What should I do?

Hey I am back....

You know lately I have been having this nagging fear... fear of being redundant. I see my son all grown up, doesn't need me as much as he used to. Friends play a more important role in his life. My husband too is busy with his work. The only person I used to have decent conversation was with my cook.  Lately, even she seems bored. The one person I pay to fake interest, too doesn't seem much interested. 

I did discuss this fear with my husband and he was of the opinion that I should get involved with something outside the four walls of my house. He knows how much I detest socializing, mention of kitty parties is enough to flare my temper . So h
e suggested I become a teacher, just the thought of 15-20 kids screaming , running around, pulling each other's hair etc was enough to scare me for life. 

I lay awake all night just wondering what I could do, I have been complimented on being a good writer more than once. So I decided to look for a job of a writer. The jobs most searched were of #contentwriter and #copywriter... sounds simple, so I decided to be one.

I have been lucky so far of being invited for interviews for content and copywriter's posts. It didn't take much to realize that content writing, SEO wasn't my cup of tea. Reminder to myself and everyone with sleep issues : Next time you have difficulty in sleeping try to write something about finance or maybe something more technical... you will sleep like a baby, I guarantee. 

Copywriter looked and sounded more interesting... event, advertising yeh sab mere bai haath ka khel hai.. Imagine even that I successfully managed to screw up. I gave the HR a piece of my mind when they made me wait for 1 and a half hours because the director was busy in some meeting. But still that's no excuse, right? I - the queen of Andheri west-was waiting with her hair straightened and lipstick on (do you even realize how much hard work that is?

Moral of the story : I realized I am unemployable. Now I throw this question in the void... WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

    Go for walks, observe people, watch birds, read books, write everyday, go for a solo trip, keep trying for jobs on job portals or may be you can try going for an internship - search on Internshala.com.

    Hope it helps.

    Writing about finance, investments and capital markets is guaranteed to fry up your brains prematurely —you may take this straight from the horse’s mouth. Offering advice doesn’t cost a dime, and millions will pour in when you ask for one. Perhaps you should undertake a research in a subject of your interest and write a book. :)

FUCK IT!!

Attention: Before you start reading it, I apologize to whosoever finds this word offensive. And if you have a great distaste for this word, I suggest you stop reading it right away because I have used it extensively in my post.  Yesterday, my friends were discussing what we could write on F in the ongoing A- Z blogging challenge. Some group members said something about F-word, and we all joked about it, and the topic ended.  I since childhood have been told, and that too pretty strictly, that we were not supposed to use expletives in the house or outside. Just the usage of stupid, idiot or donkey was enough to get us royally punished. But lately, I have found a great liking for the word FUCK.  Just say the word aloud, and you will realize how liberating the word is. I have given great thought to it. I personally don't find the word the least bit offensive. Most probably, it has a lot to do with the context. I never use the word as an offence or an abuse like Fuck you! Who the Fuck

WONDER AND LAUGH..:)

Questions that made me wonder and laugh..... 1. If the mountains are triangular in shape and the sadhus sit on the tip of the mountain to meditate....wouldn't that be weird and uncomfortable with the tip poking the sadhu in the wrong place. 2.  I always wonder if the people in the background of movie or show scenes are actually talking to one another or just mouthing random things… 3. Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard.... or hairy chest... Isn't he supposed to be a Jungle Man? 4. Stop and wonder?How many of us really did stopped and wondered?? 5. Who was the first person who actually milked the cow and decided to drink that weird looking white thing? Eeeeyyuuu 6. When Cinderella decided to run back to her place at the stroke of midnight...how come everything disappeared but those darn pair of shoes???? 7. How come goofy can stand and talk while Pluto remains on all fours...aren't both of them Dogs? 8.Can blind people see dreams?? 9.  How important do

My dear HUSBAND

Raising a husband can be an exhausting task. Nevertheless, Husbands are amazing creatures. They are generally great guys. I love when small house chores that they do, and like a child, they would come to you pretending to have moved a couple of mountains; that's absolutely adorable.   So, Janhit mein jaari (Issued in the public interest)10 things every husband should know that we know: 1. We know when you are looking at women. So when we ask you if you were, just say yes. "Oh, are you talking about the girl in the white top? No, I wasn't looking at her." this is not the reply we want to hear.  2. We know what you mean when you say, "You always look good, fat or thin." when we ask you if we look fat. Trust me, please lie. We have eyes; we know we look fat, we just don't want to hear it from you - directly or indirectly. 3. We know why you have a bored expression on your face when we cook in compared to when you have your mom's cooked food and act as i
