Day 2: It's On.

It's 11:10 pm and I almost slept,
When I remembered the promise I hadn't kept.
The promise of writing a post everyday,
So here we go again, yay!

I wonder, why it is so hard to write?
Why doesn't inspiration always strike?
Why, in our day to day lives, 
Aren't there villains wielding knives?
Why aren't there encounters with a scary dragon,
And maybe a rendezvous with Aragon?

If my life were so exciting,
It would have been written by Tolkien.
Made into a series by Netflix,
Binge watched by all you TV addicts.
And I would've been laughing my way to the bank,
Only the Kardashians would have gotten my prank.

But, I promise, I would not be overjoyed,
Or amused seeing you annoyed,
At your irrational addiction to my story,
Shown in hi-definition in all it's glory.
I get it. Binge watching's a bummer.
Months go by and it's already summer.
And you didn't realise because
The "Next Episode" started without a pause.

I could never do that to you, I swear
Make you addicted to the story I share.
To spare you the trouble of this,
As exciting as my life story is,
I have decided to tame it down,
So I am not the talk of the town.
And you can get on with your life,
While I go back to being a wife.

Tomorrow's post will be better,
Who knows, maybe a love letter?
I don't know, but I promise you this.
If you don't watch this space, a lot you will miss.



Sorry and cheers!
Preeks

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was

Drumrolls and All That

In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether.
