How awesome is online shopping?

Pretty awesome I have to say. Everything I MEAN everything is available online. Why do I need to go to a mall and jab and elbow my way around or be around pretentious people who wear sunglasses indoors because you know, 'my eyes are so puffy from last night, dahling' when I can get every damn thing on this planet, ON-FUCKING-LINE?!

Its not that I have never had any bad experiences. I have had tons of experiences. Experiences which will be told by me to my grandchildren on a cold night when they bother me with story time and I just want them to get out of my hair so they never come running to me again for stories. The kind of stories which will give them nightmares. The kind of stories which gave ME nightmares. *shudders*.

Anywho, in my tenure of searching for online sites (which I do everyday, mind you) I have come across some pretty awesome ones. I started off with Fashionandyou.com which was THE site which launched and told India about the benefits of online shopping. This was the time they had just launched and the only way you could access the site was when you became a member via an invite from another member and they got 1000 bucks credit which meant you could too which meant you had to coax your friends and colleagues and shamlessly open the site at 1100 hrs EVERYDAY cuz of the new sales and flaunt your new thigamajigs on their faces. Yeah I was and I am notorious for opening the sites at 1100 am.

I then discovered 99labels.com and quite honestly I wasn't impressed with it. It was very 'meh'. Thats when they decided to revamp their site and voila! I was instantly hooked. Then came the online grocery sites (I have never shopped from them quite honestly) and then I thought if this is what is happening to the world then I am sure that ALL my favourite stores outside of my environmental technical bubble will have the options of online shopping as well! Thats even better 'cuz I would have already seen the thingy there physically and its delivered right to my door step.

I am not sure if you have heard of Tappu ki Dukaan or Happily Unmarried or Hitplay but they are awesome online stores. I have never gotten a chance to visit the stores in person. Cuz who has the time in Bombay when a 20-min car ride takes ONE AND A HALF HOURS????????? Where is our God now, huh? (Take deep breaths) The thing with these sites is that because they are soooo conveniently located in the city itself it is usually sent over in less than 24 hrs. So the other day I ordered a wine rack from Tappu ki Dukaan at about 4 pm. I called them up and requested them to please see if they could get the delivery done by the next day. They said that they will try but can't promise. So I was all like 'Ok but please try and thanks a lot' (It is a court-marriage-ceremony's-yet-to-happen-but-you-are-not-single-anymore-so-here-is-a-wine-rack present for Mehta. I have not told you about her? I have to. Will dedicate a post to her). So I was at work minding my own business when the courier boy called me and told me that the parcel had come. Now knowing how much I shop online I do tend to forget the stuff I have ordered. So I went down and guess what I saw? No! The wine rack fools! I was so excited I almost cried. Also because it was so heavy. So I really wanted to thank them. This is my thanks to you for the awesome-sauce service.

So Its been a year and some 3 months since I got transferred to this hotel. This is how many orders I have made till now- 130 (not all the orders have just one item). This is the amount of money I have spent on these orders- INR I dont even want to think about it. anymore paise.

Yes yes online shopping is addictive.

Oh I haven't gone to the online stores in hours.

Feeling adventurous on a Monday

said no one EVER. I know I know. I know all my posts now a days begin with 'I know I know I am not too good with updating the blog' and pretty soon my posts will start with 'I know I know all my posts begin with I know I know all my posts begin with.....' you get the drift right? OMG this EXACTLY like inception. Its Blogception. I can die happy now. :) 

Please do forgive me for the above sentences 'cuz its a Monday night and though I DID feel adventurous it lasted for barely 2 seconds and it was gone. Gone like that piece of chocolate which was right in front of me. Seriously, where the hell did it go? Wait, as a well know meme of terminator says, 'I will be Bach'.

3 hours later of soul searching-

Nope. Nada. Nothing. I guess I ate it in depression of HOW BORING MY LIFE IS! Yes my lovelies. Please entertain me. There is nothing to write about. Except, ooh, guess what guess what guess what? I am going on a holiday with a female friend (lets call her SG) in the 1st week of April! I am soooo excited. So the minute we were planning our leave (she quit. Got into ISB u know. Clever bitch) I called up ALL my unmarried cousins and asked them if they were planning to get married anytime soon 'cuz I am TIRED of taking leaves for marriages and not even one of them is mine. So in those gazillion odd vacays I have taken I have never been able to throw a hissy fit or plan my honey moon, or take leave and go shopping for pretty things. Anywho, so we are going traveling bitches! For FOUR. FULL. FUCKING. DAYS! Yes, 4 days in a hotelier's life is equivalent to going on a world trip traveling at the speed of light, ok? Sheesh! I am sure all of you guys will be those annoying customers. I mean its like u r LITERALLY begging us to spit in your coffee. Whats the deal man?

So I CANNOT wait. AS and I had a big fight last week cuz u know how women PMS and cant understand anything logical and how men PMS and understand everything logical. We made up tho. Cuz we are awesome that way. Ooh one more thing. I went for my 2nd concert. For AVB. For the ASOT 600th episode. (AVB- Armin Van Burren). I grew up getting introduced to trance 'cuz of him. It was like my childhood hero is up there. (ASOT 600th episode- A State of Trance 600th episode). (I got groped and felt up when people were dying for beer. I mean seriously? Just cuz there was no room to elbow you trust me I hope you get kicked on your balls with someone wearing high heels and then u jump barefoot in a lego pit. That will teach you to touch women inappropriately. Asshole) Because its India there were 2 technical faults. I mean how can there not be. But who cares?????? Below are a couple of pics. Of the concert. Yes die in jealousy u lesser mortals who couldn't make it! Die!



And then AS and I made up-


I am going and crashing and I swear I will be more regular. I know all my posts end with me saying 'I swear I will be more regular'. Pretty soon they are gonna end with 'I know I end my posts with I know i always say I will be more regular...... etc (end of thinking capacity)' u get the drift right? OMG its like I am on a roll! Blogception all the way! Take that DiCaprio. 

Ok I will shut up.
