I swagger out of the shop as if I have conquered it all. I have broken all myths related to “it is the shopkeeper who always wins”. Just when I am elated to the highest degree imaginable, the “little me” inside, good or the evil one I cant educe, starts speaking telling me that the shopkeeper is actually laughing his heart out. He is laughing thinking what a douche I was for falling into his well laden trap and buying something which could have been bought at a much lesser price. And suddenly, I drop of the ground from the highest elation point with a thud. Ouch would not be an appropriate sound in this case. More like yaaaaaaaouch would justify it. Ha Ha. Does it only happen to me or everyone else as well? And does it also happen in Bangladesh only? Sometimes we lessen the price by one third and still we manage to pull it off. How much was their profit margin then, me keep wondering!

Faced such a dilemma while buying football today at Maulana Vashani Stadium Market. Footballs which were pricey in the summer we selling at half price. I got a beautiful looking football and was ecstatic only to find out later on while visiting other shops, that I could have gotten it for a little bit lesser price. Well, you can judge my sentiment at that moment. But the football boots were bought at a bargain. Good looking, durable and at a good price. They were more than double if this was summer time. Now the price of badminton rackets is really high and all the shops more of less stock piled badminton related stuff. This leads me to thinking, particularly in Bangladesh, we can get great deals in off season. Any sort of shopping, whether its clothes, sportswear, electronics and even car, should be done when people do not want those things. It is same like the stock market in Bangladesh. When people have had suffered enough loss and the market is really dull, that is the time you should buy shares. We Bangladeshis are like herd of cattle. One following another blindly. Anyway, here are the photos of Adidas Predator Lethal Zone and Adidas F 50 boots bought for my younger brother. It is all about making your close ones happy isn’t it?

Went to present news in the afternoon. A lady make up artist doing your make up is not the most ideal way but sometimes you have to deal with it. In my blog, I have been dealing with reality and trying to bring truth into perspective. I have no problem a female putting my make up on, but problem arises in the process of putting it on. When she is doing my eyebrows or puffing my cheeks for example, which way do I look? At this point a wry smile is appearing at the corner of your lips I believe. Ok, so which way do I look? Do I look straight? Cuz that would give a wrong signal to the lady. Do I look upward or sideways? In that case, the lady might think I am trying to be the “goody two shoes guy”. Now YOU have definitely started laughing. Yes, dear reader, this line was for you. Ha ha. Such unpleasant situations no? Well in this case I let my judgement get the better of me. I keep my eyes closed, and only reopen when she asks me to. In this way I can say, “hey I opened my eyes cuz you said so”. Ha ha. Keeping jokes apart, news went great. Usually we do read scripts for a long time before hand but when your confidence level is this high, all you need is just ten minutes to see whats on. After news came home and went to badminton practice. Had a great one on one game with Wameq bhai, English news presenter of Boishakhi TV. I figured playing singles I would burn more fat than doubles. Came home and started my onion therapy. Oh did I not tell you about my onion therapy? Oh how could I forget. Must have slipped my mind. Anyway, thanks to the zillion of things I applied on my hair in my teenage years,I have receding hairline starting from two sides. My forehead has got wrinkles which are quite visible from miles away and there are wrinkles at the corner of my eyes, visibly making me look older than I actually was. Not that I am very young now. So one of them suggested me this “onion juice” therapy for lost hair. Apply to scalp and keep it on for approximately for two hours and hair might grow back. I have used the word “might” because, if the root of the hair is lost or damaged, then there is no way hair will regrow no matter how much fortune we spend after it. Whether it is working or not I can update you in about two weeks time. Not that you care. The only person who would care about my hair at this moment, is my future wife. Oh only if she knew how much time and patience I am spending to reinvigorate my handsome body for her. Ha ha ha. Till tomorrow, sleep well.

Goodnight!!!
