Did i do something wrong?
Time and again when i go into my infamous silence mode, where i am generally pissed off and whamming-banging anything that stands in front of me, people (supposedly) close to me, pose this question and expect a blunt edged answer to it. But most of the times they are met with a grave silence as a warning not to piss me off further.
This silence is something not many can fathom; it’s surprising how people who expect me to guess what their silence means fail to understand what it means to me. Guess what, it means i am screaming... it’s a blood curling scream, a wild scream, an animal’s scream, a scream in anguish, a scream of agony, a scream - my scream! My voice is taken away from me when you guys accuse me but what do i say when i want to accuse you, when i want to hurt you, when i want to go away from you!
Why am i so helpless when it comes to you guys, i am feeling strangled with the love i feel for you, helpless, angered, in pain! Am i lashing out for i feel that everything between us is going to end.

Every Man for Himself...
When i got the feeling that i was just a filler of void it hurt me. Void created from waiting in the corridor for the food to arrive, a break to stretch the neck and have no one to speak to, bored, nothing to do, in pain and no one to understand. What is it?
I get accused at times for being someone who doesn't call up, but i do. When i start doing it, people tell me - they forget so i should keep calling. When i call, i am asked to speak. Did any of you guys think that i feel like a telephone operator, a slave to your whims and wish? Don't you guys realize that sometimes even i feel like speaking and be heard? Didn't you ever get the feeling that may be i was waiting all day?
No one does.
It's truly said - "Every man is for Himself!" Only that i was too naive to understand. Even though i have comprehended the message, i guess i will remain an object for you guys for you make my life and then how long is it going to last anyway???

What do i want....
but then i realized what you were doing was just a natural reflex, since i was not helping you be with me, you were accepting and as they say it going with the flow. what was i cribbing about when it is you who is in pain. you don't even cry any more. the tears which i sometimes thought were just to get your way with me is what i miss the most some times. the moisture in your eyes, the streaks where the tears had dried up, the wet cheek, wet where the tears had just rolled by and then were smothered by my kisses. miss those days when i would brush the hair out of your eyes and hold you knowing in my heart that what ever it was if you were with me then i could make it right, set things to order.
but gone are those days... do i miss them and do i want them back. want back those days when i would be able to see the dreamy look in your eyes, the shy smile, the bold talk, the hesistation followed by a nervous yes when trying something new. yes i do miss them, but do i want them for ever!
when i wake up on these cold december mornings, i think how good it would be if i had your warm body by mine, me carelessly warped around you, feel your cold hands on my chest... would these dreams cease to exist if you were mine. will they whilt and die out or will they transpier into something more beautiful and addictive.
yes you are addictive, very addictive. sometimes i feel that i cannot make it through another day without you but then i have spent so many days away from you. what harm would it do to spend a lifetime away from you, will it kill me. truth is: i dont know, i can think of the worst or the best possible but i am not sure. you are a fatal desire and so i dont know if i want you or not.
when i was waiting for you today so that i could hear your voice i started imagining myself as you, waiting for me the way you do, looking at me as i walked away, waiting for a hug as you stood there not expecting it, crying and hoping that i would comeback, waiting to be held once as i hurled insults and painful words at you, facing all the problems and still meeting me with a smile. it broke me, made me feel so small and insignificant. i do nothing compared to what you are doing and bearing for me right now. you have the courage to let people decide your fate cause they own you while you keep loving me boldly. but for what... nothing. why do you want me baby?
why do i want you? why dont i want you?
i am troubled and not able to find an answer. i am sorry baby. i am so sorry. wish i could bring you real happiness, forgive me.

