Seal That Deal!

I have always loved watches, ever since I was in kindergarten, yes, seriously! Till primary school, my mother would buy me local watches with cartoon characters printed over them and I wore those with much elation. With time, my fascination only grew in size and I got my first branded watch in class sixth, an HMT with a dash of color. Well, my post is not about watches but the main point I wish to thrust is something else- I mean, we all love certain things where the buying process is therapeutic in itself. Some people are addicted to buying clothes, say jackets or saris, and some others, shoes. One friend of mine loves heels and says shopping for the same relieves her gloom.

Let me tell you about a small incident that happened yesterday- I had a voucher of a brand which could be redeemed only at its physical store and not on the brand’s online portal. So, in such sultry weather and after postponing something I was working upon, I went all the way to the brand’s outlet after an hour’s drive and spending an unfair amount for parking. As I knew what exactly I had to buy, I went straight to the watches section and to my utter disappointment, could not locate the desired brand. However, another good one came to my rescue. So, I spent around 40 minutes, exploring the collections of various watches and got one, finally using the vouchers. The mall was almost empty and the food court was just too far so I came out and drove back home. 

Alright! So you must be wondering the logic behind my describing this experience. If there were online coupons, I would have saved on two important things- money and time. The fuel, toll and the parking charges could have been saved along with almost an entire day. In such cases, when you have to buy and wish to save a good amount on the deals too, online coupons are Godsend gifts!

Even better is that now there are websites that make coupons available according to your purchase. You just have to visit such a site that not only provides product reviews but attractive bargains, vouchers and deals too. So, first choose the coupon as per your shopping type and size and use it (the code) at the time of checkout. To put simply, a penny saved is penny earned!

I shop a lot online and there are certain websites, I love using Myntra coupons very frequently and I remember, a few months back, I purchased a brown off white dress from that site. This is some model wearing the same in the picture. So, this dress stole my heart and I ordered it instantly. However, it would have been far better had I visited a deal coupon site and could have saved much. But now, there is no worry, be it any online site or portal, we can save and seal a good deal! I generally prefer CupoNation to search for the best deals and offers online.

What’s Wrong With Indian Men???

I am sure there is something seriously wrong with Indian men. A few minutes back, I have just returned from a reputed bank and really wish to share the incident. I went there along with my father and was wearing a knee- length dress. It was a usual one piece dress which was not at all revealing or indecent in any manner. However, as I entered, the bank guard stared at my bare legs in such a dirty way that I had to resist myself from slapping him tight. He then tried giving me a smile and while I was interacting with a bank official, I saw him hovering around, staring at my legs, enjoying the ogling act with an equally obnoxious colleague. As we proceeded towards the exit door, he again tried giving me a smile. I wonder if wearing a dress is such a crime that a girl is perceived as a piece of meat and has to bear all those lecherous gazes that are indeed an assault on dignity. There is something very wrong with most of the Indian males. I know so many men from well respected and educated families who have absolutely no manners to behave with women and no inhibitions before raising their voice and even hands on them. It shames me that our society is really rotten in this regard.

It also makes me feel extremely ashamed that two of my male cousins fall into this category. I have snapped ties with both of them as the last resort. Nothing deters them from indulging in violence and verbal abuse but the most disturbing thing is that their mothers consider it to be very normal. Both are engineers and have educated and working parents but lack even a trace of sophistication. I often wonder why the hell they are related to me. This is such a punishment.

However, I think there is no character development as far as male progenies are concerned for parents devote their entire energy and ‘sanskaars’ towards girls, training them in coyness and to stay subdued and quiet, and to coil within like a snail when any male shows interest or behaves indecently. It would have been much better if most Indian parents had taught their sons to respect women.

Indian male mentality sucks and I feel ashamed of my culture that treats women like an object of fun and a piece of meat.

PS: To hell with such pigs- I’ll buy a dress today.
