Sale Fear

  • It’s the season of sales. Every clothing brand currently has an ongoing “off season” sale going on which offer up to 70% off in some cases. I’ve always found these sales scary. There are too many people in the store during the sale, clothes are just lying around everywhere and I can never find anything my size. I accompanied a friend to such a sale last Sunday and spent many hours trying to find something I liked. In the end, I couldn’t and decided to go back there when the sale is over. I guess I am destined to pay more for my clothes.
  • Yesterday evening, I finally finished reading “To Kill A Mockingbird”. I started reading it more than a month ago. Its the first novel I’ve read in years and I really liked it. I’ll be watching the movie too really soon. I consider this an achievement. I am working towards finishing things I start in life, small or big. I firmly believe in these lines:
  • I refuse to believe
    That my life’s gonna be
    Just some string of incompletes

  • Sunday night, I developed an allergy to something I ate and most of my body started itching. I somehow managed to sleep at night. I saw the doctor yesterday and got a few tablets to take care of it. These tablets, though helpful, make me drowsy. Right now, I don’t just feel drowsy but tired, bored and boring too. And that has brought my age old fear of turning into a boring guy one day to forefront again. Really, I fear that I’ll soon turn into one of those typical boring people. I hope that doesn’t happen.

    Freeze: Yes! I have to read “The Picture Of Dorian Grey” next. 2 more months, I guess! These typical boring people are those who I see all around me, living the same routine life without complaining or trying to make it less boring.

    I added the quote later that’s why it didn’t show up in your feed reader. :)

    Akanksha: Yeah, work is fortunately a little slow. I would not be able to get through the days feeling so sleepy otherwise. I listen to songs so much, its become a part of my boredom :D

    See, you bought uncomfy sandals because of the sale. You would never have bought it had the sale not been there. That’s why I dislike sales!

    “sale” draws any shopper to it, but i feel this is one marketing tactic which is used to get rid of some products… but most of the times the prodct doesnt seem to function or fit the way we expect it to be…

    Abhinav: Yeah, I am all better now! Ya, I’ll try the first day visit the next time. Lets see if it works for me. :)

    Preeti: Yes, that why I avoid any sale where clothes are thrown around. But some products are good and cheap, just not my size! :(
