Hmm…I am describing a strange happening here today. I am not able to come to terms with the feelings of the occurance. I am just wondering, why I am not reacting normal to it or am I behaving abnormally?
It was a fine Saturday morning, I was at my hostel, it was quite and calm. The day started as usual with the gup-shup over morning coffee and then the detailed plan for the day. We (I, another 2 girls) decided to go to the ‘Brand Factory’ shopping mall and do some shopping, as one of us wanted some thing.
I did not want anything to buy clothes but had wanted to pick up some basic needs of the month. I had to use the Food Bazaar of the same building. We decide to leave at 4.00 pm in the evening, when the sun is less resilient and scorching, unlike the day.
Therefore, finally we left our hostel at the appointed hour and started our journey towards ‘Brand Factory’, which is somewhere between the bus stops of Jubliee Hills and Panjagutta.
We reached the place and started looking at the various things of display starting with the sandals and shoes section, though nobody had the intention to buy a pair of sandals. Nevertheless, who knows, a woman never knows what she wants, but has to look at the things that has been offered to choose.
I seriously did not have any intention buying any piece of cloth, until I saw the ‘Bare Denim’ brand and their offer. By, the time I had come to the point I already had some of my immediate need items from the ‘Food Bazaar’ and was just tagging along with them, passing comments on the things they selected or rather telling them what they expected out of me at that juncture.
All, I had to do was to nod in agreement to whatever they asked me, “This looks nice, na.” “Hmm…yes, but you know this goes better for this…etc…etc.” You now how difficult it is to handle a ‘woman of choice’ they want all the qualities and quantity in one…how is that ever possible!
Oh! How many things to consider before you make a choice, the color, the texture, the design and the brand…Oomph! You can never say, sometimes I believe they should go to the milling mills and ask for their versions and then start the weaving machines!
Nevertheless, do you think, they will know anything there…Na…Na! It is because they have so many choices, choosing one out of the possibilites is difficult and there are many probabilities to our choice.
Jokes apart, the shopping basket was getting heavier, we had to drag along. Thank god, the shopping baskets come with attached wheels. The wheel basket is a unique ‘Innovation’ of a man, who had tried hard to balance the load and decided to attach wheels to carry!
I was standing in front of the ‘Bare Denim’ racks looking at the offer and it was irresistible, three at the price of two. I know it is a goof, but I was ready to fall for it. I saw some rare colors and picked my share of three. I was to try them as well, look for fitting and things. Normally, I do not do that but in a crowd, you follow them!
After our session of trails and re-trails we noticed that we were either big for the clothes we chose or the clothes were big for us. We tried all combinations and after our trail session, we got on to the top floor, which is the ‘sportswear’ section.
Now, I did not have any disposition to buy anything from here how luring the offer may be. However, you know the sales marketing personel is very much clever and brutal. The offer of ‘Buy One Get One Free’, is absolutely luring at us…I was not carried away by it though we were right there looking at all those beauties…You do not believe me! These sportwear are more like a fashion statement today then serve the purpose.
It is as if we end up buying these beauties only to flaunt them and tell people how interested and privileged you are to your well being that…You only know! Every day we feel you should use your shoes for a walk, or jog or run and then you procastinate that tomorrow will be the day. Well, each of us has our own reasons…now wont they be valid with so many brands available! What do you think; all sportswear is just for sports, AH!
Wait until I narrate this…I kept my calmness even as a pair of yellow sneakers, beautifully craved, was luring me and by the brand “PUMA’ smiling at me and asking me to take it over. I even stood there and imgained how good this shoea will look on a Friday causal dressing day and all those compliments…Man, it was echoing on and on.
I finally had to call the guy to ask him how much it was…Shucks, these brands always come with a price I guess….!!! Now, my friend who was worried about her increasing weight (the only thing that does not wait for you to respond!) wanted to jog and run or do something to reduce the gradual increase (but was not ready to scarifice her sleep!) I know it is difficult getting things easily!
She had wanted to buy a sneakers for quite sometime and did not have clue to what and how to buy…so she started to look for and the offer was good, beileve me!!! So, we started suggesting things for her and she wanted something in only black, we told her it isn’t school shoes and you have to wear them in different colours and sizes so that people notice…
Therefore, the hunt was on…finally after what looked like a decade, the search narrowed down on what was like two options left. Therefore, she had to take the one she liked and the less liked by her. We were on fun spree and I just cajoled that she can give off the ‘Phukat Maal’ to me, as she likes it least and I liked it!
Nothing settled then we just went to have dinner by then it was about close to 9 o’clock. We had food at the ‘Malgudi’ house, the place of southern food! It was good…and left from there getting some heart shaped balloons from the balloon vendor and had ice creams at the ‘Temptations…’ the best ice-cream vendor in my place. It was a great evening with no regrets until it all went topsy-turvy…!
Though it had been two days since she gave away the Phukat Maal to me, I was wondering she is not being normal to me. Then, on the third day I found, a knock on my door at about 11.00 pm, I wondered who it was now. I find this girl standing and she says she wants to talk to me…I thought ok so what’s it.
She says, ‘Hey, Kavitha if you aren’t using the shoes I gave you, my friend wants it.’ I was open mouthed…I did not know how to react. I just recollected from the shock, my reflex worked perfectly, I know many a times it bretrays me…and look here it worked perfectly.
I cooly said, Yeah, yeah sure, here take it…actually, I was planning to wear it today, but since yesterday it had rained I thought it was not safe. Here take it…’
It took some fraction of seconds when all this happened. She went off and I stood there like a stupid, not knowing what to do. All kind of emotions flowed in to me, I felt deprived, I felt hopeless, I felt like crying, I felt Like screaming at her…I felt like revenching ion this particular aspect…I found it hard to digest and it was almost 12.00 in the night I could not explain my situation to anyone.
I tried claming my mind as if telling myself, “It was here’s and she took it Kavitha, relax anyway it wans’t yours…” However, the evil side of my mind did not listen to me and I felt depressed. Somehow, I played some music, the music looked mocking, and I splet off with a heavy heart.
The next morning I find her speaking to me normally, I thought ‘Man, Girls are girls on all days. Now, I know why men find it difficult to talk to them…‘Perfect Camouflage’
The whole point of writing this post is why I am not able to come to terms with this happening. It has been about 4-5 days and I am still debating in my mind why it is so? Why is that? I have no clue, but yes this episode has certainly taught me to be carfeul with things that are being offered to me in any form! It is right under the radar! Do you get what I say!
