I have been doin this part time thing in the evening as an internship/ volunteer work for a small marketing firm run by the Ugoslavian lady I had mentioned in one of my earlier blogs. And its finally about to get over, thank god for that cos doin two jobs was kinda breakin my back. That is also one the reasons why I am bak to my anorexic weight (U appreciate weight loss so much more when u actually work for it lol!!). But I hav had sum awesome times at this place and met sum amazing people....Starting with the women who runs this place, must be like in her mid sixties for sure. Now the things with Yugolavian/ Serbian's is that they spit all over ur face when they talk cos of the accent I am guessin. The first time we spoke I was drenched but then as time passed by I learned to angle my face to avoid the spit rain and and well the other times I didn't mind washin my face every time I spoke to her....lol! Ya I know its soundin gross, well wat do I say it kinda is;-) So anyways this women has a son whose workin India now and she has been tryin to convince me to marry him for some reason cos according to her I am a smart Indian girl who needs man...LOLLLLS! (Ya one more person in the list of people tryin to get me married). She's even shown me a pic of him and said- well now he has become a lil "moti". Ya she knows a lil hindi cos her late husband was an Indian. And she has an amazing story of how she married him which she plans to write a book on sumday, so well I don't want any copyright issues:) Anyways so everytime I'd go to work she'd cook sum Indian dish - Tandoori Chicken or Biryani and get it for me, talk about havin a nice boss AND she even had one of those aren't u lonely here, don't u miss ur family in India conversations with me....super lol!!! She recently got this adorable dog Milliee (the name means darling in serbian). And well lets just say this dog is the reason I have overcome my fear of dogs cos I luv Millu, he's a cutie (ya he'a HE) and he luvs my roties. He'd follow me around everywhere, I wud actaully hav to ask sum1 to hold him when I had to use the loo cos he'd want to follow me there as well. Now that I am leavin the place all I can think is I won't get to play with that cutie pie:( Also this place has interns from different parts of the world and I can't tell u the cultures I have been exposed to workin here....I even went to Couture fashion week baby. Ya don't get too excited, fashion shows and I hav a lil bad history and lets just say the story continued here as well...lol!
Everytime I am gonna think of New York - I am so gonna think of this women cos she epitomizes everything that New York is- a blend of different cultures, small businesses struggling to survive, people accepting those who are new here and everyone dreaming of makin it big one day:)
P.S- Thats a pics of Millie:)
