The other side of mall!!


Shopping!! ahh.. a single word that can get me flying up with Ecstasy!! this weekend when i went back home.. first on my schedule was to go shopping.. Stuck in trichy far(can't even dream of a simple store here) And lo! to my shock(happy one!) there was a sale at a nearby mall!! Whoa! full day we planned to leave and correctly as the clock struck 3(dunno why such an odd time, but assumed less ppl would prefer shopping at this hour)the doors were shut and we were all ready for our endeavour!!;)
When we reached the mall there were strict entry restrictions had to pass through the detector then the bag checking and all!! Whew! Guess due to the recent scare caused due to these chain bombings.. But all our hopes of happy shopping experience were totally shattered when we entered the shopping arena ;) the place was a pure mess.. All clothes thrown about. getting something sensible and of your size had become an herculean task!;)Even after getting a few good ones getting a chance to try them out was tougher. long queues lined outside the changing rooms.. Man.. it was an experience in itself.. It was hellishly crowded guess everyone thought on the same lines as us. And after all that long queues and getting some crumpled outfit when u plan to bill it. that is another tiring task in itself!!:P After all this we ended up buying just one dress.. We were almost ready to dump it instead of waiting(again) outside the changing rooms! But as luck had it we saw kinda fast moving line and joined in, but Murphy's law had its toll(again!!) and ours ended up moving in fashion to make a snail proud of its speed! But then once billing was done guess All's well that ends well... but just after we leave we understand the terribly paining heels and dying calves and growling tummies only thing we freaky shoppers could hope for was to sink into the plush seats of a food court! Ahh... few minutes later sipping into my icy cool milk shake(oh! my diet's shattered again, but didn't i burn a lot too today, guess an occasional binge would do!!;)) It was bliss.. First time happy that our shopping trip was over.. The mall was kinda overflowing with freaky shoppers, romantic couples and jobless teens!! Man.. walking calmly through this crowd had become near impossible!
Back at home feels heavenly, lying down(binging again!;)) Ahh... this is bliss... Never going for a sale again..
Made a plan to go home next weekend and mom just calls me up sometime back and says a new sale and then my eyes glisten again!! some ppl just can't change!!:D
