I do weird stuff when I’m alone at home.

I have both the television and the radio on. But I don’t watch either of it.

I get busy rifling through my sister’s room, trying out her clothes, doing a lil number in front of the mirror.

Then I mix up some redbull with vodka. Dress up the glass. And drink it up in one gulp.

I pull out a hidden pack of weed. I make chili cheese toast.

Hmm

I make crank calls. Fix up a blind date.

I sing whatever’s playing on my playlist, really loudly.
I sing out loud, with my eyes closed, imagining I’m performing for a huge audience, millions of fans, with faces as anticipating as mine, looking at me.

I’ll feel high after a song or two, and have this sudden urge to compose something beautiful, something that’s a piece of art.

And I finally end up with experiencing a pseudo-inspiration and return to blogging.

I turn off my music and write in silence.

Alice’s dirty secret is out.

She likes breaking boys’ hearts.

It’s an art form that comes naturally to me.
She says.

Watch me close...

Drop the pencil
Bend down
Pick it up
Glance around to see if anyone’s noticing
A coy smile
Shove the pencil up in the hair
Take a sip
Run your finger along the rim
Get the eye contact right
Give him 'that' look
Take the pencil out
Let your hair lose
Toss it around
Tuck in a stray curl behind your ear
Put the pencil between your luscious lips
Take it out again
Play with it, while you show off your elegant long fingers
Flutter your eyelashes
Uncross your legs
Cross it again
Lean across the table
Reach out for the phone
A crisp n firm "Hello" breaking the silence
And that deadly laugh
Eye contact going strong

You’re done baby.
Rather, he’s done.

See that flash that flash in his eyes, a sudden tilt of his head and the undivided attention?
It’s quite obvious.

P.S.: You need to make sure the men are watching and pretend you don’t know they are ok? Trust me, it’s as easy as... faking(?)

Dear J, this is KURT COBAIN. Having listened to your prayers to me which you have so diligently been doing for so long, my doped heart has melted. I have therefore decided to return to earth for a short while just so that you can be happy. Being in want of a body to fit in my godly status, I have decided to take up residence in Madhavankutty Pillai's body. So please treat him like you would me - that is, with adequate reverence and lots of oblations and gifts. Call him 'mere aaka' and sing his praises wherever you go, always remembering that you are in fact appeasing me with it. Bless you, my devotee. Now, go and make me, who is in Madhavankutty Pillai, happy with all your will and energy.

Thanking You
Your god
Kurt Kobain, now Madhavankutty Pillai

Dear Kurt,

There's this guy knocking at my door saying he's you. Looks like he's doubled his shot of heroin for the day. Anyone who spells ‘Kurt Kobain’ cannot be Kurt Cobain. Help this poor ol' soul get out of it will ya?

Love,
J

Advertising is a much better way of writing a story than writing a story itself. (To each his own.)

But I believe, if ever one wants to be a writer (any form of writer), one ought to leave all the doors in the mind unlocked.

For a change I remember what I dreamt.
And I think I know why.
I dreamt about words.
The letters flew out from my lips.
They arranged themselves in the air.
Left trails of words and built obscure stories.
But I was spellbound.
With so many words around, why would I be at a loss of words?
But spellbound is a nice word.
It sounds as if there’s a word, wrapped in a spell,
A word used to hold another word in place.
“SPELLBOUND”
It makes me wanna smile.
Smile in wondrous amazement.
Smile at all the stories that swirl around me.
But I’m not smiling.
I’m awake now.
The dream is still with me.
The words are still whispering.
Teasing me like crazy.
All that they have are moments.
After that, the magic will vanish.
The spell will work no more.
And they know it.
Naughty children!
Don’t tease me, I tell them.
I love you.
I’ll give you your well-earned extra moment of fame.
I know what you mean.
I know how you feel to be in that feverish state.
I’ll give you words a life.
But promise me.
Promise that you’ll return.
Promise that you’d give me company when I’m old and lonely.
Oh.
But, I won’t need you.
I have Alice.

There's only you and me
In this desert of rock and rock
Rocks which undulate
Rising like dwarf mountains
Bald and ugly
Dotting the empty wasted earth
And all of them red
Sun red rocks baking in yellow forever horizons
Horizons which stretch with no reprieve
There is no hint of mercy here
This land is more than wasteland
And only you and me here
Walking towards water
Walking towards a colour
And the colour is green
We alone in this universe of nothing
Not even a sky, not even a wisp of white
Just red and yellow rock and ground
And we
Tired of walking but walking
For what else is there to do
And there, there comes Alice
A mirage, one more of them
Who vanishes with a scream
In the heat of this merciless sun
And we walk and walk

Alice is lost
Floating in her thoughts
The wind sends her flying
High above the city
Over the trees
Below the clouds
Through the stratosphere
On the moon
Towards the horizon
Into the great beyond
There’s a new planet in the solar system

It has grown stronger
Much stronger since the last time it called
Has Alice grown any weaker
Her blood still runs red
But this poison runs deeper
All the hatred must find a place to rest
Into the great beyond
There’s a new planet in the solar system

