When you get tangled in some particularly adhesive spaghetti, it’s difficult hacking your way out.

Wish I could forget that some stuff existed.


29th June. Guitar. Acting. Mahabharata. Rallys Sport. IIM. Broken nails. Missing rings. Missed calls. Brands. SMSes that can’t be deleted. Long drives with lotsa beer. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Norah Jones. Gyaan. Mail backs. Monday evenings. Bacardi. Black lies. Darjeeling. Ciggies. Dogs. B/W photos. Desperation. Cross. Blue. Tom. Diamond rings. Parties with common friends. Lipgloss. Walk on the beach. Silly goats. Boatclub Road. Shell-shaped chocolates. Wills. Karaoke. Empty words. Scotch on the rocks. The wall. All night phone calls. ash trays. M2Ms. Pregnant pauses. 9880766888. Tears. Broken hearts. Sighs.


Or at least gimme a Ctrl+Z.

Girl... awesome post... BUT, you made the biggest mistake of yours or someone else's life by putting that phone number up in public.
Some crazy fuckers are gonna think it's your number and man... are they gonna call a hundred times.
Whoever's number is that has had it.
YTou're smarter than this i think.

J... i think every one of us have gone thru similar phases of life... and *sigh*... is the only thing we do...

some philo: i know it's difficult to cut the past and get ahead... but i found an interesting way to get over it... start dreaming... dreaming BIG... out of the world... (atleast in my dreams i am at the top of the world!)...
caution: when u wake up... reality bytes ;)

I woke up this morning with this really nice song in my head.
It was running on the tele.
Dad liked it too.
Mom liked the surfing.

It’s the kinda song that keeps you humming the same tune all day.
It’s the kinda song that ‘he’ would like.

Try listening to it, without actually listening to the lyrics… it’s like this nice feel-good song. But it’s negative in a way.

I dunno why I like it actually.


I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I’m looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

Yesterday was one of those days. You know those days when nothing’s really gone wrong but you are still low. It was one of those times. Nothing could have stopped me from crying.

It’s when things you don’t wanna remember, don’t leave your mind.
You get on to your negative best.
You lock yourself up in your room and loo, every ten minutes.
You want to be left alone.
But there are people all around you.

It’s getting more and more difficult to pretend
To act as if nothing’s gone wrong.
To cry from within and smile on the outside.
And more so because these are the people who really matter. The only ones who care.

I’ve told myself a million times before that I’m not going to let this happen to me again. But I know it will. I can see it coming every time.

It hurts to see people around trying to cheer me up and stuff. It’s no fault of theirs. But it’s not mine either.

I’m falling.

It doesn’t matter how or why.
What matters is that I’m dropping like a rock.
Accelerating at ninety point eighty nine meters per second per minute per hour from thirty thousand feet.

That’s a funny way to put things down aint it?

I’m feeling funny today. As in giggly n funny. Which is quite a change from what I’ve been all of this week.

I wanna get into a fight, go on a giggling spree and repeat every word my boss says – all at the same time.

Woohooooooo! What am I blogging for?

And I'm losing my favourite game

I’m losing my loneliness
My popularity

I’m losing my appetite
My contentment

I’m losing my sleep
My consciousness

My mind
My life
Myself

Again

Late nights are not my favourite part of the day anymore.

The pills make me sleepy. Or so I think. But they are just supposed to be tranquillisers.

I sit in my couch and dose off…with the radio blaring, with some soap running on TV, with a book in my hand.

I am forced to stay awake and open the door. It’s when the bell rings endlessly that I even hear it, open the door, force a, “hey, you’re back. I’m too tired to talk. G’ night! Mwuuuuuaaaaaah.”

I drag myself to bed and find that I’m more awake than I was a couple of minutes ago. Sigh!

There is silence in the air. All I can hear is the clock ticking and myself breathing. I count sheep, meditate, stare at the ceiling and finally fall asleep.

zzzzzzzzzzz

My dreams are getting more and more disturbing. Actually negative. Very negative.

I wake up the house with my blood-curdling scream at 2 in the night. Mom asks, “what’s wrong with you? What did you dream of?” I make up a story. Making up such stuff comes naturally to me now.

And the worst part is that I remember them when I wake up. So the negativity kind of lingers on. Follows me throughout the day.

It’s funny, but life was so much better last week.




Aah, but that’s just a fragment of the whole story.

Thankfully, my dreams are usually very interesting with better storylines than most bollywood movies but sometimes I dream of scary big animals who are out to eat me just like in those cheesy creature flicks.

I swallowed gum!

I hope it doesn't stick on to my throat and choke me to death.

I don't mind dying, but I don't wanna die today. I don't wanna die single. With nobody to cry for me.

But maybe I will. Cause I feel particularly non-flirty these days.

I think I’ve never looked worse in the last two years.
I haven’t gone shopping for ages.
My hair has given up on me.
My nails seem to have gone yellow.
I think I have dark circles, due to lack of proper sleep.
AND I feel fat.

I think I suffer from the Bridget Jones syndrome.

Maybe I really am gonna die single.
Maybe nobody will discover I’m gone until the credit card guys knock my door to collect their dues.

I like this feeling. I’m finally behaving like a girl! :-))))

I can’t decide which of these I like better:

~*~ The way good fudge melts in my mouth, and my heart tells me it’s good to be sinful.

~*~ The fuzzy feeling when a cute guy smiles at me at the end of a really bad day asks for my number. And I say I don’t have a number where he could give me a buzz.

~*~ Walking down a deserted road, alone, after dinner. A head full of thoughts and a tummy full of food.

~*~ The uncanny feeling that I’ve lost a couple of inches in spite of putting on some weight… turns out to be true!

~*~ Waking up from a fairy tale like dream with my sixth sense telling me something nice is waiting to happen.

~*~ Discovering that the top I’ve been searching for two years wasn’t lost after all, and it fits me perfectly too.

~*~ Seeing my favourite song on TV after a long day at work. And play a rockstar, by waking up the building at the dead of the night.

~*~ The anticipation of a weekend free of everything I dread doing.


Though I know none of these will ever actually live up to the promise, but the possibility is something worth savouring.
