the more convinced I am about his spineless character..
On second thoughts, he is just an example of how people mask their hidden agendas by pretending to be all spiritual and philosophical. The definitions of dharma, truth, love are all for others to follow and them to take advantage of.

On the second floor of a supermarket, in view of around 30-35 people, while chasing her little one who gets hyper excited on seeing an elevator door open and dashing just in time to save her from getting hurt!!
Oh and did I tell you that my back is still hurting from that fall????
And that I am still laughing especially when I remember the stunned faces of the spectators and the shock that must have been written all over me for I did not get up for 2 whole minutes!
And my daughter coming and hugging me! Now that definitely did help!

With coffee mug in my hand
I sit in the chair on my terrace,
connecting with friends, chatting with them
seeing their pictures and feeling their presence.
.
I tell them my joys, tears and dreams,
I reach out for advices, and their expertise.
Having filled my life with warmth and glee,
they are now an integral part of me.
.
Some of them are(along with their feed locations):

A dreaded thought enters my mind,
and chills me to the very core.
The prospect drowns me in deep sorrow
and I look above for some support!
.
The unfinished laundry beckons me now,
the mess in the house makes fun of me.
The incomplete projects look at me with pity
and compel me to just get up and flee!!
.
It’s only been a week since she is gone,
but my bones ache and muscles are sore
And though there is not so much to do
yet I can take this stress no more!!

Yes you can read my blog,
nod in approval or just tear it apart.
And yes, you can always pick each and every word
and through them peek into my heart.
.
I have no major issues
if you don’t understand what I say
But I would definitely take offence
when you depart from the decent way.
.
I had agreed to be put under scrutiny
when I decided to write and publish my inner thoughts
but I rigidly refuse to accept
your intrusion in my real world.
.
I want a simple, uncomplicated life
for time is running out for me.
And so I want you out of here
and my life if that can ever be.
(
Please forgive me for incoherence,
and ignore if they don’t make sense to you,
for I am as drunk as one can possibly be
to celebrate a certain dream come true.
)

Its difficult to let go
good times and good friends
But more than anything else
its hard to ignore the emotions spent.
There are ways and means
to reach out and connect
and thus make sure that
dreams like these never end.
The heart has put so much at stake
that it can’t survive this sudden break.
The ghost of past would haunt forever
urging and coaxing to never say ‘never’

The Answer is simple!!
When you can’t go to watch movies, you read their screenplays in advance!!
And that is exactly what I did. Reading Chetan Bhagat’s books gives you the same feeling over and over again…. you have already seen similar stuff in movies OR you are soon going to watch it in some new movie…
Also, you need something light and breezy like this book to get you out of timezone that is decades before the present – thanks to Saratchandra’s novels!!
