I Love Malls, I Hate Malls, I Love Malls, I Hate Malls ......

Similar experience Satchi! Almost!
Recollected the day when I stood in queue outside a Sainsbury to buy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [The last of that series] for a premium price, that being the within the first week of its release, only to find an even better copy available in the local library that week-end.

I never like to be in a hurry,
Yet, I try my best to scurry
Away when I'm invited to a mall.
I'm sure that its not a divine call,

At least for myself who is so good
In saving pennies and spending pounds,
Ending up in a similar likelihood
Of having so less to cover my ground.

A new soap or shampoo or a perfume
Is enough to allow me to resume
The habit that I stopped 'n' times
Boy! These are just horrid times!

What you once bought, thinking that
You would never get it at that price,
Is often found later in a corner plot
New and away from your own eyes.

But a mall sounds so good to be,
If you are meeting a friend there;
Talk for hours without shopping any,
And return home happy, calling it fair.

 

Hello my dear Satchi,

So nice to see you rocking the snippets forum once again, back in your element I see! Am so glad for you gal, missed your snippeting!

Well, I would have read this even if it was not nominated to FP, but the fact is, it is!:rotfl :thumbsup Looks like Shyamala enjoyed this post as much as I did!

Well, thanks or no thanks to Kelly, you seem to have had a great shopping day at the Mall and as I read it, did enjoy the experience after all. Well, what are the purses for if not for making a big hole through them?! Just eat that soup in those pretty bowls for the soup will stay with you as a nutrient while the money will go one way or the other, right?

As for me, I am fascinated with the Mall culture of India today! When I left India, no malls there. As a matter of fact, considering the time I landed in the west, even here they were not as huge and all consuming as they are today!

These days, if I visit my beloved land, it is only for a short period. But then, who cannot be lured with all the fantastic wares of India? No time but big greed to get few of those luscious things and I admit that it is the mall that invites me. No traffic, no crowds to elbow your way through, variety of wares under one roof, cool thanks to AC and all that yummy Indian food courts...I luv our malls! Even the burger at McDonalds tastes heavenly where as we avoid Mc'ies like plague here!!!!!!!!

During my recent visit, I remember our friend Sindhu getting all troubled when I requested her to take me to the nearest mall. She looked at me all lost and confused and said, "I don't know where the malls are here, I avoid them and don't like them." But, go she did to please me!!!!!!
