Budget is not the word that chances upon to influence my mum...Never at all!

At a time when professors haven't been paid for months, and are being economical, mumma dumbfounds me again with her shopping spree..

She needed a suit for her bday, which is on the 6th...we had decided on buying something simple...an evening wear, suited for family occasion....but she eventually picked something so elaborate and expensive, it seemed as though I were getting married, and she was under some unbridled urge to look the most stunning mum around!

Okay, the suit was really too good...anybody would dote on that.. But how could she shell out so much?

And buy three more, when only one was needed? And buy also the sandals...the purse...the photo frame...even flowers...and a Ganesha statue too?

And couple that with what?
A crystal paper weight that she is never gonna use!

But...amid it all, there was fun... After such long time, we got to shop together..and eat out together.. And spend time....talking sweet nothings, while stranded in traffic..

Those sweet nothings fade in the corridors of time...Eventually...But before they fade, they certainly make the power of attachment go stronger!
