GIMME RED!

I just discovered a positive side of having bad days-having more bad days(and weeks and months)means going on more shopping splurges!So,thanks to all the frustrations going on in here,I went shopping again!Though this time,I had a perfectly justifiable excuse to-it's my didi's b'day tomorrow!I had bought a gift for her long back but it didn't work out.So,I went to buy something else for her today.And I had an exam from 5 p.m.So,a little de-stressing doesn't hurt,right?Here's the bag I bought for her,it's so damn gorgeous that couldn't help clicking a few pictures!Guess I'm slowly becoming notorious for using gifts before giving them away for once and for all.You remember Moumita's sling here(that I posed with before giving it to her),don't you?So,you probably won't be surprised to know that I made my chair pose with this bag.I love the happy crimson,totally perks my shabby room up!

You know me,the shopaholic by now,I guess.

So,no wonder I bought a few things for myself too.A ruffled top and a pair of shorts came home in my backpack(yeah,I had a dance class which I ditched,so,obviously I was carrying a heavy salwaar kameez and ghoongroos,so,I had to carry a backpack).And for the first time,I actually found the corn-spring onion momo at the 'Wow Momo' stall!Every time I go to a 'Wow Momo' outlet,they run out of corn-spring onion momos!I've been chasing this one for a few months now!The search finally ended.And it wasn't that great actually if you ask me.For vegetarians,the mushroom momo is much much better!And if you're looking for cheaper options,even paneer momo is better than this one!And the chicken,fish,prawn momos are always there toh!Another failed attempt to find the perfect white shirt resulted in me buying a not-so-perfect white shirt again!But more on that later.And last but not the least,our college'll have its first fest since 2004 this year!Yay!So,stay tuned for more pictures.Till then,happy reading!

P.S.If you'd rather like a depression-heavy post and some info about what had been bothering me for the past few weeks(not to suggest that I'm over it now)tha the happy(and shallow)posts,do mention it in your comment.If I find more than one people interested in my depression talk,I might actually share it with you(though I personally don't believe in promoting my petty issues and bothering everyone under the sun with my daily tear count updates.I learnt this very valuable lesson from Tanvi,one of my blogging idols),who knows?

AH,LIFE’S GOOD AGAIN!

My sincere apology to all of you for boring you with my depression talk throughout the whole week. Turns out my depression was perfectly curable with the help of a little retail therapy. Not that I didn’t know it all along,just wasn’t finding time to go shopping(crazy,right?Who needs ‘time’ for shopping?And I’m so not proud of saying it!).So,finally,I ditched college this Friday and went out doing what I do whenever I’ve an ugly break up or my grades don’t exactly cheer me up or I can’t pick up a step-SHOPPING!And trust me,it was totally worth the two hour extra journey I had to take in order to reach the rehearsal studio from there.Thank you for asking,but as you might’ve noticed,I’ve been having a really tough time cash-wise,thanks to all my friends who had to come to the world around this time only,I didn’t buy much.But who says you’ve to be rich to experience the divine pleasure called SHOPPING?Window-shopping never hurts,right?And in addition to that,it doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket!After strolling past Shreeram Arcade and Old New Market building,I found this baby in Simpark Mall that I simply couldn’t resist.The baby here was an absolutely gorgeous sling.The moment I set my eyes on her,I just knew that it was mine and I had to take it home.The shopkeeper won’t let it go for anything less than 795 bucks but after promising him four more customers,reminding him of my past purchases from here in the past three months or so and most importantly,let him touch my back and have my phone no.(yes,I can stoop down that far and not be ashamed of it too),I closed the deal at 500!And as I felt its smooth fabric caressing my hands while going into my bag,I shivered.I paid for it and went out after,wait-for-it,giving the nagging shopkeeper a free hug!I can still feel his smelling tee but one look at the sling,and it doesn’t bother me as much.Next I bought a ‘jhola’ from the stretch in front of the Hogg Market and though the heat and sweat were getting unbearable,the bargaining was much easier than the previous one.Then I had to buy some essentials,like a pack of tissues,a good ol’ black nail paint(yes,after trying various shades of green,yellow,pink,blue,red and white,I’m going back to black,almost after two years),a few bangles,a headband,nail clippers and cuticle cream.At the risk of almost crossing my budget limit,I finally swore of my mom(she’s the person I love most in this world)and promised myself not to buy anything more for that day.Then I went to ‘Wow momo’ and gulped down a plate of steaming hot Chicken Capsicum momo(with a generous helping of those

fiery chutneys)and left for my rehearsal studio at Circus Avenue.Took a few pictures with the new ‘jhola’ the very next day,thought I should share.

P.S.I know this lollipop look is so dated but I’m simply in love with these lycra churidars!Just can’t live without them!
