Eid is coming. Almost a week to go now.

Most of the people in my family are now starting to follow a pre-programmed routine: to spend two or more hours out in the shopping malls.

This reminds me to do my part of the shopping too and today being the Sunday makes it the ideal candidate for an afternoon that is spent away in the malls.

But this is where the problem kicks in, I just can’t seem to make up my mind about what to buy. It has been happening to me for quite some time now. Every time i go to a store, I usually have a fairly decent idea about what i will be buying but as i roam around exploring the possibilities, my mind changes… and i stand there totally mum and eventually return empty handed. The worst case is that I end up buying the thing which i regret buying.

I am sure there is a phenomenon that explains my condition, but i can’t figure out how find it.. perhaps in an economics or psychology book ???

ah I truly wish i could overcome this cowardly habit of mine and to eventually commit the transaction for which i set off from home at the first place.

So, today seems to be the day when i face and battle my inner demons one more time… I surely hope i get back with a smile on my face and a few shopping bags in my hands.
