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.

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!

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 Battle of the Cities

By
"Aasmaan Se Tapka, Khajoor Ke Ped Pe Latka" How else would explain my wonderful vacation, moving from one hothouse called Delhi to another called Hyderabad? To be fair, I never thought I was going to a hill-station or Switzerland. But a cooler Hyderabad would have been so much more fun! Cities have their own ways of growing on you. Or of not growing, but clawing at you. Either way, you cannot ignore some cities. Hyderabad is one of them. 20 years, and our love-hate match continues. Day 1 is always the day of the bungle before the war. I emerge from the airport, all optimistic, with brushed up Telugu skills and renewed love for the hometown. Half an hour later, on the top of the long snake-like flyover, enroute to the city, the anger begins to kick in. Conversations with drivers. That's when I realize the war is on. I speak my posh, broken Telugu, and the drivers, their rude, unbroken Telugu. At some point, I try putting up a white flag and shift to Hindi politely. To n...
