It has been 48 days that i haven't written.Though the urge to write something kept emerging again and again but couldn't find a single inspiration! Also, i had decided that i will start a new post the day i get my new laptop, so tadaaa..i got a new laptop!! The excitement i have right now, typing on the new smooth black keyboard is inexplicable. My sweet and kind husband ordered it for me and without even asking he selected the colour RED ( Awwww..he knows me so well!)
Well the thing i want to talk about is the amount of happiness i get when i buy something new. Be it clothes, shoes, cosmetics or even grocery! I agree that every woman is born with the shopping virus in them but there are higher levels of this syndrome which ultimately leads one to become a compulsive shopper. Yes, its true iam a Shopaholic and which is why i could see myself in Rebecca Bloomwood, the main protagonist of the movie 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'. The movie excellently shows how so many people like us are suffering from Shopaholism( if i may call it so!) and spend all our money on all those attractive things kept on store shelves.
From past 3 weekends all i have been doing is visiting different malls and buying new stuff. In the movie Rebecca says 'when i shop everything around me seems right and happy' and that is exactly how i feel when i am shopping. And specially in United States of America, none can save themselves from spending their hard earned money because of the 'intentionally made highly attractive all sorts of things!'Sometimes i wish i had all the money in the world and could buy everything i could lay my hands on! There's always a constant battle between the 'sane' you who wants to spend money wisely, and 'compulsive shopper' inside you who wants to spend all the money on various kind of indulgences. This craving of mine leads me to think the kinda materialistic person (according to others) iam. But for me its the real happiness.
Its like any other happiness that you experience when you get a good news or something really amazing happens to you. I guess this only a person like me can understand who shares the same passion as mine.
P.S : i had written the post long time back, when i was in USA .It has been 18 days that iam in India. So today i finally thought of posting this.
