shopaholic!

this country is crazy! the markets are so fabulous, there's a product for every conceivable need under the sun. you could literally say something like - i need a motion sensing, daylight sensing light that will switch on when i pass by but not during the day, and they would ask you if you want that in white or yellow. customized goods right at your wallet-tip. in india, when you need something for a specific need, you have to see whatever is available in the market and then adapt it to your use by making some modifications. heck, i couldn't even find a wire rack to place in the wardrobe as additional removable shelving! but here, there are so many options that it's bewildering at first! and boy, does it make you go mad! it seems like i've spent the past one year just salivating and buying, buying, buying, until i'm numb! but now i think it's beginning to settle down a little. most of the things i needed around the house are here. i still do keep getting tempted by new stuff, but now it's down to space vs. need ratio, so lot of the superfluous gets weeded out. i feel i don't have anything else to do, i'm getting bored so i keep rearranging the furniture and buying more stuff for the house. once my baby is in school/playschool, i can start working again and i won't have the time to bother with all this stuff. one can always hope! :)
