I'm usually a sport for shopping sprees but the 12th of October, 2008 and on top of tht a Sunday, began a little different!
My morning began at 11:15 am precisely when my dad after attempting to pull me frm my beautiful dreamy slumber to the ugly real world, finally had to resort to lose his cool..that was the first spat!
The second one was with mum who blasted me for not sleeping on time the previous night.
And then the final ordeal bagan..
Already in a bad mood, I barged in the showroom with a resolution to pick the first good saree that I came across! Yes,u heard it right! I went for saree shopping for the Diwali celebration at office the next week!
My mum and I finally reconciled inside the first showroom that we went into as we could not behave like total strangers and because my anger had cooled down to a -10 degree celsius. while the salesperson showed miles and miles of the Indian national dress and at the same time getting irritated with my reluctant and confused behaviour!
Like this,we visited one more showroom with great expectation of finding my dream attire..which ofcourse remained a dream until I stepped out of there!
Both the showrooms showed me endless varieties of sarees with different patterns,colors, handwork,etc. But alas! my confused state of mind conveyed my answer and increased their frustration.
The third showroom gave me the final respite and after a few moments, we agreed on 2 sarees,a black and a creamish thingie and I obviously picked up the black thing!
The ordeal is far frm over..today was only abt buying it..the bigger challenge is yet to come..to drape it around yourself neatly (n to keep it intact :-) ), wear matching jewellery, make up,come to office, sit around for 8 hrs and try to look graceful!
So much for being a woman!
But perhaps this experience has atleast reiterated a thought for the need for me to be more decisive abt things...coz every thing in life is not as easy as picking up a 5.5 mlong saree and not about having multiple alternatives..there are zillions of real life events where a late decision could make or break life forever..something that I've and I am already experiencing..............

I can very well understand your dilemma in choosing a saree as you already know that I was also in a similar position on Sunday. But anyways I think it was a nice experience and its not yet over remember we need matching jewelry and footwear. I am waiting for the final day when even after so many preparations everybody in our team will be laughing on us and I am sure that we'll enjoy that as well.......
I have never thought that you will write the third one so soon.
I have never never thought that you all are preparing for diwali so early.
I have never never never thought that you liked being laughed at, sometimes like me..