Pray to your God
Pray for your life
Pray for mercy
Pray till your knees bleed
Do something, but pray
Pray, cause you have no one, nothing, no time, no where to go
Alice is the only one who hears your cries, the only one who feels your pain
And you will feel hers too, in the great beyond
There’s a new planet in the solar system

God replies though his idiot child
To Alice who usurps his designs
And says the idiot child,
Blowing in the stale air a kiss, this:

Alice cant hear cries
She cant hear them
Cries are memory
And they happen in February
February is when Alice
With her valise
Goes for a winter holiday
But no planet is open
For I have barred them all
So Alice is rising in rivers
And sinking in skies
She flies on the earth
And comes out in quarter moons
Like a crescent of frozen buttermilk
But no planet for her, poor Alice
She is a trespasser and
prohibited and then to be shot
I will certainly shoot Alice
And skewer her in a rod
So help me my foster God

Sometimes the words come easily
They rush to the forefront of my mind
Pressing hard against the walls of my skull
Fighting with each other to see who goes first
They form a queue, get organized, desert the fistfight
Making their way to the nearest exit
Some step aptly down behind my eyes
Make their way into my mouth
Others slide down my throat
Gliding eagerly to the tips of my fingers
The rest fall to my heart
Pumping their way vigorously
Through my blood
Out of my toes
Some just love flirting around
While the lazy ones, simply sleep around
And sometimes
The words disappear
They slither into the nooks and crannies of my brain
And hide
Leaving a gray cloud in their wake
Talking to me in a language I don’t understand
Leaving an empty wordless trail behind

Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to be a writer when she grew up. She did become one, when she grew up, but not the kind she’d always dreamt about.
You see, she had to pay bills, she had to live, so she wrote to
sell.
But the girl was sad, because that’s not what she wanted to write.
She had people with stories inside her.
She had a whole lot of stories that filled her up.
So was so filled that the stories were nearly bursting out, begging to come out.
But she didn’t let them.
There was no room for them in the world.

Everyone's doing it, so why can't we?

That quiet girl in the corner there, she’s done it twice.
That big brawly ugly guy does it every single day.
They talk about it all the time, and I’ve got nothing to say.
Sure, I’ll nod and laugh along with them.
I’m good at pretending.
Like I know what I’m hearing.
They wouldn’t know.
But the truth is, I don’t understand a word.
Back home, as in the home away from home,
I’ll consult S and talk about it.
He’ll nod and laugh for the same reasons I didn’t.
And we’ll fight.
Fight because we love to.
I must loosen my grip on him.
Not because he wants me to.
Not because I want to.
But because I think I should.
We’ve got different ways to go.
At least I know where I need to go.
But he sure is getting the best of me.
O Boy, do I hate that?
And then he'd say:

Untie those laces, because a trip is just what you need to get back off-track.
You are a mess, but I absolutely love you that way.
Let’s soak up the whole place in sulfur, and then burn it down.
We’ll then go dancing on those rocky cliffs.
You can you fall off from the cliff in one your nightmares if you wish.
I’ll be the hero, risk my own life and save you.
And somewhere between the sky and a horrible death below… we’ll find some time to fly.

Yo, milady J, you aint helping my magic one wee bit. Dark talk will impress Madhavankutty Pillai, but if you want to crush Mr Crush then this is not the way to go. You can convert him later once the ensaring is done.

By the way, lots of cliffs on the road to Ladakh. Cliffs which run into moonscapes where there's nothing but moondust. That's the place to go. That's the road to heaven which then leads to Mansarovar where the swan princess has her palace in the deep of the waters of the clear lake. How about a journey J, to Mansarorvar through the moonscapes of Leh and Ladakh

When people don't "get" me, it bothers me a lot.
My strength: My ability to gain respect.
My weakness: Caring too much what others think.
My power color: Orange-red

10 delicate french manicured fingers
1 classy platinum ring

It doesnt take an ordinary Einstein or Pillai to remember it. Only a Madhavankutty Pillai can remember it. WAIT. You say you had trouble remembering it. So you cant be a Madhavankutty Pillai. Did you use magic to create your clone?

It’s getting boring in here, don't you think?

It’s time to spice up some lives

So…

I declare tomorrow as Panty Line Day!

If you get the mail, you’ll know what to do.

I case you forget, you’ll remember right after you see enough of horrid panty line faux pas to know what day it is.

*HINT*
If your lingerie is so tight that you have stuff bulging above them, and below them - do NOT wear them. It is NOT cute, for heaven’s sake. Buy different ones. Wear different pants. DO something, please!
And if you think you’ve lost a bit of weight and you’re really excited about wearing a smaller size in your pants, please… you do not have to buy them a size smaller to accentuate it.
And… bulging fat over skintight low rise jeans, movin n shakin over high heels… disgusting!


I think I’m skipping work tomorrow.

Oddly enough, that's exactly how I've begun to judge thinness. Overhang bad. Neatly pressed in, good; even if it just happened to be a larger piece of fabric.

