FOR SALE!!!



Hearts for sale, hearts for sale, buy one and get two free, that’s the deal! Hearts are in plenty and available at throwaway prices. You don’t need to look further, even your neighborhood shop has it. You also have innumerous choices.
Hearts are in diamond, gold, silver, platinum, steel, iron, stone, flesh and blood. You can even opt for the assorted ones, sugar coated candy puffs, dark brown chocolates fudge with hazel nut or walnut, or almond or just a peanut. They are in all shapes and sizes; big and small, flat and round, light and dark, cute and ugly, expensive and inexpensive. It’s not difficult to find them either, you have them in posh malls alongside branded items and ordinary supermarkets amidst ordinary goods.
In other words, it’s the ‘hearts market’ in all its dazzling color and texture, all set to pounce on the consumer irrespective of the ‘Financial Crunch’ and the ‘Pocket Crunch’.
Consumers don’t mind either, in fact they are in a frenzy caught by the shopping fever, trying all the hearts possible in a desperate attempt to replace their ‘old’ unattractive mundane heart with a redder, more palpitating and a more feeling one. Little do they realize that the eyes can be deceptive and that every glittering object is not gold.
