I am Bradley. As obvious, my friends call me Brad. Not out of love but just out of comfort of pronunciation. Rather everyone calls me Brad for the same reason and I don't mind. Sometimes I myself write just Brad on official documents. There's nothing much exciting about my life except the fact that I am a recent graduate and still got a fancy job in an Investment Banking company.
Today is really a boring day at the office. So I leave office earlier than usual to hang out at a quiet street just besides a very busy shopping street. Around the corner is a coffee shop where all the people come to with their branded bags. I never go here on my own but it's a fine place to go with colleagues for mid-week break. The conversations here are as expected.
"You know what I got? These heavenly shoes from the Shoe-Boo!"
"Gotta pick some bread from Bread Pitt for tomorrow."
"Need some kebabs. Ohh Abra-kebabra!"
You must be thinking what are these shop names, aren't you? Trust me I haven't made them up. Really. Okay, except for first one. Next one see for yourself:
"Ahh too bad. Babe you missed the most awesome sale at Solely Tempted!"
Still don't believe me?"I need to go to Lord of the Rinse to drop my laundry."
How about now?"I got my highlights done from Curl Up & Dye. You should try it too."
Um-hmm?
"Have you heard of this new place called Lettuce Eat? Let's visit someday."
Hair must be the most discussed topic here. So another one.
"Good haircut for office styles. Hair dot Comb. Impresses the ladies there." Followed by a giggle-chuckle.
One more.
These are enough I believe. Also I can't remember any more punny names.
