6:00 am:
Rise and shine after a few snooze hits! First mission: check the work calendar and messages like a spy scanning classified intel. CNN or BBC blares in the background because nothing says “good morning” like global chaos while you sip coffee and wonder why you didn’t become a Bollywood dancer instead.
7:30 am:
Begin the heroic pilgrimage to the corporate office to meet with the leadership team. It’s over an hour of traffic trauma, but Bollywood music turns the commute into a full-blown concert. There might be some sights of me lip-syncing dramatically at a red light caught on some hidden cameras.
9:00 am - 11:00 am:
Leadership meeting time! Lots of hugs because relationships are strong and real! I stride in like a legal rockstar ready to drop knowledge bombs. Today’s topic? Protecting buyers and sellers from fake landowners. Riveting stuff.
11:00 am - 12:30 pm:
Lunch break with homemade leftovers (Indian curry of course!)! Recharge with food and a motivational podcast because Jay Shetty and Mel Robbins are the only ones that truly understand your soul. Bonus points for a courtyard walk to feel you’re living your best zen life.
12:30 pm - 1:00 pm:
Zoom call with outside counsel about a new lawsuit. Me strategizing like a chess master while secretly wondering if I can mute myself and eat a cookie without anyone noticing. Initiate internal reporting like a good corporate citizen showing value add.
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm – chaos hour!
Urgent calls and surprise tasks crash your to-do list like uninvited guests at an Indian wedding. Handle them all with grace (thanks to Shetty and Robbins coaching me on “calmness”) … and maybe a little caffeine-fueled panic as you see the day ticking away.
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Embark on the epic quest home, armed with Bluetooth and sheer willpower, heroically slaying leftover work calls like a corporate gladiator stuck in rush-hour traffic. The plot twist? A call about a tree falling on a home visitor … because apparently, gravity is now a legal issue.
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Gym time! I walk the treadmill like I’m at the park while husband lifts weights like he’s preparing for the next Marvel movie.
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Chef mode activated. Dinner is served! (Translation: cooked something edible and didn’t burn the kitchen down. Victory!)
8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
TV Time. Currently bingeing, “The Morning Show,” because nothing says relaxation like watching fictional workplace drama after surviving real workplace theater.
9:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Motivational streaming session with some Bollywood dance videos mixed because why sleep when you can listen to someone tell you how to live your best life and live it in your head as The Next Bollywood Superstar!
10:00 pm - bedtime
Collapse as soon as head hits the pillow and phone battery hits 1 percent. Tomorrow, we do it all again and love it!
