shop @ home...

I am getting addicted to online shopping. It started with ordering books from flipkart, and before I knew it, I was hooked onto other online shopping sites.

Now, I enjoy shopping online more than going to the stores, once in a while I do shop for my stuff outside, especially jeans and trousers, as its important to try it on, to see how the style fits. There is a lot more variety available online, when it comes to buying tops, skirts, kurtis or even accessories like bags and jewelry.

It's just a click away, sitting at the comfort of your home, sipping a beverage. They home deliver and have multiple payment options. So, it's easy to do a budgeted shopping. There are shopping websites for footwear as well, but I don't do it as my foot size varies with brands.

The baby websites are really good, I had ordered few storage containers and trolleys for my lil one as we had space crunch when we moved to Gurgaon. Must say, they were affordable and really good. Some of my favourite online websites are: www.fashionandyou.com, www.jabong.com - they have a good collection of bags, flipkart (goes without saying), then there is a facebook page called the design factory, affordable, nicely styled bags, suits me as I am not a genuine leather person, I don't buy anything from hidesign. I prefer faux leather, its not very expensive and for a bag freak like me, it works out perfectly fine. Though there are numerous websites for shopping, one should be very careful while selecting the website. I personally choose sites like jabong, bluestone or fashionandyou, brass tacks etc.. because they come with a return policy/exchange deal. When a site follows such norms, you can be rest assured of their quality and the fact that they are not fooling their customers.

It has worked out well for me. Sometimes I plan my time, and spend few hours on the net looking at all the styles, cuts designs and then make my choice :).

Take it easy policy...

A friend walked in, to have coffee, her house also is empty by 8 and so is mine. So sometimes, we catch up for our lil tete-a-tete over coffee. Talking about coffee, I have turned the American way, I now prefer black coffee to white. Well, the first cuppa is with milk. Her Mum is an amazing baker, she had sent homemade peanut butter cookies. So, my neighbour was generous enough to get some for me. I made the famous South Indian filter coffee, and we plonked ourselves on the couch. She seemed a lil disturbed, so after a lot of prodding, she finally asked me if I thought she was obsessive about being perfect. So I instantly said Yes! And she was shocked, she said how could I have known that about her, as I have known her only for few months. So I laughingly pointed out at certain incidents and told her that I have a penchant for observing people and their mannerisms, and I can't help it. We laughed, then she asked, but what's wrong in doing things perfectly? I told her nothing, ...

Blah blahs....

For the last few days, I open my blog, view it, read my friends posts and then sign out... There are so many thoughts crossing my mind, everyday, but am unable to pin it down. For example, this morning, in the Delhi metro, nobody offered their seat to an old woman, she even requested one young girl to get up, as she wasn't feeling too well, but the dame refused. Two minutes later, the old woman had a dizzy spell and fell, I couldn't help asking that dame, how would she have felt if her mother went through a similar situation? She obviously didn't have an answer, but that set me into a thinking mode, not to forget that I was totally upset with such a start to the day. But, come to think of it, what is happening to our society? What happened to values? Respect..Kindness...Compassion... Have people forgotten these words? What are we passing on to our children? Everyday, I get bogged down by such thoughts, because, even if I stick to my guns, and pass on the so called ...

NO (WO)MAN NO CRY..

So, the weekend's agenda was 'meet the inlaws' - my inlaws. And like many women, inspite of being married for a long time, the 'inlaw' factor still stirs a lot of mixed emotions, though I have learnt my way out and in of nagging situations, my heart continues to beat faster. Anyway, there were lot of children, as it was my nephew's birthday party. The kids were playing, shouting, running, jumping, fighting - exactly in that order. My son. all of 8 is a little sensitive, he hasn't  learnt yet to deal with violent or hyper energetic kids. He kept requesting a kid of his age to stop kicking him, but the other one didn't listen, and as it's famously said, "Survival of the fittest", my son finally kicked back, and blocked him using his karate moves,(at last the technique was put to use)! The fight actually increased, as the other kid now charged with all his might. By the time the elders stopped the fight, that kid had hurt my son, I was ch...
