This year 2009 witnessed one of the greatest recessions ever. I looked around me and was trying to understand how would it's impact be? Well at first it instilled in me a constant fear of losing my job. Some of my dear friends did go through this ordeal. My heart goes out to them and I wish them all the very best till they come out of this temporary yet painful phase.
So, going along, it was one of those times of the year, where the ladies have a gala time!! It is called the End of Season Sale.I saw every shop which had something or anything to sell, put up a 50% off board outside. I thought, hmm, recession time, this year the sale season is not being to be a super duper hit. I thought some of those rare people who are still managing to keep up a good and stable job might be turning up.So, just to spend a Saturday afternoon doing something better than sleep at home, I decided to venture out, to check out one of the malls.
And what I saw amazed me and all I want to say is Mera Bharat Mahan. Ladies, ladies, ladies with sacks full of shopping, running around lest their keen eyes have missed something out of this world. Whilst keeping an eye out for what thy neighbor is checking out, (how can she have what I don't?), handling kids and promising them goodies if they were patient enough to sustain in this boring hell for a little while longer, gossiping on the cell phone and informing more of their clan as to what they were missing out and how they should be at this happening place at the next instant.(Before the stocks run out).
Recession? Huh, what is that?????
oh dear, more blogs to come. I wonder what happens if you're active on twitter :O
ReplyDeleteHere comes the dreaded R word.. But you have to worry about it only if u have no job and huge liability on ur head. If either of the condition is false then u r in safe zone. So all bachelor boyz and gals don't worry abt the R thingy. Just party and shop around and help economy recover.. don't forget its the flow of money(liquidity) which keeps economy alive and kicking.
ReplyDeleteWe all should be grateful to the fairer sex because they are major spending force in the economy.
Now my question is what did U buy that day? ;)
@swaroop - thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDelete@mohit - what ALL did I buy is the question :p
The post must have been titled "Hum ladies mahaan" or something indicating that nothing can hold them (ladies) back from shopping!
