ELIXIR OF LIFE
Today was one of those few days of my life which will go down in annals of history as the day when I felt good. No, "good" is an understatement. I felt gr8,elated,exulted and intoxicated. NO, not jus becoz I had Vodka and Gin. Not becoz I ate to my hearts content after a very long time. Not because I was wearing a new set of clothes......... It was the thought that I was eating sumptuous food. It was the rush that I was drinking for the first time.It was the feeling that I am handsome and smart. It was for once that I felt free.It was for once that I did what I wanted to do. It was for once that I didnt care what the person sitting next to me was thinking.I jumped, I sang, I shouted, I acted as though I was having a hang over. This may not mean anything to anybody but it means the world to me............
"It is the obvious that we most easily overlook. It is the obvious that gives us HAPPINESS."
"METAL MOUTH"
It was in class 9 th that I became mo' conscious of my own self.......The mirror was never my prized possesion until then.Not that I really didnt care about dressing up smartly but there was a marked difference in the way I went about it having reached high school.It was then that I noticed them. Those crooked-asymmetrical-unaesthetic li'l white( read tartared-white) thingies were scaring the daylights out of me.At length, I resloved to visit that one direful person whom I never wanted to see. The very thought of HIM sent a chill down my spine.I could conjure all sorts of shuddery images of HIm masked and armed with his uncanny tools.The desire of getting those O-So-Perfect teeth finally vanquished the fright of my horrendous DENTIST.
I had prepared myself mentally and physically for the day of reckoning...THE D-DAY. He seemed to be pretty congenial at first which put me at ease.He began manoeuvring his tools in my open mouth as I endeavoured to keep my cool.After eternity he finally let the cat out of the bag.I could not beleive my ears."No,noo,nooo,noooo,never!", I cried to myself.I had to get braces put on for rectifying my malformed teeth.
After endless visits to his clinic and two whole years(GOSH!)I finally managed to sport my new 15 grand SMILE. Meanwhile,I had even managed to earn the hypocorism of "METAL MOUTH".But now it is all fine.Im jus always waiting to hear those two magical words which make the world smile,"SAY CHEESE"n there i go....flashing all the 28 of them.
My Alter Ego
This post is dedicated to my pal, CHINTAN THAKKAR.
Right from the day I first met him to the the time when Im writing this post .......it seems like ages since Ive known him. N how??? Well, both of us speak the same thing at the same time!!!!WORD BY WORD!! without any displacements, deletions or appendages wotsoever. Its not happened jus once ,twice or thrice for it to have gone unnoticed.Its happened umpteenth times.It may sound eldritch to u.Infact the two of us were rselves taken aback wen we first realised this fact.And now, it happens so often that v have given up on even trying to figure it out. Call it telepathy or a figment of r imaginations...it wont make a difference.If this is some SIGN , SiXTH SENSE or a FREAK of NATURE only time will say.Till then i guess we'll jus stay amused.Wot say,chintan? "BINGO!!!"???
The day that was...The night that will be
Today was a day which brought mixed reactions-the kind that take place in the chemistry lab in the sink.U dont even know wot happened.Its possible a gr8 discovery was gone unnoticed or may b it was just one of those unfruitful ones.Its pretty difficult to actually say.........well, y am i sounding so grumpy or rather cynical? Ive got a dozen reasons.The first six i dont seem to recollect n the next six r too illogical for comprehension by a human with a normal psyche.The truth,though, remains firm as rock.They are out there.Jus waiting for me.Waiting 4 me to open my doors n windows.Im helpless.I cant do anything.They drive me crazy and keep sucking my blood.YES! Im talking about "INSECTS" or rather "TECH INSECTS".They seem to get through every trap I lay for them.
"Put up a net", u'd say. naah! Doesnt work.
"Stupid guy! Use the mosquito annihilator as in the insect n mosquito spray". Thanx 4 the wonderful idea, but tht dusnt seem to deter these li'l green-black-brown-maroon-whot was tht shade-grey thingies , either.
Im nervous......sweating.....quivering......how am i gonna put up at night with mean-spirited creatures.Darwin was totally right when he said "Only the fittest survives" and in this case its but obvious whose going to survive.Before u pay your condolences, I want to take a moment to thank all my friends,family members, well-wishers,foes(if any) n these "luvly" creatures for being with me thru my thick n thin.......GOD SAVE ME.....AMEN....
