Shopping mania!!!



“Sound, Tomorrow we need to go for shopping, prepare a list!” - My mother told me as soon as came home from office yesterday.

“Oh No” - I shouted inside my mind! I didn’t want to go out anywhere,but then my mother was right. I needed to buy a few things before packing off to coimbatore and weekends only I’ll get time!

But still the word shopping somehow makes me uncomfortable.

I simply hate shopping!



























One of the reasons might be the way I have been shopping from my childhood. Whenever we needed to go out and buy something, we would make a plan. List out all the things needed to buy and then mark the shop where we have to buy it. We had our regular shops and stores to visit in Bhilai(after all it didn’t have so many shops to chose from!). Then we would visit these places, choose only the ones we needed and return back home. Never had we gone out of the list and bought something or taken time in choosing.If it was a dress, whatever was shown from that we would choose one and come back.



But after coming to Chennai and seeing the way people shop, especially in T.Nagar area ..phew…I can’t imagine standing in one shop and seeing the dresses or accessories or any other stuff repeatedly and either chose from them or just claim that i didn’t like any and go to next shop and again see everything.

























My parents had always had this notion that if they visit some shop, it would not be nice to leave it empty handed, especially dress shops. And somehow that has got into my mind too.

But one thing i learned is to bargain. I prefer the pavement shops to the crowded stores! As its open, I need not bother about not buying from any of these pavement shops. I have been lucky to get goods in really cheap price with bargaining in first 2,3 shops itself and never had to go into all the pavement shops and have arguments with the shop owners.


Well I ended up going and spending 5 hours and doing huge and major buying both quantity and money wise but thankfully got most of the things in same shop!! So I ended up carrying things like this…


























Even though the shopping was done for me only, but still its boring. I can’t imagine people ready to be on the move, the moment they hear the word “shopping”!


Now i know you all might be wondering - “What sort of a girl is she, not to even like shopping??” Well I am an exception I know!! And I know the guy who will marry me is very lucky And even if he’s keen on shopping,which I pray not!) still I will hate shopping and I would prefer watching a cricket match or read a book than go shopping!!

Twins!!

This is one of the most standard conversations that I’ve had with a new person (NP). Soundarya – Hi, I am Soundarya. NP – Hi. I am so-so. Soundarya – How are you? NP – Am good. You? What do you do? …. …. NP – You’ve Siblings? Soundarya – Yes, 2 Brothers. NP – Elder? Soundarya – 1 elder and another Twin. NP –Whaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt??? :o Soundarya – Yeah. I’ve a twin brother. NP – Do you look alike? Who’s elder? What’s he doing? How come he’s far away? I heard twins have same kind of feelings and that they are very close and inseparable.Do you both like same kind of food? Do you both wear same color clothes?and the list of questions goes on and on..… Well I have sort of condensed this conversation. It always amuses me to see the reaction the new person always gives when he/she comes to know that I am a twin. And the kind of questions they ask is dubious. Each time As I answer them and tell them we are just like any other brother-sister, the d...

The First Few Days In Cognizant

So Finally I joined Cognizant!! *Cheers* *Claps* *Laughs* Thank You, Thank You!!! :) I know for long time that I’ve been telling people that I’ll be joining Cognizant, but then I myself didn’t have any clue as to when! And now two weeks have passed. So how has been my time there?? Well …Really good… Lots of things have been happening. First and foremost is my laziness vanishing!! One year of vettiness(joblessness) has made me more than ever lazy(more lazy than I was before: :P). So now I have a nice schedule which keeps me busy! Secondly I have been meeting new people. I’ve to say that all the people in my batch are really friendly and nice. All of us are students of 2008 passed out batches but then seem like still college student! So we all are experiencing this transformation of college to corporate environment. Well cognizant campus itself is pretty good. Have been to two places and liked it. The environment and atmosphere and the p...

In the End, We all are same

W ho am I? Who are you? Who are the people surrounding us? When I say people, I mean parents, relatives, friends, crowd in the bus you travel, or the shopkeeper from whom you buy your dresses, or the maid who comes to your house etc. This is not a philosophical question or anything to do with philosophy. Of late, this question has been in my mind after observing a few things. Oh yes, I’ve been so jobless that I actually have started observing things ;) We all are so engrossed in our work, personal commitments, social life etc that we tend to overlook simple things in life. The purpose of life!! The other day, I was talking to my brother in Skype and my grandfather came. When he saw my brother in computer screen, he became so happy. As he cannot hear properly he’s not able to converse with any one in phone and seeing my brother like this made him so happy. He, like a small kid, told every one who came to ou...
