When I want to feel content I make a sandwich.
And for a little more contentedness – I add cheese.

Funny :)
'Don't run on the grass.' The old man said as the little girl ran around in circles laughing.

'But what's the point of grass if you can't run on it, (or eat it if you're a cow).'
I thought.

You can't be on both sides of me at the same time, I smilingly tell him.
He tries anyway.

"How's my pussycat??" :-)
"I'm not a pussycat Nanna, I'm a Marlene!!"


Even as a little girl; she was always her self, never anything else.
You script me into your life. I wonder how well I'll play the part. If I'll play at all.
It sounds like rain falling. But it's leaves.
Carry all your thoughts. Across an open field.

Kiran- Laura ask Dadda where to get kites in Cox Town.
Laura- Dadda where do you get kites in Cox Town?
Dadda- Tights? Go to that Crocodile shop. Why do you want tights?
Laura- Not tights Dadda, kites.
Dadda- You don't get kites anymore. It's not kite season.
Mamma- Why do you want tights?
Dadda- Put two broomsticks across your chaddis and make your own kite.
Kiran- I used to make my own kites. I think Rafi taught me.
Laura- Chee Dadda, don't be dirty. *Laugh laugh laugh*
Kiran- What did Dadda say?
Laura- He said put two broomsticks across your chaddis and make your own kite.
Kiran- Chee *Laugh laugh laugh*
Laura- See? You're laughing too!

It took less than a moment for the severing to happen. He never knew that we were attached in my mind. He doesn't know that we're not anymore. He doesn't know why.
I'm my Mother's secretary.
Who would have imagined that this is what I'd end up doing.
Who would have imagined that she'd get a secretary for free.

Most things aren't as in depth as they sound.
In case anyone was wondering.

It turned out that we were fallible, human and fallible. Even you.

He used to say something about lasting relationships.
And about taking things easy.
I'll never forget your warmth.
And relationships do last.
Even if only inside my head.

Happy Birthday boys and girls

I've finalized the birthday present list. As below.

-White pants (which don't look like Elvis pants)
-Green fake silk curtains (4 nos)
-Himalaya drug company kajal
-The box that never came


That's all.
She encouraged me to leave.
And so somewhat perversely, I stayed.
To watch the people that surrounded you.
To judge you by them.

Laura Pora & Maya Papaya

I told her that I crossed a black cat's path.
She wanted to know if the cat died.

Late; never


Lord K stood hands-crossed, eyes-scrutinizing, (or was it eyes-crossed, hands-scrutinizing?) over the construction mess in Dwarka. Once this magnificent palace was built the rest would be easy. Where was he at this time last year he wondered to himself with a smile. His pager beeped.

Back in Hastinapur, the Pandavas were now back in control. With the evil Karuravas defeated and decimated, and their shared trophy wife's honour redeemed, all was where it should have always been. The mood was generally lax, almost to a point where the bloodshed they were so happy to leave behind 2 years ago would now be a welcome distraction from their everyday... from their everyday... from their every same day.... Arjuna sat around dreaming about a princess he'd met in Manipur a few years ago. Where was his bow and his quiver of arrows? Was he a warriror or a god-damn day dreamer? Ah yes, he remembered, Dr. Evil had it. Where was Dr. Evil these days? His pager beeped.

In fact at that moment Dr. Evil was hurling abuse and invective at Megatron who was tearing off the San Francisco Bay Bridge and hurling it at Absent who was in his spaceship zooming over Dr. Evil and dropping neutron bombs everywhere. Their cell phones went off at the same moment.

All of them had the same message from Gonzo Garbanzo.

They were everything.
Everything I swore I'd never become.

If you didn't have that. You'd have nothing. You said.
Nothing to believe in.
How could I land the weight of my contentment on you?
Don't listen. Don't listen to me.
