Material Girl

Ok the title sounds MOKKE!! But what I am trying to convey is that I am in love with the city. Any city. Cities in general. With malls and theatres and clean public toilets and fruits and veggies sold in packets. I know, I know India is an agricultural country(yeah right!!!) and most of the country is in its villages, but that is not me.

I was watching this show about Glamping. What is Glamping you ask? Glamarous Camping. For about 200 odd dollars per night you can live in the woods but feel like you are living in a 4 star hotel. With antique mirrors, monogrammed sheets so on so forth. Now that was taking things a bit too much. I wouldnt mind a bed and maybe some mosquito repellent and a clean bathroom. Then the woods wouldnt be such a bad bet for me atleast.

I dont need glamping. I can live in a town for a maximum of 5 days. After which the lack of cable will frustrate me, the lack of theatres will distress me further and the lack of cell phone network will just drive me up the wall and I will want to go home. Normally on hiking trips after 30 min into the trip I will be irritating my husband beyond words. I am sometimes surprised why he doesnt leave me there and drive back home!!!

I am quite sure that is something that isnt exclusive to me. Yes, I did my research on it.(what some people do when they have time on their hands!!!)If you look at the five things I cant live without column on Orkut. Here is how the list goes for most people esp those in the 15-18 group(first of all these arent allowed on orkut but whatever!!) here was the list.. Cellphone,Music,Internet,Laptop and then comes frnds and families. Family isnt a thing but ok.. What is the youth of today coming to? We are sooo caught up with wants that they are slowly becoming needs.
