Saree state of affairs – NOT!

Took my wife out for saree shopping today. I know. I know. Well-worn cliches come to mind. So i’ll not give them too much ink..um..type.

A guy’s saree shopping philosophy is generally

“Enter, pick, buy, all in 10 minutes or less”

while a girl’s method is

While (anyShopsLeftInCity() )
{
GuysMethodInSlowMotion();
}

But since I am a good, understanding husband and all, I vowed to keep quiet and not make subtle hints about the upcoming ice age or remark about how the shop walls were geologically changing from igneous to sedimentary rocks. T

he first “Hmm..looks nice” saree arrived about 10 minutes after we stepped in. Pleasant surprise. I sagely offered my agreement to the choice. The saree was absolutely drop dead, mindblowingly and aesthetically gorgeous, which is obviously a cue for her to say “Do you have more colours in this pattern?”

OK, it all ends well, his wife buys the gorgeous saree; they are done in 20 mintutes.

Of course this begs the question: why do you want to get done in 20 minutes? I don’t go to an art gallary and say “hey, it was so good, I was done in 20 mintues”.

Just kidding.. I am just happy that collectively they found a perfect saree, and thats what is all about.
