- Sat beside the director of Ecole d'art in his car,alone with him (lift). Would NEVER do that again ! ( je me retrouvais seule avec lui dans sa voiture)...

- Modelling / posed for children' drawing classes in saree n suits . Their paintings were original,magnifique,they took my heart away.(age 4 to 10 yrs)They never drew and painted 'an indian princess' before( thats what they called me ,seriously ).

Everyone passes by this state of mind, when one feels lonely, needs to be assured and told that is loved...
and then I was listening to songs, and came this one : yeh safar bahut hai kathin magar, na udaas ho mere humsafar ! film 1942 love story.
Cheers !

Masala

I bought a masala in Indian street : gare du Nord, ( south indian quarter)
it said coriander...means Dhaniya in hindi? ? I used it for cooking ,dal ,aloo sabzi etc. Beleive me ,it gave a bitter taste ! Sorry to say, but since then I am afraid to buy any local masala packet from this Market....i think they are meant for Dosa curry ! I dont know how to use this spice ?
MDH masale zindabad, save my life !

Indian uncle jees: Namasté

Why , I dont know !
Each time it happens§ with me here..
This time I was with my cousin bro, showing him around Paris.
There at Arc de Triomphe( resembles Indian Gate), saw many indian tourists.
They heard that i was telling my bro about the timings of monuments and planning day !
One Uncle ji asked : Hello, U know what time shops /shopping close here...
I told them, 6 ya 7 baje tak !!HE was with another Uncle ji.
They both got interested in me , looking over me from the height of 6 +feet..
Then they started shooting. My bro sat aside ,enjoying fresh air under the sun .
Uncle jis asked, so since how many yrs u r here, what do u do here. When i said, Fine arts. Laughingly he said " oh ya ya Of course, That explains why u r here " .
Where u r from ? Delhi,Uncle ji.. Ohh I have been to Delhi many times.
Where r u from Uncle ji : Bombay. ohh ! i see .
D o u know some good indian Restaurants here in Paris.......
I know one here, other here...etc...gave addresses ! (i shud become agent)!
Then He asked ,where in Delhi ?? Avoiding telling, I said : NORTH WEST.
HE guessed right man : rohini.
THEN was the LIMIT. I called back my cousin, saying : come ,we have to go now !!
Then I fought with my bro, having left me alone with Uncle jees.. HE said : I understood when they started asking Qs..that they would not need me at all, but needed you.
(May be I should not continue to answer them...i learnt).And brother's duty to save his sis, acc to Indian traditions ??

Who am I ...

This blog of mine will answer all my questions..like why should i write this bolg, when where ,and how for whom !!!

One thing is there, it is going to be in all the languages that I speak , so pardon me ,if there are few codes !!

Oui, English to French !!

when i was working in Louvre Museum, everyday i left behind me thousands of visitors...
Hearing how well fluent i was in english, a french speaking man, asked me 'vous parlez francais ?' : do u speak french ? In his own country,in the reputed rich french museum the poor guy had to ask that to a employee...to seek help in buying his ticket. i was surprised, so i asked him " who ? me ? yes of course !!"
this is nothing. once i was helping a french guy out with his ticket thing (this time in french ofcourse), and someone called me from behind," excuse me.." actively i replied 'yes?' the same FAQss..!!
Having satisfied this visitor ,then when i came back to this french speaking guy in front of me, i continued with him in ..guess what? !! in english forgetting we were talking in french..
"ya, so Please insert 10, 20 or 5 euros..try these !". man said "yes, i am "..then with a pause of few minutes he asked me " mais pourquoi vous me parlez en anglais ?" ( but why the hell was I talking to him in english suddenly)
ohhh!! Not even aware this silly girl continues..."did i speak english with u ?" Man replied " Oui, vous avez dit ...please try these euros for..." !! Oh i apologized !!I was about to explose in a big laughter, but i controlled. I said "oh je suis désolée , mais ca arrive ". Working all the day with much more of my english brought me to this situation. Actually I was very happy ,after such a long time I was gettig to speak english freely and with Britishers, americans, australians and....Indians !

When we are kids

when v r 12 , its so easy to write a paragraph of 12 lines to describe my 'best friend' or 'what i wanna be when i grow up'.
How easy it was then, now at the age of 25 ,if i ask you to write those empty pages which keep increasing day be day, and keep getting complicated, its too difficult.
