Did some shopping today...


15th August, 2009 ---

Did some shopping today. No, not your kinda shopping from Shopper’s stop flashing the First Citizen Card with a feeling of pride as passers by look at you and your platinum credit card to compliment it.

Independence Day today, it had meant a lot to the entire country at some point of time. Today it means some exclusive deals or special prices and offers in the Large Format Retail Outlets with couples with the Indian Flag as bandanas hugging each other shopping or making out in the trial rooms, sadistic me!!

Anyways, back to where I started (Sob Storyteller strikes again), Independence Day. Firstly, it means an additional holiday more than anything else after grueling weeks of work under tremendous pressure and travelling the entire state.

Woke up late and did nothing for sometime till stomach decided it needed some food. Got Gaurav’s Army bike without horn or any legal papers whatsoever and ventured out in search of some food.

Went to a nearby ‘More’ which had everything in ‘Less’ and today was ‘Independence Sale’ day with quintals of vegetables spread outside the store with more people flocking there to buy them in a frenzy as if vegetables were becoming extinct. Anyways, I managed to buy some bread and eggs and got a deal also. Back to home, hey, no plates in the house ‘duffer’(Used to hear this a lot in Calcutta). Got a steel plate, 1 steel glass, 1 spoon. Different kind of shopping altogether. Came back home and made myself a nice toast and boiled egg, damn it felt good.

Took a bath, had to go to a friend’s place, got a call from friends, they got tickets for a Hindi flick and some Bacardi. When you are staying alone in a place with nothing else to do, the recreation part consists of remembering good old times that you have spent earlier at some ‘golden era’ over some great amount of alcohol or just lying down and snoring. Trust me, a lot of things which are logical and should be done loses its meanings when you are alone in a city.

So got the army bike, managed to get some cash from the ATM and spend some unnecessary money (Wish I was a ‘spendthrift’ at times) on a stupid movie.

Forgot what had happened the rest of the day, should make a point to write finish off blogs within certain dates else it loses its meaning. Meaning…trying to find out what meaning means in the first place Meaning, relative term, to everyone their own..
