Ramblings

Nothing's left. Not anymore. Though it won't seem that way. You would have to scratch the surface for that. It all seems hunky dory, when the truth is that it's in shambles; held together by the wariness that accompanies destroying the status-quo with very little time left.

Yeah, that's what it is. A desire to let the illusion be. For then all could part pretending nothing was amiss. Then there won't have to be difficult conversations and painful confessions.

Sweeping the dust under the carpet never cleaned a room but it does provides a semblance of cleanliness in a short frame of time. Oh how right was the one who said, Ignorance is Bliss! If only, I was.

Death

All who have been born shall die. It's inevitable. Death visits us all and yet we live constantly fearing what is bound to happen, under the shadow of its dread, always fearing its arrival. I often wonder why.

A wise man had once said that death is always beside us and it is death that gives us the courage and the strength to perfrom difficult tasks. So go ahead and make the call that you have been psotponing for so long, have that conversation that you know you ought to have.

Let death be a reminder to us to live each moment of our life fully. Let it ensure that we behave normally but not lose the maverick inside us. Let it ensure that we remain crazy!

Till Death do us apart...

The Protege

He stirred the ice cubes in his vodka with a finger. As if not satisfied with what he felt, he picked up another couple of cubes and added them to the glass. The plonking of the ice cubes was the only sound that came out of the dark room. He resumed his stirring without as much as a second glance at the glass as if he were in a trance. He then picked the glass up and drained it in one gulp. Just then his cell phone beeped to signal the arrival of a message. He had no doubt it was her. His hand moved towards the table but it completely ignored the cell, instead he reached out to the near empty bottle lying there. He moved the bottle in his hands, gazing at the shimmering liquid inside. He put the bottle to hsi lips and drained its contents. And then, as was inevitable, he collapsed in his chair.

It was still dark outside when he woke up with chainsaws and jackhammers pounding in his head. The digital clock, displayed prominently on his desktop, showed the time to be 4:52:37 am. As he was trying to rouse himself  from the mires of slumber he was aware of an irritating buzz coming from somewhere near him.  He groped in the dark till he found the source of his irritation: it was his cellphone. Not yet fully awake, he pressed the answer button, and a groggy voice, that was not quite his own, said hello. 

Caller: Why have you been ignoring me?

It was her. The sound of her voice pierced through the alcohol induced sleep and suddenly his bloodshot eyes were wide open. As he spoke the next line, What do you think, the words themselves seemed to taste bitter, for he spat before continuing Are you sure that's the question that you want to ask?

If you want something, look the other person in the eye.

The Witch

Shrouded in a veil of mystery she moves

Creeping up like the chill in autumn

Stealing those who are cherished

And are naive enough to trust

Dining together

Dancing away merrily ever after

All the time stroking Satan's fire 

Who's fault is it

Their's.. Her's..?

Or is it 

That of Satan himself?

alvidaa alvidaa...

Goodbyes are not forever.

 Goodbyes are not the end.

 They simply mean I'll miss you 

Until we meet again!

Breaking Free!!!

Sparks

Sparks were bound to fly when stubborness met the whims of satan. And they did!

ohk there's a lot more crap lying around my room but am bored of writing about it!! Blaaaahhhh!!

Narcissism, Oh yes!!

A narcissist is one who understands that to love onself is the beginning of a life long romance.

1. I love wearing kurtas. I can wear them all the time and to all sort of places: parties, college, dates, even project presentations! And no, wearing a kurta doesn't make me a neta!!
   

 

2. I like to shop but shopping isn't an obsession with me.

 

3. I am a big foodie. From the golgappas being sold at a thela to an exotic continental dish, I can eat any and everything as long as it suits my taste.

 

4. I need coffee to survive.

 

5. I continue to surprise myself and those around me. Count on me to do the unexpected!!

 

6. I do not like my authority being undermined.

 

7. I can truly open up to very few people only.

 

8. I do not have a lot of patience with dumb guys or for that matter people who speak rubbish 24*7.

 

9. I am full of contradictions.

 

10. I have a loyal rather than a meticulous memory. I will remember the important things but am prone to forget some little things. It's the Mad Cow!! Don't worry though, I won't forget your birthday :)

 

11. If I say something, I actually mean it.

 

12. I am fiercely loyal towards my friends and expect the same in return.  When that doesn't happen, I just hate it. I do not like my friends socializing with people whom I am not on talking terms with.

 

13. I am addicted to my cell phone and I do not like it. I want to be able to live without it for a couple of days without feeing uneasy.

 

14. Sometimes, just sometimes, I prefer to be left alone.

 

15. I prefer being in a smaller group of friends.

 

16. I suck at keeping up charades and doing things for social obligations.

 

17. I like listening to music but I don't actually remember the lyrics and all. It’s like a soothing uniform cover of noise that blocks out the irritating random noise in the environment.

 

18. I wish to settle down on a beach, near the ocean. I also want to own a villa in the mountains to which I can escape during the summers.

 

19. I read a lot.

 

20. I don't like people who are born with a silver spoon in their hands. Specially more so if they happen to be a jerk. Come on there's more to life than supporting Man Utd, being obsessed with dogs and acting like a complete idiot.

 

21. I daydream quite a bit. Anytime you want, I can give you at least three different versions of my future life.

 

22. I want a spectacular death. I just don't want to pass away without leaving a trace.

 

23. I am extremely lazy. But then as I said, I am full of contradictions and can surprise you with the energy I show for certain activities.

 

24. I don't think there's anybody in this world who gets me completely. I guess nobody knows  the entire story of my life. I am too reserved to share everything with one person.

 

25. I can write 25 more such things. I simply love talking or in this case writing about myself.

And now I tag
