Kids in love

GIRL: I'm sleepy

BOY: Why so early?

GIRL: Dunno.. But, I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP :-( !!! I want to talk to you

BOY: {blushing...} :-) :-)

GIRL: {sad} say something... :-(

BOY: ------------

GIRL: {more sad and slowly} say something :-( :-(

BOY: I love you :-) {blushing}

GIRL: :-) :-)

BOY: Once upon a time... {she interrupts}

GIRL: wow, a story?

BOY: yes, a stoory :-)

GIRL: I love you too :-)

{now, both of them chuckling}

BOY: This is the story of why and how the Earth has come to existence and why all this life on it and the answer to all the scientists and philosophers's...

GIRL: philiosphy??? :-( By the way you started with "once upon a time"

BOY: listen monkey..

GIRL: Don't call me monkey :-)

BOY: Ok stupid, listen now..
{quickly}
Once upon a time, thousands of years ago... GOD was playing dice...

There were few gods who could never come to conclusion about who's the greatest amongst them.

GIRL: sounds like a fable for small children..

BOY: that's why I'm telling you my dear... listen nowww.. I should tape your mouth

GIRL: :-) what if I feel like kissing you and my mouth's taped??

BOY: :-) :-) I'll do that thing for you.. you signal me when you feel like that

GIRL: you're not telling the story???? :-)

BOY: very smart... Among those present were

- The Air god
- The Fire god

GIRL: The Soil god.... The Moon god!

BOY: No, No,

- The Nature goddess
- The Water god

and the actual GOD acted the judge.

GOD: well, you guys have been obstructing one anothers duties to prove each others's greatness. But, the right way to prove oneself is doing the work in the best possible way he can. The person who'll do what he can do perfectly will be the greatest.

The Omnipotent then threw a dice into the space

{Slowly saying}

GOD: you people need a stage to showcase your talents.. and this is it... THE EARTH..

GIRL: A talent show??

BOY: yes, for gods.. and the main god is the judge.

GIRL: who'll be the anchor then?? :-)

BOY: the main god... he's both the judge and the anchor.

GIRL: Hmmm.... okaay!

BOY:

{with sound effects}

The Earth was burning hot when it flew into the space and The water god was about to do somethin when GOD stopped him

GOD: wait there, to win this competition, none of you should interrupt others' work.

The four gods agreed.

The water god then poured himself all over the earth and cooled it down and also formed huge water bodies

GIRL: called oceans

BOY: {continuing} :-) were created... They were so deep that they seemed bottomless. Main god was very impressed.

GIRL: hmmm.. :-)

BOY: Then came the Nature Goddess.. She just flew around the water bodies and the oceans teemed with life... all kinds of life... small to huge... black, blue, green, white, every colour... GOD was Amazed with these creatures and the creator of them, the Nature Goddess.

She couldn't create life on the land however.

GIRL: No Air! So, the soo called Air god created air??

BOY: yaa.... soo the Air god enveloped the earth.. he covered the entire space on earth... he was everywhere... the narrowest tunnel or the deepest cave or anything. He was present everywhere. This omnispresence rivalled that of the main god and he was awestruck with that show.

Now, the Nature goddess created more creatures. These could walk and think... some kind of life was found everywhere on earth. They collectively gave rise to beautiful eco systems..

GIRL: what's all this dearrr???

BOY: Life existed for a long time before Fire god entered and made it easy.. He made many useful tools for men.. He was involved in every functionning of the Man..

He somehow managed to impress GOD..

{After observing their works for thousands of years}

GOD: All were impressive. But no one could make the one perfect masterpiece to be adjudged the winner!!!!

BOY: Now, someone should cry... we see it daily in our talent shows... either the participant, the judge or the audience or even the ancohr... sometimes everyone///

Nature Goddess: {crying} You show what it is.... what it looks like... beautiful than a peacock, graceful than a swan, {still crying}

Water God: deeper than an ocean, more wonderful than a waterfalls,

BOY: God knew it was time to do it. He observed all the best qualities in everything ever existed and anything that'll ever exist. He worked out different conmbinations and in the end came up with it.

He made you...

GIRL: what??

BOY: He made YOU..

GIRL: aaaahaan!!!

BOY: Yaa, he made you... :-)

GIRL: {disbelief} stop it...

BOY: and he made me to take care of you :-)

you're my only love :-) so you're present wherever my imagination could go.. You're omnipresent...

you're the most beautiful girl, both in and out

you're the deepest to understand

you're the most colourful, you're everything to me....

BOY: good night sweetheart... sweetest dreams.. miss you :-(

glurblurrb!

at this time of the night... not at all sleepy... I'm blogging!!! feels nice though...

Power cuts.. power cuts a-a-n-d power cuts.. Giving sometime to use the terrace.. all these days it's only been star gazing at nights... and today it's late than always...

I found out things that rejuvenate me.. after the defeat of Deccan chargers.. it was the cold and strong breeze and the sense of rain... also the clouds that brought me back!!

Well, thinking about things... and not thinking at all about anything has been the case all while.. (!!!)

When I asked people in the beginning, no one agreed, but now two guys want to come with me on the surprise trip...

oh shit.. I forgot something.. byee

Distraction, but then

you're driving

you see a girl on her father's bike, sitting behind him

you tell to yourself "hmmm.. she's good"

She looks at you when you overtake them.

