Real funny !! You could very well have named this post as "Idiot's Guide to Chaperoning a Female shopper". Bet, reams studied on consumer psychology and behaviour, don't really prepare you for this kinda experience. It really worthwhile to leave female shoppers hunting in pairs. Have you taken your driving licence, yet? That surely would be another story worthy of a blog posting in itself...

I can instantly identify with you man.
To come out of this situation unscathed, the requirements are a lot of patience & not speaking your mind. The trick I guess lies in saying whatever she wants you to say & saying it convincingly. Thats tough, but it never was easy, was it?

Kaps left ur blog add on my comment. I had come across ur Why southirs don't get.. post on some other blog and had posted a part and a link to the same when kaps said u were the original writer..sorry for the plagiarism though.. it was just a small part.. By the way your blog is very intersting.. had gone through some intersting archives too.. I am actualy looking for a house.. me a bachelor, Hard core non-veg, quit drinking for a while types, want to stay alone types, a girl guest sometime.. any chance?what say? Its long but can't help adding, and experince speaks, the surest way to a women's heart is the aisle of a shopping mall.

Ahem! Do you have any idea on how hard it is to shop with men? For instance, for office wear - do you guys even TRY any other colour than blue?
It's uhm.. light blue, skyish blue, pale blue, and oh well.. light blue! And trousers - too tight around here, too baggy, I like pleats, I don't like pleats, this cloth is too thick, are you sure my behind looks nice, are you crazy - nobody other than trump would wear a pink tie!! Phew!!! :)

ur posts are hilarious.. Was in splits reading them... Had received a few posts in forwards from few loyal fans of urs.. However, today was the only day i am not so loaded wth wk, so read all ur posts rite from day 1 at 1 stretch 2day... :D I do rmmbr forwarding few posts to fellow Mallus and got 'Been there, done that' replies from all.. Especially the 'Travails of Single South Indian men' and 'Phyrds Uykl 33'.... Must say.. u do possess an amazing flair for writing and I think u made the right decision to freelance... good going...