As you went away!
I do not know how they give you away... Decide a definitive time when you will leave them. Go away, may be forever.I couldn't!! I cried, I cried my heart out.It's painful you know... In travelling the streets that we travelled together. Looking in the rear-view mirror, thinking that if i looked hard enough maybe i could see you in the darkness, smiling back at me.I don't know. I am not sure of myself any longer. "Wanted you so much! Why aren't you mine?", is a question that lingers now.In a night when i would never expect to be with you, this silly mind hopes that you should be with me, as you travel far away. How far i do not know but my heart surely feels the distance. It's painful, I really do not know how to let you go! I couldn't, I never will be able to... Love you!
- June 15 2009 - As you went away!Love you all... Hope we all stay together! Woo... that is such a naive thought!

High Speed On The Highway On a Bike...
I guy in front of me was blah-blahing about "Euthanasia". I did not even know then what it meant. now the fear crept into me. i thought, "what if i get a topic, i hadnt even heard of! what will she think!". I panicked and i looked around for help, the idea of darting away from the stage crossed my mind more than once but my legs had turned into lead. My name was called out and i was to pick out a chit from a Goldfish bowl!! As i saw the bowl it reminded me of a fact that Goldfish have a memory of less than 3 seconds (No offense meant Mr. Goldfish, hope you remember that it has been proven to be a myth), i just hoped that people had an equally bad memory (again no offense meant!) and would soon forget the mess, that's me! Well i made the dip and the crumpled paper said "High Speed On The Highway On a Bike "!
I took a step to the podium and kept staring into her eyes. it was a strange sensation but it felt so good. it used to happen a lot then but then a lot used to happen in those lost glorious days of adolescence. i started to speak and it was no more than a squeak!! Eeeeekkkkkkkssss! What's happening....
While my mind dealt with the visual confusion and lingual inability, my heart was soaring on a gleaming machine in a different dimensional plane. there she was in a flowing white dress, seated behind me. The roads lined with greenery were a blur as we swooshed by them. the sky was bright and the wind scented. there was a breeze not the roaring wind. there was no adrenaline but there was a kind of romance in the scene that my heart had conjured as i looked deep into her eyes. I was so wound up in this world of my own that i missed out on what words my poor helpless tongue was trying to form. When the time was up, i saw her walking away.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I have no idea what made me write this today while she is far away, happy with someone else. No i did not have a tragic romantic entanglement with her, she was not that desperate... Hahaha... nor am i going to reveal who she was but do pray that she is happy in the life that she is so passionately making for herself.
Well what i can do tell you is what reminded me of this particular incident. As i made my way back from office last Thursday(17 December 2009), i was as usual cursing the bad traffic sense of people in Hyderabad (It's not bad, its freakingly f**ked up!), i had to slow down with all the traffic at the bottleneck near Khairatabad. The bottle neck exists due to a temple that just wont give up for the common good of all its devotees in the name of secular freedom. I chucked out all my traffic sense and got involved in a chase after a scooter snuggled up to my car door and left a lipless sneer on it. I was dishing out a carefully chosen platter of blasphemistic expletives to the Michelangelo when my eyes rested on a kid standing at the outer gate of the the temple beside her father as her (i wrote their but i guess she was sure daddy had bought it for her) bike got baptized. In her eyes, as she looked at her worldly possession, i saw the look that i had seen when she had her eyes upon me. A look of intrigue as she looked upon the her future which she was sure held promise!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An excerpt from my diary -
I met her eyes and the dying flames under the ember and ash leapt high once more... [12th October, 2002]And ya, she landed up in the evening wearing a exquisite white dress :) Still remember that it had made my day :)

Random thoughts!
i am trying to enjoy my life as it is now but people tell me that i am fooling myself. what is wrong about fooling myself if it feels good... tears will follow but what is wrong is smiling when tears are something that i cant escape! it makes me happy to see people smile when they act possessive about their loved ones and act bitchy so that they can bask in their attention. where does all of this go, where does it get lost! are we moving too fast... the love, the feeling of belonging, the feeling of time passing too soon, the feeling of being loved, the feeling of their breath on our cheek as they held us close, the feeling of their fingers in our hair as they roughed up our hair! miss those days! miss what i was then...
A few crazy things that people told me this week...
2) i spent less time in the game than what i spent trying to buy a shoe to play in it.
3) i guess i want to get married that is why i am not serious about anything in life right now.
4) I will sponsor the ticket to KL rest you take care. :)
5) ... there is no hope but let us not give up hope for there might still be some hope...
Guess more will come as life goes on...

