it all started with need and then became greed. the day was fated to be my most expensive day in barca so far.
but before that, my last post bombed. n that's where i start counting my sins. i thought i was going to be this thriller-writer, creator-of-suspense blah-blah. big s***. i am not. so in repentance here's a song, for MD whom it hit the hardest:
o mere sona re sona re sona re...(next two line not applicable)... hua kusur khafa mat hona re...
khabar jaari hai. i really wanted bathroom slippers. Couldnt keep using my Osho chappals for that, they are way too smart. so yesterday i walked into a discount shoe store. 6 euros a pair. thats sin #2. then i bought a pair. sin #3. fluroscent green with white flowers on it! but thats forgivable since they were for 3 euros a pair!!
and from then on it was a roll. sin # 4,5,6.. i soon lost count. Blackberry! yeah yeah now i am a part of the 24x7-online social jerks. oh but haven't i been that already for the past few days anyway. so i had to have some chocolate to gulp down all that guilt. i remember dad, my Chief Education Sponsor, saying, "its all right, you can buy it". saving grace that i rented it.
next i played with the idea of skimpy clothes, but in the end resisted them. settled for 5 pairs of socks instead. phew! but, i couldnt resist a levis skirt and that too at 42 euros after a 50% discount. if i were to take the "which Sarabhai character are you" on Facebook, i am sure i would be the sale-crazy Monisha!! even though this skirt comes after the BB on the costliest items list, guilt-wise its my biggest sin so far.
but the lord forgave me and directed me to a satsang in the evening. yes a satsang in barca! it was being held at this sindhi family's place who had shared my lost baggage woes and i just thought i should visit them to say thanks for the other day. i got some prasad too and ta-da all my sins got washed off. some penance. and now its gets even better.
all this was happening a day before my birthday. so my BB is dad's gift and the skirt is MD's. that lays to rest all the last bit of the guilt. the birthday started with a bang too. we had this all barcelona MBA alumni party and thats where i started my birthday. to save money we had a pre-party to prepare for the club. you know what i mean. but i behaved like a good girl. met more of my new classmates and on the whole it was good. the birthday continues today. so lets see whats in store for me. will keep you guys posted!
