Hopping around doing shopping!!!

Often one spends a lot of time in the glitz world of consumer durables. Have often been a part of and observed the crowd that is going round and round about the absolutely happening malls in Bangalore these days.
Have never been able to find joy in such an outing and often wondered if anybody really does…..Not that I hate shopping but then definitely don’t believe that it is a way of recreation. Being in a big mall makes me feel pathetic. There are obvious good things around me ..but still it’s a feeling of being lost…a feeling of helplessness when you believe that the new mobile u buy..the new dress that u see..the new watch that ticks…..add spice to your life….is this the only way out??????????????

I have mobile…but sill wanna check out on a new model with certain other features. I have quite a number of dresses. but then haven’t bought anything this weekend..!!!! Have a pair of new sandals…but heard that 'X' brand is more comfortable and trendy too….
If not for all these lackings how would we spend our weekends??????????

But then…..if there is no demand for better products..there wouldn’t be any production. And no production..boley toh no progress…and no work for all of us in different service sectors. Be it a watch company which innovates new designs or a software company that provides enhancements…we would have no work, if people would just say satisfied with what they bought yesterday…..and that would mean a dead end!!

There is absolutely no conclusion in this account. Its just a debate between the wise and the otherwise. As the diplomatic people would probably put it: ”a thin line of separation is but essential between the needs, the luxuries and the fantasies”.

Would just like to end saying that..3 cheers to the variety in life.. that has given provision for people of different opinions to coexist.
