So couple of days back I bought myself a gift and I was super duper thrilled to say the least. Four reasons made this particular purchase a soulful experience for me:

1. The Gift - I bought myself the iPhone and acquiring a “must-have-gadget” in any electronic geek’s “must-have-before-I-die” list is a good enough reason in itself to call for celebrations.

2. The Buying Process – Took me eight freaking days to win this baby and that too without exceeding my budget on eBay. I paid around $500 with FedEx delivery to NYC.

3. The Money - 100% payment made from my own hard-earned money. And my blog made a good contribution towards it. A proud moment, indeed.

4. The Birthday – The intention was to gift the iPhone to myself on the 6^th and make most of the notion, “who needs love, men & sex when there’s an iPhone”.

After nearly half hour of round-table discussion, the overall consensus was something like this.
