Dr. Wonderbutt and d Rat....

d Rat a fresher at Blogger High School...

     she had been a part of The New Wordpress Convent till know... but even there she had been much of a loner keeping to herself... Ppl rarely identified her in all the crowd... then she thought change is necessary and transferred to Blogger High School (BHS)... 
    
       the initial days were a flurry with d Rat trying to be anonymous... she used to observe other students from a distance and marvel at them.. after sometime she tried to start conversations with them but left hurriedly thinking she may sound naive... but there was an exception.. this senior student replied to her every question.. he motivated her to keep talking to ppl and mingle with them... one day he came finding for her in the vast Orkut cafe... he left without talking yet she noticed... this time again she made an effort.. thus started a friendship in BHS... He was none other than Dr. Wonderbutt.... 

OKAY...... that sounded lame.. but i tried a bit to develop a story, in vain... :-P thats in short me and Dr. Wonderbutt oops sorry Dr. Roshan R met over Blogsville.... our dear doc writes at Godyears., which is incidentally celebrating its 3rd birthday today...

started on Nov 30, 2005, Godyears is a spot which is sure to pull those uptight corners of your tight-straight lips Upwards.... Rosh is nothing less...goes no end to make u laugh and even his texts are fun filled that u look forward talking to him.... i just can't still believe that he is a doctor by profession...  like hello, when did doctors turn funny... my Personal doctor's jokes always contain a medicine, a broken bone or a teeth extracting method which often sends me in search of a crocin or vasograin..

Rosh aka Wonder butt aka ur friendly neighbour hood Peacock man aka Pythorosh.... i can just go on listing his nicknames(and earn a kick on my butt :-P) if i permitted i may quote most his oneliners which we have shared over emails and texts.... but i ll hold that a treasure.. so a complete no no, u don't get to know the funny bone of this doc....

a true connoisseur of food, lover of 'electric' blue color, d only doctor with an extra large funny bone... Here we go Roshan...

First we have Mr. Abercrombie waiting with flowers for you...

 

Then Blues Clues tot "how can Godyears celebrate its bday without me wishing"...so it came trotting... and shouted " Happy birthday Godyears"








Various Celebrities including Ms.Melony Musa, Mr. Crafty Glue, Mrs. Beachy Turf, Ms. Electric Blue and Ms. Mushy Flora send in their wishes...

and in d Rat style.."RoSh , Go forward & let d victory be urs" .. For as your mom said sometime back " The name you make from now on..Let that be yours"

And Drum Rolls pleaseeeeee......  An award for the King, who stands out everytime..

God Bless Godyears and Dr.Wonderbutt oops... Roshan Radhakrishnan....

P.S : Rosh... i worked my butt off the whole day for this post... mind you.. let it not go unnoticed...

my conversationzzz since 26th evening...

Thru Texting..

Wookie : Hold on!! Bomb Blast at Mumbai...
d Rat : Wat?? wat happ??
Wookie : Synchronized Bombing and firing at Taj and Trident...
d Rat : Shit...

Calls up Vasu...

Vasu: (picks up saying) i am safe at college, Rat..
d Rat : Thank Goodness... stay put
Vasu : I 'll.. Blasts in South Mumbai.. Two Hotels, 2 Hospitals and a Theater.. and yeah Nariman House included...
d Rat: Shit...

Desperately tries to Call Big Boss, who has left to Mumbai and stays at our Guest house opposite to Nariman House.. Leaves him a Text enquring his safety...

Big Boss : Do Not Worry Rat..I am safe and off to Italy...

Heaves a Sigh and desperately calls up every friend at Mumbai regd their safety... was up for most of the nite following every one thru texts and calls.. slept off some time during the nite... wake up to the texts saying the attacks were still fresh, well in the afternoon on 27th... was smarting with pain when d news came in that a colleague's Husband was a victim at Taj Hotel firing the previous nite...

Texts kept on coming in:

Wookie : Rat... Got to see the video of the terrorists... we can well pass him off as some college student..
Rosh : These guys will do anything in the name of getting a ticket to Heaven...
SV : Lots of Friends have been shot down, Rat.. its all hunky-dory... the terrorist guys are so young.. wat made them do this stuff...

         Most of the texts were regular updates on wat has going on.. for the first time in life, regretted the absence of  an idiot box at home and not being glued to it... every time such Terror attack happens i go thru a gut wrenching moment.. it feels so crappy.. ppl are scanned/denied entry for wearing sandals and carrying outside food, when entering a Hotel... Damn!! can't u guys sniff out RDX and its relatives in the same vein... all this synchronized shooting and blasts... how long and how much do they dedicate for these stuff...

