Working Class

In my 6.5 years of work experience, I have acquired a lot of skills:

1. Smart work: Something which I don’t think I have understood but am hopeful someday I will be an expert in this aspect.

2. Patience / Tolerance: Ability to stay cool, calm and composed in most testing / trying situations. Courtesy - an individual called The Boss.

3. Tact: Ability to be nice to most irritating pests with whom you have no intentions of interacting at work, forget beyond.

4. Stretched Limits: I never knew I could play so much with numbers, Excel sheets, presentations and letters even though I don’t give a damn about what happens to them subsequently.

5. Sacrifice: Have forgone all selfish interests in life like friends, food, movies, hobbies and personal space. There is whole life left to be selfish, right?

I am not a journo. Or an artist. Or a write. Nor a designer.

I am a bored HR Professional.

And yet, I dress like this to work.

Now that I am back from my trip into the boring office routine, I am forever looking for opportunities to dress up and go out. And EAT, of course!! It is quite surprizing that eating out for 10 days in Europe / airplane / airport / various cafes hasn’t tired me out and I am still hungry for more.

Anyway, this time we choose to go to this place called The Village, which is quite near my place. The main reason I wanted to go there was because I missed attending Garba this year (yes, this year too) and Village has Garba! So I, along with my Gujju colleagues go there and have a blast of a time.

And, ok, there was another reason. I wanted to wear these brand new dhoti pants.

I am done with packing for my Europe trip (I leave in 10 days! Yippie!!). I choose smart, pleated short skirts, leggings and boots. I am excited about the trip and have been dreaming about it since ages. Will update ya all, not to worry!

While Europe is all about smart jackets and chequered scarves, I can’t help but feel attracted towards block prints and colourful wooden beads. There is something in mixing western outfits with Indian designs and accessories. It is smart, sexy and feminine.

It is a pleasant, cheery Sunday and am not stepping out today. Hersheys Dark Chocolate bars and ‘Lie To me’ keep me company for today.

The weather is fantastic and makes me want to take a walking tour around the city. The sun burns down on me warmly but not unpleasantly and the winds tease my hair.

I hope this weather stays. Enjoy your Sunday, dearies.
