The shopping festival is here again!

The festival season is here and we are in the mood to buy almost anything that comes our way. Recently it was the most celebrated Islamic festival - Eid and the sales were really high and the shopping festival started with full energy. And we have only one month in hand for our biggest festival , Durga Puja. The most awaited five days of the year when we all are just at our best.



But, to be at our best we need to get ready for it, so its the shopping season for all of us. And i will not highlight on any such bad side of shopping, else everyone will think that 'this Saptarshi always finds something in everything'. We will get to see tremendous crowds in shops and road jams are very common. Everyone cannot afford to spend thousands of rupees on garments and accessories but everyone gets the best for their family and self. The shops which do not get much of customers whole year also get customers. This is a way of God to make everyone happy before she arrives.

We spend a lot, eat a lot and have fun. Shopping is something that almost everyone likes, maybe not everyone is a shopaholic but at least we all like to look good and be fashionable in our own ways. We come across different situations while shopping and one such situation is when we become so engrossed in shopping or rather we like something so much that we do not even see the tag and when we are to pay the money its like thunder striking us. But, still we cannot get rid of it. Or, when we quarrel among our family either because i liked something and my father did not like it or the price is outside my father's budget. However, at times we need to get rid of the pricey choice and settle down on something within our budget. And as for me, shopping for shoes has always been difficult. i do not know why but i cannot choose shoes as easily as i choose clothes, it seems nothing is worth the attraction. These things remain as wonderful memories of  puja shopping. Shopping is like a practice period for the big festival ahead. So, happy Shopping. look good, feel good and make others feel the same.

Let's sing the song of equality Nothing is greater than human, nor important. No difference in country-time-person, same for all religion, In countries, times, and houses they are relatives. Devotee, open the door, God of hunger is standing at the door, time for devotion. Seeing the dream, eager devotee opened a temple, Surely he will be a king today by the blessing of God.
