How to avoid crazy shoppers...


So the other day.. some time before Christmas I think it was .. Utsav and I were taken along (*cough* *cough* dragged *cough*) shopping by Tassia and Rima.

Now any and every guy knows.. (and this is cliche..) that you dont want to be shopping with two girls in a mall just before they are heading home to Goa on a holiday break.

So, since we are experienced in the tricky business of avoiding roaming from store to store looking at endless outfits all of which look the same five minutes into this exercise, and since we are masters of avoiding those trick questions that all women ask when they go shopping (ie. the ever green "will this fit me ?", and "do you think this will make me look fat ?" ... to name a few).. I have decided to post our mini guide to escape.


Step 1 : Pretend to shop for yourselves in *one* store. (preferably the first one)
Step 2 : Take really long to do step 1.
Step 3 : Keep at step 1 until they get fed up in said store and tell you .. "ok we'll meet you at place X at time Y."
Step 4 : After departure of crazy shoppers, find nearest big armchair, and flop there. Stay there.
Step 5 : When time Y approaches, call up crazy shoppers and say you will meet them at place Z at time T.
Step 6 : Stay in chair.
Step 7 : Repeat step 6 till time to end crazy shopping trip.

Its works I tell you. I have pictures to prove it. Utsav and I survived. All we bought was a deodorant.
