Living The Dream

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I am an apathetic middle manager of Indian descent working in a call center. Ironic...isn't it?
I owe the government 48,000 dollars for a masters degree in the oh, so lucrative world of creative writing...which by the way, the world seems to have no use for.
To top it all off, I'm always one missed paycheck from pushing a shopping cart and drinking Ripple to stay warm.
I was supposed to be the next Arthur Miller. Instead, I find myself slowly turning into Willy Loman...welcome to my world.
I wonder if anyone has actually ever died of shame?