It's cold...
Couldn’t sit at my seat any longer. Was not able to take the incessant blast of cold air down my neck. Had to search for something warm. Walked to my favorite spot in the office. The huge window which engulfed half the naked concrete city into its embrace. Yes it was warm here. Could feel the sun on my skin though the rays were bouncing off the skeleton of a huge structure coming up next to my place of work.
The view of the silent city, accompanied by the heavy and laborious breathing of the air conditioning system broken by its own thunderous roar as it cranked gears, might soon be lost as the skeleton structure, next to the building where i stood, put on skin of concrete or i might be long gone! Here it is warmer than the other places in the office and i come here when the cold creeps deep into my bones but today i feel cold, desolate and lonely!
My eyes wander the horizon aimlessly, i look from one structure to another as if one of them would raise an arm as we used to as children in a class. That bubbling enthusiasm is something that i am dying to experience again. But something else is killing me now.
The while of the air conditioning system is slowly dying out but it still breaths laboriously. It almost feels like its sleeping. As my eyes strain to see smaller structures in the distant skyline checking for telltale signs of life, my mind is conjuring sounds of approaching footsteps, laughter and screaming kids. i turn around each time the din in my head grows loud enough and sure enough the sound dies out as if i were in a vessel sailing away fast from all the fanfare at the shore.
No the warmth from the sun is not enough today to drive the chill from my skin. I feel... umm... insecure, may be for the first of many times that are to come. Now i know how those thousands had felt when their work place just shut the doors on them. No it is not that bad yet for me but my stomach churns with the thought of what it might be this time tomorrow.
Very lonely and scared but i know there is no one in this world who can console and support me now. I don’t want to seek one now. i guess it will be me and the city in slumber under the October’s lazy afternoon sun and the laborious breathing of the air conditioning system.

The Wall...

Surprised! There are so few of them out here... but they are mine!
Life seems so content, at this moment. A loving mother, a dotting father, the love of my life so close to me & a sister who is nothing less than my life herself. It can keep this illusion up for a while if i tried hard enough but then my mind fatigues and just gives up shatters the fragile string of images into a million pieces. Not that the love won't stay but it will fade for sure and will be lost. i am happy about all the love that i am getting at this moment but what hurts is the prospect of all of it being snatched away in moments when i am the weakest.
Yes, i will live again and i will be up and smiling. Yes all will be fine and there will be things that will be of greater importance and urgency at a later point of time but i wanted to put what i was feeling now so that later when i see this note, i remember what life was and what i had. for the future that will be a present some time to remind me all that i have at present that will soon be the past.
love you ma
love you baba
love you dadabhai
love you swapna
love you kanna
love you all...
P.S.: There are other people who are worth a mention and who are really special and who i love but though i can't quantize what i feel but surely its less. Raj, Atul, Sreeti, Roma & Tuki. Love you guys too. May it will be very late by the time you see this post or you might just not see it ever but i will love you. i know i will because i always have whether you were near or far!

Two new words that i learnt on a Sunday Morning!