How about the menfolk?
Couldn't you please announce an Underwear Day too? Imagine the marketing possibilites. VIP, Rupa, Tommy Hilfiger, big bucks there, I tell you...
Or you could have a Langoti Day and get the Vishwa Hindu Parishad footing the bill. But that would entail some risk. But then you know all about risk, dontya...

"Hey, can I join you?"

"Sure."

"It’s beautiful isn’t it? Just sitting here at this time of the night."

"Yeah."

"I mean if something this beautiful were to happen once in our lifetime, I’m pretty sure the entire building’s gonna come up to the rooftop."

"But no, people take beauty for granted, the sky, the stars, flowers blooming, leaves falling, trees balding."

"I’ll appreciate the hell out of this one. It’s my last time looking at it. With you."

"Me too."

"You ready?"

Some nights it just enters out of nowhere... through the back door, stealthily; hanging heavy like a cold winter wind, saturating the air, travelling lazily, through every room; filling up the air, gathering on the window, freezing and dripping down to the floor, following me in every step I take, filling my lungs, agonising my stomach, grabbing me tight and throwing me into the darkness.

Dear R,
Remember those years when you’d follow me everywhere I go… even to the loo.
Remember those days when you couldn’t sleep without talking to me on phone… even if its past midnight.
Remember those days when you’d go shopping for nail enamel to match my clothes… and paint my nails at the client’s office.
Remember that night when you bitched about me to her of all people… I don’t believe you did that… and you still keep coming back to me as if nothing happened?
Oh man, I hate you so, no wonder you are first on my list.


Dear Z,
You don’t look as good as you think you do.
And I don’t look as bad as you think I do.
You aint as smart as you think you are.
And I’m not as stupid as you think I am.
I wonder how you made my mom think you’re such a nice guy.
I wonder how you keep making up after all that double/triple/multiple crossing.
I’ll make sure you die single.


Dear S,
Thanks for screwing up my relationship with Z… well, actually I really am thankful.
After all that viscous venom spitting from me, I wonder how you do what you do.
Trust me, I haven’t ever seen anyone like you before. No one can be as desperate as you.


Dear V
The wait is over.
I tried, tried hard... not to be the super bitch... not then I realized it would do me more bad than good... and that’s all that matters to me...so there... here’s the negative outburst:
You suck! I dunno how I could stand you for as long as I did. Now I understand why people say I'm unbelievable! If I said I don’t like you it would be the understatement of the year. You are SO fake. Such a loser. Such a braggart.
Phew, I needed to get all that crap outa my system.


Dear G
I just love to hate you… hate to love you.
I need to figure out the most painful way to kill someone.
And when I do figure that out…
I’ll make you talk
I’ll make you give me the answers to all questions
I’ll make you beg for mercy… for life.
At least I’ll sleep well after that.


Dear R, V and T,
Fuck you guys. If I would haveta judge who’s the biggest ditcher of ‘em all… it would be a tie between you guys. And the best part is that you all keep ditching each other! Tsk Tsk Tsk


Dear aRKee,
You should have known better than to play pranks on a prankster baby.
I don’t hate you enough.
But I wanna do it just for the heck of it… for fun.
I think I’m getting addicted to it now.


Dear M
Don’t ask me why you’re on this list. Maybe because you wouldn't mind doing it for me?





That makes a perfect 10… the perfect 10 to kill. Ah, no… maybe I’ll add K instead of M. Hmm… yeah, that sounds better.

Forgot to ask this earlier, sorry:

R painted ur nails at the client's office. why? why at the client's office? why not someplace else? what's this new trick which no one taught me? what happens when someone paints ur nails? why would someone want to paint someone else's nails, of all things? was he into the nail polish business?

2:07 pm  
Blogger J said...

Well… u r late. But I’ll be kind to u n answer ur q bcuz u promised to send me a big carton of my fav chocolates.


R painted ur nails at the client's office. Why? R was this miserable soul who was obsessed with my nails. He was basically in love with them. He’d even cry if one of my nails chipped off. So our man, R, loved painting my nails.

Why at the client's office? Why not someplace else? He did that in the client’s office bcuz that’s the only place the 2 of us wud be alone, with nothing better to do. U see, I was never attracted to R. He was 2 yrs younger than me but looked 3½ years older. He cudnt possibly sit and paint my nails at my office cuz he was scared of being called my chamcha.

What happens when someone paints ur nails? He gets to hold my hand!

Why would someone want to paint someone else's nails, of all things? I dunno… ask R.

Was he into the nail polish business? No. He was into Risk Consulting.

i never had it and so i didnt lose anything. you had it and you have lost it. which means i have lost nothing and you have lost everything.
to explain further, consider that i never had any marbles and you had about one-half. now we compete and since i didnt have anything, i am left with nothing. so i am as rich or as poor or as marbleless as before. now you, who had a half of it, has lost that and so you are poorer by half and what more you are bankrupt. so technically, i am the winner though i have won nothing and am as marbleless as before.

so i win, says the rulebook. and you know what the rulebook says about disagreeing with the rules.
