Shopping in Antique Shop!

 

“A Picture speaks a thousand words” but here I have been asked to write 1000 words on this picture…. Here is my take!

  On Sunday morning around 9 P.m, the alarm rings nonstop⏰⏰. I woke up with a jerk to check and was searching my mobile thinking hardly ,why it is not stop buzzing . Generally, I do not set alarm for Sunday. Finally, I picked up the mobile and found ,.Huh.. My manager’s house-warming ceremony and a remainder that I set to buy a gift..!🧧 Cool… With a sigh, I close the alarm, again trying to catch the sleep… while I am in  the mode of sleep and awake, planning to where and what to buy for him..

 Gift for house warming! Quite tedious to choose a gift.. Generally I would have clarity on what and where I need to buy gift.  My shopping style is that , is quite straight to the point. I am not window-shopping person nor the get into to a shop and explore every items that kept for sale..💁

 For a change, this time I did not have clarity on what to be gifted. With that confusion, woke up and had my coffee.. My morning coffee is very important to kick start the day ! The clock already touched 10:15 AM.. Dialed my colleague number 👧and asked for suggestion.. Here you go, buy an antique piece..what a suggestion.. Thanks to my colleague.Safest way to gift and guess what, I have shop nearby to my stay..

 I planned to be in the house-ceremony function by 2-3 PM . I need at least 30 mins for shopping. With that calculation, started from my stay to antique shop around 1:30 PM..😎

 As I walk in, a guy with decent look came to say, “mam – what are you looking for..? How can I assist you? “A quick smile and I said, let me have a look around and will tell you what I need..! Please,Excuse me for now.. he politely allowed me to a look around and sat in his position having an eye on me.. ! perhaps he would have thought I will not buy anything??? Certainly, I do not look of lady who takes and run away.. 😊

 Glanced around the shop by small steps. The shop had all sort of antique collections starting from lights, wind chimes, paintings, statues, skeletons, showcases, wood-made toys,  scary animal statues etc..

 My mind voice “I am not sure why people will make something scary in the name of antique 💀👹👺!!”  Quality and price are equally important while I buy!.. Luckily, all antiques was having a price tag..

 Oh! wait. Something stopped me, A Chariot!! It was looking pleasant…  I shortlisted and moved on to check other antiques.. .Next to that, there was a ship and light lamps that remained me Devadas movie.. “silsila ye chahat ka… ..’ nice song.. .. With that thought, moved on as the time is running.. As time ticking,  my colleague called to ask have I  reached  and what I am doing??

 

Oh my.. I got lost in antique shop for almost 30 mins .. !! An absolute eye treat. But ,I am late!  So, I went with my first choice.. “Prince with chariot”.. Decently gift wrapped and left the shop with a complete satisfied smile…😍

 So my readers, if you were in this antique shop, what would you buy? Please comment!👇

Meet you in next blog.

Kanni Maadam

Kanni Maadam- Book Review.. First of all, writing the pure Tamizh names to echo the same is really tough.. However here is my take.. I must appreciate the writer for writing it so lengthy. Even though in few places the description of the situation is dragging, but is not failing to impress neither it is hurts the story line.. The storyline, takes back to the world of king and war! Once upon a time, Tamilnadu was open to dangerous. Everyone wants to rule it because of the wealth or someone gave them space to stay! The story revolves around Madurai and Nellai. During that time, the primary rulers were Pandiyas  (Madurai) and Cholas (Nellai). During the thayathi war, Parakrama pandya was killed by Kulasekhara Pandiya. Before dying, he sought help from Illangarapuran to fight with Kulasekaran. Illllangarapuran defeated Kulasekara Pandyan and made Veerapandiyan as king i.e Parakirama Pandya’s son. So it become like a joke i.e I am wearing a shirt but it is not mine.. or in same line...
