"You know the real reason why I love Christan Grey?" said Anushka very thoughtfully ," not because I like bondage. I don't! I can NOT be that submissive, never. BDSM is not for me,. well may be occasionally ! .. but that's not what I was saying.... Yes the reason I love that 50 Shades book is, If I were Ana I would SHOP, SHOP, SHOP! That f*****g guy is so Rich!!"
"You could handle him better indeed!" said Sunayna in an equally serious tone.
These two friends were at Zara,a bar cum restaurant. It was the "Ladies Night out". They always come this day for the free drinks.
" most of the rich guys are either too proud or sadist like Christan Grey." Sunayna took a little sip from her glass of vodka with cranberry juice.
"not all. Adi is pretty rich!"
"His parents are rich,not him! He wants to become a self made man. He doesn't want their money. That's good. but, you know what he told me last night?!  Baby, I may not be able to give you a big diamond for our engagement. Can you believe!!"
"No way!! Have you seen Kim's engagement ring? It's a white rock!! "
"Umm, Adi is not Kane Anu! God, he will never propose!!" cried Sunayna sadly.
"Come on you know he will!! He needs some time!" Anushka tried to console her knowing that how much Sunayna wants to get married soon, it's her ultimate dream.
"Ya, he will, when I'll be like 26! What if I don't look great as a bride then!!"
"Are you crazy! You are 22 only. And people don't look old at 26 Su!! Don't panic" said Anushka, " marriage is an weird affair.Though i love all the wedding functions, dressing up, make up,"
"and wedding shopping!! Oh how much I want to experience that!!" Sunayna took a deep breath, "Currently I'm following a blog called vogue and vittles . There's an awesome wedding diary by the cute blogger! Check it out when you can."
"You know, When I'll get married,I'll wear a gown in one of the occasions, I was thinking lately :) " said Anushka.
"And who will be your MAN dear? Rishi? Koushik? or that photographer you are dating currently?" Sunayna pinched her BFF. Suddenly Anushka's cell phone rang," Yo babe! ..............WHAT!!!...........He PROPOSED!!"
"" Who? to whom?"
"Yes,yes we are on our way!" Anushka put the mobile back to her purse. "Papri called. Anuj have just proposed her!!"
"Whaaat!! With a big one I guess?"
"Let's find out!! Let's Go."

They left Zara and on their way they bought a spa set, a box of sugar free chocolates, the latest Wedding Affair issue, act-two popcorn packets, a packet of tissues , tooth picks and a dvd of Suraj Barjatya's film "Vivah", starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao ( Because Sunayna couldn't stop herself from shopping ) for their dearest friend Papri. Anushka also bought a honeymoon special condom pack, a gift in advance is always special, she thought! 

Chapter 1 : Discovery

Meet our 1st Shopaholic : Sunayna Sen
Occupation : Still a student
Complexion : Mac C4.5
Height : 5'6'' + 3'' Christan Louboutin
Motto : "Shop. And let Shop."

Some say life is too complicated, some say it only becomes complicated when the dress you want to buy is too expensive and your account balance is low. Really really LOW!! Sunayna looked at the forever new dress like a sad little puppy. What if suddenly somehow someone mistakenly submit some cash in her account! Yes that's her ultimate dream, as of now at least! She can not turn away from the dress.  What if she leaves this one and someone else buys it! Someone else will look hot!!
"Do I really need this dress? It's after all from the spring-summer collection! And it's the second week of October , I should buy a sweater or may be a blazer! ... Urrghh only school teachers can give such reasons! And I'm not one! " Sunayna was disgusted, " Why do these stores come up with a spring collection far before winter!!"
She took the dress again, felt its softness. God, how much would Adi love to touch it if I wear it, she thought. I will pair it with my nude sky high heals and with a bright purse and what about the hair, high wavy pony or loose curls, kind of a careless look! A smile was curved on her face when she pictured it all. "Hey , what about power of attraction!? I'm dreaming about the dress and how will i style it, so won't it come to me!! Won;t someone just gift this one to me!!"

"Hello beautiful ladies!" suddenly the man at the counter announced," I'm going to announce the winner of the "lucky high society girl contest"!!"
"OMG!! How did i forget!! I also entered this contest.. God God !! fingers crossed!" She closed her eyes tightly!
" And the winner is Mrs. Sugandha Maitra!! Congrats to her!!"
"What! Can you please come again!?" ups,, she said that loudly enough.
"Sugandha Maitra. Is that you Mam' ?"
What if I just say yes I'm. What will they ask me to prove my identity ! Voter's ID ? the name is a printing mistake ,i may say.. and I didn't have the time to change it!.. Or what if I say I'm a secret agent and that's my fake name, my actual id is this , I'm Sunayna Sen! That sounds pretty convincing !
"Umm"as Sunayna was about to make her way to the counter someone said, "Oi Monuli!! How much tall you have become!!!" All the people in the store looked at Sunayna, even the mannequins !
"Boro Pishi!!" She was shocked to see her old aunt in this shop, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh don't ask! I was in the ground floor buying some kid's garments for your cousins baby boy when they send me this sms.. See .. I cant get it!! "
Sunayna took it, . "Umm , did you enter for the "Lucky high society girl" contest? It's saying that the results will be announced today."
"Aw! May be your cousin did it for me! "
"Well, they have already announced it. Some Mrs Sugandha Maitra have won it!!"
" Really? What will they give!?"
"The prize is a gift voucher worth 5000!!"
" But there is no baby's clothes here! Such a useless store for me! What will I do with that gift voucher!"
"Whaat ??"
Mrs Sugandha smiled and made her way to the counter.
Sunayna left the store few minutes later with a big packet and a big smile. Her boro pishi gave the whole amount to her!
 How weird it is. Sometimes we don't even know the real names of our closest family members! Their names gets hidden by Ma, Mashi,Pishi or Dida, names we give them." Sugandha ! Such a wonderful name!" she thought.Sunayna will never forget this name.
