The Battle .....

It was a habitual war. A callous battlefield acclimatized with a multitude of completely fortified warriors all ready to shield. With much zest and fortitude I geared up to take my position. The only thought that occurred in my vigorous mind was that I had to win, and win at all costs!

Effusively equipped, I went to the battlefield, persuading my timorous self and filling it with the essential resilience and valor required. Reconstructing the winning techniques in my mind once again, I was determined and looked forward to my triumph.

As soon as I arrived at the gory battleground, I saw that there was a profuse hoard The Battleof people like me, with twinkling eyes, all glimmering with the light of gallantry and boldness while faces sneered at one another. They too, like me, were occupied ammunition and ready for the war to begin. With cold-blooded eyes, we stared at each other….until the war began…..

The scene The Battle changed as soon as the fight began in the swirl of a moment. I was taken aback with the swiftness and alacrity of all the warriors. Like me, they were all experienced too, I realized. It was going to be a remarkable struggle today then…..

All vigilant The Battlewarriors were ready at the precise moment, the war had begun! It was a never before sight. All others sneered and aimed. I looked for my target and finally caught sight of it. I ran as there were wings on my legs and gained momentum with every step. As soon as I reached my prey, someone else caught hold of it. Nooooo……I cried in dismay but my poise and self-assurance did not fortunately, leave me. I took hold of it as soon as I could. The other one pushed and pulled but certainly, I was mightier and much more indomitable.

I knew I had won, and then I felt it in my senses too, just like any other experienced professional….and I also understood that I was on war with an immature. I locked eyes with her and finally saw her strength wavering. Then….she let go…the victim was for me to keep! I victoriously waved it in the air and gave the poor loser a mocking smile, while the warrior looked down embarrassed.

I carefully handed over my victory trophy at the billing corner. “Your bill ma’am!”, a voice announced. I smiled and handed down the note. I knew the battle at the latesThe Battlet and promising branded fashion store was over and I had won. I The Battlecarried home another new embellishing dress and victoriously declared that I had won the fight at the Summer Discount Bonanza, once again!

Would love to know what you think about this latest battlefield story. This, if you realize (I am certain girls will!) is an unwavering fight you need to go through during every shopping spree you have a good shopping mall offering the Summer Discount!.....a gory ordeal or battle, for the first one to lay your hand upon the best clothes being sold at a low rate, eh?

Anindita

Hey Meghna
Thanks for the comment, I replied back on my blog if you want to see??
That post was magical and marvelous how you made it like a war in shopping, fighting over a dress and who gets it first.
Nice. Sweet, and cool pictures!!
Wonderful imagination you have... ;)
Hugs, Nadine

Heart'n'Soul

its season 7 i think!!!

Anonymous

loved it :-)
Read it a second time, to really picture the war at the shop floor :-)

Reia Organa

Imagination unlimited! It was a nice read, Meghna :-)

One suggestion though, if I may - simpler words would give a smoother and lighter impression to the average reader's mind. Our intend is to imprint in the reader's mind, what we have in our mind, right? What if most of our readers have to refer to a dictionary to get the meanings? :-) Simple words and a beautiful narration are the key to the average reader's mind :-)

Keep writing, you have been gifted with a wonderful imagination :-)

Sahefa

You have blog rolled me and i don't know about it...thnx sis:D:D:D

Stephie

Hi Meghna, first of all, great post! Your writing is just beautiful.
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the chapter.
Congratulations!

Meghna

@ Adi- Have to believe it now that you say but frankly....you don
t know what we all go through! LOL!

Sorry about that, I've already been s[rammed once and cannot afford that again...bear with it until I find a substitute!!

Meghna

@ Anindita- Poor me....wished my English teacher thought so!! She thinks I'm a dud like any other you know LOL!....Have to make her read this...English majors...a tribute to me or what?? LOL!

Meghna

@ nadine- I'll check it out soon...Am glad you liked it...and yea...what's with the pictures?? Everyone is impressed LOL!
I guess you's have gone through this :)

Meghna

@ Divi di- Check it out in the reruns....I'm waiting for the movie to release but I guess it got canceled :(

Meghna

@ Tedy- LOL! Glad you liked it that much :)

Meghna

@ Reia- Thanks a lot.....I got your suggestion. If you read my other stories, you will see that I usually use simple and common words and try to stress on the narratives. But this time, I thought I need to refe to the thesaurus to bring that mystic appeal which this story needs.....I guess I got to improve on that again...Thanks a lot :)

Meghna

@ Sahefa- I do it to all deserving ones...there are many others on my list that I need to add...Thanks for the reminder :)

Meghna

@ Stephi- Thanks a lot :)

Tedy Kanjirathinkal

@Meghna: The verification thingy was your shield against spammer robots.

Now with you shield down, in a few days, the spammer bots would rampage your posts with all sort of comments, believe me, which you wouldn't really want to be seen here!

Meghna

@ Tedy- I understand bro.....I'm all armed for the attack....many people said so and I too find it a menace....so I'll be without a shield until I find something better....Kudos! to Meghna the warrior and a thumbs down to the spammer bots LOL!

Heart'n'Soul

Meghna

@ Music- whatever you grasped and if you didn't....please read the story over again and read the last para 3 or 4 times....and if you still don't understand....what's the writer for :D

i absolutely adore your style of writing, your details are so precise. As i read your story aloud i pictures in my mind a battle field very similar to one like the civil war. Finally, when i read the words embellishing dress I instantly connected to the moment. you're story is like no other and it was inspired me to pick up my writing once again. thank you.

Meghna,

Good on you for sticking to your guns.

I say, it's war out there at those discount bonanzas! It's not charity and in no way need you show any form of kindness or sympathy to weaker opponents - if they can't stand the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen.

More seriously though, whilst some degree of competition in the stores can be a little bit of fun, it can run out of control, and a good example of this was the recent incident in a Wal-Mart store on the day after Thanksgiving - where a shop assistant was killed in a stampede.

It's fair enough for shoppers to be competitive at times. Nevertheless, all shoppers have an obligation to ensure that their behavior does put the safety either of others in any form of jeopardy whatsoever.

hehe... When the post commenced I really thought it was a battle of the King Arthur's Knights of the round table, but it turned out, something pretty unexpected. Job well done :)
