The Whole World’s Mixing…and It’s FUNNY!

Dec1

How many of you love comedy?

I’m a huge fan of going to comedy shows or watching them.  I have Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Eddie Izzard, Dane Cook, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Whoopie Goldberg, Dennis Leary and Robin Williams all on DVD.  I’m sure you’ve heard of most of these guys.  They’ve either gone on to do TV Shows or Movies.

I have Jeff Foxworthy on tape.  Never heard of him?  He of the ‘You Might be a Redneck If…” fame?  Oh man, you’re totally missing out.  This man represented MUCH of my life growing up in a small town in the middle of a small valley in the rural south.  Check him out here….

 

 

But I hadn’t ever heard of any Indian Comedians until I started making friends in the Desi community and they introduced me to Russell Peters.

Never heard of him?  Ohhhhh man do I have a treat for you!  Check him out here…

How to keep an Expat Housewife Sane – Pictures

Nov30

Ever wondered what is required to keep an Expat sane in India?  Especially an Expat Housewife with nothing on her hands but time?

Ever wanted to know what was required as a Spouse of an Expat Housewife in India to keep said Expat Housewife sane and happy and not ready to dance on your head the moment you get home from work?

Well look no further!  These pictures will explain it all!  ;P

Lots and Lots of Movies! © Gori Rajkumari

 

Yes.  I really do have all the Harry Potter Movies.  Yes.  I bought them.  ::sigh::

 

Lots and Lots of Books!! © Gori Rajkumari

 

Yes.  I brought my entire collection of Stephen King and Nero Wolfe books to India.  Yes.  It cost a fortune and more than the books all together were worth.  No.  I do not care.  Yes.  I am making my husband ship them all back.  :P

 

Lots and Lots of Salsa and Chips and Pepperidge Farm Cookies! © Gori Rajkumari

 

No.  I did not share with my husband.  Yes.  He did sneak chips when I wasn’t looking.  No.  He’s still alive.  For the moment….

 

And CHOCOLATE and COFFEE!!! © Gori Rajkumari

 

Yes.  The Chocolate IS the reason why the Husband is still alive.  ;)

 

And Lots of trips to Chili's which I hated in the US and now can't get enough of! © Gori Rajkumari

 

Yes.  They have the Oldtimer Burger there.  No.  It’s made from Lentils, Potato and Other various mashed veggies.

 

Do NOT forget the Mosquito Bat! Hours of fun to be had! © Gori Rajkumari

 

Yes.  That IS a dead mosquito you see in the top right hand corner of the racket.  Yes.  I did enjoy killing him.  VERY MUCH.

 

36" TV? OK. Cricket? YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG! :P © Gori Rajkumari

 

Yes.  The Husband still needs training.  No.  He does not realize that American Football and Baseball are the only acceptable forms of sports entertainment to be watched over long periods of time that do not extend beyond 3 hours.  Yes.  Cricket extends WAY beyond 3 hours.  No.  You may not ‘do him in’.  :P

What Gori Rajkumari’s been UP TO lately….

2011 World Cup Champions INDIA

 

 

Sachin and FAN

 

 

 

What I’ve been UP TO!

Because you know, if I wasn’t posting here….I’m most likely off being ‘naughty’ somewhere, right?

Well, first I think we should all take a moment of silence, clear our throats and then GO CRAZY…screaming over India’s winning the 2011 World Cup Cricket Match!!!  WOO HOO!!  Go India!!!

Secondly, I got a job.  Then a month later, I got another job.  This was two months ago.  Now I have two jobs that were supposed to be part-time work from home and are now turning into something much more.

Both of my jobs are stimulating and appeal to my own inner nature and talents.  Writing.

I love these jobs, they invigorate me and, more importantly, they keep me from going nutters sitting at home with nothing but myself to give me deadlines for work I want to do.  Now someone else is asking me to complete something by their timeline and I have to admit that works 100 times better for me than me setting my own.

I never thought Procrastination was one of my own faults, but once again, India has taught me something new and different about myself!

These two jobs have done very well at keeping me busy and away from my blog, but now that I have gotten used to the work, I’m thankful that I have found a way to also add time for writing on a personal level.

This writing is cathartic and I need it.  I’ve been away from it far too long.

And it only took me like an hour and a half to write all the blogs I just posted!  WOW!  LOL!

Also, I know how much you all have missed the musings of a Gori in India (insert sarcasm here).  :P   <Sharell…Look a COW!>
