I WANT OUT! / The Good Witch

1.34 am. Alone at home. Typing on the computer.

Did next to nothing at work today. Am just dying to get out and go on vacation now that I’ve made up my mind I’m quitting. Am supposed to complete the scene breakdown for a script before I leave. Did some of it interspersed with long breaks of blog-hopping! Can’t wait for the week to get over.

We are both totally broke. I’m not sure how that happened cos I didn’t do any big spending this month. I wonder if the maid found my stash of cash. Or maybe it’s because B hasn’t made much this month.

The both of us really need to be more financially responsible. Neither of us ever know where our money is going. It’s party when you have it and eat anda-bread when you don’t.

I’m actually kind of enjoying being broke since I know we will both be getting money on Wednesday so it’s not long-lasting. It’s fun to juggle money and make sure you spend only on essentials. Makes you value the taste of simple food much more.

It’s strange how you will run out of everything, at exactly the same time when you are broke – cat food, coffee, moisturizer, lens solution, sugar, toothpaste – somehow everything finishes exactly when you’re totally broke.

Just came back from seeing ‘Musafir’ with L. Was fun except had to listen to Christian theology in the car. But the gospel music made up for it!

B’s gone to a pub. Still not home. Will probably get back at 5 or something.

Met an interesting woman at the pothead party yesterday.

She is the Renaissance Woman.

She teaches yoga at the Sivananda centre (that’s a serious place not just some neighbourhood class). She is an artist working in mixed media and has regular exhibitions. She is a gold medallist MBA from IIM. She has worked with the World Bank advising the Haitian government on what crops to grow. She has a new tattoo on her lower back based on the Golden Section and gave us a discourse on how it appears in nature, art and architecture; digressing into the Fibonacci series and the Chaos theory as well!

She is in her forties and looks like a kind, good witch. She has lovely warm smiling eyes with crinkled laugh lines at the corners and shortish curly damp-looking hair. And a lovely glow. She dresses very chic, and try as I might I could not find anything pseudo about her.

You can’t even call her a goddess cos she is just so real. And genuinely interested in everyone around her.

I have seen her around at parties but never got talking before. The next time I’m going to corner her and pick her brains, ask her about her philosophy of life.
