Encounter with a Real , Live BG!

The writing of this book and thinking about Mira’s dilemma had attuned me to the Bitch Goddess out there . I want to share one such story with you.

This was at the security check queue at the airport. We were in queue to place out cabin bags for screening before going through security gate- you know, where they freely frisk you-yeah that one. Anyway- the queue was long and  tempers short . Everybody seemed to have lap tops that needed to be removed from their  cases, handbags and a shoulder bag and all were eager but waiting for their turn. It didn’t help that the queue was getting longer.

I had inched up to the fifth or the sixth place and had glimpsed the baggage screening machine, a sight by then almost as dear as paradise. And as we waited there for our turn, there strode up, oh-so casually, one madam who by –passed the queue and nonchalantly placed her bag on the machine and went in to the security check line.
I saw red. “Excuse me, there is a queue here .” I said.

She turned and said, “So what? If you want , you put your bag here too.”

And walked off. I wanted to fling her bag off the machine and yell. Now. Then of course, I was just fuming and could think of nothing to do or even say.

Needless to say, she got away with her obnoxious behaviour. As you can see, there are lots of inspiration and role models for this book.

Bitch Goddess goes shopping

It was Diwali and shopping was replacing religion. I was a convert too. And in my multiple pilgrimages to the various malls and shopping centres, I found a Bitch Goddess wardrobe.

I am still looking for the perfect earrings! Any of you have one? Do post pictures and ideas.
