Journeys

This is an ode to my cab.
That's right..my cab. Well alright, my ex cab.
*Soft background music starts*
My cab, that has been with me through thick and thin.
The cab, that I stuck to, while it went through thick and thin.
The cab, which if had possessed eyes and ears, would have bawled like a baby.
The cab, which saw fist fights and wounds of war being inflicted on each of us.
The cab, which saw most of Chennai and many many movies on thirutu cds.
*Backkground music picks up volume*
The cab, which heard Margazhi Utsavams.
The cab, which saw many... *ahem* dramas unfold.
The cab, which saw breakfasts and lunches being stolen.
The cab, which felt the driver cowering behind the wheel, wondering if our company employed only zoo animals.

Aah...our cab.
*Background music softens again*

We miss you cab. I am sure you miss us too.

Frozen

Its been a year since I posted that. Guess what I realized when I read it again today?
I'm frozen in time!
I am still bored.
I am still stuck in a rut.
I am still whiling away time till I get to go to the foodcourt and watch IPL
I am still grrrrr.
The wise soul still maintains that life is round and reminds us of it whenever she gets a chance.
But there is one interesting development though....I am even more clueless and confused about what I want with my life than I was an year ago.
Can I ever get out the circle?

List of Things To Do Today

1. Plan to go late to the office, but change mind coz of vague movie plans.
Check

2. Somehow reach office much earlier than you usually do coz then it wudnt b ironic considering point 1.
Check

3. Gather a herd to watch a movie in a mall in the middle of nowhere.
Check

4. Stand stranded outside the mall coz all the tickets to all the movies playin in the theatre have sold out.
Check

5. Meet cousin you said you'd watch the movie with and give the uh-oh-i'v-been-caught-look like the dumbo i am.
Check

6. Try to shift+del 1-5 from my mind....
Am still working on it...

Sighs!

PS: After a foodcourt session just now, I realized my week of wat-cud-have-been started in mokka Mocha, the coffee shop that refused to serve coffee( and even more shocking..hot chocolates :O)

Oh my God! I'm back againnn!Ching ching cha chaka! :D

After a longggg stretch of vetti not being, vetti is bak (ching chinga cha chaka ching ching cha!)
Let me explain how the first part of my hiatus went:
Hey di di! Can you 'run' to the supermarket and get me this? i need it on the xth day of the wedding
Hey di di! Can you 'run' to the market nearby and get me this? i need it on the xth day of the wedding
Hey di di! Can you 'run' to Health n Glow n get me that? i need it on the xth day of my wedding
Hey di di! I have got ugly spots on my face di....how will I look like a blushing bride if my bluch is covered by spots?
Hey di di! I will not be able to wake up at 11am on weekends any more
Yups...a seperate day must be dedicated to the bride's sister or maid of honor as she calls me, for putting up wit the confised bride!
But hey...the wedding seems to have rushed by....i survived it...there were only 4 maamis who went 'Ur route has cleared huh? he he!'...she survived it..it all ended well..
So I should be relieved of the wedding jabber right? Nopes....somebody once said when one door closes, another opens...i think the doors actually stand for my sisters' mouths....yeah the younger sister stayed on for her vacation.
So how did the next few days go? Pikaachuuu! Kamaeyaaa maeyaaaa! DragonballZ! I enjoy the occasional Anime myself...but wow! Now dont get me wrong...shes not 12 yrs old as u'd expect her to be...shes 18! (I kno all u guys r itching to type 'u r 22 n still the same as her'..so i'm acknowledging it now itself n saved u the trouble of typing!)
Then started...aah! the full fledged era of the polar bear! The wise, wonderful words, speeches n phrases of our great leader, the bear as hes fondly called, cannot be typed here. Such is the beauty n wonder of his thoughts n actions! Whattey golden eraaa!
Right now, the iron fist has loosened a bit but too late....the dragonballZ maniac who now calls herself DoT is gone...and taken the laptop with her!
The married sister has just started going back to the office n is back with vengeance...now on phone
While I'm typing this, I look like the Hunchback of Noterdame minus the hunch...one eye bigger than the other...my hair looking like 2 generations of pigeons have hatched there...my spectacles(which i hate wearing btw) at the tip of my nose
Sigh! I dont know what is gonna drive me crazy now....the sweltering heat here in Chennai....or...wat the heck! you'l probably see me in the next episode of 'When Bears Attack'!

PS: the ching ching cha is dedicated to an orangutan i kno :D

Question Marks

How long does it take an average person to move on in life? I really gotto know the answer to this question....it might just prove to me if i'm retarded or not. Is it because of the endless, mindless monotony thats driving me to madness?(Yeah..even more than i was before....thr! i'v saved u the energy required for typing tat!)
Lately, I've been beginning sentences with 'I miss...' to much lately....like 'I miss going for walks after EC in my ragged 'bhavan' clothes during the spring season'...or 'I miss eating lays on the 3rd level of balli'. I seem to have made a habit out of it...
The funny part is..whatever I am coplaining of right now....I'd had much more to handle in Pilani....of course, my whole life dint 'seem' to depend on it...i say seem coz i am still sure there's more to life than going to work and coming back everyday....funny tho...it feels like tats exactly the only thing i do! Oh ya...thrs also the mindless staring at different colours of saris....n nodding n smiling wen u hafta...
I have worked for hours n hours together in Pilani...I've had my share of marathon sessions of tests.....I've had my share of arguments with ppl arnd me...I still giggle now as much as i used to before....but what makes me soooo desperately bored now? So bored that I cant even decipher what I have typed here in the past few seconds?

An Ode to the Gateway

I am currently typing this with rubberbands around certain teeth of mine (no, they aren't growing unmanageable hair..eww!). Yes, I am going to start wearing braces tomorrow. The dear gateway and I are going to be parted in a few months. Aaah the memories! Oh dear gateway, you have been with me all my life..through sickness and health, happiness and sorrow.
I will miss drinking through straws and eating lollipops in that oh-so-unique way that was possible only because of you. I will miss sticking chewing gum between the front teeth and grossing people out. I will miss showing off the '8th wonder' to the world.
OMG! What if the gateway is the source of my mokkainess (like chandler's third nipple?! ) Would it mean the end of these blogs?!
I shudder to think of it. We have very little time left to cage you, oh sweet, sweet gateway, but it's all for good (atleast that's what they say).
They say you are growing too big for me, gateway. They say pretty soon, you will gobble up the rest of my face. They made me imagine my face getting sucked into a warp of nothing, dear gateway.
I could never doubt you gateway, but it is time to let go(basically because I do not want to roam around a mundam).
Just know that no matter what happens, I still love you gateway, And I will always cherish the wonderful times we have had together.
Sighhhhh!

PS: No wise cracks about 'You are getting braces at 21? What? Are you...getting married?' shall be entertained. We thank you for your cooperation

PS reloaded: I am sorry I did not give a warning in the beginning to have you handkerchiefs ready, I know this is some strong emotional stuff
