mindless musings











{November 2, 2011}   3

It was one of those I don’t want to do this crap job day and to add to it, the sun was burning. The one thing I learnt from the sales stint is to wrap up my entire face with clothes leaving just the eyes. No it didn’t help me with the sun rash but had its own side effects.
Madam, are you fasting, the sales guy asked
Never having considered fasting as an option in life, I was totally taken aback by this question.
Aah! What, why would I fast?
Madam, it is ramzaan month na.
I was still in the how can anyone ask me if I’m fasting fit and said, so what
Oh are you not a muslim, then …. You don’t wear a bindi, and your name also sounds…..
I don’t know.
Madam, are you from Mumbai
All I could get from his question was his idea that this one who doesn’t wear a bindi, doesn’t follow our “culture” will surely not be a local, she must be one of those Mumbai types
