Rainy days are back again!

It is that time of the year. June. The first week of June rather. It is supposed to occasionally drizzle, catch you off guard without your umbrella but nothing more and nothing less!!

BUT, now does that ever happen?

Ofcourse not!

The day you decide you want to wear your pretty white skirt, team it up with your favorite leather or grass chappals, voila; not only does it rain, it pours!! The winds howl like mad, there is an awesome dust storm before it all and then the sky just opens up and pours unto the end of thy patience! Always does. You get bored waiting, the mall doesn't have much to do, the ice cream in your hand is melting and you want to get home as quickly as you can!! However, since home is only five minutes away, you bargain with yourself saying that it is a waste to catch a rickshaw and you negotiate with yourself until you see the family pack dripping all the amazing ice cream into your bag.

So, hurriedly you run towards the rickshaw stand, getting wet in the rain and trying to convince the stubborn asses to drive you down to your place! But they staunchly refuse, laughing at your plight! One would have thought you were asking for a free lift! It is not like you refuse to pay!!!

So, by this time, you are soaking, because it never rains, it always pours! The ice cream is almost gone and so is your interest to wait for the rains to subside! You are dripping wet and the air conditioner in the mall isn't going to help your cause! You decide to battle the howling winds and you decide to battle the rains too!! You walk, you progressively get wetter, some ass drives by near you trying to catch a glimpse of your legs (skirt rem'r?!) and ends up splashing water from a puddle all over you!!

Aaarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!


By this time, you have given up on yourself, everyone else had given up ages back; but then again, do you get the last laugh??

NO!!

Of course not!

Then, who does..???

Mother Nature as always!!

It stops raining, the skies clear out, the sun shines and you can see a rainbow!!

DIE RAIN DIE!!

We need you, but we don't like you! Not now, not ever! :(

I miss summer.

You are THE most important thing in my life!!

Scene 1:

A cute girl exits her building. Just checked her beautiful makeup. 'It is ze perfect', she thinks. Walking. Still walking. Just then, the faintest little frown crosses her seemingly flawless forehead. The frown deepens. She checks her pockets. More like caresses them. Suddenly, all pretense undone, she starts digging into her tote with a voracious urgency. Diggity. Diggity. Pauses for a deep breath. More diggity.

'Aaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!'

'Not again. How could I left my phone at home again?'

With an almost ridiculous sigh, all the vanity forgotten, she runs back towards the building. How she manages that is lost upon me because I have never seen anyone and I repeat anyone running on heels that look like they are a quarter mile long!!

*She emerges out of the building 3 minutes later with a glorious look of achievement. All vanity back in place. A priceless gloating look on her face. She hustles for a cab. Triumph etched on her flawless face.*


Scene 2:

*BEST route no. 521. Happens whenever the lady in question boards the 8:20a.m. bus. I'm always thankful when she doesn't. I'm in the grumpiest of moods, the day I have to sit with her or vice versa.*

This starts within minutes or even seconds after the BEST pulls out from the depot. Ever since she got herself a new cell, she can't stop yakking. Most of the conversation is in Marathi. I try very hard NOT to eavesdrop but she is way too loud for me to block her out.

Most of the conversation is inane. Enough to make you wish either you could shut her up and sometimes when it gets too unbearable, that you could walk to college....!!!! Mindless things like what are you planning to wear, silly gossip, lunch woes, family problems and of course the damned beau trouble!!! It is an everyday story. I'm starting to get familiar with the names of family members and the cute guys in her office!!!

*Rolls Eyes.*

If you had a peon called Snehal, a male peon that is... Even you WOULD be grumpy!!!!!!

*I kid you not, it is the truth...!!!*

Scene 3:

*In the shrillest tones ever!*

Tring. TRING. T-R-I-N-G....!!!!!

*Oh! Pick up already, I silently curse. Why have a phone that you refuse to answer...???*

The man in question is still staring at the phone. TRING. Finally, an eternity later.

'Hull-o'
'Who is speaking?'
'Uh-huh. So who gave you my number?'
'He gave you my number? Are you sure?'

*Listens to the reply. An impatient look crosses his face.*

'And you are telling me that he gave you my number??'
'But why would he give you the number? I told him not to give my number. I don't like being interrupted.'

*This of course is happening in a BEST. Interruption my ass...!!!!*

'But again, Sir, you never told me why you called me.'
'Uh-huh. But why would he give my number?'

*This silly conversation carries on for another 6 whole minutes where the man in question doesn't give the caller a chance to explain why he has called!*

Suddenly.. An awestruck look crosses his face.

'WHAT? My wife is in labour..??!!!!!!'

