Does this happen to you often?
You see that cute shiny strange veggie in the supermarket.. you are absolutely clueless what to do with it ..Still buy a pack of it coz it’s simply too cute?
You are in super market and there is something you have never seen before and no idea what it is or what to make with it..still buy it as it is on sale at 80% discount?
Yezz..This always happens with meJ
And see what I got during my last trip to Little India..I have no clue what it is…But isn’t it too cute?
