Contemplating if I am a Shopaholic (15)

Contemplating if I am a Shopaholic (15)

Well, I was in the Twin Cities of India, this weekend, for Lavanya's wedding.
Well the first day was at Char Minar, we shopped for bangles and mehendi (the detailed list is below).
We went to Paradise Persis for lunch and had succulent mutton Biryani.

Went back home then to Firangi Paani for the bachelor party.
The next day was haldi at Lavanya’s house, we had a traditional Telegu lunch on Thali’s.
Then was the best day of all!! SHOPPING!!!!
Following Saturday was the wedding, met mah old colleagues from IBM.
Then back to the grind to work, fortunately for lots of people including me, there is a state wise Bandh owing to the Cauvery water dispute. So more so its sleep-and-watch-movie day!

From Char Minar:

  • Bangles:
    Glittery silver glass ones.
    purple and green metal ones.
    one pink clay bangle.
    Black glass ones.
  • One Maang Tika, gold with diamantes for Trisha.
  • Some famous Karachi mehendi.

Went to Naampally, to the Karachi Bakery bought the famous biscuitsthen went to Meena Bazaar, Abids:

  • Earring one cube crystal hanging earrings.
  • One stud crystal pair.
  • Silver slippers.
  • Kolapuri slippers for Aryan.

From Hyderabad Central.

  • A black sling bag from Provogue.
  • A red off-shoulder top from Honey.
  • A wine coloured silk top from Honey.
  • A brown and Pink layered top from Honey.
  • A white and gold striped Baggit belt.
  • A printed top from Jealous.
  • An Akriti skirt, beige crushed with a printed layer below.

The last two were gifts.

I had a great time chatting up the auto drivers in Hyderabad who unlike Bangalore are not attitude ridden, they don’t try to con you, or take you for a ride (pun intended) on the contrary they are rather sweet and willing to help.
