Earlier i had my doubts, i even thought, it was silly, how can one be happy after spending one's own hard earned money. But the realisation dawned upon me last night and it is the absolute fact.
'Shopping' can unfalteringly lift my spirits, dodge with my hunger pangs and is the official feel-good factor of my life.
Yesterday was a shopping bonanza day. With 5 major weddings coming up in December, shopping was all Indian and wedding wear. But, did it feel good, you asked?
I got a new office bag for myself too. A really big bag that i always wanted. :)
But i was surprised at the way my eating urges slept all through the 3 hours of purchasing. The moment i got into the car with the bags, i suddenly realised that i haven't eaten after lunch. That was the moment of great enlightenment.
Consumerism zindabad. Retail therapy is working superbly for me.
i think i am getting greedier and more materialistic but i figured that there is no way to come out of it other than experiencing it at the fullest.
So, it is a win-win for me. This way i'll shop for anything and eventually i'll let go of my crazy urges too:)

There is some more shopping to be done. My phone is going from worse to worst-ever, it is breathing its last, so that's on 'the list' too. A watch too. And an iPod and diamond ring and ear rings and........
