Blues and Blahs

Haven't had much to write about in a long time. Oh well,been lazy too. I would call it the period between blahs and blues. And now on to my fav thing - Bullet points :-))
1) A, I did try your way of making myself grin and it works. So thanks for that .(still grinning :-) !)
2) Had a whirlwind trip to Kerala and the never ending rains made its presence felt everywhere. Literally - in the form of droplets on top on my neighbor's head during the onward journey, and since I had sighed and thanked god for small mercies, the drops kind of gravitated towards my head on the way back. Justice or cheap thrills? And yeah it rained every second I was there . So my turn to say ...rain rain go away .. for heaven's sake.
3) Met an enlightened person. No sarcasm. Been to a gurukul. The environment was nice but the rest was like something out of Kate and Leopold. I would probably read this one a couple of decades from now and snicker.
4) Suffering from book craving. Lots of it. In fact, had to go to the bookshop on a weekday to pacify the monster. Its another story that I ended up taking the next day off .
5) And go a Matt Bomer screen saver. I have nothing to say to that! :-))

Nite

Need a few happy smileys!

Show me some happy people.

People around (everywhere) have so many reasons to be sad. Some do not have husbands to bitch about, or cranky kids to have sleepless nights over, some have satan incarnate bosses / MILs /FILs /DILs all of the above and if someone claims to have none of the above, there is always some neighbour who is richer than thou and that is enough to lose peace over.

And then once you have successfully become sad, there are various ways to express it - droopy mouth, brooding eyes, sulking ears and then whine about to anyone in sight or brave enough to pick up your calls and whine till the sadness is successfully transmitted to the other side( hey osmosis can happen though the phone too, who says a freaking translucent membrane is needed). Well, yeah there is no dearth of agony aunts ( yours truly is a sad people magnet) .

But hey I need a break. Show me some happy people. The chirpy ones (even if the chipiness can get on your nerves most of the times) Whatever, I need some happy faces....

Any human smileys around??? Any body? sigh! ... :(

Dark thoughts

I had known that this was coming. A woman's instinct, perhaps, or just plain common sense. It could also be due to the fact that I know her well. Not the best of friends but have got used to having her around. She has watched me walk through my personal thorns. She has also been friendly enough to not ask but just be around. I am grateful to that. I will always be.

Now when I watch her walk towards disaster. I can only close my eyes and pray. I have been praying that it wouldn't come to this. I can only watch. I am no coward, but these demons are yours to fight,to vanquish. These do not die after death. They come back to haunt you for a long time. I so wish you didn't have to face them at all. I wish I could ask her to turn back while there is still time.

But I cannot. This is some thing you have to do on your own. My loyalties lay on your side. But I hope you understand I can only lean back and watch you jump into a endless dark hole.

Hmm.. Another dark blog..... Cant help it.

Dost

And no .. this is no story about dostana, only musings on friends, or their effect on me.

Well, after a lot of deliberation, decided to disturb the symmetry of my body, by joining the torture chamber - a gym. In spite of the crankiness before the session, (associated with being out of bed at an ungodly hour on a weekend) and whimpering muscles after crawling out of the place (literally!), I had a great time. The chats in between the muscle wringing, the teasing, the yapping , the breakfast and the long walk after the session made my day. All this thanks to a friends couple. ( yeah you read it right - couple of my friends who are married to each other :-)) ) It felt strangely alive and peaceful at the same time. Although we did nothing out of the ordinary!

Contrast that to to another outing in the evening, this time with a totally different friends set. A masala movie which is usually prescribed for the depressed, followed by shopping. Now what could have been better than that . But no, I returned with a sense of hmm.. emptiness. Not any body's fault . Just my reaction to em.

Moral of the story, ... still searching

This is not turning out to be a fun blog. Blame if on the Argentina slaughter that is happening as we speak... The song that I am listening to at the moment does not help either .

Bin tere Bin tere , koi khalish hai...hawaon main bin tere..

Hit a high high and a steep low in a single day. Was just the last post that I was talking about life hitting a plateau??

Kick the ball

Letting the imp out with that title! *grins*

Have been away from blogdom for a while now. the graph has plateaued down these days. Call it the 'daal chaval' days. Watching life in 2D - The soccer world cup, Wimbledon and then there is cricket where India seems to have added yet another insignificant cup (?!) to their collection. And since TV has taken over all my spare time, I have nothing to say...

On second thoughts , there are a few things in no particular order...

1) It was a week when I had to visit 3 different banks on the same day .And no, I have not changed my profession. It did make me wish for a trip to another planet though.

2) Visited Firangi Pani. Hmmm......Hmmmmm....Hmmmmmmmm...

3) Have started writing a diary the good old way again. And enjoying it . Especially drawing those smileys on the edges.

4) Just realised I have a thing for vampire human love stories - Is that even normal???

5) Was talking to a friend with problems and people around me asked if I was alright ..WTH???

6) Saving the most unladylike comment for the last - The strange fascination of the Williams sisters for public display of outlandish UGs . Somebody stop em , for heaven's sake.

And I almost typed 'Regards, N'.
