Day 26: Today and Tomorrow Me

Image
By
After much consideration, I have come to the conclusion,
I am made up of a two personality fusion.
Let me introduce you to the two parts of me.
My Today and Tomorrow Personality.

 Today Me is wise and thinks about the future.
Tomorrow Me is lazy and has a good sense of humour.
Today Me knows that tomorrow I must exercise
Tomorrow Me decided watching a movie and not gym is the best choice.

 Today Me set an alarm to prepare for the marathon.
Tomorrow Me snoozed and got back into bed with a yawn.
Today Me has decided we are quitting social media, it's done.
Tomorrow Me, scrolling through Twitter told me, one more day hurt no one.

 Today Me read an article and decided to amend ways.
From tomorrow, we are eating healthy, no more junk food days.
Tomorrow Me was prepared to act all wise.
When it got distracted by the image of cheesy french fries.

 Today Me told me, you are watching too much TV,
From tomorrow, you are reading books, we end this watching spree.
Tomorrow Me smirked and asked me innocently,
Tell me, how do you stop watching when it says, recommended just for me?

 Today Me believed the writing challenge would be great
One poem per day should be an easy to achieve rate.
But here's where I think with Tomorrow Me I agree,
Today Me with its lofty dreams, sometimes just has it to easy.

    Pretty much summarizes what is me as well. I would have included "Today" me is a good planner. "Tomorrow" me is a good postponed.

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

By
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

By
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