         It came as a shock to me when the movie A Wednesday showed a smart-looking-tech-savvy guy as a terrorist.. but when i see the images of the terrorists invovled in this operation i find no major diff... this is wat we have come to... young children being trained and brought up as terrorists by LTTE in Srilanka and so so many Jihad troupes of Islamic Nations... Caste and religion has no demarcation here... Damn Damn...

       i am smarting with Pain and anguish and not able to concentrate on anything... above this Nisha at Chennai... 37 dead so far... offices, colleges and schools have been declared holiday.. even the Rain or Shine, ever working Chennai branch of my company is enjoying a much sought after holiday...

       Words are failing me and i refuse to see any fresh updates on both cities.. but Wookie keeps on calling me to let me know of the situation.. i wont stop him, coz thats his way to vent out anger...

My silent prayer to these Terrorists " Please Let us in some peace... Please please please...Pretty please with sugar, cherries and cream on top."... but will they hear me out?.. am i sure that they wont give me bullets and bombs in return...? any answers anyone... Damn.....

Edited to Add: This is a Text i just got now...

 Please forward Raj Thackeray's phone number, if u find it..dont know wr he is wen u need him, want him to go and save amchi m,umbai along with his mn sainiks... "THE" sons of the soil. Army, NSG commandoes are not Marathi Manoos...

any comments ppl??

I will be okay coz I feel fine....

thanks for d calls, comments and mails, amigos... but seriously i am fine...

was overwhelmed with the support.. Wookie and Shesha insisted that i continue my dance classes, when i was all for bunking it till i felt better... M called up and insisted that i leave for home immediately ( he sent home the point by mailing the same in next half hour)... R and MJ for trouping into my cabin, giving me a warm hug and sitting there silently while i ranted out everything... YA for numerous gtalk pings.. JD for calling up even though he was busy with his wedding preparations, which is tomm... PK for dragging me into her shopping spree and make me buy a couple of Khadi Handloom stuff...  Rosh, Anki, Saim and Ash for their prayers... Ravi for shaking a finger at me and warning no more cry posts..

Pop is lot better now and is back to work... he has been scheduled with further treatment on my birthday.... Great, just great... but thats ok.. the treatment is lot more important..Shesha has promised to travel down to be with my parents... i am going down home btw Christmas holidays, coz thats the earliest i can avail my leave...

Mom is worried about me now.. getting constant calls and texts.. think, i shudnt have cried over phone.. they are stunned to hear me cry after 6 yrs...last time i cried, i think, was when i was stupidly involved in an accident during my 12th class and ended up in hospital for months... :-) he he he..its funny to think abt it now...

_________________________________________________________________________________

in all this juncture K and L haven't yet bothered to ask wats wrong... not that i care anymore...the drift btw me n K is getting wider day after day.... dunno how we are still sharing the same roof over our heads... its always  iPod over my ears and L by her side... we don't even discuss stuff related to house now...

_________________________________________________________________________________

i have put hold on all plans for the party... i may go on a simple get-together-over-coffee rather than a full lunch bash i had planned for... Wookie and his friends are having a party @ Chennai on the D-Day... but Wookie will take care of that.. so no frills there.... R went bang-bin-bang wen i said, i had canceled the party... i may end up beaten.. save me ppl... :-P

Wishes for B'day have started coming.. but i really don't have the idea why this early.. is there a hidden agenda???? Beats me... 

_________________________________________________________________________________

 Quality months come to an end this 30th.. i have to judge a couple of Essays, Slogans and Posters, all on quality... the Quiz competition went fine.. but not as good as it used to be in college... my Compering skills didnt help either coz the response was very poor from Colleagues... only a handful turned up... Daang...

The winners are getting ludicrously beautiful gifts that i wish i had been a participant instead of playing the host.. but thinking again, i was the one who chose the gifts rite?... he he he

_________________________________________________________________________________

Missed d company Vehicle yday morning.. actually over slept.. tot will come in private bus... heck i forgot its Election season and inter-district transport is not allowed... Daang.. i, anyhow waited for an hour and got one... a mini van posing as Bus... my dear sweet poor knees.. throbbed with pain all day.. doc warned not to stress it, as d ligaments are still weak and i have stopped my steroids... :-( and above this a fellow commuter and the driver tried to act fresh with me.. i played dumb and kept quite.. it was me against a whole van of guys.. Scary.. i am not repeating this again... Daang...

