The broken guitar

:-( Broke my guitar... bro's guitar to be precise....:-( sigh... he's a follower on my blog and I know for sure he does not follow me that closely.... :-( Well, just 2 weeks I had gone to the guitar dealer, got the strings changed, cleaned it up, got new plectrums... and now its broken from the neck.... and as always, its not my fault... some random 8 year old just tripped on it and it fell .... and since the wood was old, it twisted... and when i pulled a few strings, it broke :-(

Hence, after mourning over the week, I am going to get a new guitar over the weekend....:-) hehehe...

Online Shopping

Its all very convenient and comfortable and easy - Online shopping.... but its highly addictive.... You dont even realize and you've already hoarded a lot of things which you dont need...

Hence, as a measure of precaution and as well as a self control exercise, I un-registered myself from all the online shopping websites especially the ones offering a combination of deals and lot of discounts:

 

www.snapdeal.com

www.mydeal.com

www.99labels.com

www.fashionandyou.com

www.secretsales.com

www.homeshop18.com

 

etc etc etc...

 

Well, my inbox is relatively free of clutter and ads enticing me to buy something or the other....

And I am a much more peaceful person.... :-)

MAYBE!!!
