Day 2: It's On.

By
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

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. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter?

The Truant Family!

By
The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?" She resumed her climb up carefully, so as not to tear her skirt. The trick was to choose the right branches.She had barely moved up one level, when she felt a tug again. She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...

The Art of .. Shhhh. Hang on, I Just Heard Something!

Here's the deal. Eavesdropping, if anything, in my humble opinion, is an Art. Before you judge me (Judging people is also an art. Another post.), have you ever noticed this section of the population, intently focused on your conversations, staring at you, especially in Public transport, dying to catch on to every word you utter, and making it blatantly obvious that they are, well, interested? They are precisely the reason why eavesdropping qualifies into the Art category. It's these immature people who make Pros like me cringe in my comfortable corner. Hence this post, where, you "Watch and Learn", the ART of eavesdropping. Lesson #1 - Act Uninterested Do not make it obvious that you are interested. Take a deep breath, let go of yourself, relax, and sit in a comfortable position. If available, a prop would be good (Explained in Lesson #2). Now, very casually, try to grasp the basics of the conversation. It will take a few minutes, but it will happen. Getting the drift...
