The king of seasons: the sale season, the time of year of
raining discounts is finally here. And correct me if I am wrong, this is the
most awaited season of the year. Gone are the days when we got content even
after window shopping as it’s time to ditch those cozy warm quilts and throng
the malls and markets. “Welcome!! May I help you!!” followed by a pat reply “No,
I’ll manage” are the dialogues of the season even though everybody is aware
that the wardrobe floodgates have opened and they will have to wade their way
through a sea of robes to get their hands on something to take back home.
Traffic snarls not only on the roads but inside the malls
too is not a rare sight to see. Stalking
one another (literally), shopaholics with an eye for jazzy apparels even try to
snatch away that green coloured jacket the other person has been carrying
around for past half an hour. Guards are happy as you enter the main gate of
the shopping precinct but beware when you leave. That’s of course is not an
easy task as your shopping bags are under his keen surveillance and scrutiny.
Trailing queues with utmost discipline are to be seen at the doorway to the
trial rooms. Yes, we Delhiites know what self-control means (though sometimes)!!
But what adds to the woes is that a single piece of dress needs approval of all
ranging from mommy to bhabhi to naani (not to forget phone approvals from the
special loved ones). Ufff! This inferno like situation gets a lot more crazy
with innocent infants crawling inside out with their freaked out fathers
running behind them while handling the age old question of their mommies “Do I look fat in this??”
diplomatically. Cheers to guys for this!! These very toddlers are shrewd enough
to point their fingers at games or chic dresses which come as a rescue to these
worn-out progenitors. Irritating are those who make the trial room their homes
trying to fit in every possible size of every single dress in every shade
available. Even amidst this entire tussle, shaking my leg to the tune of
background music in the trial room, I never forget that mirror authenticity
needs my verification too. Shopping hard enough throughout the day, guys too
have their cup of tea in just 5 minutes. One T-shirt here, a pair of jeans
there and voila! Wardrobe modified instantly. But this lightning speed does
vanish when it comes to shoes and accessories though! Kind of boring as there’s
no hustle-bustle around which I had just talked about till now. But Thank God!
If all this wasn’t enough, roadside shopping is even more
delightful and accessorizes our discounted stock. It allows us to let us
practise what our brain is actually wired for – Bargaining. Afterall, Aur kuch
ho na ho, raaste ka maal saste mein nai liya toh kya liya!!!

Shopping is a real stress buster too. Try it. The ambience,
lightning and the people scurrying around is enough to rejuvenate and boost
your tad dampened spirits. A festive atmosphere envelopes all gloom and
yes pockets too!! . I am going to get my itchy fingers on the LBD that my eyes
have been feasting on for the past few weeks!!! Ta-daa!!!
