Last night I am cooking a quick meal. Rajma chawal is the leftover from y'day. Hubby is asleep.I decide to spruce up things a bit- i meant menu wise. I keep these delicious looking fries in the oven for baking.
"Lets eat maggi meanwhile.i can keep an eye on the oven.."
Maggi gets cooked. Maggi is consumed standing up on the kitchen shelf with one eye on the oven.
There is this awesoe documentary about chinese clothes shops...do they make GAP there too? Lemme watch this.
Hubby is still asleep..
Programme is good...they say that in the time we watched the documentary 20 children in china made 35 pair of jeans and got paid 95 cents for them. Moral Dilemma- to buy or not to buy Made in China ? Grey cells go off...
Hubby wakes up to strange smells...
"is all well? This place looks as if there is smoke in it...
Hey nothing, you are just sleepy..go off...do you need any food ? No? Good, sleep off.."
So if I buy those jeans, I am supporting the greedy factory manager and giving all profits to him ...if i dont buy..I wonder where will the Chinese girl get her next meal from?...
This place is kind of smoky...something is burning...is it..oh..can it be those fries......
FRIES...my beautiful lovely perfectly shaped fries are now pieces of black charcoal.
I think she has passed on her jinx to me.

May Cold Winds, Ironman et al
I sometimes wonder if I have repeated the titles.So I write about what I am going to write about in the title.I also observed that I types as fast as I speak and since I don't know typing it really creates a lot of typos when i type fast - and If i dont, I lose track of what I was thinking...See that typo came, slowed me down and now i forgot where I was...
The title helps...
Can you imagine being cold in May- May the month of heat, starting of summer holidays, ACs back home...we are in May and the heating is on...it was raining for hours yday and today when Mr Sun finally found the time to show its face, it came along with Mr Wind going on at 20 mph..dont ask me what it did to me...
Freidns ask how is it here- are you liking it or not- i wish i could sometimes just listen and walk away- like they do when they visit my blog- read and walk away..come on people- feedback is always welcome- bad or good..at least i would know people read the crap i write...
Watched Ironman today..not bad..paltrow did a good job..who is the ugly hero anyways..but if he is an MIT grad, I am certainly not putting him down on the must watch list...which makes me think - are all genuises made of the same DNA- he reminds me of some of the intellectuals I have met in Life...is DNA(by which i mean behaviou, motivations, mannerisms) of all these guys eventually == Flirts, highly egoistics (dont blame them for it though), Driven , Geeky, Weird, Bad at any sorts of Filial Relationships...??
And you thought i would say it was an awesum fun movie ? what with eating a four dollar hot dog?!
More later...too late at nite...
Ciao.

@Public Library
After much ado ....and for the sheer curiosity of it- I finally reached the Minneapolis Public Library. I think what compelled me to do this was the fact that "working from home" really doesn't help if you are holed up inside a 1 BHK and specially not when its supremely messy...
Do not ask me why did I not think of this earlier, but as someone said- Adversity is the harbinger of change- so after hearing one too many digs about how working from home means housework and people giving a small grin when I told them i actually work, to hubby laughing at my measely paycheck..i decided to take my future in my own hands...
Which means....I am now joining the thinking, working, doing population of the United States of America for which you need to step out, get dressed and sit with a laptop amidst people with similar goals.
About if this move helps me get my grey cells working faster than sitting on a sofa with a laptop curled up on my lap struggling to read and type..is still a matter of debate.
I shall keep you posted dear readers.
Till then,