And yeah.. its d election day tomm...  ppl have warned me not to be out my room... it will be real Show tomm with all the party agents and stuff... Daang again....

_________________________________________________________________________________

 i have two deadlines and a week long training program in the offing.. don't ask me, then wat i am doing online.. i am taking hours to complete this post.. the power of multi-tasking... this will be the third training i ll be organizing.. that too on my fav subject, Business Models.. i am all excited..

_________________________________________________________________________________

i have been asked to be off Chocolates by my Doc... Choc is my migraine trigger and as winter has started, Doc has advised to go slow and strict on my diet... i have two boxes of dark chocolates and a box each of Nestle Milk chocolates and Dairymilks.. is anyone ready to take it off my hands.. its really tempting and the stock is not exhausting even after giving away most of them to random colleagues... they are suspicious that how can a Choc addict like me can willingly give away chocs... Daang.... like i am willing to do it.. i am being Pushed ppl....

_________________________________________________________________________________

i am not writing for NANOWRIMO even though i started... why?? coz i killed away my Heroine and made d romantic story into a murder thriller.. and i don't like wat i have written even a bit... Daang Daang Daang...

_________________________________________________________________________________

and yeah.... i got my Bday dress... purchased it from Fabindia.. the collection was named  as Teen India... as PK pointed out i am no more a teen, passed that period years ago.. yet i like to thrive in d teen feeling, so got it... He he he... and the other two are the handloom material i got at a local Handicrafts exhibition...

 Talking about dresses, i got a silk bandhini material as Diwali gift from a cousin... had got it stitched into a suit... now i am working with some brocade, glitters and beads on it.. was reminded of the days wen i designed whole Saris with thread, bead and embroidery work while in college... hope my creativity hasn't died out yet... will upload a pic wen i am done... _________________________________________________________________________________

 Will end here i think.. this bar of Milk chocolate near my key board is tempting me at large...blas·phe·mous...

Ouch that was a very long post..... :-P

and yeah, Wookie threatened that if i mention him anymore he will take over my blog.. so i expect some hacking in next few hours... :-P   and of course... have u given a thought about this....

_______________________________________________________________________________

no title here...

if u r here so that this Rat can cheer u up or pep up ur mood, u can give this post a skip.. its a cry post and i want it to get out my system, hence the post.... now sodd off, u lurkers...

Pop got his first Stroke attack wen i was doing my class 12th... it started as acute migraine attack and i was packed away as i had several exams to be given.. when i was back, i came to know about the gory details and found my dad ridden to bed... it really broke me down, d behavior of my family.. hiding everything from me just because they didn't want to interrupt my education... Fine with me... Pop's health improved but by that time i had moved out of house... i went home during vacations but that was sparing...

its 6 yrs since i am out of home... i rarely go home.. i don't want to justify myself for not going.. coz thats me.. doing everything on whim.. popping a surprise visit then not going home for months... but i call home almost daily.. almost i say coz some times i might have slept off soon...

All fine... why this now suddenly... Pop got a stroke attack again.. it seeems the attack came a week back and damn they didnt l\let me know, AGAIN.. i had talking to mom daily but not a word she uttered.. she was all composed that i cudnt even recognize anything amiss... i had this something is not right feeling all week but i blamed that upon my own silly brain... how i came to know.. my stupid stupid bro texted me...

i am crying sitting in office for d past half an hour... for a change i am not bothered wat my colleagues wud think abt a weak Rat...  i am just not able to stop my tears.. i want to stop everything and be there wtih my parents.. want to kick my bro and sis for hiding everything from me since a week... kick my bro for his inability to handle the situation and for texting to ask my help... kick myself for being so away from my family for so many yrs...

JUst Just Just....

Sorry DS, DKV, PS, YA n S. .. i had just got the news and was crying.. cudnt respond to u guys...
Sorry guys.. if english,my incoherence and my grammar sucks in this post.. i just don't have d himmat to go thru it again..

random post...

coz my stupid brain is scattered enuf..... u want to know why... why that my head is throbbing with pain.. why i am sick in stomach... and why my teeny-weeny brain is unable to think straight...

Yday evening  JD of my dance class sent me this Text msg...

