I Still Love You

Right now I am somewhere in b/w being dozy and dizzy. But I have this I wanna write & write & write instinct today. I had these numerous things popping in my head, suffocating it and forcing my lil brain with its few functioning grey cells to find a way to let them out. So I thought I do make up some space there and fill the space here instead. So here goes one of the many stupid thoughts my head wants to free itself off...


I Still Love You
I sincerely wanted to get rid of....It has been 3 years + and a long time anyone would wanna stick to, in this upgrade-ever technology-driven world.

It's like you wanna swap the old for new no matter how used to or how good the old ones are. The newer ones are always exciting and trendy and always win over the older ones no matter what.

And there is nothing wrong in feeling so, Right?

So this is what I told myself not to feel guilty, for wanting to get rid of something I no longer wanted to associate with, no matter how important it was to me during all those critical phases of life.

Finding my excuses (a few I made up though) ample enough to file a petition to my parents for a new mobile, I felt good to dump the oldie ASAP. Fortunately my mobiles battery was acting strangely and that made things easiest for its dumping. As my dad (sweetest) felt my basic right to life was at stake he felt more urged than me to get a new one at once.

But sometimes luck plays in a great deal. All the shops were closed that day except one that seemed like an oasis to thirsty long distance travelers. Dad & me felt proud of finding our treasure to be bought (it’s not always that you find treasure you gotta buy it sometimes). We went hopping and gleaming to find that it was only a dried up oasis that only sold mobile accessories[recession effect eh ?]. Yippee my dad said and yuckieeeee I felt.

SO that’s how my mobile was given a new life again much out of my ill luck. 'Being environmental friendly is all about exploiting using all the resources available to the fullest extent and longest period possible', I told myself to soothe my broken ego.

I thought of the good old times we had together...like...
# it was with me when I met with my first accident,
# it was the first gift from my Sis who bought it with her hard earned GA $,
# it didn't complain when I forgot it in the freezer for a hour or two and later badly wanted to thaw it [but I didn't :~( ],
# it had a cute bonding with kali who by now knew so well to operate it,
# it connected me to many many many friends,
# it gave a 'I am with her don't you worry' kinda assurance to my mom each time I went out,
# it was my camera i was proud of when i had no digi cam,
# it was my radio,it was my reminder,it was my alarm,it was my calculator,it was my calendar,
# it was that piece of 'man made wonders' that connected me to somebody important miles away....

See, a little bit of introspect and your priority list changes.

"So, this is how I found I still loved my Nokia 3230"

Abh kahani mein aayega The Twist
Yesterday my mobile fell from my hands and this was probably the hundredth time or so. I assumed my mobile was immune to any falls by now but I was wrong. I felt bad just not because my investment of 650rs went waste but to lose something just after you realize their importance is like so humiliating.

And now comes The Miracle
I thought my mobile was dead after trying to switch it on in the numerous ways I know (cajoling, begging, beating & what not). Two days of despair and losing contact with the world and all hope lost I reapplied my petition but my dad couldn't give up so easily and he took my dead mobile to that dried up oasis. And miraculously it was in good state even before that mobile doctor man at the oasis did anything.

I guess my mobile was acting dead or may be felt unconscious or may be it had some inbuilt self recovery feature. I do believe the former.

Probably it likes me too and it did a little drama to show me" love can’t be easily lost".

And the Moral of The Story

"A little drama in every happy ending love story is Okay."

                                                                    *******
P.S.
--->I still want to write morrree. But I know how  dizzygusthinglee irritating it is to even look at such long posts.
---> If you though Nokia 3230 are extinct...You are mistaken.
---> IPhones and comments accepted.

2 States

Nope, I am not talking about the state of my mind but Chetan Bhagat's book 2 States-The story of my marriage.

I am not good at writing reviews but I do say this is the best book of all those Chetan Bhagat wrote till date. The plot was nothing huge but his simple style of writing and humor has just got better and that is what makes this book an adorable story you can't afford to miss. Though I felt the dramatization was overdone sometimes making the story sound untrue. (I know all stories are never purely real and a bit of exaggeration is Okay but I still think the book that makes you believe everything it says wins.) But it still scores high on maintaining congenial humor coupled to his unique way of unfolding the story. But I had one regret reading this that I don’t drink coffee cause this is one book that makes you wanna sit back and sip coffee as you read, on a pleasant sunday evening.

I do rate it 4.4/5 and few books ever did/would get a rating higher than this from me.

P.S.

If you are a South India like me, You woul feel like offended at one or the other points but thinking on  broader terms...you should kind of feel okay.  And the only point to be remembered is India might be divided gepgraphically and the complexion of the skin but we are all the same at heart.

What I did this Diwali

 

My Mom was simply shocked when I told her I would make a rangoli this diwali. She was worried I do ruin up everything and embarrass myself given the fact that all my neihgbours are well experienced professional rangoli makers. But luckily things didn't turn out that bad. I guess there is something mystical and magical when hues of color are brought together.And yeah, it was absolute fun too.

