Shoppinggggg!! I guess all of us just love to do that(atleast most of us). The joy of getting brand new clothes, shoes and accessories gives us immense pleasure. And the feeling that we get after buying these cannot be explained.We just feel that the world is a better place to live in to quote the words of the protagonist of the movie "Confessions of a shopaholic". That's a pretty good movie. A light hearted, enteraining movie but comes with a message. A movie that's is most wanted in times of recession and pink slips.
The movie shows a journalist who is addicted to shopping and keeps buying whatever nice things that she sees on the shop window and ends up with a huge credit card debts. She is such a big fashion freak that she wants to become a columnist of a fashion magazine and applies for a job in her dream company.Since the position that she had applied for had alreday been filled she ends up attending the interview of a finance and savings magazine. To her surprise the inteviewer is the same guy whom she had seen in a hot dog shop and who gives her a 23 dollars for buying a green scarf as she had exceeded the credit limit in all her cards. Though she was the wrong person for the job , she gets an offer from the firm and is forced to accept it to repay her credit card bills.
But in contrast to the expectations she becomes a very popular columnist of the magazine by writing a column on credit card usage titled"The girl with the green scarf".The story is all about this shopaholic girl and how she finally comes out of this addiction to shopping and in the end wins the heart of her magazine editor. My rating for this movie is 4/5. I had awhale of a time watching it. So what are you waiting for ...?Grab your pop corn and enjoy this movie. It would be a good weekend watch!!

Vision Cleared!!
Yeah.. I can see everything very clearly now. Yea..I feel great..Am extremely happy now.I felt relieved and as though a heavy burden is taken off from my face.The joy of being able to look into the world without a frame around my eyes is really great. I was so elated that I wanted to definitely write about this experience in my blog.Are you still wondering what I'm talking about? By now people who have been wearing spectacles and then have either used contact lenses or have gone for power correction through Laser surgeries would have been able to easily recognize what I'm talking about.I got my first pair of contact lenses!!My power is just -1(R) and -0.75(L) eye. You may wonder why I need a contact lens for this power.It is just for cosmetic reasons and who is spared from the curiosity to try new things in life. I'm no exception.I was so enthusiastic to get it, but after having got that I regretted it coz I was finding it very difficult to place it into my eyes.
Any object other than our own body can never be comfortable to us. Though with the advent of technology we have been able to correct all the defects in our body,the man made changes are not as perfect as God's creation.God is great!!Even the smallest foreign particles make us feel the difference from our own body parts.Just an additional pair of specs on your eyes is the best example to experience this feeling. People who wear specs constantly will be able to understand the difficulties of it.It is an irritating feeling as far as I'm concerned. I started wearing specs when I was 16 years old and it is nearly 8 years since I have been wearing specs.Initially the first time I was asked to wear it, I used to hate it like anything. It was taking some time for me to get used to that extraneous object in my body.I was feeling bad about the whole thing and could not even concentrate in my studies for some time,cause I was going on adjusting my specs and not concentrating on my work. Other thoughts used to run through my mind about my looks, "How am I looking wearing this pair of glasses.?Am I looking very old? What people are thinking about me?"I also used to wonder how did this problem come to me when no one in my family is wearing specs. I used to envy those people who don't have to wear glasses and curse my fate.But I had no other go and somehow had to wear it constantly, otherwise I could not see far off things like the bus boards and the classroom boards.
But gradually as time progressed and as I got busy with other stuffs in my life I got used to it and it almost became a part of my body.
I got my first pair of contact lenses recently. I struggled a lot to wear it the first time and the optometrist was very patient and helped me to place the lens into my eyes the first time. I was very happy once I put both the lenses into my eyes. For once I felt I could see things very clearly like seeing through my own eyes.Hats off to this man made marvel. After all man is great too!!;-) Though I'm not able to wear it with ease, I guess soon I'll be used to this also. But one day I would like to get rid of this too and go for laser surgery which would save me from all this pain. But initially getting the surgery done is also a pain,I'm wondering if I 'll be able to manage with that.Hope I get the strength and courage to withstand that so that I can enjoy the rest of my life without specs or contact lenses.
