Been thinking for quite some time now, been hearing about it also … what else but BLOGS !! Tried to figure it for a long time that’s why the delay occurred as I could not decide what I would want to write about or discuss . I believe there exists thousands of blogs about movies , songs , politics , everyday stuff , politics , art etc. etc. the list s endless , but none about ME ( alas !!)
So , here I am with an all new topic of debate – what will I say about myself ( since I’m not a celebrity , I don’t think anyone would be really fascinated ). Hmm… maybe my routine ( no , I don’t want to bore you ) , my professional life ( does there exist one right now ?? ) , my personal life (hmmm…. But what does that consist of ? ).
Then how about I tell you the latest thing on my mind , what triggered it and which never gets out – SHOPPING . Ya ya I know it’s a beautiful indulgence . It’s every girl’s ( well almost ) fantasy. Taking it to another facet , I’m looking forward to the concept of a ‘PROFESSIONAL SHOPPER’ – you know the kind Becky Bloomwood was in ‘Shopaholic Goes Abroad – Sophie Kinsella ( must read everyone).
So , where was I , ya…. So there are endless things to shop right from clothes to shoes to bags to accessories to jewellery and not to forget the sub-categorization of clothes – formals ( suits, sarees, trousers , shirts) , casuals ( jeans , t-shirts ,kurtis ), western wear ( spaghettis , halters , tubes , skirts) to thousands of varieties of footwear ( sports shoes , floaters , wedges , kitten heels , stilettos , ballerina shoes , chappals ) and of course accessories ( earrings , rings , chains , hair accessories , anklets , wrist bands , bracelets , bangles ) and blah blah blah …..
And “DO” get me wrong , I am partial to girls ( it’s kinda obvious isn’t it ? ).
So the point is that do we really need a personal shopper ? even for our pet ( pun intended ). The job profile - does it consist of helping you to pick up random stuff ? NO !!! . it’s basically to help you judge and give you an opinion of whether the choice you are about to make is suitable for you or not ( and that after all the moolah you spend L).
I know it sounds a bit peculiar , especially in a culture like ours , where we’ve got our mothers and sisters ( in case of our generation gap with the first ) and not to forget our friends ( the family we choose for ourselves) . they give us advice about everything ( even if we don’t ask for it and our business definitely becomes theirs too ! ). So , why not them ?
Because ( I know our sentences are not supposed to start from bcoz !! ) we will all agree that the work of a professional will always give us an extra edge and bring us out in a different light i.e. a cut above the rest . As is the case with professional caterers , wedding planners ( yes they can also help you choose your trousseau ), event managers and so on.
How many times does this happen with us that we end up buying something which we are uncertain about or regret owning a piece of clothing which makes us look oh so fat ! my guess is plenty….
So why not change this when it really is possible. Why don’t we grow up and adopt this fresh idea of asking for assistance when needed.
