If I became a millionaire!

While writing a recent post of mine, I traveled down memory lane to a point in time when I was still in school. And I saw myself standing in the auditorium full of juniors, seniors and teachers. And all of them were looking at me in rapt attention as I was to give an extempore speech on the topic ‘If I suddenly became a millionaire!’ But I failed. Not because I didn’t know what to say but on account of being crippled by nerves. I still remember what I would have said if it wasn’t for the dread of speaking in front of a packed audience.
So I thought why not write on that very topic as a reprieve to the school-goingme standing head down on stage.

So here goes!
If I suddenly became a millionaire, I would first faint in shock!  Apart from those amusing lottery emails that go directly to the spam folder or the messages from unknown numbers, the possibility of my suddenly becoming a millionaire is rare. Rarest of the rare if I may say! But if the Gods of fortune decide to smile upon me someday then perhaps I could wake up as the female version of Scrooge McDuck; with a swimming pool of gold coins you see! Or, perhaps I would inherit a lavish mansion from some long lost uncle of mine, growing into an old hag within its walls.
On a serious note, what would I do? Well first of all I would stop going to the kitchen the moment I am ordained a millionaire. There should be some perks of being one right? Since I absolutely abhor cooking; what better way to start my Richie Rich days than saving myself from the woefully tough task of cooking?
The very next item on my list would be to build a salon at home. Living in the outskirts of town with 5 days of office and 2 days of sheer laziness, I have almost stopped going to parlors. My fear is that one day I’d wake up looking like a scary ghoul. And for that a salon is what I need and a salon is what I’d build.
And then I would gift myself that dream home with a library of the world’s best fictions. Just thinking about a wall to wall library extending high up to the ceiling is a warm feeling, isn’t it?
Shopping sprees with my sister and mom would be next on the list. And then of-course I would visit every restaurant in town with husband dearest. I would fly out every weekend to be with my family, eat home cooked food and tease mom with the help of dad.
Maybe I’d go on a world tour and sample different cuisines. That would be a great thing to do. Some charity too considering it is God’s charity that would have given me that in the first place.
Since ordinarily I just stay at home curled up with a book or watching one of my favorite crime thrillers on laptop, I can’t quite put my hand on the other things I would want to do. Any suggestions?
Maybe I’ll resign and do something with my own money! Yes, no 9 to 5 job would be a good start, wouldn’t it?
Tell me what would you do if you suddenly became a millionaire?

  4. I wouldn't stop going to kitchen but I will experiment new recipes to fulfill my family's taste buds but leave the daily cooking to a good maid/cook.

    When I will have enough time on hands I will learn all the different arts/craft of our country that it is so rich in.
    well can't think right now.

  8. Babes, you have covered almost everything one would wanna do.. But how about hobnobbing with some Hollywood heart throbs at some Red Carpet in case you are interested in any of them 😉

  16. Like you, won't mind a salon and a library. But I will invest the money in a commercial property and live with rental income. I am so damn boring, Naba.

  23. Cooking I love. Salon visits check!
    Library!!! That's my dream you know. My husband knew about it and had made a special shelf in our room only for books. Oh I would love to see it packed with books one day.

  33. Selfie 🙂

    If you have so much to spend out, donate some to the poor as well ya.
    Just kidding. Its your money and you better know how to spend it.

    Good one Nabanita. Hope you will be a millionaire one day and help to make this world beautiful.

  36. If I became a millionaire, I will create a group for fellow bloggers who can be helped to come out of tough situations….
