New York - 2008 Fall - I landed in JFK - my heart set on buying the perfect red tote!
I started my rounds at the malls... my favorite stores - nothing... and then a week before I was to leave I saw the Talbot fall ad - and there it was like the witch's shiny apple in all it's gorgeous luscious tempting perfection! I lost my heart and we dashed to nearest store - only to be told they were hugely backordered, already!
Crestfallen, dejected, heart broken - all rolled in to one - I implored them to help me out, as I was to leave in 6 days flat, flying all the way back to India! Obviously I struck a chord or stroked their ego or my fairy godmother waved her magic wand! They called up the powers that be and promised to get it to me in 3 days - allowing me to jump the queue!
I traipsed all the way back - a happy child!
To me, whatever we want in life or from her, is pretty much like that red bag! At times, you maybe allowed to jump the queue, but most times you have to wait out!
Whatever the case maybe, don't give up your dream - the unbound joy you feel, when you have it within reach, will be way way way beyond words!