"Suppose i am a book.. Its still  Untitled.. U R given a chance 2 give it a a title... What it should be..??"

Funny question but liked it a lot.. wanted to know wat really ppl think abt me.. so, the Rat promptly forwarded it to a select close circle of friends... the response was mind numbing... some ppl yet have to explain.. and i know i ll make them cough up the reason :-)

gimme a pencil, paper and sum time.. this is wat u get... Part - 3...

Find my previous works here and here... continuing...

DaMn.........

Just when u are going thru a stupid phase and have lots n lots to discuss, both ur best friend's mobiles go plonk...

DaMn... DamN... DAmn......

a couple of rants.... random at that...

• i had accidentally subscribed to Hello tune last month.. unsubscribed it this month as i find this whole hello-tune/caller tune/welcome tune business a complete crap... i got this msg from the airtel CCC 

"Your HT subscription has been stopped & your callers will now listen to tring tring"

           Tring tring??? now seriously... what? why?

• the other day was walking back from shopping... a black cat crossed the path and all the traffic came to a freeze... it was like who will cross the path first... i was plainly irritated seeing the freezed group not only had oldies but a good measure of youngistan too.. i just crossed the same cat-crossed-path and i assure nothing untoward has happened to me still.... Gawd.. wen will these ppl learn... black cat..bah.. its plain superstition... slap slap slap.. grow up ppl...
  

Maa da ladla bigad gaya....

i laughed on so much that i had tears streaming out of my eyes.. and for a change i didnt glance at Vicky if he was enjoying it or not, seriously i wasnt bothered... i was having a huge ball of time after so long time...

right from John walking as a ..ahem ahem.. Amul Macho Model to the end... it was a complete laugh riot...  fell in love with Abhi all over again... the perfect timing and his humor sense carries the movie forward.. J does all but look dumb for most of the movie... Piggy chops looks bootylicious... Khiron Kher is really sweet.. being herself, advising PC to be strong and then accepting Abhi's choices.... LOL factor...

the Venice "story", immigration officer and lot many...Loved this comedy of errors...

and for heavens sake.. guys learn from Abhi and John (aka Sam n Kunal)... a lesson or two from them will teach u how to woo/impress a girl... i personally vote for Sam's way... so touching... sighs....

Go just watch it with couple of your friends... and drop that ugly brain of urs for dry washing if u are one of those critics...

another one...

Wow... Some tag i say.. really... now i can know all u folks better.. ;-P

 Ok... comments section is all urs..  kindly answer and as Saim says from the heart, in an unadulterated way...


 Here we go...

#1. Who are you?
#2. Are we friends?
#3. Something I have and you want.
#4. Give me a nickname and xplain y u picked it.
#5. Describe me in a word.
#6. What was your 1st impression of me?
#7. Do you still think that way about me now?
#8. What reminds you of me?
#9. If you could give me anything what would it be?
#10. How well do you know me?
#11. How do you see me in the future?
#12. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
#13. Are you going to post this in your blog and see what I say about you?

:-P  

So.. wats d big deal...

YUP.... i am just overcoming a ligament Tear.... and i am down with flu since d last 5 days... yday got an allergy attack and am on steroids now.... So wats d big deal....

PA @ class exclaimed "how do u keep going, di?"... i was like wats d big deal..

If u think a little virus and a tear is going to keep me tied down, U r terribly wrong.. Yeah i stopped cycling for the time being but i have not stopped anything else.. i still keep dancing, eventhough i look like a two-legged-froggy doing a hip-hop session... i still am freaking out till 1 o clock @ nite thanks to all my dance class friends... i still come to office,almost daily..almost daily coz i took off yday... But i havent stopped anything.... i say wats d big deal...

but obviously, i should thank a few... YA and PK do their level best to help me out... both of them have taken up to pick up and drop me every evening... PK makes it a point to dine with me every nite... YA keeps reminding me to go slow while dancing esp which involves jumps... i get numerous calls, texts and Gtalk pings from these two enquiring about my health, that i almost feel they keep an hourly check on me... I am so happy and thankful to you two ladies... u two make my day and i never feel alone now-a-days... to all others who are least bothered about me, esp my roommate K and her bf L, i say wats d big deal???

on a lighter note.. something my doc said yday nite... "jump around Rats... i know, that being confined makes the bubbly girl in you sick..." Aye Aye doctor...


So...wats d big deal...

Mega wishlist....

