Let's Go Shopping.....Hilarious!!!!

Last two weeks was exams galore!!!!! shall blog about the torments, tortures and distortions of that when i'm in a peevish pique!!! For now, check out our typical guy friend's hapless shopping exploit with typical girl pal!!!!!! :D
Courtesy: Forward frm aforementioned friend V!!!


10:45 am:
Female friend declares intention to buy women's clothing

10:52 am: Author's heart resumes beating and partial activity returns to both lobes of brain

11:20 am: Enter Spencer's Plaza

11:25 am: Decide to buy women's clothing first as we only have 4 hours left before the movie and she needs the time

11:30 am: Decide to visit Pantaloons first

11:32 am: Black t-shirt right length too tight

11:42 am: Maroon t-shirt right fit but too short

11: 43 am: Green t-shirt in right length and fit but not available in pink. Pink has been declared as favourite colour

11:45 am: Author suggests pink t-shirt that seems right in fit and length. Severe feedback received on the unsuitability of colour of piping. Author requested to refrain from further comment or input

11:47 am: Wonderful yellow t-shirt. She loves it. Things looking good. She asks the Author if she looks fat in it. Author mentions slight tightness around the arms. 10 minutes of abuse evenly split between author and t-shirt. Mothers of both briefly referred to.

11:50 am: Pantaloon found to be severely short on choice, colours and sizes. Female anger let loose on security guard. Cashier however is politely spoken to as he is cute.

12:00 pm: Westside endowed with our attention and time. Initial reaction positive. The lighting highlights complexion well and air conditioning is just right. Saleswomen not hot. Things looking good.

12:05 pm: Kurti in orange has bad red embroidery

12:06 pm: Kurti in orange without embroidery is too plain. I suggest nice brown sleeveless shirt. Curtly reminded of previous request to "SHUT UP WHEN I AM DECIDING!!!"

12:07 pm: Kurti in orange with just the right embroidery. Hurrah. No wait. She already has similar top. Damn.

12:08 pm: Pink t-shirt is perfect but way too tight. Pink is a horrible colour. I agree. Maroon is actually the favourite colour. I am hungry. I agree to that too.

12:15 pm: NO ONE WEARS T-SHIRTS ANYMORE. Absolutely I say. Button down shirts here we come.

12:16 pm: Asked to check if neck is too deep. I take my time to decide. Almost gets slapped. No guys around to notice. Phew

12:20 pm: Suggest lunch break. Heavy plastic hanger with metal clips misses right eyeball by inches. Sorry.

12:30 to 2:30 pm: Finally the perfect blue loose shirt with a spot-on neck and an immaculate print design on the front. She tries it on and I tell her she looks like Phoebe in one of the episodes in season 4. This time hanger does not miss. Ouch.

3:00 pm: Paid for the top and it's in the bag. We proceed to the men's section.

3:05 pm: Two shirts, one t-shirt and a pair of jeans tried, packed and paid for. She complains of too much delay and possible missing of movie. I briefly mention the difficulty of shopping with one eye in bandage.

Well....so much for the feel good day our man was looking for!!!!!!! Cheers!!!!!!!

Chasing Deadlines...

Vanakkam!!!
Trust me....when i start working, i'm gonna make SURE tat i get a job tat does NOT involve chasing cumbersome deadlines!!!!! :O
Pardon....but the whole of last two week tat's precisely wat i've bin doing. (Sarcastic looks and what!!-that's-your-fault looks absolutely not appreciated!!!!)

Physics record, chem record, physics, chem and so on and so forth. As if tat's not very nice, we had this irritating-to-the-power-infinity exam on electrical gadgets, typewriting theory, physical education and health!! wow!!!

I agree written work is essential for formation of good study habits. (i apologize!!!) But TWENTY experiments in each record is a trifle too many!!! Disagreeing is not allowed!!!! Well.....i prefer that we don't go into facts such as i had to submit it a month back and was lazy to do it!! Ahem...better left alone!!

After a lot of maska and a lot of this-won't-happen-agains,
Ma'am: Well...apdiya....seri ma....keep it here n go. Make sure you don't do it again!!!