7 lessons I learned this week
1. How to avoid embarrassment from a yawn. My college professor’s tip on stifling a yawn in class helped me avoid embarrassmant during a couple of meetings and consultations I did at work this week. When I felt like yawning during one meeting while seated across the company chair and vice chair, I recalled the tip and breathed deeply through my nose. That one deep inhalation prevented me from the humiliation of yawning at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I learned that yawning is actually not because of boredom or fatigue; it’s a way for the brain to cool off after periods of intense activity. Inhaling deeply through the nose sends a wave of cool air to the blood stream, lungs, and eventually the brain, enough for it to cool down and command your system not to yawn.
2. Cover first, flush second. I was told that when you flush the toilet, particles of water including E.coli bacteria, which causes gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections among others, spray up to the air and land up to 20 feet away. Thank goodness I always wash my toothbrush before putting toothpaste! :)
From now on, I’ll switch my habit: cover first, flush second in any toilet I use. This is one small effort to avoid getting sick and help clean the air. Haha! If there’s no cover, I’ll probably just suspend breathing until I’ve washed my hands and stepped out of the restroom! Hahaha! ![]()

3. White lies work best when your boss is over 50. Part of working smart in the 21st century is being ready to tell a white lie at the most appropriate time. And to a boss who’s showing early signs of Alzheimer's. The good thing about a white lie is it’s insignificant to become the boss’s top-of-mind during judgment time.
Am I sharing this based on my experience? Hmm, partly yes, but mostly through direct observation of others. Hahaha! ![]()
4. Sitting down or lying down after a meal does not make the tummy bigger. Thanks to the latest issue of Men's Health, I’m now enlightened that sitting down or lying down right after a meal has no scientific link to a bigger belly. I’m sure you’ve seen people who consciously (in fact, with soooo much effort) not to sit down after a heavy meal, claiming they don’t want to have bulging tummies as if the mere act of sitting down is the only cause of unwanted bulges.
I remember having been ”advised” several times in the past by friends and relatives when they see me slouching comfortably, as if it’s a mortal sin to sit down after enjoying a good meal. I’ve always hated the reasoning. Now I have more good reason to hate it even more and not heed the advice.
5. Get insurance only when you’re over 25 and have a full-time job. Getting insurance can be tricky because it takes some good amount of faith to trust a company with your savings, not to mention you need to have the maturity to value hard-earned money and appreciate the worth of an insurance. When you are too young (say 21), fresh out of college, and just starting out your career, you’re most likely very selfish and prefers immediate gratification from your salary. And I bet you will only get insurance because your bestfriend’s mom, or maybe your boss’s wife, or your ninang’s amiga, sweet-talked you into it like the trained agents that they are and you were too shy to say no.
At 25, you are more or less established: you have regular income; you understand what inflation means; you’ve become so bored at work and so pissed off with your boss that you always daydream of running your own business, or doing the same investments he’s doing because you see him enjoying it now. So even before 25, learn everything you can about insurance so that when you’re mentally and financially ready, no agent can fool you into buying an insurance you don’t really need. I’m really speaking for myself here Hahaha! ![]()
6. To know people better, go see their home. My officemates and I went to the wake of a colleague’s father last Thursday and I was surprised by her family’s living condition. It was worse than I expected. Despite some hints of embarrassment with us seeing her in her place, she was very warm and so was her family, and I felt they were all genuine. I think we in the office now have a better appreciation of our colleague.
Seeing co-workers in their home with their families is meaningfully different from seeing them in the office wearing their titles; it enables you to understand their attitude and behavior, to fully know “where they’re coming from”—figuratively and literally.
7. Always make room for surprises. And this is why I’m leaving no. 7 blank because I’m leaving some room for any surprise lesson from what’s left of my weekend. If there are no surprises tomorrow, then you can say I learned my lesson. ![]()

Bangalore and back...
Wake up and walk on the roads infested by dog to have breakfast...
Go to the Udupi hotel where it was difficult to understand if it was Hyderabad or Bangalore...
Listen to Angel and her friends chat away about there day ahead...
I so want to go out and have a glass of that sweet sugarcane...
Walk on the footpath as the warm sun beat down on my back...
Smile as i see the orange color of the now familiar building...
Look at the gait of my child as she jumps and bounces in front of me...
I know i shouldn't but Kiddo thanks for being there for me... Love you...