*Amen.*

Happy Happy... Happy :) :) :)

Whose to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lose your self-esteem along the way
Good god, you're coming up with reasons
Good god, you're dragging it out
Good god, it's the changing of the seasons
It feels so great, so follow me down and just...

The short story of a miserable weekend.

I stared intently at my phone. I willed it to ring. I prayed a little even. Why won't you ring? Please ring. Please. I need you to ring. I need you to tell me that people still care. That they remember you when you don't call. That you are giving them a chance to be the caller for a change. Please ring. Dammit.

Another weekend come and gone as usual. No calls. A couple of insignificant smses. If I don't call you, do you forget about me? Am I so easy to erase out of your mind? Out of your life? I had recently gone to my friend's fest. Ya, I went there to enjoy. Instead I found a gloomy and depressed friend who refused to meet up because she was busy. After that she was in a surly mood. SIGH. Talk about manners. And to think I was invited there!!!

I haven't been calling you for a couple of days. And when I do, you have been cutting my calls or been telling me that you are busy and that you will return the call later. Did you? I really had something important to say. Do you know what it is? How would you know? You didn't bother to find out. I'm disposable. I'm always there when you need to talk come hell or high water. Could you say the same for yourself? Of course not. You would much rather fraternize with the enemy but not me. Easy, am I not? Easy to get rid of. Easy to chuck out of your head. The next time you need someone to cover up for you, maybe you should call your friend of fifteen years. But you won't, will you? She won't help you in situations like this. For all the shoddy work, I'm here, disposable and gullible as ever, because I care. Because I would do anything for friends; no strings attached. Use me and throw me way, break me up with your indifference, maybe the next time you turn about, all that will be left of me, is a hundred little broken and indifferent pieces.......

Uncomprehendable stashes of randomly weird thoughts.

Compromise. Understanding. Being there. Taking one for granted. Love. Pain. Misery. Bitterness. Happiness. Anger. Envy. Jealousy. Friendship. Commitment. Loss. Hope. Touch. Visions. Separation. Laughter.


Why are we taken for granted? Why do we deserve more than we get? Why does everyone else promise to give us what we deserve? Why do most of them not live up to that promise? Why do they not understand? Why does hell always seem to be by our side? Why does everything happen at once? Why can't we control situations? Why are promises broken? Why is trust lost? Why are little things so disturbing? Why can't we block the disturbing things? Why is change so painful? Why do things change? Why can't we choose for a change? Why do we have to accept what comes our way? Why can't we formulate our own formula for happiness? Why are happiness and pain a part of the vicious circle? Why can't happiness occupy a greater part in that circle? Why does everything come at a cost? Why isn't life simple? Why are we expected to learn from our mistakes? Why can't we already have the learnings imbibed and hence not be prone to mistakes? Why do all good things come to an end???

nine parts of Desire!! :D

More like nine parts of Disaster...!!!!!

I didn't bring the new year on a good note...

I wasn't well.. Cold, cough, fever, body ache and eye infection.

DAMAGE: I didn't give the Maths 5 paper today. More like, one KT free with the new year.. *sigh*
Depressing isn't it?? I mean I studied for it and then mid way through realised that it is just not gonna happen.. A big blow to my much anticipated KT free year.. *Sighs louder* yes, i have been depressed about this for the last couple of days.

New year came and went, all it left behind, etched behind a wall of tears was the loss of hope.

DAMAGE: Joel left today for UK. i won't see him for another 11 months odd. It pinches coz he was here for like 5 weeks and i hardly met him for 5 days. Ok, it isn't entirely my fault. He came one day before my exams started and left one day before they got over. The 12 day mini vacation i got in between was my best hope to catch up with him, but sadly; that didn't happen. He went to Kerala for 2 weeks.. AArrrggghhhhh!!!! Upon returning, he went to spend New Years at Goa. I can't crib much, because i came up with the plan for New Years at Goa. Sadly due to Mumbai university, I couldn't go. It is okie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I shall have a better vacation, somewhere, i hope.. I miss him... :'(

He did give me a reindeer though!! *big wide grin* It has this permanent "OMG, WTF did u do?" expression!! :D :D :D
Now, everytime i miss him, I go give the reindeer a hug!! :D :D :D



Apart from that, I have started reading again, a lot of reading.. i'm trying to keep myself sane. There is a lot I can't put in here, because it is a public blog. I know you are reading, just drop in a prayer or two for me. To keep me sane. And happy.

I did realise one more thing,

Happiness comes with a price. It is not free. Shine on you crazy diamond. I still care. :)

GRACIAS :)
