one of those days!

There are times in your life when you just feel soo blue...You feel like you don't have what you deserve..That life is unfair to you..That you are denied what you are rightfully entitled to have..You feel like you don't fit in..or that nothing fits you..That is when you realise with a pang in your heart that.......you have outgrown all your clothes and you don't have anything new to wear today to college...



*sigh!*



Don't laugh. One day you Will know what i mean. God! i was soo angry today morning while getting ready for college..I mean, i woke up with a determination to pamper myself. wear my best clothes, and actually wear matching accessories( whatever that means!) and what do i find? oh, the apt question will be- what do i not find??



If i complain to my amma she would probably say this..

amma: Don't be silly, what about the blue dress we went and bought from kalyan?

me:its not washed!

amma:what about that one achan bought from madras?

me:i wore it already last week,and week before last and many more that preceded!

amma:hogwash! what about the one which igot drycleaned?

me:urm well..that one huh?? you think that will do?..(i ponder over this for some 38 micro seconds and fortunately comes out of the spell)

amma: and the one you just got stitched-the pretty pink one that your ettan got you?

me: er!

amma:oh i forgot.that black one-silky and smooth..best for this weather..

me: (dryly) oh that?

amma: you do look pretty in that green one you knw!

me: something tells me i won't be getting a new dress!

amma: something got the idea pretty quick. now go get dressed!



Ah! pains of growing up!i hate college for this thing(among many others) that i don't have a uniform..takes away the pleasure of showing off a new dress to all you know!

Don't tell me i am immature now! pshaw!!! sathyam para- you know what i mean don't you??



sigh! one look at the pricetags on the pretty salwars makes you wish that you still lived in the pre historic age, with jambavan as immediate neighbour and happening fashion statement!
shopping is so depressing these days! hmm..maybe one day i should just do what apoos did!



Oh! have to mention- inspite of all this my knowledge in fashion is still tagged meagre. like my knowledge in cooking. they say my cooking abilities "exceeds expectations"..yeah, they never expected me to distinguish salt from sugar,which i apparantly did! i suck at fashion too..my friends and classmates are seriously concerned over my idea of fashion.what will i do dears when you aren't around?

i mean whats the use that if you know the load twist graph of a torsion apparatus is a straight line passing through the orgin or that that the electron moving in a lattice moves in a periodic potential when you don't know that green skirt and blue top don't go well with each other???

oh oh...HELP!

so i am lucky number one to comment yeah? :)
i dont know if others would find this post childish n immature...but i dont!
i do empathise with what u went through this morning..n may b it might give u some solace if i tell u that i go thru it almost everyday...
n yes...things come with a heavy price tag these days which, obviously, robs the inherent fun of shopping...sigh! n the recession only makes things worse..alle?

anyways..agn the damsel said things which were always in my mind...n now they found expression...:)

ha ha ha... appo angine oru puthiya vesham kittanulla shramam paali..

and speaking about fashion sense, i think i got the chip wired a l'll strange whn the whole package of me being assembled at the high upper.
once I walked into the Warehouse with the firm intention of buying a pair of jeans, and while browsing, i saw a pair which is different from all others - and there was only ONE pair in the whole showroom , and i have never seen that color before. thought it will be a good fashion statement (ah, the delusions of a distorted mind - me and my fashion statement) and picked it up promptly. Wore it to office next day - and the whole office refused to say that i work with them... :-| can you gues what the color was????




It was a bright turquoise blue Jeans. :-|


uniforms is a savior- you dont have decide what to wear, and no one knows how many pair do you own...

and shopping - don't remind me.. now i am in a phase where I am sentenced to shop compulsory... sigh!

You're supposed to understand the load twist graph of a torsion apparatus, but don't like maths & proofs!! Boy aren't you in trouble!! :-)

Don't fret.In a couple of years, you'll pass outta college, make oodles of money and then you can hire a personal shopper to get you the best fashion statements money can buy!

Girls and shopping .. I just can't understand the fad about not wearing a dress twice ... what does a girl who doesn't have deep pockets do ?!!

I am asking this because I wan't chastise myself for some unmindful shopping ... But any how the post was humorous ....

totalliemeh said...

@ som..

hey welcome to my blog!!
hmm..yeah,i've been asked that qn by some..all of them men. no girl would ever ask that!! i don't know, i guess it is one of those things men may not understand in women..oh, we do wear a dress more than twice, even deeep pocketed girls wont go wearing one dress at one time..i was talking abt the long term effects, we do get bored when we wear the same dress over and over again!!

we are good at shopping and bargaining, and some of us r even good at tailoring out frm old clothes..we adjust..

just like men have their eccentricities, women have their own..we are not supposed to understand such things.about each other..

i can debate on ..i love the topic..sad u r the only person who actually got the gist of the post!

thanx! do drop by often!
