It is that time of the year to gratify the urge to dress up – going shop to shop, looking at new designs, checking the price against money in the pocket, and end up giving into temptation to add that piece of cloth to our wardrobe. We (my sister, brother-in-law, and I) were on a shopping tour this weekend. My BIL always said that it was difficult to go shopping with my sister. Now I witnessed it. While we were looking at Jeans and T-shirts, she would sneak out for a whirlwind trip of the shop, but when she was buying, we had to stand next to her until she finalizes her choice, which could be eternity in a man’s timeline. But it was fun hearing all the excuses and reasoning of her why she rejects one and buys another.

I bought two churithars for her and a T-Shirt for my BIL and they bought me a jeans. Added to that was a long list of individual shopping. We swiped cards and wiped our bank balance.
