A 'Girl's' day out ;)

Couple of Days back, for the first time in my life, I did a great achievement, I did something all the men dread to do, I did a thing that I am not so proud of, but still am, sort of ;), wanna know what it is????, Well........

I went shopping with a girl :P

I can already see your face expressions, guys would be laughing their asses off saying “Dude.........”, and girls would be thinking what's the big thing in that?, correct hai na..

About the experience what can say........, was it valuable? Yes. Was it good? Not so much, Was a lesson? Definitely yes ;).

It all started when my friend, 'D' told me, “I wanna buy a dress for my birthday” I was all enthusiastic, and I said “I would love to help” cause I never had gone for shopping with a girl, I had heard “rumors”(Read: Truth) that, it will be experience through hell and you will be crying at the end of the day, so whenever my frenz who were girls asked me to come shopping with them, I had always shied away from it, but my brain was frozen as I had eaten a lot of ice creams that day. So I agreed.

She said “I want to buy jeans this time” And I said “I know a nice place where I buy jeans, but they have also a girls section, so you can check it out”, she agreed, and when we reached the place, she suddenly saw a long line of shirts and started seeing through them, I saw her till she made a decision screening through almost 60 shirts and after trying a couple of them, she said she dint like any, and after I followed her out, she blamed me saying “There isint a nice thing there!!, what shop is that?, No nice selection itself!!” I said “ Ok baba, but why did you just browse through shirts, you said you wanted a jean right?”, she said, “Na I don't want one now, lets see if they have any salwars”, I agreed and went to another shop nearby, she browsed again, and said, not good, I agreed this time, cause the shop keeper was only showing BLUE dresses (He seemed like a huge fan of the film!!), So we went to another shop which she suggested.

Being 3 years in Mysore, this silly girl still doesn't know, which road leads to where, she asked me to guide her through(The just arrived guy :P), and some how I manged to get her to her shop, and that’s where the real torture started. She went in the shop, and the sales girl started showering us with salwars, literally.

She was selecting and I was repenting, for the decision, the sales girl picked many, but she dint like any, then the fed up sales girl said, “you only come here and decide”, she went beside the counter,. And started browsing, she would pick one and ask me, ok na?, good na?, I had to answer, that too faking a smile on my face, and after trying more than 6 dresses, she seemed to like one, but was still asking me, “Its good na, its good na?” when I said “Yes, its better than the rest”, she dint seem to agree, so she tried out 3 more dresses, and when finally some other customer pleaded, “Can you please lend me the room?, I have to reach home early today”, only then did she leave the changing room, and finally asking me 5 more times, she agreed to buy a dress, which I had earlier said yes too.

When we got out, I had sweat on my face, even though we were just coming out of an AC show room, so you can imagine what kind of situation I had to go through, but when she said “Birthday dress is the most special dress for me, thank you for the help” and smiled at me, I thought it was worth it. You know the difference in a guy's shopping and girls shopping is that girls buy with their heart whereas we buy with just money. I think that’s where we feel short, it’s the heart that matters and I think they got plenty of it.

Saying that I wish all my readers a very happy and prosperous diwali, have tons of fun, be smiling and be safe ok, take care :)

Peace, Frustration, Anger and a lil of WTF-Part 2

Amidst all the chaos happening due to floods in 2 states in the past week (i.e Andhra and Karnataka), there is one thing that is going on which needs more attention, No its not the politicians eating up fund money, that will come later, its what the “government”(if you can call that...), has provided for the flood victims.

The central government has done an air survey of the damage occurred, and the official reports state that the damage was more than 16500 crore rupees in karnataka, guess how much the “government” has provided, just fifty two crores, I just couldn't believe it, WTF yaar??, I guess the quote “what you see, is what you get” got a whole new meaning na??.

I was not bothered by it that much, I just thought “Fuc*ing political game play”, but when I looked at a newspaper, where they had said about the resources alloted for 2 states, I got so angry that I tore the newspaper(what else I could do?? :P)

Just look at the list an you will know for yourselves.

Resources alloted:

For Andhra
714 NDRF personnel
235 Motor boats
310 Life saving Rings
655(225+430) Life Jackets
700 Army Personnel
23 Special Boats
11 Boat Motors
11 Navy Rescue Squads

For Karnataka
12 Special Navy Boats
6 Boat Motors
200 Life Jackets
4 Dive Squad
Group of 22 Emergency Personnel

Before you say I am regionalist or something like that, lemme clear it out, I am NOT. I just want you to know the discrimination that has been going on, looking at the list its just like, a sackful for Andhra, and a handful for karnataka. It just goes to show that in the political game play that goes on, its the common man who ends up suffering the most.

I know in andhra the destruction is more than that of karnataka, but that doesn't men, here nothing happened, people are dying by the day because of less resources, and when I am getting so angry, think about the victims how they might be feeling being in the situation.....

Its the freakin same, when congress was the ruling party in karnataka, and BJP was in the centre, the famine problem came up, and they sanctioned so less, that it wasn't even seen by the needy, because the politicians only ate that up, and now when BJP is in state and congress in centre, the flood problem has come in, history gets repeated, AGAIN. At least this time people of the state itself are coming forward to give the money, and more than 500 crores were collected in just 24 hours, when karnataka state CM yediyurappa decided to do a road rally to collect the money, I really appreciate him for that.

I know more than 60% of the funds will be gulped down by the greedy bureaucrats itself, but at least something will reach the needy, so that they can get back to their lives, thats the only ray of light (if you can call that one).

Greedy becoming fat everyday, help not reaching the needy, I mean WTF is wrong with these people......, I don't know when the situation will improve, when the “government” will think, when a disaster strikes to 2 or more states, you don't look at the ruling party, but at the suffering people, and think all states are equal, and we should allot resources as per the need, so that the victims will get the help which they deserve. Until then I guess there will be more chaos than the disaster itself.... Shit and WTF is all I can say......
