What is it about shopping that excites many of us so much? While growing up, it was the lure of new toys, clothes, books perhaps that excited us. We did not have the money or the privileges the kids today enjoy, so we cherished every little material possession we got, even things like a movie outing or an odd chocolate or cold drink were extra special :). Then came college and shopping for clothes was the most interesting. Of course, we wanted to dress up in the most fashionable stuff available at lower cost so that the wardrobe could be changed every few months. And now, shopping is something I do in a hurry. Grocery shopping is always done with a list these days, and kids are given special instructions to not throw tantrums for the strategically displayed candies and chips etc. Even clothes are shopped for in a hurry. Hubby accompanies me sometimes but gets sick of trying to be diplomatic yet objective when asked for an opinion :). I never had the habit of trying too many stores, and I don’t do so even now. I normally have my favorite places where I shop, and I am just satisfied there. The only time I enjoy shopping is in a bookstore if I have time. I love to browse through books and keep exploring for hours. Window shopping is also fun when accompanied by other females where we can giggle and criticize everything in sight without spending a single penny :).
Being in Ahmedabad at my sister’s place, I am looking forward to indulging in some retail therapy in the next few days :).
