Girls Day Out

(Day 38 of 112)

Today was one of those days that involved all things girly (and some things not so girly). We (my friends and I) started the day with the new Harry Potter movie (my views on that deserve an exclusive post so not much on that here). To put it concisely, we were bored enough to start making after-movie plans while the simple task of hiding a book became a romantic outing on screen.

Anywho, after the movie we decided to go meet another friend (who was smart enough not to have joined us). Our point of rendezvous was Bandra, selected for its shops, all of which are having their annual monsoon sale, making it perfect for a girls day out!

We began small – with the hundreds of shops/stalls/cart on the road selling everything imaginable, right from jewellery and clothes to lingerie and bags. Once we’d had our fill of laughing at the weird stuff on display we went in for a quick lunch – which lasted about 2 hours and was full of gossip, sharing, advice and discussions on late-night south Indian tv channels.

Fed and watered, we emerged onto the roads again, this time laughing ourselves silly looking at the clothes that were draped on mannequins (we were very discreet and not at all mean I promise you.) We also went into several branded shops and alternately loved/hated their clothes and/or prices. And although I don’t like shopping too much, doing it with friends and spending more time in discussing and analysing the clothes rather than trying them out made it so much more fun I tell you!

And so this girl’s day out started with a movie and caramel popcorn and ended with shopping bags full of clothes, footwear and new bags. Oh and loads of gossip and laughter.
