Come summer and our country goes berserk with the onset of latest branded lawn materials in the stores.This is one of the newest phenomenon that is fleecing the poor or more appropriately coined richer women lot who rush to the exhibitions thinking the day to be their last on earth. I also happened to visit one of such exhibtions and phew what a fiesty and fisty drama there was. ladies were properly armoured to win a battle to enter the stall arenas. I kept ducking in and out to get a teeny meeny glimpse of that priceless material but man it was not to happen for me. I could'nt even hold the revered texture that costed a fortune.Still luckily or unluckily those women were able to win the battles and get into the mainstream to stash a number of cotton and lawn materials onto their trolleys and head truimphantly towards the payment counter. I could only get the list of prices of a few sets and my oh my it surpassed even my highest limits. So much for dreaming of all those ethereal beauties on the telly and think I could look like them if I wore these labled lawns.
Anyways I did'nt lose heart or determination and decided to visit yet another promised lawn lable to turn me into another genre of prettiest princess as shown on the cover of a fashion mag. I huffed and puffed to catch hold of those coveted materials but was pushed back womanhandled till I lost all my patience. So, I bull dived in the arena and got out of the vicious circle with a handful of lawn in my arms and ran to the counter to pay and show all my friends that finally I also was one of the labled brigade. The price punched in and I was handed the receipt. I truimphantly took my stuff and opened my bag to do my payment and looked at the receipt and..was taken miles aback..my heart nose dived and lost all breath..this meagre, measly , informal piece of cloth demanded a hefty amount that I thought could have easily bought me a formal dress that could have lasted more than one season but well I was labled..I bought that branded good for nothing for just a few months for me material just because every one else was buying it and headed home to call every one I knew that I was also finally going to be one of the labled lot.Ha..things we do to please others..we in turn get either hoodwinked or LABLED! lol!
