I. WANT. TO. GO. TO. JAIPUR. LITERATURE. FESTIVAL.
My parents are making me go to a pilgrim place in Gujrat with the whole family (40 very religious 50 year olds and about 5 20-somethings) next week, which is why I can't go to Jaipur the week after that. (Argh! times 1000)
And this year Candace Bushnell (for all you ignorant people who don't know who she is, she is the author of Sex and the City) is going to be there as well! It's research, guys!
And my dad used the worst possible arguments ever for this: 1) Lit fests keep happening. You will get another chance for something like this. 2) When will you ever get a chance to go to a pilgrim specially organised by one of my uncles for the whole family? This after he knows that I am not very religious.
I could only stare open-mouthed at him. So, I won't ever get a chance to go to a pilgrim place in Gujrat with my family but I will somehow get a chance to listen to and interact with a 52-year old American author, who is one of the greatest pioneers of the chick-lit genre in popular culture at a lit fest.
Awesome.
CD! Relax! You will meet her! That's a promise I make to you...we'll somehow manage if not this year...we'll figure a way.....don't worry......!!!!
ReplyDeleteso, if you are going to gujarat next week, why is it that you cannot go to jaipur the week after that?
ReplyDeleteechoes SB. Why is that so?
ReplyDeleteWell, coz I can't take anymore leave from work. Also, dad refuses to fund it and I have not yet earned enough to do it myself. :/