 

So here goes the quote from Martin Kippenberger,

"Entertainment and art are not isolated. Entertainment is in art like color in pictures."

The Unfair Talk

It has been quite a time since I heard her speak or must I say complain about how her life sucks & how tangled up she is in the mess that she deliberately chose for herself.

I obviously chose to stay far-far away from her as long as I could, as I was in no mood to hear the same old rotten stuff I've been listening to for ages. It's always easy to suggest a solution to a problem for someone who hopes to find one, but of what help can you be to someone who believes they know all the solutions to all the problems of their lives and yet are so-so-so unhappy. Your presence or no presence could be a pain to them. And hence I chose the one thing that apparently seemed easy-to ignore her. To ignore as if she never existed.

And now that she found herself ruthlessly once again thrown back into that same old truly hated, well known place of loneliness, I knew she would come back to me to be consoled, to be told that she was not all wrong after all. And even if she didn’t I could not ignore her for long.

Though I despised her for her foolishness to blindly follow what her heart said, deep down I Knew that it was what that kept us connected. I was her everything when she was something/nothing to everyone. But her silence for the past few days and nights was utterly horrifying. I wondered if she chose this medium of silence to tell me things I had no courage to understand.

Feeling sorry for her, who failed to understand herself like every one of us, I felt compelled to make her speak out before her silence said all those ugly truths again and again.

'Understanding Pain is after all not such a good idea, especially when you know not how to soothe it.'

ME: Hey..I was wondering how hard it must've been for you...that..

She: That [an expressionless face so unlike her]
ME: That he finally said goodbye.
She: I knew it was going to happen eventually.
ME: [I know you are stupid] Are you still upset?

She: Yes

ME: But why? After all it was something expected.

She: Lose a friend, lose the one you love the most, lose the one you placed all your faith in you will know then.

Me: What went wrong?

She: Destiny

ME: [hiding my giggles...blame game again] What went right?
She: Destiny
ME: [You stupidestest] Grin what is love?

She: I don't know.

ME: Love is a fallacy.
She: Maybe {long pause] not

ME: Why maybe? You are supposed to have a single opinion.

She: I don't.

ME: You make me feel so insufficient. You are SUPPOSED to have a definitive opinion about any damn thing in this darned world you stupid dumbo.

She: Do you? (With a twinkle in her eyes)

ME: let’s just talk about YOU loser.

She: don't they both mean the same?
Me & She: [Silent]

Home alone -Part I

It’s a dark, cold night with an endless rain. It’s lightning sometimes and the power is fluctuating. You are all alone though you have a mobile with a dead network. You try to think of something delightful but end up with the memories of all the gothic stories you ever read, heard or saw overflowing your mind. You can feel your heart beat at a pace faster than your thoughts. You feel something moving behind you. [It could be a bee or a mosquito or maybe an old handsome vampire or a hungry Dracula?] You wanna look behind to make sure there is nothing, but you seem to be paralyzed all of a sudden. 'No, you can't be a coward' you tell [shout to] yourself and look over your shoulders. There is nothing [ :~( ] but now, something seems to be under your chair or maybe behind the door, or maybe inside the closet or maybe under the dining table or blah blah blah ...........


No! I was not intending to write a story now : ~D Hehehe!![The wicked devilish smile] Thank god there is no mirror on my monitor] SO SO SOrry if you were expecting to read something serious or naughty or horrible! [Horrible??? Here? Neverrrrr!]

I thought I shall write more regularly when I created this blog.....but GOD!! I am still sincerely committed to be lazy! [Blame the lord...Since he doesn't have a blog, he doesn’t let me blog? I guess so!]

Okay! I can hear you! I know I am stupid sometimes like you :~D The serious stuff ahead........

Started writing this to tell that I am a bit excited and a bit 'nervous'[yeah nervous] that there are a few courageous bloggers out here who dare to read my posts too ;~) Guys, I sincerely appreciate [Saurabh, Karthik, Murali, Tejesh, Sruthi, Sajith, (Angel from heaven & Sorcerer-wonder what your real names are) ]all your invaluable comments and time spent on my blog for me...They sure are precious to me!!! And most importantly I truly enjoy reading your blogs!

Don't worry [or Just Pray], I am not gonna end this post so soon. Hey! I finally finished Anna Karenina....I don't wanna reveal the plot or anything but the ending actually disappointed me, not that it could have been much better! Anyways...And then my Bioinformatics classes (not the subject though) are quite boring [already :~(] Well, It just started so I am sure, my opinion is going to change very soon.

I & Kali [my sweet, cute, lil, darling sis] are actually home alone now and I am inclined to be scared after reading the stupid stuff I just wrote. But nah! There is no power cut here, the phone is not dead, and more over I am watching Mr. Bean’s Holiday. So, I guess I am gonna sleep laughing or maybe laugh in my sleep.[gross :~S ]


And hey! If you felt scared or something similar reading the 1st Para .......Remember there is nothing more evil than our selfish minds. Finally the Quote from Jean-Jacques "Our greatest evil flows from ourselves” True...isn't it?
