My favourite shopping

I am an NRI in Bahrain and my native is Chennai. In chennai, my favourite time pass was shopping in t.nagar, particularly road side shopping in Pondy bazaar and ranganathan street. I love to go there even under hot sun. I wont feel tired at all roaming there. It is a real excitement to see new arrivals of churidhar materials (displaying the latest movie or heroine names as its name), matching bangles, studs, bindhis, cosmetics. My shopping will start with a hot pop corn from one end of ranganathan street and its a real fun munching pop corn and watching around. Even in off-seasons there is a huge crowd there.

When I came to bahrain, I found only sophisticated malls, no road side shops, no bargaining, no crowd even during festivals. Though it is looking very neat, very disciplined and what not, the fun I had in t.nagar shopping is totally missing for me. Rushing among the crowd and searching for our favourite color dresses in the midst of other dresses, with the dress material in hand and searching for matching artificial jewellery is all real pep. Whenever I go for shopping in Bahrain, I immediately used to think of my sweet t.nagar shops.

Last year Diwali I was in Bahrain. Unfortunately, we didn't get signals for the TV programmes. We missed those SIRAPPU NIGAZCHICALs too. No sound of crackers, no tv programmes, no road side shopping. I immediately told my husband that we should be in India for the next diwali.

We have decided to be in India for this diwali. I am just waiting to rush to my favourite t.nagar for my diwali shopping.
