confessions of a shopaholic...
just the other day i was reading this book "confessions of a shopaholic"...and i just felt that its quite easy for most of the girls to relate with some parts of the book in one way or another.I don't know what is this thing so jubilant about shopping specially for girls.Why it is such an enchanting affair for them.I too am very fond of shopping so are all the girls..at least the ones i know.Obviously i'm no shopaholic, but i love shopping and enjoys it in every possible way.If i'm downhearted for any reason and feels that nothing is going to help then shopping is surely a one thing which peps me up.But it not at all means that i use shopping as a coping mechanism because i'm emotionally distressed or something like that,i do shop cos i utterly enjoys it.By shopping i don't mean going all gaga over it.It never means i want Levis,Gucci or Armani..its not the brands we always want..u cant go branded all the time..even a colorful handkerchief or spiritless pajama can do the trick.Thing is that even the thought of grocery shopping excites me.once i was supposed to go to supermarket all by myself to buy some staple stuff..n instead of groceries i ended by buying khatha meetha churan,different flavours of cornflakes,khana khazana pickles,assorted biscuits,a new variant of tomato ketchup n whole lot of such stuff...and now mom avoids taking me along to a supermarket..but one thing mom also agrees to is that i'm the most hassle free shopper ever..i never pretend to have the sky-high choice,if i like anything i pick it up without creating any huff around...and if i don't find what i'm looking for,i don't mind settling for some other thing as well...:)
And one thing i feel that if u have a flair for shopping u don't need handful of credit cards or all the money in the world to enjoy it.what is important is that all the shopping we do,we must do it with utmost passion and highest degree of interest even if its something as trivial as a pair of bathroom slippers.That is what makes you a staunch shopper,that is what makes your shopping spree a true delight...!!!
