I HATE SUCH MOMENTS IN LIFE

Okay. My life had been quite dull and uneventful in the past few days. Classes, Exams, Assignments same basic routine every day. In short my life right now is ‘boring’ or what we all call it ‘vai’ at its peak. And you all know that sometimes at times like these, some really amazing things do happen. And last Tuesday, my life finally decided to use some pixie dust and make my day a little magical. Okay, I’m probably over exaggerating this a little too much. But hey, it’s worth it if you know how to appreciate Art.

Before beginning with the story, if at all you are thinking that being an Art fan is not cool simply back off. *Ha... I should probably see your face right now* No offense. But appreciating Art is a good thing and I’m a proud Art fan. To tell you the truth, I was once amongst the people who find Art confusing and boring. Nevertheless, I had this bud of mine who is an epic Art fan. And thanks to him that now I know how to appreciate the true beauty of Art. Not that I’m like those people who go to galleries critiquing the painting and trying to find the true depth of the colors and what so ever. I simply enjoy what I see. If it’s the colors, design, shapes; then be it.

So last Tuesday, I went to Chandelier book shop in Maafannu with a couple of my classmates. We were working on a poster for English class due Thursday. So we were there, buying everything we needed from Mount boards, sketch pens, Glitter glue etc. Aside from choosing a Marker that would be visible on black chart paper, we had everything under our radar. And as we stood there, being the hefty teenagers we are you would suppose that we wouldn’t be civil enough to keep our voices low. You are right! We were kinda talking a little bit louder than we normally do. And out of the blue, a person *see, I’m being polite ppl!* tells us to use correcting fluid and then use a highlighter on the upper layer. At first we didn’t care much and none of us even believed that it would work. You see! We don’t work much with sketch pens or colors. And specifically I don’t even remember even trying to use colors and stuff after 7^th grade. And I don’t normally go around listening to sales girls/guys since they can be quite manipulative.

So not even double looking at the person we again got engaged in our little chat. Aren’t we douche bags? I know, I know >.< Then I just went to check out the note books there for like two seconds and when I returned. Bamm! You wouldn’t believe who we allegedly declared a sales guy turned out to be. It was ‘Kurahaa Rappe’. You must have heard of him. I mentioned about my bud earlier right? He is like a massive fan of Rappe and I too am sorta, kinda fan. And now you could imagine how I might have felt right then. Yes. Total airhead. Had I even looked at him once, I would have known who it was. Gahh!!

And then, my day was ruined. And my classmates kept laughing at me because I was sulking all the way back home. But one good thing that happened in the middle of all these is that he told us to call him if at all we needed any help. And since us being us, we were completely freaked out on how to execute the idea that we had in mind. So we decided to ring him up. True to his words; we indeed got help from him.

This is the end result of our poster :)

 The whole thing ended with one lesson learned. Never ignore anyone who gives you a suggestion. You never know, you might even end up meeting the least person you expect curled up in a tiny, teeny shop like this ;)
