The Handbag Girl

Handbags. Handbags. Handbags. Red, blue, green, violet, indigo, orange, yellow, pink, white and black. HiDesign, Lavie, Carprese, Baggit, Ladida, and Tara. Baguette Bag, Bucket Bag, Clutch Bag, Envelope Bag, Fold over Bag, Hobo Bag, and Minaudiere. So many colors, so many brands, so many models, so many varieties, I’ve got them all because only a girl can understand the feeling of holding a new handbag when shopping!

I hated using the same handbag more than ten times. I wanted to sell them at half price. But how could I? What a tenth grade school girl could do?

I asked the same question to my Pappa and his response was Quikr.com. Life became easy! I posted Ads whenever I hated a handbag. Surprisingly, there were many girls loved the ones I sold at a cheaper price. It became a habit. Day by day, I met many wonderful girls, sold them the old handbags, cleared my old stock and happily bought new ones.

As they say, “There is a flipside for each coin.” I experienced it too. There were times when I used to get calls during the school hours, and the outcome was to go out of the class. I hated that feeling. I wished that I could get calls only if I was interested or comfortable to speak with and not at any other time.

Then this incident happened. I was out for a movie with my friends when I received a call from a buyer whom I wanted to report to police. He called me acting as if a gentleman, enquired about the handbag brands I had, ate my head for an hour questioning about the types, when to use what, etc., and finally revealed that he was bored at home, so he called without any intention of buying.

And there was this woman named Samyuktha, who wanted to exchange her ten-year-old handbag with a Minaudiere I posted. I felt irritated and hanged up the call. I cannot blame Quikr.com for these junks, but I wished Quikr.com was smart enough to protect sellers from invalid buyers.

“Oh My God! Did Quikr.com heard our wishes?” I asked myself when I came to know about Quikr NXT! NO FIKAR. CHAT QUIKR. Features like “Number Privacy”, “Chat”, “Photo Sharing” and “Chat History” are like icing on the cake!

Now I can secure my number from stalkers or bored men and invalid buyers. I can chat whenever I am comfortable to chat, not during the school hours or when I am shopping, and I can share numbers with buyers, only if I feel that they are genuine. Life becomes awesome with features like Photo Sharing. It gives me flexibility of sharing photos of my old handbags that the buyers would be interested than the one I post on Ads. Chat History is a blessing! What more I need?

Yay! Quikr.com NO FIKAR! CHAT QUIKR!

Jia, with her earnest brown eyes, was watching outside through a window glass. She was mesmerized to spot a peacock dancing beautifully on the terrace of a distant building. She saw a crowd standing outside under the cafe roof, waiting for the rain to stop and so that they could continue to walk toward their respective destinations. Jia was a sensitive child and mature beyond an eight year old. There were two kinds of people she found standing under the roof. Some of them were silent and calm enjoying the pleasant rains, like her. Whereas, others were despite being strangers were friendly enough to start a conversation for a while. Jia could see them smiling, exchanging numbers. Maybe they ...

‘Love is a two way street: Love your hair and it loves you back''

The beauty of hairs Attracts and capture the attention of every stare, But it is hard to nourish and to give proper care Busy schedule and outings makes them dull and shiny rare, My beauty is evading away... I'm aware! Nothing is with me that can sooth me or do fair justice with my thin hairs Then I recapitulated the famous saying:  ''Love is a two way street: Love your hair and it loves you back'' Searching all around I found the trustworthy Dove, I pampered my hairs and said, don’t worry now it's Dove for you to love, And the day I started this beautiful journey of Dove's Love, I found a brand new day waiting for me to see my true colors of pulchritude  Embraced me within its charm and defined me with a unique personality! Restoring the softness It nourished my dry hairs, Now my hairs fall very rare, They can feel the fresh air, Dove lengthen my hairs  With eternal shine and strength  Though I don't have much time for my hairs But hav...
