Bollywood overdose

Friday morning on my way to work: Random thought bubbles. Water skiing course. Buy a new handbag in which I can carry more things that I don't need. Rains. Strawberry sondesh. The sun-glasses I forgot to carry. Guitar lessons. Save money. Buy a lottery, then own a company, be my own boss and sack pesky clients. Car brakes. Jolt!
Work. Eat. Heat.
So I step out for ice cream during lunch, with my cell phone and a 100 rupee note. Delicious yellow butterscotch ice- cream was awaiting me. As I was walking back, contemplating another ice cream, something fell off my hand and fell on to the pavement. When I looked around, guess where I saw it? My 100 rupee note had fallen at the lottery ticket stall just under God's photo frame!
Booiiinngg!!! Boiinnggg!! Boiiinggg!!
How strange that I thought of it in the morning! It was a sign from above! So we had this very filmy situation where I picked up the note and looked up at the lottery seller, hesitated and asked him for a ticket. Here is an excerpt from our conversation.
Jineesha:"How much?"
Lottery-wala:"10 rupees"
Jineesha:"Which one do I buy?"
Lottery-wala:"Take any one"
Jineesha:"What is the difference between them? There is a yellow one, pink one, green one, brown and red one? How do I know which one to take?"
Lottery-wala:"Arre, take any one. Makes no difference".
Jineesha:(the designer in me is thinking) Now, yellow is too jhataakk(bright) but has a lil' tinge of green. The CMYK is not correct. The green one is too dark and the letters in black aren't clearly visible. Pink, I don't like, reminds me of Barbie. Brown-eeeewww! I'd never win with a brown coloured ticket.
Jineesha:"May I have the red one please?"