A smile arises, a shrewd one.. however, you just move on but later blushing :-)

Zephyr

Belated wishes to one of the first and finest writers I came to know. The below poem "Mirage" is her work and if personified, it'll turn into a present day individual.

"I know not myself,
Maybe you know me?
Look into my eyes,
Tell me what you see.

An innocent girl,
Or a crafty witch,
Between these roles
Do I appear to switch?

I stand at the crossroads,
Of reality and bright dreams,
I start to move forward,
At least, that is how it seems.

Which path do I take?
Do you think you know?
Radiant dreams by a friend,
Gloomy reality by a foe?

Do you think that you have
Understood the riddle,
Or have you lost yourself,
Somewhere in the middle?

These words I pen,
Are a mirror of my heart,
Or they simply might be,
A barrier to deadly darts.

If you have read this far,
Then you may know me,
And in that illusion,
I will let you be."

This post is a tribute to the poem which perfectly captures the puzzle and parody of present day life and a birthday greeting to it's writer. Thousand times I read it and it still feels fresh and true.

ENTROPY

Haa, every time I told my mom "I'm going to friend's place", I did go... but not this time ;-)

Went to the bus stop to catch the first bus.

I wonder whether Hyderabad is full of pairs and couples going all around or whether I'm observing only them.
I find soo many of them everywhere.. indeed I'm finding only them. Here too, as soon as I got in, I found one pair sitting near the door.

The bus was mostly empty and I took the window seat. It was pollution outside so conductor closed all the windows. Now as good as any other place (huh!). I was trying to look through the tinted glass, what was going on outside. Election time, so all roads full of guys on bikes with flags, campaigning for their Favorite (maximum paying) leaders.

Now and then, I was looking at the other window and door too. Just when I was turning towards the door that girl of the before said pair looked at me. Then she stared at me. I was like "Ahemm"

Some time later, I was busy watching this guy screaming while doing some feats on his bike on the road and I followed him towards the door and he disappeared. Just then, she looks again. This time like I'm one weirdo watching them people.

Third time and fourth time... She now whispers something and the guy looks at me too. I wanted to tell "Aaaaahh.. This is too much.. I'm not observing you, not even bothered about you... you hyper idiotic girl, you're looking at me every time I see that side." Looked like that guys perceiving my this "perplexed" look in a different way.

"Aaaaah... sucks" I thought and now kept looking at the roadside shops and stalls.

That's the last stop and they don't move. When I crossed them on way to the door, they both were staring at me or I'd rather say "the pair was staring at me".
I gave a "VERY cheap" look like "yeeeekhhh.. get looooost" and with that satisfaction and happiness I royally got down the bus to find another random bus and got into it.

My phone rings and I'm asked to return home. "pheww, sigh.. Huh huh huh" I felt and next time I do anything like this, people at home will be privileged to use my phone.

Got down this and got another bus back home.

Now the last seat!!!
that same couple!!!
They'd have brushed off any doubt they had that I wasn't really watching them NOW. And now, would even be thinking that I'm following THEM!!

"You're using the bus like this tooo!!!........ ??"
whatever.. I thought. It was quite romantic ;-) though

Now what could they be thinking "He's looking at me only": GIRL
"No.. He's looking at me. I think I know him somewhere. He could be one of my friends's friends": BOY

"you always say you know everyone!!" : GIRL
"However, Boys don't stare at boys" : GIRL again

"Not sure about that.... But, boys... hmmm, will definitely not watch you..": BOY

He he :-)

I'm planning a random trip out of the city this time... Somewhere far. Take the first bus you find
----------------------------

Riddles twiddle you to the middle

Who'll He be??

How will I recognize Him?

The one who'll solve all my riddles?

Will He surface out of the crowd one day?
or will He descend from the heavens
when watching the sky I lazily lay?

Will the skies roar when he emerges out?
or will someone look at him with doubt?

Will He walk on the ground or off it?

Will He bear a Halo, so that I can identify Him?
or will I see Him the day before in my dream?

Will He look like the most handsome one,

carrying a flute and radiating charm all around??

Or will He be someone sweating out to feed his sons?

to the every day necessities, his soul bound?

First of all, will I be able to see Him?

or is He someone who can only be felt?

like "the Untranscendable Being".

Will it be Him, the Creator?

or one of His creations??

Who'll it be that will solve all my riddles? 

Amongst this inner chaos and external disturbance,

I suddenly hear my heart pound.

defining all these 20 years, at a glance.

but never in my senses was it so profound.

I'm still looking into the air, 

Disturbed, but calming down

Confused, but things clearing now...

Heart beating incessantly

with short gaps and heavy thuds

I hear them loud and clear

louder and clearer than ever before...

I stand on the ground,

sweating,

emerging out of myself,

like many of His creations, I can be seen.

But not my heart or what's inside it,

They can only be felt.

I can find neither a question nor an answer,

both are being equally dealt.

My body stopped vibrating,

and I calmed down.

Air started to flow.

pending for 18 months!one of those thoughts that can scoop your mind

In the End

All these years that I've been listening to Linkin Park's "In the End" almost religiously, I understood it's depth or meaning only today!!!

Pain expressed as sarcasm.. Almost blaming..

In a sense, its lucky if you become famous like them.. Whatever they say will be recorded, remembered and sang and screamed. No one bothers about the other side!!
