A Ladies' Day

Hello ppl! Back blogging after close to 2 whole months. Kya karoon.. life got kinda boring in between plus an appendectomy ain't sumthing I would enjoy writing about.. so in short had nothing much to report...

Today, I have decided to do something zara hatke.. Ha ha.. For once I am not gonna bore u guys with my IBM stories. A Ladies Night as u know, is a popular concept. Well, given Pune's horrible public transport system and our parents fear of us daughters not getting back on time, we decided to make it a Ladies' Day... And boy did we have a blast!

To begin some of us went to Pune Central in order to shop for a friend's birthday gift. As usual, we didn't get the gift early... bang on the day of the treat sabko jhatka laga. The shopping part surprisingly didn't take too long even tho the gift shopping team included someone who I would call a big pain to shop with.. He he.. no offence Sharmistha! It is incredibly difficult to satisfy her. But surprisingly within a very short span of time (I guess 30 min to 1 hour is very li'l time if 3 girls are shopping.. no kidding!). Swapna being Swapna was attracted to a red top which the rest of us vetoed. Again no hard feelings girl! Anyways, just when we were about to leave, we saw this Revlon free make up thing. Well, abhi free hai so letting the opportunity go would be sheer stupidity... We all thought that but felt awkward going and actually inquiring. Finally Sharmistha went n found out. I bought a lipstick (which fyi, my mom accidentally broke later) and we decided to get our so called makeovers done. Nothing much really.. some basic make up accompanied with beauty tips.

Following this we went to Gold Adlabs, via Baker's Basket (to pick up a delicious blackforest cake of course.. Yummm!) and met Yogita there. After contemplating on which movie to watch, we realised no movie showing was worth shelling out any cash on even tho I was enthusiastic enuff to watch any movie. So we just got that pencil sketch ish photograph/portrait thing done after we saw that machine there, which pretty much adorns all malls off late. We went in and saw a Sunsilk hair make over thing there. Sharmistha got very excited since she had seen the advertisements on TV. Swapna and I volunteered to become guinea pigs. My hair was anyways looking ghatiya, so I thought "Heck! Why not get a free hair wash?" So the both of us trooped in. Well it wasn't really a make over or restyling.. All they did was wash our hair and blow dry it partially. :-( But as long as it was free, no worries, eh?

After a scrumptous meal at Yana's where we also went through the traditional cake cutting ceremony, which also included us smearing the icing on Yogita's face, we decided to spend some time in Yogita's apartment. When we reached there, we realised that the area had no electricity but that could not stop us high spirited gals. We settled down on the mattresses and chatted away. Swapna entertained us with a dance performance while Yogita paraded around in a bunch of new clothes. Boy it was fun and yeah yeah, as guys would call it, totally "Girlie!" But hey, we were a bunch of gals after all and not too often we get to do anything girlie! Anyways, after sometime, we went out for ice creams or rather sundaes (so much for my diet ha ha!) and then parted ways.

I came home at around 7 pm with a huge smile on my face. The entire day had been a huge success and at some level I was actually happy that the guys had been unable to join us due to certain reasons. Sorry if I offended u guys... but sometimes it sure is great to have a Ladies' Day Out!!!
