or a book to add another to the collection. Shopping too is fun to realise your interests , analyze them and then finally choose the best one.

Nice Blog

shopping's awesome. It's like chicken soup for the woman's soul ;-)

AJEYA RAO said...

Ok lets put it this way then...its an interest to identify your interest...You dont shop for things that you are not interested in..do you? It should not be just a way to spend money :)

SDR said...

@ rads: hahahaha chicken soup for the soul!! good one.. ;)

@ ajeya rao: ok now u gave me a reason to spend more.. since i DONT spend 'unnecessarily'.. or tht i 'dont' waste money.. more shopping in the da house ;)
