Shopping & Mom

We love shopping, don't we? Roaming a lot to find the perfect things that suit us, struggling hard to find the things we need. We shop a lot but do not want our pockets to get empty. Here's a secret which might help a lot. Go to shopping with your mom. I bet no one can make that shopping experience better. Not just helping you in selection but in the end, the way she pays for it. 
            
Lemme show the difference. 

Steps that are involved when you shop alone :
1. Go to the store.
2. Select what you need.
3. Look at the MRP. Panic. :P
4. Check your wallet. Pay and get your item packed.

Steps that are involved when you shop with MOM :
Follow all the above steps, then go to the cash counter with mom & watch the magic happening there.

A bill of Rs.2000/- suddenly turns into a bill of Rs.1000/- or Rs.1200/-. Wonder how? That's how it is. They ain't any Harry Potter or Hermione Granger with magic wands. Infact they wont need any of them. They go to the cash counter make a final deal and wave their hand, which indicates thats it. Done, take your package with some balance left :D.
  
        When I asked my mom. "How does this even happen?" She replied with a simple logic, "Do you think he'd sell that item at that cost, if he couldn't?" Simple right! I've read somewhere that women are good at bargaining. There's this important thing we need to keep in mind while that magical thing is happening. Shut up and watch it happening, don't even try to stop her. 
        


P.S. It's not just about bargaining, it's fun when you shop with mom. You really enjoy.

"Love Letter" story

Date: 24th December, 2015 My love,      It's been so long since we met. In the first place, I'm sorry dear I abandoned you for about an year.  I have been missing you a lot since the day I left you. I never got the chance to tell you that, no matter what happens next I'll never be anything but grateful to you.      You and I, together, we can make magic. We are a perfect match. I love you because you bring the best out of me. You never give up on me and that's what keeps me going. You are the reason, I knew what beauty is! Your point of view was always right, I envy you for that. I can be myself when I am with you. Even in darkness it was you, who showed me what the world around looks like.       I've read somewhere that "In French you don't really say I miss you . You say tu me manques  which means you'll be missed by me " I love that. Rather than saying I missed you, I need to say you are a part of me, you are essentia...

A Perfect Valentine

"Love is such a b*tch", he said and moved on. Since then love started searching for him.  "May be love is not my thing", he kept saying to himself every time love ditched him, every f***ing time love ripped his soul apart.  "I'm sorry to say this, but my heart belongs to someone now. I'm pretty sure you can't find someone like me, but good luck with that."   11 girls received this text who had a crush on him, the day he saw her.  He followed her for an year, kept imagining life with her. Little did he know, she always loved him but she couldn't tell him that. One fine night he received a text from her which prompted him to keep the conversation alive!  "Hey! Are you free for lunch tomorrow?" "Yes, I'm free. I was waiting for this moment since I first saw you. By the way, what is it that we are meeting for?" "Don't you think both of us know it?" "I'll pick you up at 11...

That evening. That hour.

Not everyday you get surprises. Not everyday you get to talk nice. Not everyday you get flattered. Not everyday you get to go on a date. 6:30 was the time she left. Since then he could listen even the ticks of the seconds hand in his watch. Just when he thought he could leave the office, he gets a mail saying, “complete this ASAP”. Neither was Usain Bolt his favorite athlete, nor was he into sports but his fingers typed so fast that even he thought his keyboard would break in a while. Infatuation took over his mind. The very idea of meeting her alone was getting him all excited. 6:40 He calls her telling that he’s stuck in the office and would be a bit late. In a sweet voice “It’s okay” she said. Of Course, it ought to be sweet when a guy likes a girl that badly. “Fuck this shit”, he screamed (in his mind) and packed his bag as soon as he is done. With a smiling face bidding goodbye to his colleagues in the office he started running as soon as he stepped out of the office....
