Lights are turned on in the streets. It is seemingly stars on the land. Everyone is giggling, walking and chilling in the winter season.
It's impossible to stay calm and inside during this festive season. That's why i planned to join the Christmas Market to have a memorable night stroll. These days i am trying out new things and new destinations. I cannot wait for the next year or season. That's the reason of my outgoing behavior.
Though my heart wants someone's company but i prefer to go alone and live alone among these twinkling lights of the streets.
Magic is in the air. The chill air is striking my cheeks triggering me to keep on walking to keep myself cold. This winter season is harsh than previous one. I thought that it would be mild due to climate change but it diverted from my expectations.

In a materialistic way, these gigantic, huge and lavish buildings put thought of becoming rich in my mind. I cannot resist. I always dream of these elite people who walks out of their cars.
Well;
Keep these dreamy things away!
Let me narrate you my visit to Christmas and new year market that is set in Centaurus Mall Islamabad. I got to know about this Christmas winter sale from website.
I came to mall and my eyes light up after seeing decoration in the mall. It was beautifully decorated.
Giggles made their way to my face. I was smiling to see these decorations of Christmas. There were many people who were stopped there to take clicks of this decorated area.
Can i take one gift? Can i pick?
I was questioning my mind. But, it would be really awkward to behave weirdly in middle of all these people who were standing besides me.
Moon and stars landed over the Christmas market. It was giving a full vibrant and stars-full look to this decor.
When i read; Happy New Year
A thought approched my mind.... i have done nothing meaningful in all this year and there is almost no excitement for the coming year.
Everything feels so mundane and raw. I want my childhood excitement back.
Children and kids were more excited. They were jumping freely and enjoying the environment.
There was a live Santa too who was quite busy in taking selfies with kids and other people. He was roaming from one person to another. He is in full demand these days.
I headed to the market side. I found beautifully adorned carpets. From the one side of glass, these were looking attractive but i cannot buy them at this moment. I am waiting for right time to strike.
Are you lover of dry fruits?
It's also season of dry fruits. They are also quite expensive. Let them be there. No need to stir them at the moment. I am here to do window shopping and in case anything touches my heart then i will think about it.
I stepped in "One Dollar Shop" where you can get anything within one dollar. This is crazily good spot to buy something. I found massive crowd in there but my eyes stopped at some antique pieces. I might have bought them but then i thought not to buy anything for just leisure.
I didn't let my feet to stop. I dared myself to explore the full mall. I didn't even take elevator rather i prefered to walk as i wanted to see everything. I was stopping and taking pictures of random things like; jewelery, honey, perfumes, designes and everything.
I don't know "Ego" is some sort of brand outlet or not? But, it is common in human beings. By the way, if it is a brand outlet then it is catchy and good.
Every side, there were people, more specifically... elite people, who were busy in taking advantage of this festive season and buying items.
The area that was beautifully decorated and stunning was ladies area. Ladies section was stunning with vibrant colors and decorations.
Every other brand outlet is using a different and interesting idea to get the attention of buyers. As a buyer, we feel fear of missing out. In all this anxiety, we buy something out of no cause.
You know... i took advantage of this Christmas sale in the Christmas festive market and bought a sleeveless hoodie on 50% off. I will wear it in these wintery days.
In this Christmas season sale, I really forgot to check the time on the watch. When i checked it was 9:13. I even forgot to have dinner.
In the chilling night, A person was sitting besides flowers and waiting for lovers to buy flowers from stall.
I was lost in the lights and decorations in the market. Everything was calling my heart and i couldn't resist my steps to walk towards them.
Still, a major part of market was left unexplored but i was alone and missing my friends to be with me. Though these lights were diverting my attention but it was not enough.
A colorful wheel was wheeling on the air of Christmas. My curiosity was not yet dimished. Groups were enjoying this night with their friends but i had no one who was with me.
In every shop, every side and corner you will find Christmas trees and buy things on 50 or 30 percent off.
A small truck with truck art on which kids can take ride. It is attractive to see such small things.
At last, I entred cultural fair where i found colorful cultural items. I again thought to buy them but i mend my ways by saying ; "There is always a next Time".
See you next 💫
