Step into a mall and you have to wait to count the number of shops catering to men while all around you, you see the enticing boutiques housing female stuff. Talk of shopping and we just go crazy( until of course we are restrained by monetary constraints).

| That's quite a collection...but most of the time, I prefer my nails transparent clean !! |
We pay
attention to the minutest detail- which nail colour looks best, which colour
will go with the recent dress we bought, which company’s nail color is safer
for nails, whether the colour adds that extra shine to our nails ……phew! We can
drive men insane if ever they accompany us throughout our shopping spree. But nail
colour is just an example. Including all other female accessories will made
this post all the more boring (and so I’m abstaining from it)
But the
question is- does anybody notice? The fashionable girl sitting next to you
wears a fluorescent pink on her nails. They are a good 2 cm long and you raise
an eyebrow as she scratches her forehead gently with her forefinger, making a
dry sound. She clasps the fingers of both her hands in a slow move and the guy
sitting behind wonders how she might have been eating her food with her nails
that long (if at all she doesn’t use a spoon). He stretches his shabby face into
a disgusting smile when he asks her to feature in a horror TV seriel where, he
says, her fingers were enough to make people palpitate.
But we don’t
care. Do we? I mean, most of the girls don’t! Back at school, we had to get our
nails neatly cut and any colour on it( even Mehendi) would land us in danger. Once out of school, we
try all things possible, all colours available. Come on, we are meant to be
like this, most of us are. And we don’t give a damn whether anyone notices the
intricate design on our hair clip, the colour of our lip gloss, the height of
our stilettos, the extra pair of ear rings we have put and ………. Because we love
giving attention to details and decorate ourselves, no matter others notice or
not. After all, getting dressed up and looking beautiful can be fun. And nothing is as
satisfying and enthralling as going through the process of decking ourselves
up. Don’t agree? Give a second thought ... :)

Hmmmm yeah we always wonder, don't you ever get tired of getting up early, spending hours in the bathroom and then another couple of hours in front of the mirror? We boys like spending the first two hours on bed yawning and dreaming and then the last fifteen minutes just for looking cool, bath and then shuffle your hair and done :D
@Naresh... that's what's different with boys, you see... we can actually end up doing all the things you mentioned in just a few minutes(there's some kind of expertise;)).. a girl interested in make-up can do so in as brief a time as 5 minutes.. i am saying this from experience- not mine, but I have seen girls doing all sorts of things with their faces, hair, nails and all and yet getting ready at time...... i myself stay awestruck when i see them doing so within so short a time......... Boys don't worry much about details, I guess..often, running the fingers through the hair works well for many.... :)
I agree to you - We women love getting dressed and looking good for ourselves - we hardly care what others think about it.... I loved it so I wore it is the attitude most of us carry :)
Nice post!
I know the feeling. We love details. Every bit of everything! And seriously, we don't really care for who notices and who doesn't! If we like what we do and if it makes us comfortable, the happy feeling we derive is our own personal satisfying thing. We don't really need anyone else to tell us, right? :)
@Me..glad you liked it ... :) In fact, that should be the attitude :)
@Ashna.. yeah,right..:) at the end of the day, it's our own satisfaction that matters( if anyone notices, it is welcome though ;))..we should indulge in the things we love doing...
glad you liked the post.. :)
