Golden Mood

Is- in the mood for some genuinely interesting conversation that may include *resonance in spirituality *the world of expensive and crap wines *the even more magnificent world of scotch *art..perhaps the parallel movement with literature? *underwater life... no more discussions on commerce, cinema or crackers (um. I liked the 'c' alliteration) NEW things to know from wildly interesting and eccentric individuals... too much to ask? I think its time to travel... chalo chale Greece ooooh or this beautiful museum on an island in Germany. I'm that flexible with travel plans. :)

no bark, less bite

so V & co. told me about this 3 hour trek on a sunday morn. It sounded like a good way to walk off those wai wai packets.. yes.. packetS anyway. until the price tag came up and I figured the company wouldn't compensate that mini void in the wallet. why should I pay you to make me walk? huh?? besides... until I'm officially raking in the pink 1000 rupee notes I should only spend them on essentials. Like The Body Shop stuff. and Flipkart books. (the last one was total crap by the way... not going to believe reviews by strangers again.. rippedoffwasi) since it is SO easy to find fault with everyone (the trek organizers. flipkart book reviewers... ) I'm going to bring to mind 3 wonderful things about the first four people who pop into my head F- funny, smart, charming (gentlemen, she is also available :) ) Ve- HILARIOUS, witty, warm (nope. isn't on the market...at all) eM- joyful, genuine, loving aR- smart, nice, considerate Its nice to know smart, funny, happy, loving people. :) God Bless

one of those all-over-the-place posts

I started to write an "I think" post, only with the disclaimer "as of now" trailing smoothly behind it. You know, the post that lists out a bunch of eclectic things that I sort-of kind-of maybe assume as correct. but I'm genuinely itching to write a post about the World Cup (mustrestrainself..or will be butchered by fanatic fans. argh).. Ah the pressure to live a happy peaceful life is tempting. Live and let live? ok ok.

but its still unfair that the majority get to have their say on social networking sites (which I secretly still visit every once in a while)... and I have to stay mum on threat of complete terrorization by the irrational Indian MOB.

YES. I'm talking about YOU. (probably)

To talk of more profound and world-altering things.. I'm no longer able to make out if I'm hungry or uhh.. not. The tummy is playing a funny hard-to-get game with me. Organs I tell you. Back to work I say and the safest thing to do is consume tons of water till all is well in the physical body. Tootsie and Mitu send their love. Ta... Ps- I'm curious about the identity of one of my readers... will you oblige? Pps- Does anyone else notice a pattern where I get more regular on the blog close to the exams?

compatibility

Wavelengths are the funniest things. You can be totally on the same page with someone and then suddenly the balance shifts and the vision is skewed. And then there are those others, those precious few that God hands out because He knows you need someone who knew you when you were young(er) and stupid(Er) to talk to every once in a while. and it works.. because the idiotic choices you make as you prance along the years... they mirror that in their own unique billion-miles-away way. and magically, 7 months into not talking.. you can still pick up the phone..swap notes on the latest..and be on that same very page nodding along. Veeee is awesome.. and moronic. but I love her. We're both donkeys from the same grassland...

Radha

Rainbows, Butterflies, Unicorns, Pink-Purple Gold clouds... love, all sit differently on each tongue and then roll out in unforgettable ink drops. In this world of seemingly limitless variety, it appears impossible to find reconcilable differences. but when they're found. when.they.are.found.. you have balance. and magic. and a fairytale that most don't realize they're a part of. only, its so clear to the one who cares to notice, that they're each perched on a swing set side and no one is tipping over... Here

ripple

Its time to break those patterns
Patterns Ive been uncomfortable with but a slave to

Its time to break them not because it'll be easier for the world
(that is a lucky byproduct)
But because in the journey towards maintaining that inner peace...
I need to lose all habits that create ripples
Unproductive ripples


and float I could, with the current
lightly tread on the path prescribed
delineated
assigned
marked by those pretty white arrows
leading the way
Allowing old footprints to guide me
But wait, have I been here before?
will I stand here again, someday soon?

I could, could I?, I could
change?
break away not for its sake
but for mine
walk a different line
with a different tune occupying the mind
I could, Could I?, I might, Will I?
I will
(and blessed will be the journey towards peace)

Shade of a Baby Orange

Its astonishing how often we get it right...and then forget that we did,
kudos to 2008 version of me for the predictions
(saved in drafts)
the only relevant difference being how well we handle the obvious :)

its interesting to look back and (hopefully) see how much you've grown
and it goes on

exams give me too much time to introspect
wah
