My Happy Day.
Mom called me out and asked me to get ready as we needed to head out to the city to buy a dress for my little sister for her college day.

I was overjoyed as I love shopping and heaping up unique things, especially in attires.
I was in my jeans and a peplum top soon and set to move out.

We reached Sayyaji rao Road in 30 minutes. I love this place in Mysore for shopping, and nowise get tired no matter if I was to roam in all times.
Finally, we got into one shop which was on an exclusive sale.
I was delighted and gave an affectionate smile to my mom for her approval.She said, "No, you have plenty, and you wear none of them". When my face was in gloom, Papa said go and take whichever you want. Though I was Papa's girl, I never dared to ask him anything in definitive.
But, up to this day he has never failed to know me, and my little wants.

However, the primal priority was to be given to my little sister. We started searching for the gown.  Though there were plenty of attires in that shop, she was attracted to the silk net gown of the opposite shop.
The beautiful lean doll like her was wearing it, and my sister decided she would buy only this. I think that ,seeing that doll, she got a perfect picture of that gown having on her. Everyone liked it. I moved out of that offer shop only when Mom made me certain that we would surely come and check here once.

My mom is an exceptional bargainer. Her few years of work in the clothing field have educated her well about things, and it's working. So no one can deny her price as that will be best quoted. Till this day I think only one or two times her bargain has come to no effect. And the upshot of this bargain was a success story. She steps back to bargain with small vendors, but she knows the worth of the things and never pays more than it.  When my mom asked the gown price, the shopkeeper said 4000. I felt it was a bit high and told mom to ask in 2500 , 4000 is high. She said you would keep quiet. This is not much worth than 1500. What? Are you deep in your thoughts, I asked. I just walked out of the store and stood next to my dad who was waiting outside as he doesn't want to be with my mother when her bargain is going on.
I said, “Papa, Mamma is too much. How can she ask it for 1500, which is of 4000.
It is like trying to check the patience of a saint.  
In no time, mom called me. I went to check it out. She said go and collect 1400 from your dad. He is ready to give it at that price. I was taken aback. Proud of my Mamma. But whenever she asks me to get clued up about these things, I knock back.
To be like her is beyond the...