Re-collecting this list....  

i still want the Wooden Puppets, Kathakali Mask, Blue teddy bear and the resin thing.... Adding to the List,

i Want, i want and want :

•  a pair of fish... guppies will do... but please let your imaginations venture unknown territories in this area... :-P
• collection of Disney movies... have been trying to get this but in vain... Pixar collection will also do.. but Disney will be highly appreciated... :-D
  
• Collection of Tin tin Comics...my comic strip fav includes Beetle Bailey, Garfield, Blondie, His and lois, Archies and much more.. but Tin Tin is always my hero... ;-)
  
• Aromatic Candles... Anytime.. give it to me baby... :-P
  
• Turquoise Jewelery.. actually i am ready to get these myself.. but Mom says that turquoise being my birth stone it should be gifted to me... she and her superstitions... but who am i to question Supreme courts verdicts....  ;-D

 But i will be more happy if u cud help by donating at CRY or sponsoring a Girl childs education...
Donate here... 

And for Heaven's Sake avoid these :
- Ceramic Figurines... these are so old school.. puhleasee....
- Flower vases.. grow up buddy...think out of the box..
- Crockery.... last year i got so so much that i didnt even bother to open them.. so please enuf of this...
- Pen Holders.. seriously, this is the last thing, that the cluttered Rat will need... no no no...

 

So now u know what to give me(& what not to) come Dec...  mail me to get my address... he he he.... 

and yeah i almost forgot... if u are at Indore on Dec 6th by any stroke of luck @ 8 pm, do drop me a note... i invite u for the party, i will be hosting.. oh run Rat run.. so many this to be arranged... :-P

Ofcourse.... Flowers, chocolates are welcome anytime.... sheesh how desperate one becomes...

ahem ahem ahem...

Last week was on a call with mom.. as i was about to hang up,
Mom: so wat have u planned this year?
d Rat: Huh?
Mom: Arey for the Big day ma...
d Rat(still clueless): how much big day?
Mom: RAT!!! since u joined that demmed job u r forgetting everything.. its acceptable if u forget others bday but ur own bday.. that's ridiculous!!!
d Rat: (100 watts bulb moment) he he he.. (trying to save some dignity) actually i was thinking something else
 Mom: #@$%^ (Ouch! never knew Mom cud swear like that)

Later, i was busy trying to crack some complicated looking minitab files, S anna calls up
S anna: What u want this year?
d Rat: (engrossed in the file) Minitab de-coder...
S anna: WAT?? r u sure...
d Rat: yup... that's d sheer need of the moment.. Wait a moment.. why are u asking?
S anna: For your bday wacko..... don't say u forgot...
This time actually i didn't, was just messed up with work...

But a couple of days back... Shesha called up... after discussing Teddies, Ferraro Rochers, Shoes and  Knights & Walker, he was about to hang up. Suddenly,
d Rat: Hey Shesha, know wat? my bday is coming up...
Shesha: (patiently) then why d hell do u think i was discussing all ur fav things???
d Rat: __________


So to avoid further Foot-in-mouth moments and to remind myself constantly, i am gonna put up a wish list... then ctrl+c:ctrl+v the link n article to all my non-blogger friends as well...
 And even better, will get that excel file MJ created to remind himself about his wedding date... @#$%^ Like anyone will forget their own wedding... Talk about IT geeks...

 

P S: How does it feel to find that your dear friend had captured you in your own camera.. that too in a natural way when u were pretty oblivious to d situation... that too wen u were in your fav dress and regreting later that u forgot to click yourself in that attire.... YAAY...i certainly felt everything as in d collage...

I love you...

I love you. It's not a rope to tie u down. I love you. It's not a compromise i make. I love you. It's not a gift to be returned back. I love you. It's not because of your gorgeous looks. I love you. It's not a criteria to be met. I love you. It's not my life's base. I love you. It's not a fuss i create. I love you. It's not a spilt milk i cry upon. I love you. It's not a appeal i beg for. I love you. It's not a committment to be made. I love you. It's not so complicated. I love you. It's not for wat i want you to be. I love you. It's for wat you are. I love you. It's for wat u mean to me. I love you. It's for just being there. I love you.


P.S: Inspired by a random anon quote that iGoogle spit on me.

