Green living....so overrated!

What? I can’t even use those plastic bags to get my daily sabzi home?
I think that we are being policed….by that fascist Green Army! They are infringing on my God given rights!
Even our Rajjobai refuses to go to the mandi with cloth bags! She says that they clash with her stylish salwar outfit! Yesterday I had to go to the mandi for sabzi. I had to make sure that Suparna next door did not catch me bringing home sabzi! Meri toh naak hi cut jaati! Using cloth bags for grocery is so down-market, so old Delhi!

I think I will have to get that hip new canvas shopping bag I found people carrying in England. (Yes, we do take a yearly vacation to England or US of A every year. Summers are so bad and sweaty in Delhi. Kittu hates to be in India in summer you know!) I will not make Rajjobai carry regular cloth bags for sabzi. She will carry those new canvas bags that says “I am green”. So recherche of me!

thanks. :) I just have not had time to post more. It does use up lot of brain cells to come up with a post. It is not effortless for me. So I have to be careful and not kill off too many brain cells.

I wish my bedroom looked like that!
