Bag it all !!

Ok…so the shopaholic side of me is writing this blog ( dun call me a bimbo after reading this blog)

I suffer from a split personality and this personality is split into various parts.
I dunno if I know all of ‘em but to name a few

My boss at work thinks that she is the final authority to fashion !! (huh..shes livin in world of illusion). Well her clothes are nice but they are not branded. She thinks spending on a brand is a waste as one cannot see the labels !!
She mentioned that someone recently gifted her a LV monogram bag and its too precious for her to use. ( Well can she afford one from her own money ?)
So the topics of bags started.

I the past 2 weeks I hv been to the Dior store twice and thrice to the LV store.
I am aware that the price u pay for the merchandise is actually the price of the brand value, not the price of the raw materials or the manufacturing cost of the bag

For all of u, who can discuss bags for over an hour (just as a passion!) will know that the LV monogram bags are actually coated canvas bags and only the handle is made of real leather.
These canvas bags range from Rs 29,000 – 90,000
On the other hand, the real leather bags start from Rs50,000 and upwards

So I told her that patent leather is really in and Fendi is doing some nice patent leather belts.
She says, “ Well, spending on a belt is a waste , at least when u buy a bag u know it’s a leather bag “
Me, “The LV monogram bags r not leather, they canvas”
She, “ Canvas is cloth, I know what canvas feels like”
Me, “ Its coated canvas “
She , “ How can a bag be so expensive and not be leather, u have wrong information”
Me, “ No, I am right, u can call LV to find out”
She, “ I don’t need to call, I know, maybe u shud call, u need to get ur facts right”
I was actually cursing her under my breath !!
Me , “ I know, the leather bags are much more expensive that the canvas bags. Infact the denim bags r higher than the monogram bags and denim is cloth “
She, “ Well the monogram bag is leather”
I just walked away !!!
THIS IS THE PRICE I PAY FOR KNOWING THE CORRECT INFO.
I KNOW MY STUFF, YET SHE THOUGHT I WAS DUMB !!CAN I HAVE A GUN PLEASE…………………..

So, what r ur hobbies ?

I find it really funny when people ask me, “So what r ur hobbies ?”
I just act dumb and pretend that I did not understand a single word, thinking that they would move on to the next question.
Hell..it never works out !!
So these typical inquisitive people then decide to elaborate and ask as follows:

OPTION # 1
, “So u like reading ?” Me… “NO”
For people who know me, I have never touched books after school and I hate entering a bookshop. A book shop always has a typical smell of paper/books which gives me a headache and there is no medicine to cure it.

OPTION # 2
After a big NO for reading next question is , “Are you into sports ?”. Me.. “NO”
Wrong question again !! I have never even tried to hold a bat or throw a ball in a basket.
Yes there is a sport which I was inclined towards and i.e. Shooting.
Given my temper I decided to keep my aspirations to myself or India would be Australia with reference to population.

OPTION # 3
Ok…so no reading and no sports..so its gotta be Music. “Do u play any instrument, like a piano , guitar, tabla , sitar ? “ Me.. “No”
The thing is that I believe in team work. One instrument alone cannot help make good music.
So…mei sirf logon ka BAND bajati hoon .

OPTION # 4
Ok..so after 3 NO’s this lovely interview panel is dying to hear a YES. So they ask me a question where the answer of any girl my age would be YES
“Do u like dancing ?” Me.. “NO”
Well the truth is that I don’t like to dance and whenever I have, I have been forced into it.

So I make the people who asked me all these questions realize that I am quite useless and good for nothing.

I don’t know why these people have never asked me if I cook or if I like cooking.
They would get a decent answer to that one or they could also ask me if I can paint…..so that I could have a chance to talk about something . (Ok so this does not mean that I paint but I used to and now I have no time)

Well the true answer to my hobby is that I LOVE SHOPPING and I take this hobby very passionately !!
I wonder how people would react if I actually mention my true hobby to them. Firstly, they gotta believe that shopping too can be a hobby.
Secondly, if someone has only 1 hobby, it does not mean that he or she is mentally or athletically challenged.


As per the dictionary the meaning of hobby is “an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation”
Therefore it is proved that SHOPPING is a hobby !!

CHEERS TO ALL SHOPAHOLICS !!

I was a South Indian in my past life !!

Everytime we make a plan to eat out, I automatically suggest Sagar.
The Mysore Plain dosa served there is to die for !!
So the reactions I get are as follows:
a) go take a dip in coconut oil
b) oh god...no no..lets cancel the plan
c) U just had dosa a month back !(thanks to u mean B******, I had my favourite dosa a month back...I deserve to eat it everyday)
d) Tere dimaag mei sambhar ghus gaya hai
So invariably we always land up NOT going to Sagar and land up eating Italian, Chinese or Conti.

I know I am going to be killed for writing my 1st blog about my love for dosas...but sorry, this is a page where I get the express myself on and I hope my friends read it and realise that they should consider Sagar as an option for a nice dinner....yaar kabhi to maan jaya karo !!!
