Not Running Away...But Coming Closer

I want to go on a road-trip. Badly, badly, very badly. And this time I want it for a longer duration. I want to just roam around places, sights, drink in the local culture, observe daily life in a new place, talk to new people, people I don't normally interact with, listen to new sounds, breathe different air, walk new grounds and learn new lessons. And like last time, I won't be stupid enough to lug a heavy bag around (or make nice boys do it for me :( I feel quite terrible now), just a backpack. Lip-balm, a good suncreen, a pair of shorts/loose pajamas, two t-shirts and ofcourse good shades. And wind in my hair.



Bhagwan, please suno lo!

The Luckiest Daughter...

The luckiest daughter...to have the parents I have.

An Impassioned Fool...

Oh, this is so simple and beautiful. How many minutes wasted in arguing, fighting, staying mad, in ignoring, in all that awful negativity...and now words are piled up like newspapers in a corner.



Longing

If there could just be a way of getting there
I wouldn’t hesitate to get on the first plane
If there were words to say all that I want to
I would shout at the top of my lungs
If there were tears that I could shed
I would fill an ocean full of them

I wish I could just make you stay
To give you all that I have
To be with you
It’s hard to see you going away
But there is no way to stop you
My heart wrenches at the thought
That it was all my mistake
Oh why couldn’t I understand
How important all of it was

I just pray that someday
We could talk about it all
I can say what I want
Without using any words at all
And you would hear it with your heart
My hands would be in yours
And we would stay like this forever

Letter From An Old Man...

My ass hurts from all this sitting. Really, why is there no syndrome for the ass, like the carpal tunnel syndrome? Ass tunnel syndrome? Or is there? And if there is, why do I not know of it?!

Sigh. I need to exercise!

I feel really weird when I see women my age, and more so, younger women who have kids. I remember when I was in Bhutan, almost all girls were 22 and mothers!

And more than weird, I just feel, funny thing, incompetent. Like the universe is taunting me. Or maybe it's just my hormones fucking with me?

But you have to give it to the Big Blue, since the day I stepped into it, I see only and only pregnant females around me! Sometimes I wonder if the big blue actually gives away freebies to women for having babies just to prove that it's "women-friendly". It's scary. And if I wasn't unmarried, I would have considered this a sign from God. But good thing, I am not!

Okay and so what's with male cows having udders? For Christ sake just draw a penis there! Everyone knows  they have one, so why be all coy? Or wait a minute, are you telling me cows with udders can't be subversive? Sexism? :O

Toba Tek Singh...

A Food Fly...

A morbid thought, but ever wondered how many "need" you in their lives? The success of your living can be measured by not how many people love you, how many will miss you, but how many lives you have impacted, and how many will feel a void when you're gone from theirs. It's a very humbling thought.

And it's not too late.

Feathers...

Alright, let's see what happens when I don't give a damn.

I so badly*** want to do that! Take the car and just drive away to unknown places. And for company, I don't even want a Ranbir lookalike. Just smart and funny.

***I'll even cut my hair short. That bad!
