Sunday was the day when I officially lost interest in
shopping. Seriously.. Enough with vanity! For the past 3 months or so, I’ve
been spending all my weekends with my Mom in some or the other corner of Delhi,
looking for some or the other random item. I so miss my lazy weekends when all I
used to do was watch back to back repeats of all my favourite shows. Now I have
no clue whatever is happening to them without my viewership. And the worst part
even though I’m done with shopping, it isn’t done with me! Yet!
Yesterday was the day when I told my mom I didn’t want any
more jewellery, can you believe that? Me? Who starts behaving like Gollum every
time I even so see a picture of the shiny metal (My precious.. My precious.. He’s
cute in parts J like
the 10-15 minutes of the movie that I’ve watched)
Something has gone wrong with me. Suddenly I’m not
interested in anything cosmetic or aesthetic. I couldn’t care less if my shoes
match my dress or my dress matches my jewellery or my jewellery matches the décor
(Ok that one is a little farfetched never cared about the last one.. the others
I did care at one point of time J
) The fact being that the wedding dress in itself is big enough to be a tent
big enough to fit a party of at least three, I don’t think my little shoes have
even the slightest chance of shining through! And where does that bring us to
the status of the anklet and the toe ring I spent one full day looking for? Well..
let’s just say that there moment in the sun sure isn’t my wedding day. And
still there was time I paid attention to all that detail.
And you know what is worse? I can’t even wear or use the stuff
I’ve bought or another month! I can’t even wear the stuff I’ve bought after
three months of painstaking labour! I’m not a hoarder, I am the kinds who has
to wear her new clothes the very next day if not the same moment before leaving
the store (this is to cover for the fat chance I’d want to exchange J And that happens a lot
if I’ve bought something without my mother’s consent, somehow she never approves
of my choice. Well that’s for clothes and other trivial things, for life
changing events like who I marry she’s surprisingly confident about it .. this
is I think material for a different post and a different time, lets’ not lose
focus right now shall we J).
It’s so frustrating looking at all these clothes scattered all over my room
(Yes, my room is the official storehouse for all wedding shopping, even the bed
spread L )
Oh wait a minute… it’s starting to clear out now..
brainwave!! I think that’s it! It’s not that I’ve grown tired of shopping all
of a sudden, it is the inability to wear my new clothes that’s been driving me
crazy all this while.. Thank god for this realization! I had begun to think my
long standing affair with shopping had ended, that would have catastrophic! Now
that I know it’s just a timing issue I’m glad. Minor road bumps J Just a little less
than a month and I’ll regain the will to shop again and so will I have the
freedom to not wait before a wear!
And I'll be back to my usual state of mind as regards to shopping, very correctly articulated below:
Freak moment… less than a month to go.. what is wrong with the
clock.. does is it really need to run this fast?? Or it’s just messing with me!
