My Wish List

Life is so short and there are so many things to do. We are either too lazy, confused, or busy to realize all that we want to do with our lives. I can think of a thousand things I want to do before I die. Here is a short but evergrowing list of the things I wish to do in this lifetime:

Own a nice, cozy cafe
Author a novel
Visit every interesting place in India
Roam around the world
Be a wildlife caretaker
Understand (goddamn) maths
Learn an ancient, forgotten language
Be an ambidexter
Learn salsa

Well, this is a wish list as of now. Hope to make it all true some day :)

The Mystery Of Shopoholic Girls Solved

Guys, ever wondered why girls are crazy about shopping? Or have you hit walls trying to figure out what drives girls from shop to shop? Don’t worry. Now just sit back and relax as you take a glimpse into a girl’s mind and find out why girls always carry such huge bags.

To buy or not to buy is one of the worst dilemmas today’s girl faces. Gone are the days when shopping meant going out with mom to buy a dress for a cousin’s wedding. Today it’s more about the casual “I saw. I liked. I bought.” attitude. That’s because girls love to indulge themselves like princesses. They have a taste for finer things and love to possess a closetful of beautiful things. Boys, there’s much more to life than your T-shirt, jeans, and deo. Shopping is not just a few minutes’ matter of going to only one shop and buying the first things you can lay your hands on. For girls it’s like hunting a secret treasure and so it’s bound to take some time. Difficult to comprehend, right? Could be because they say men are from Mars—aliens from a weird red planet, you see.

Girls love shopping. For them it’s not just fun, but also therapeutic. It’s soothing to lock away all worries and thoughts, and immerse in a world full of cosmetics, dresses, and shoes. This retail therapy brings happiness even more than eating a gooey chocolate cake. Now tell me guys, isn’t it natural for girls to be shopoholics?

Shopping with the girl gang is what girls like best. It’s enjoyable and they can choose the best things for themselves with each other’s help. But at times girls also like to shop alone. No, it’s got nothing to do with catfights. Rather it’s a great way to spend time with oneself and make independent decisions.

Well, going out shopping with boyfriend is an entirely different matter. Though not the best shopping companions, they can double up as mobile ATM centers. Also girls can easily make them don the role of a knight in a shining armor who readily carries the heavy shopping bags (wink). And dudes, be nice to your girlfriend the next time you take her out for some retail therapy. Why? There’s a buzz that some western malls have started a trend of offering ‘shopping boyfriends’ to girls. These guys lovingly help girls to shop. So beware!

Still confused about girls’ obsession with shopping? OK, here’s a simple explanation. Shopping holds as much thrill for girls as does a cricket match for boys. So boys, now it’s all about Eve-olution. Girls are just giving themselves a well-deserved treat. So all you dudettes nodding your head in agreement, get ready for another exciting shopping splurge!
