Open Mic this Sunday
Ramblings
Not ennui nor despair
Not hope nor loss
No excuse, no pleas
Just a little submission
For understanding
One who still is confused
And who wishes to say
“Alvida”
A little announcement
I have stopped partying.
End of an era perhaps?
Rant for the day
Why would anyone prefer to travel via private transport when there is so much fun you get using public transport?
Where else would we learn
a) That the girl in blue sitting across arguing over the phone hates her boyfriend now and won’t talk to him and has been stating that for the past one hour
b) That the price rise is because of bad management by Chidambaram who should have just ordered every shop to limit their prices and to hell with their profits and losses
c) That the use of a perfume/deo before coming to office is still a novel idea to most people
d) That a girl wearing trousers and a shirt is obviously not from South India because South India is full of *good women who know how to remain women*
e) That there are so many ways to leer and stare and look unabashed when you get a glare back
f) That not wearing any jewellery would lead to questions like “Are you pentecostal” from an excited looking aunty who seemed bored with everyone else and proceeds to quiz you on your work as well as personal life
g) That the only way to get out of a cramped train is not to say “Excuse me” and wait for the one before you to move, you instead just start shoving and pushing your way to the front
h) That heels are very useful when it comes to trying to hint at someone to give you space
i) That you could listen to loud music blaring out of someone’s cell and that someone considers the use of ear-phones to be a cardinal sin
j) That the train schedule is just for the sake of having something decorative around the station and to follow it is to certify yourself insane
P.S I have started using public transport to try and turn green, but as you can see, there are certain teething issues.
This rant aside, I have to admit that public transport is way more fun than travelling in a rick or a car.
Ramblings
Two score temples and more
Have I visited these two months
Each time with a fresh hope
That perhaps I will find it in me again
To believe in the existence
Of an All-Mighty Being above.
It would be simpler
To blame a God
Rather than take responsibility for my life;
Unfortunately all I can do
In these “Holy” places
Is gaze in wonder at the architecture
And look around at all the piligrims
And envy them their perfect excuse
- “God is above and it is all in His hands”
There are times when it pays to be a theist
What was said
