Shoe alert!!

Didn't do much today...dragged myself to...urrrgh...school(excuse the nasty language :P) to pick up a 'personal character certificate' from a 'member of faculty'..ie got a teacher to make a formal statement that I am not a criminal.
Got home and decided to go buy Franny and Zooey, from local bookstore. And this is where it happened...you know, not so long ago at all I'd pick up a book if I were bored. Now I listen to Clapton. Earlier, anything that came between a bookstore and yours truly, would be summarily ignored. Or trampled. But today...I was walking towards the bookstore when something pink caught my eye. And I couldn't help it, I smartly swivelled ninety degrees and started walking towards it, Franny and Zooey be damned.
Once I got to it, I paid for it. Like in a dream.
Here it is. Watch and slaver, people, watch and slaver. (Though it looks far prettier in actuality I still think; the pics don't do it justice.)




And again.


I have never bought anything either this gaudy or this pink before. I was a black/beige person, really.

You live and you learn.... :D

    Shopping whims and fancies, tell me about them... I wish I was still the young kid who would wilfully ignore all "appearance" items and rush into book stores. Loss of innocence. I blame the 21st century.

    Hilarious, as usual, though. :)

    oh its just the compulsive buying... shoes u d never wear, clothes u don care about... electronics ud throw out the window when the next model comes in... n recently im into furniture (all those lazee-boys n bean bags!)

    so its only fair. n if uve been readin all ur life, ur intellect tends to get higher than an average author, n the good ones donmeet the demand... inflation... blame it on economists.. its all chidambaram's fault!

    Lol, I remember the character certificate.. they never even asked us for it, and I had to undergo a long painful goddamn ordeal for it..
    as for the shoes, they r pretty rele.. they all start looking pretty when u have nowhere to shop, all the junk u threw in, become prized posssesions..

I apologise for the word-verification captcha thingie, i feel your pain. i enjoy reading spam comments and i read with interest all the comments spam kumar, spam kapoor, spam balakrishnan and spam mukherji earnestly sent me, but then the novelty wore off.