Lunchtime conversations...

d Rat: Talli hua talli hua... yaaron dekhon talli hua... (i got drunk i got drunk.. see friends, i got drunk) (random Hindi song)
M : D was only there for 15 min with u and i can see d effects...
D : Why are u pulling me into Rat's madness...
d Rat: (looking at D) Bewda tumi ho...(you are the drunkard)  (another random Hindi song with my own lyrics)


Everyone burst out laughing.... :-P  yeah yeah Rat is trying to sharpen her funny bone.... Failing miserably most of the times...

now thats wat i call Engrossing...

Saw this movie Italian job yday...  the title song got me floored first.. then the initial Gold pilfering scene got me out of my lounging-in-the-beanie-with-a-bored-look pose to a-sit-upright-with-eyes-unblinking pose... the ensuing actions kept me hooked on.. the one-liners left me yearning for more...

Awesome..Fantastical...  a movie i can watch any no of times...

Fav One-liners:

• I trust in everyone.. its d devil inside the people that i dont trust..
• There are those who steal to enrich their lives and those who steal to define their lives.
• The word ‘fine’ actually stands for: freaked out, insecure,nervous and emotional

Hmmm....

gimme a pencil, paper and sum time.. this is wat u get... Part - 2...

Part 1 is here...

A warm fuzzy feeling...

was blog hopping again today... Came across this girl... Girl! love your name.. know don't ask me why.... as i always say "Heart has its reasons known best to itself"  and coming back to the point loved ur post here... so i tagged myself.. here is my list...

Happiness to me is....

• 5 more minutes of sleep, esp on a wintry morning...
• being complimented u look nice, even when i make no extra efforts...
• a hot cup of Lemon-honey concoction, a book, my Bean bag chair and Jazz music...
• a walk in the park, with children running askew, old couples holding hands and smiling coyly..
• a ride on my bicycle,Camilla, in an empty road...
• clicking away with my cam, Nemesis...
• call from Wookie/ Shesha/ Home as per mood...
• a pencil, a  soft eraser, sketch pad and lots of time...
• a double scoop of Choco-Almond Fudge...
• sleeping in some-one special's lap...

And the biggest.....

• not having  a BaD HaiR DaY...

 he he he he... d last one was is not a true one.... so wat is happiness to u... lemme know...

Pearls from Wookie...

"Lightening, thunder, storm, heavy rain... all emotions of cloud are out..."

"Morning emotions..fights for water between neighbors... when they manage to get their share, supply is off... kids fighting and making faces not wanting to go to school, fathers pushing..."

"i had 250 gms of black grapes.. it has converted into wine.. n now i am drunk.."

 "How different are two ppl, one starving due to lack of food, the other due to lack of love?" (a post i did on this here)

and this dude claims he cant write, wat ever i say.... Wake up baby... u can write far better than u think...

Robbed in Broad daylight...

if any one wud kindly remember, November is celebrated as Quality month... i had charted a clear plan for the whole month with events ranging from drab Lectures to exciting Quizzes, Competitions and even an Industrial Visit...

A colleague from HR came in & took a look as the plan was just lying around on my table.. not even half an hour and a similar plan was shooted around by d HR dept... Talk about IP theft... i am fuming now...


Psst: I am in the mood of De-lurking.. so all u bloggers out there, if at all u get a comment from D Rat, Fear not... its just the harmless me...

Bend in the road...

Not because it was in-evitable... not because its constant....

But because i wanted...

Change from this

 
to

I think i need some flare, flame and more life...

Still, call me wat-ever u like...

This is me.... but something odd happened on Friday...

I crossed my fingers,involuntarily as i saw a mail van... but i uncrossed it immediately thinking "Wat are u gonna wish for, Rat??"

Its not like i have everything and i wish for nothing.. but i didn't feel like asking for anything.. till a couple of years ago, i always wished for the well being of a dear friend inspite of our many many fights... then after moving to Indore, i saw less of these vans, as my 6.30 am - 7 .00 pm schedule guaranteed that my life is confined to the 4 walls of my glass cabin(okss one wall is of brick)...So i was pretty happy to see this Shiny Red Mail Van... but shocked myself by uncrossing the fingers...

Deep Breath.... going thru this again, i still feel happy wen i see a pair of black birds... But my star gazing days are gone... i instead hit my bed praying for the sleep to descend on me quickly... i still make a wish before blowing out the candle but visiting a temple and 5 am dreams have become a rarity.. its 7 weeks since i paid Mr.Dutta a visit and practically i don't remember the dreams if at all i get any... And i don't give a damn about a broken mirror....

Sighsss.. how much u change in so much short period... i think i should spend more time to stand and stare...
