But alas, it is probably too late in the game for that.
In today’s news…
I wore a ‘Western-style’ shirt with my gold ‘Aladdin’ pants
to work today.
When I did this several weeks ago, a teenage girl who goes
to school across the street from my office said, “You are looking sweet today,
madam.”
Today, as I was leaving the office, a woman who was probably
in her late 30s (but who seemed middle aged) looked me up and down as if to say, “Girl,
you are dressed like a crazy person….., madam.”
Which is probably about the same sentiment I would get if I
wore this outfit in the States.. which I absolutely intend to do come May. I doubt I’ll be getting the fashion props
from teenagers in America, though.
Side note: I’d call the pants ‘Jasmine’ pants, but that is
completely absurd. There are no pants for
ladies in India that tie below the bellybutton. (Which, among other things, is
how you know Aladdin doesn’t take place
in India...)
Also, this morning the monkeys wanted very badly to join in
on the office work. They climbed in
through the windows once. They were reluctant to leave despite the noises and
hand gestures, but alas they did. The windows were closed after they were
chased out.
Then, much to my delight, they broke in again – and by broke in, I mean quietly
opened the window that had not been properly closed. Again they were loudly shooed away. And the window was properly closed – sigh.
Later we heard the monkeys screeching at each other outside
and loud bangs of people scaring them away.
Silly humans. It’s not like they are pigeons or something. They are monkeys. You should welcome them.
But I guess not everyone feels the same as I do.
