I dream of myself in a beautiful dress set with matching accessories, hand bag and a dazzling slipper. What do I do now? Login to a shopping portal and check if my dream dress is available anywhere. After a long search, eureka, I got it. That makes my day. I authenticate my bank balance to the shopping site, and after Computer ji accepts it, its over. I will get my dream dress delivered to me in the next 5 - 10 business days. :)
This is not limited to just dress. I can dream of any possible thing and as long as Google is present, I can find umpteen shopping portals to find my wishlist.
I get whatever I want but am I not missing the happiness I get from each 'phase' in physical shopping. Shopping physically inflicts joy in its various phases starting from planning to procurement.So shopping's definition does not restrict to just getting things whatever we require. Its much more, actually, so many strings attached. :) :) LOL.
It starts with a deep intimation or carving for a particular product, then plan budget for it, the dates to go for shopping, plan for the right shop and even a perfect attire to go and finally means of commutation.
Once all these plans are made, we are set to go. Then comes the 'Implementation Phase'. There is an assured thing that except for one or two plans, all others will have a major deviation. Still cant leave out the joy of the planning phase. :)
Reaching the shop, greeted by the Salesman/Woman, getting shown to the appropriate section, touching and feeling the displayed wares, the aroma of the new thing filling our nasal cavities with mind racing and heart judging if it matches our tastes.:P
Once the heart gives its judgement, hands automatically grope the price tag, fingers crossed to check if it is within our budget. The joy we get in finding our dream thing at affordable price is just unexplainable. :) :) :)
Stumbling upon various online shopping portals to see the latest trend for Xmas, I was kindled to write this blog. Not to forget to mention that I have got my dream dress for Xmas, my first Xmas after wedding. :p So just thought of sharing my joy of shopping. :)
Advance Happy X'Mas all of you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletecompletely agree with you in physical shopping. It gives immense pleasure to shop, even though I find n number of good shopping website. As Indians, we believe in touch and feel of the products, but shopping culture is changing, is it due to marketing gimmick of the shopping portal or change in consumer mind.
