Jai: (already carrying a ton of clothes,tired and bugged replies in an exaggerated tone) "Oh my god Meera! tum bahut achhi lagg rahi ho! Itni achhi dress ho kaise sakti hai?le lo isse,le lo abhi"!!!
Meera (looks in the mirror): "Neck thodi low hai na"?
(Eventually she bought that dress. Well I don't remember the exact dialogues but it was somewhat similar. Courtesy: Love Aaj Kal.)
The reason that the conversation appeals to us (or may be it's just me,anyhow...) is because of the simple fact, it's displayed beautifully. It represents how us women are not satisfied with almost anything and we will not buy till we found that perfect dress which is not perfect cause it looks good but its price makes the purchase feasible and worth it and most importantly something we can easily claim "it" as a "STEAL!" :P.
Whether you've faced the wrath of it when you were out with your aunt while she chose sarees, your friends who forcibly stopped you and made you enter a jewellery shop while you felt your dignity chaffed, your mom who tried to buy you the "cool"est shirt, your sister trying to buy a gift for her fellow friends birthday or worst of them all..your girlfriend trying out clothes when you know that maximum times she has absolutely no inclination on buying it and is just doing to kill time..and yet, every time she does come out of the changing room you are supposed to say the right words even if it looks horrible, you are supposed to put it extremely subtlety and with caution. The words to be uttered are,"This color is not suiting your complexion!"; or something similar cause "Hell hath no fury like a women scorned during dress trials". :P
While few men (sons and fathers form the group "men".) act grudgingly while taken out for shopping, and crib that they are missing the tennis match of a lifetime whereas it could be Sania Mirza & Venus Williams; few others actually have given up their hopes of enjoying a lazy day on the couch flipping through channels with a hand bearing the TV remote just flopped on the sofa, they follow their female counterparts (mothers or daughters alike) to wherever they are asked to.
While they are at the shopping center, they know,"This is it!I'm gonna be here for at least the next three hours! How could I amuse myself? I've already checked out the new XBOX games, and the lazyboy. What next?" Who so ever said,"An empty mind is a devils workshop", was pretty darned correct cause what entails is a repercussion of what a bored man can do, well..when he is bored!
So next time you go shopping at a place where you have a membership..Leave your male counterpart at home :P
