Drizzles.

-
And she laughed in her silence, alone but heart-full, loud but slow.
With a voice at the other end, laughing but listening too.
She looked up from the dusty floor, from the painted toe nails.
Between the orange street light from across the road and the yellow balcony light from above her head, she saw the small drizzles.
So small, they couldn't be seen.
Yet so much, they couldn't be missed.
Watching the drizzles wave to her from right to left steadily, she grew quiet; she grew a smile.

You are happy now.. She was told or asked, with a voice so childlike yet so mesmeric.

And her smile in then silence amongst the drizzles gave an answer.

Vijay Mallya?

Vijay Mallya. The very IPL-ing name!! I won’t be surprised if many girls, ahem!! like me would want to swap places with him. I don’t mean the hot girls in swim suits in the back ground [I’m very much straight, Thank God] I’m talking about the cash in one hand and the kingfisher beer in the other hand. :P There have been times when G and I have discussed ways to get into UBCity (yea we agreed!! We’ve never been there!) and manage to flee away with tons of goods. P and I genuinely had a conversation on how to seduce (yea only seduce, he is old!) the kingfisher man and elope with his cash. We still need to talk about how to escape from his huge mansion with security guards at every turn. Umm..we should put our brains (and not body) to use here because no one will get seduced by girls with huge amounts of cash with them. Cash is the prime interest for any man. Agree right? This is all the non-sense talk that we only do :P we’ll be seriously serious at that time but deep down...

30

The only funny thing about turning 30, is the episode on Friends when they all turn 30. And by funny, I mean sad. And by sad, I mean meh. My only question is, what next? Turning 32. Oh, would you look at that, age is increasing while bra size remains the same. Turning 35. Girl, I think the One came. And came again. And left. Turning 40. Still cry to mommy about period cramps. Aww. Absolutely nothing is what is next. I have no more aspirations, or dreams, or all the things our beloved APJ stood for in life. While my motivation to get up from my bed remains the same (breakfast) the satisfaction of living throughout a day is dropping unrealistically. I finished The Hand Maid's Tale two weeks ago, beautifully written, and the fact that I could relate to woman of such deep emotions was surprising. But the fact that I ran to bookstore to buy the book's sequel the very next day, and to not read a single page from it since - alarming. Turning 45. yaar, mera ...

Leave out all the rest

Of misguided paths. Of dusty roads. Of unknown questions. Of revisited songs.  Of swings and curved slides. Of promises. Given and taken. Of drama. Lived and relived. Of words. Erased and written. Of love. And all that matters. Of days yet to begin. Of eyes yet to smile. Of dreams yet to come true. Of stories yet to be told. Help me leave behind some, Reasons to be missed. Will you?
