1. Bartender – cuz once upon a time I went to “Dublin” for a party and saw a lady (India’s only professional female bartender) manning (wo-manning?) the bar – twas really inspiring
2. Flight Attendant – I love the food they serve in airlines (yea yea the crappy plastic taste – its not too bad hey), I’d love to hear my voice making announcements about cabin pressure and things to do incase of an emergency!
3. Fashion Designer – I really want to showcase clothes on the ramp that real people are wearing – these days people pass off hangers as models!
4. Carpenter – I have watched enough Monster House and While You Were Out to want to do this really bad
5. Radio Jockey – after winning an RJ Hunt in my college fest I am very inspired…plus I think I’d sound great on radio :) *smug*
6. Professional Tennis Player – had always wanted to become this but since my folks never regarded sports as a “suitable career option” I couldn’t pursue this seriously
7. Professional Gymnast – oh how fighting fit and flexible they are *dreams*
8. Coroner – people who are already dead cant possible die again can they? So this job is like totally safe – you can never get fired for killing someone :)
9. Forensic Anthropologist – blame it on “Bones” (the TV series)
10. Detective – I have a totally twisted criminal brain and that would help me delve into the psyche of other criminals and help solve crimes
11. Farmer – how cool it must be to live on a farm, ride horses for pleasure, graze sheep in the meadows, watch little piglets running around in mud...sigh (this is probably my retirement dream)
12. Dog Walker – It’s a new concept in India where people get their domestic helps to walk their dogs but people abroad do this for a living – plus I just love dogs
13. Fortune Cookie Writer – now again the concept of fortune cookies hasn’t really caught on in India but hey if “the guy who reads your fortune…” on Orkut can do it – so can I!
14. Bounty Hunter – again I’ve never heard of an Indian bounty hunter but they do exist abroad (atleast on tv they do) and they’re always men – wouldn’t it be uber cool to become one! You wear sexy clothes, ride awesome bikes, and wield lethal weapons – the works.
15. Jewellery/Shoe Designer – I think I have enough ideas to restock most fashionistas wardrobes.
16. Chocolatier – dunno what a person who makes chocolates is called – I am guessing that’s what its called – I love chocolate and I figured my love would translate into a fruitful venture
17. Artist – the kind that paints not the kind that sings – its just something I enjoy so much I can do it forever and ever
18. Waitress – Inspired once again by Rachel in Friends – I think its quite sexy wearing a tiny black dress with an apron serving wrong orders to people * tee hee hee *
19. Baker – I LOVE THE SMELL OF BREAD – I could live in a bakery if I ever had the chance – the smell of freshly baked bread makes me wana drooooool
20. Toy Maker – Santa has his elves – and then theres me :)
21. Casket Maker – call it fetish or obsession but I have a thing for coffins – dead people deserve to be sent 6ft under in a pretty case :)
22. Cheer Leader – None of that Knights and Angels crap for me – I’d like to go pro and maybe cheer for the Lakers or something
23. Manicurist – I have this crazy knack for nail art which is fast growing into an obsession so why not – people pay big money to have pretty nails
24. Bomb Disposal Expert – it’s the coolest profession every – you never know when you’ll explode into a thousand little pieces
25. Archaeologist – old things hidden under piles n piles of dirt – who wouldn’t wana do that
26. Cartoonist/Animator – I love drawing cartoons – what fun bringing them to life
27. Stand Up Comedian – my friends think I’m funny – I could probably be India’s answer to Russel Peters :)
28. Card Dealer – I just love the ambience of casinos – too bad gambling isn’t legal in India – I love the “ka-ching” and all the bling bling – I wouldn’t mind manning the Roulette table either
29. Architect/Interior Decorator – most peoples houses (including mine) are far from decorated – I’d love to rake up the clutter and tastefully design people’s homes so that they are both nice to look at and convenient to live in!
30. Librarian – as geeky as it sounds – where else can you sit and read so many books???
If you know of any openings do let me know :P
p.s this list is not exhaustive - I may add more fantasy dream jobs
