My bag is one important part of my daily life. Therefore it
contains a lot of stuff and is always very heavy. Some contents of my bag are
permanent, which I don’t remove. Whereas,
other items find room in my bag according to the place I am heading to.
Right now I opened my bag and the first thing I found is my WALLET.
My sleek black wallet bought from Jaffer Jees, about 4 years ago, with my name
engraved in it. My wallet contains small amount of cash and my debit and credit
cards. I cannot go shopping without my cards because I am not used to carry
huge amounts of cash with me.
The second item I lay my eyes on, in my bag, are my SUNGLASSES.
Even though I don’t use them that often, they are still there. I am just not comfortable
removing them. I remember carrying them on my trip to Saudia also even though I
never used them. Not even once!The third item is a HAND MIRROR. I might have
used it just once or twice in the past 2 years but I still keep it in my bag,
just in case!
The fourth item in my bag is NAPKINS, with the label Arcadian Café. I have a habit of
grabbing all the unused napkins on the table and putting them in my bag. Probably
it was the last place me and my husband had dinner, that’s why the napkins in
my bag. The fifth item in my bag is a small toy/rattle for my little one. I always
keep one in my bag, in case I forget to pick one whenever I am going out with
him. The toy/rattles keep him distracted atleast for a while.
The sixth and
seventh item in my bag is a PEN and a small NOTEPAD. These both are new
contents and have found room in my bag for the past 3-4 months. They are there
just in case. The pen showed its usefulness once about a month ago when I was
standing in a shop in the nearby market and had purchased some electric
equipment and I demanded a payment slip. The shopkeeper could not find a pen
and I was already running late. He was about to rush outside to borrow a pen
from the next shop when I stopped him and handed over my pen. I was atleast
able to save a few minutes this way which seemed a lot as I was running late.
The eighth item in my bag is some CHANGE in Rs. 20 denominations.
I prefer to keep some change in my bag, sometimes I keep Rs. 50 notes or Rs. 10
notes too. The ninth item in my bag is my NEW WALLET, which I bought form
Splash, Madina. Technically it’s a passport holder but I intend to use it as a
secondary wallet for trips when I only carry my wallet and cellphone in my
hand. It is a nice presentable wallet. The tenth item in my bag is MINT STRIPS.
I guess I bought this pack about a year ago and it’s lying there in my bag
still half unused. I rarely use it but still carry it around. Next I find 2
small packs of sugar in my bag, making it the eleventh item. I don’t know from
where it landed in my bag but it is there; probably some coffee takeaway or tea
takeaway. Wow I also have a small pack of TULSI SAPARI in my bag, making it the
twelfth item in my bag. I have no clue when and why I put it in my bag, I don’t
even eat Tulsi.
This sums up my bag contents and it still has room for other
stuff which I put in my bag according to the place I am heading too. And yes
women carry a mini wardrobe( of a different sort) in their bags.
P.S. Listing down the contents of my bag made me realize I know
longer carry a comb in my bag; neither there is any perfume or moisturizer. Also
I don’t have my small make up pouch. Wow!! How the changes in your life even
effect the contents of your handbag!
