Alternate profession?

I am piloting my MiG-500 on a busy street in Koramangala. A dame I am not much acquainted with is sitting behind me for the first time. I am trying to strike a conversation. The transcript is as follows:

Me: Hey, what do u do?
She: I am a fashion designer.
Me: Wow, thats cool!
She: (smiles) Hmmm.

(I am praying she doesn't put the same question to me. But 5 seconds later..)
She: What do you do?
Me: (sheepishly) I am into software.
She: (looking elsewhere, in a flat tone) how surprising.
Me: $#@$@#$@#$@#%

I need to change my profession. Or think of putting it in a different way to make it sound interesting.

Questions of life

It's raining outside. Still in office...can't go home.. Have been looking at the skies from the cafetaria window for some time now. Weather Gods not relenting. Too bored to continue reading Baudolino now. Have been pondering over 'life' in general.... Don't want to think about the past but where am I heading to? Have realized there are a lot of things I still need to do in life! Lot of ambitions.. lot of dreams, aspirations... some of them pure fantasies, some realistic... I need to start chasing my dreams I feel.. and soon.. But the question is: where do I start from?? All I need is an inspirational soul and another kind soul who can sponsor all my hankerings! :P
Damn, I think I've spoilt the mood of the post.

The world is not flat enough!

Why am I here? Coz the world is not flat. Coming to think of it, why is the world not flat? And what if it was indeed flat? According to Newtons's theory of relativity and Einstein's laws of gravitation, the Turks captured Constantinople in 1453. And also, Karan Johar thinks he will never get married. What a loser! One intellectual question. How do you silence a dinosaur? Answer: Feed him apple pie. Another One: Why cant dogs dance? Coz they have two left feet! Mitochondria and Endoplasmic Reticulum are the two most gullible morons in the galaxy. Now combining all these hypotheses and also considering Pythagoras' penchant for butter toast, we can safely imagine that one side of the world would be completely unoccupied if the world was flat!
