Because I can't eat food, I will eat your brain!

yes, If I can't eat food, I will eat your brain.
It's only 10:42 a.m and I am already feeling woozy.
Besides lazying around and updating my status on facebook (for about hundred thousand times), I have done nothing today. I am so verily hungerstruck.
Its Karvachauth.

Funny how my last post was when I had nothing to do in life. And now this one, again, when I am jobless and breaking mufft ki rotis. As far as I can remember, I have always loved doing nothing. And these days, I am fighting the most dreaded fear of going back to a 9 to 5.

How do people find out what they are good at and what should they do for a living so that they love their job as much as I love doing nothing???? I think I should at least try doing something of my own.

I have always wanted to do something dreamy - like own a chai ki dukan.

A tiny tea shop.

There are so many varieties of teas. I bet there is one for everyone! And so sasta too. I should buy a book on world teas and read up a little before I do this.

But the more I think about it, the better it sounds.

It would be the most special tiny tea shop ever!

I would keep books I love, and sell little jewelery – I think everyone who drinks tea should wear rings or earrings...or just generally accessorize. So, I would sell accessories and bags and books and may be even agarbatis....and do up the place with thousands of lamps and mirrors - full of color and glitter!

May be I should also learn some palmistry, then I can become a fortune teller at the tea shop, and then it would definitely not be like a regular 9 to 5 but much much more fun – even funner than doing nothing.

The best part – I will bring everything from India. That way, I will have to go back home every six months to get fresh stock.

And...most importantly (the secret to its success), I will make the seating so its easier to listen in on conversations - chai is like sharaab when you have it with a little bit of story :)

That's going to be my little chai ki dukaan - makes me feel so fuzzy and dreamy.

I think its time for a nap.


I am gaining so much weight its horrifying! I really need to work out or do something about it. I wonder how good are those fat-cutting pills. I am glued to the t.v every time the ads on. Anyway,so there - I have eaten your brain. Now I am going for a bath and deckking up for karva chauth.

Just tooo funny when the women sing the 'Lay veero kuriye kar vada..' in the worlds most out of tune chorus....oh and the Karva chauth katha...veero behen di katha – is mind blowing :)

That's my possible alternative career choice too. Coffee shop or book store. Maybe I'll even do radio shows at my book store.

Oh. life.
