Frenemy

Had a lovely evening with someone I do not even consider to be close... A lovely long walk in the evening along a cananl, wathed the kids feed swans in the water. Italian food and wine and then finally sat outside the restaurent just on the banks of the canal and it iwas a full moon night. It was a lovely lovely night. The conversation flowed from bitching about common friends to work to home and Indian joint family system. And to to think that I do not get along with the this lady, not really. But looks liek she enjoyed my comnpany too... One evening wonder ? Only time would tell. But I guess it just adds weight to the saying - Never say Never....

Lone Wolf in the City

The end of a party is like a ravaged city after a storm... Literally and figuratively..More so after a good party..Suddenly the walls seem to talk all at once..

Loneliness. That is the only word I can think of. But I am not sure, the feeling wouldn't exist even if I wasn't living alone.. Guess it's a bitter pill that just needs to be swallowed...just like falling and getting the knees skinned while learning to walk..

And somehow writing about this helps...:)....

When you've had enough
when you've got it bad enough
and you can't let go
when it comes to blows
and you start to overflow
but you can't get home
it's a subtle kind of cruel
it taps my spine
here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking you please
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?

Candyman

Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream,

Separate the sorrow and collect the cream,

The candyman can, the candy man can,

the candyman can, 'cause he mixes it with love

and makes the world taste good...

-Roald Dahl

Love those lines, I would say this would apply to icecream man too. These men are mythical creatures placed strategically on this planet to spread some much needed cheer. Last Sunday was a classic example - was limping back home from a trip, blistered feet and a prissy mood. And lo and behold an icecream man.. A raspberry - vanila cone and a lovely smile later, I was practically skipping down the road, injured feet and the whole world forgotten... Well, it did help that the icecream man was cute...

I met him out for dinner on a Friday night
He really got me working up an appetite
He had tattoos up and down his arm
There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm

- Christina Aguilera 'Candyman'
