My name is Charulekha, I am 23 years old and I just quit my job!!! In another life, I had started my career as a copywriter. But I have left that world behind and intend to stay unemployed from here on. A decision that was tough to make, but I have already put down my papers to do all the things that I want to do in this lifetime, without wasting any further time. I am aware that it is a huge risk, but one that I am willing to take nevertheless, for I realize that ‘now’ is the only right time…
Where will I live? What will I do? ‘How’ will I survive?
Questions without answers- they float like little spiders on thin threads, waiting for the first breath of wind to carry them off to far away lands or who knows, maybe even to nearby garbage grounds??? But I have thrown the ordinary out of my life, or at least that is what I am hoping to do in the following months to come. I hope to start something on my own someday, but as of now, I do freelance writing for a livin…
An ordinary uneventful day would see me sleeping, eating, taking long walks on the road, talking to random people across the street, stopping and clicking pictures of trees standing inside vague compounds, pulling a crowd of ‘watchmans’ and other men in the process, cooking, eating, writing, listening to dizzying amounts of music, painting, feeding street mongrels and getting involved with a hundred other things that I had been missin out on…
I stay with four wonderful roomates in Chennai pattinam. One Kannadiga, one Telgu, and two Tamilians. And with this one me belonging to the contagious breed of mallus, our room turns into a mini South India of sorts. We cook, eat, sleep and gossip like normal people do and also have great times doing nothing at all….
Apart from this, there is also a wonderful group of bums and blokes who are my beloved friends, and they give me the much needed love, support and whacks to get me going everyday. At home, i have two lovely parents with whom i entered a peace treaty back in 2004 and i can say with finality that the world is safe now… All in all, life sails about good with the usual ups n downs, and spats n smiles…
And that should cover pretty much all of what you need to know about me, without having reavealed too much..
I should give you all a reason to come back, ya?
