At the moment...

My first attempt at writing this first post came at 10:30am, which in my mind, is wayy too early to be getting up during winter break. As I was sitting in my room,door closed, typing away on my Toshiba laptop (go figure, do you think I'd buy Dell?), my mom opens the door, making sure I'm ishtudying (insert desi accent) the chemistry. Well there goes that. Now I'm typing this as my mom sleeps in her bedroom, giving me some alone time. My mom is a homemaker, which basically stands code for home-all-the-time = no privacy. She's the type that hates the movie Dostana, because Abhishek and John (yes I'm on a first name basis with them), act gay to keep their apartment or whatever it is. My baap is the type that thinks hugging guys is besharam, so you know where that leaves me in that department. My bhaiya, is el golden child, you guessed it, went to Harvard for his MBA and is now eternally etched into my parents minds as the template for the model child. And you can guess where that leaves me! With this blog of course!

I go back to school on Jan. 3rd, which means, if you ishmart desis haven't figured it out yet, I'm on the quarter system. Ok, I'll stop with the cheap laughs now, I'll move on to the more expensive ones. gasp! I'm from Cali, and no, I don't go to Cal or UCLA. So that only leaves one legit UC. I'll leave you to the thinking. Going back to school, I'm welcomed by Metabolic Biochem, Ochem, Physics, and  Behavorial Psych (yes, I'm surprised my parents consider that a valid subject!), an internship (on the DL of course), and a part time job (again, on the DL), to fund my makeup shakeup addiction.

Now I'd wish someone came up with a shirt that says, "I'm with bevakoof" See...my desi roots came back to me, I went for the cheap laughs, the other kind were much too expensive!


What are your guys' NYE plans? Lots of ishtudying I hope! But for now, I'm back to the kitaabs!
