I am here to solve.. umm.. stuff?
I was reading some random article (as usual) between breaks at work. Came across this question 'so why are you here for?' in one of them. How can "I" of all the people avoid such an existential riddle.
So I was thinking. What makes me feel alive? Hmm.
Solving problems does give me kicks. Real. And it really motivates me. Makes me want to jump with joy. Sink in despair. Cause a lot of chaos. But it does make me feel good in general.
Of course you will ask, then why aren't you Einstein or some such person? To that my retort is - 'I am just 27 you mean person. What do you know!' Hmmpf. The comparisons! I will just be a skinny problem solver girl ok?
And at least I did not say world peace or Mother Teresa. ok?
So anyway having found something worthwhile as an answer for myself and ridiculed myself at the same time, I am feeling pretty awesome!
Also if you read this and knowingly throw more tricky problems towards me, I will literally behave as if you don't exist. Fair no?
Also I am here to experience stuff. Even silly things like watching my bus go past me in the morning and then running after it in slow realization. Serious. Today I experienced this - the silk route and was a wanderer with the photographer. I like such evocative stuff. Makes my quest to experience and feel so much easier.
Another thing which totally gives me a high, super womanish feel is cooking. Here you can take as many tests you want and throw whatever you want toward me. I will be a super fast, duper cool ninja and turn it into something one can eat. one = any animal.
Don't believe it? Take this for demo - Had a lot of leftover veggies like half zucchini, handful cherry tomatoes, half cucumber, a kairi (raw mango) slice, bunch of spring onions, some spinach leaves, coconut. And for a lack of any other combination of all-these-together possible, I made a stew and just added to the sambar (south Indian style lentils). Very healthy goat-like I felt.

On a day like today, I feel like I am here to do so much. Great illusions such days are :)
