Insatiable

I draw aside my window curtains to let in the bright morning light
One look at the clock tells me it's not morning, but night,

I take a look out of the window surprised at natures ways
oh what a pretty sight, isn't it like i dreamt always

Trees with no leaves ,neither shrivelled nor dried
With the promise of a full bloom, so they can show off with pride

The sea beyond seems asleep, so steady and calm like a lake
not like the one back home, rumbling, roaring and so awake

The birds seem to have the same chirp, the same way they twitter
They wake me up every morning, never have I seen so many together

The strangers on the roads are not very friendly,
but, they neither push nor jostle nor speak to you rudely

Peace is what I yearned for, yes that is true..
Happy and content, is the way I would seem to you

yet, satiety is just an arms length away
and as I reach, it seems to stray

I realise , insatiable is the human soul
how much ever it has, It always wants a little more

Not at that age!!

I came across an advertisement last week where a little 'bespectacled' girl asks her dad if she is not pretty. Dad replies 'of course beta' without even looking at the kid. and then she says 'but nobody looks at me' . they show her talking to a little guy and he does not even look at her. So dad gets a car and takes the girl on a ride and everybody starts looking at the car while the poor little one believes everybody is looking at her (every body's ogling at the car). And she goes 'Am I so pretty)

Normally I might've considered the AD cute.. but of late I've been subject to a lot of MCism and also a lot of prejudices regarding looks. I have come to terms with the fact that we cannot weed out these prejudices and women (of late men too) will be subject to such insults regarding their complexion or height or the lack of it. I am dead against criticizing or putting down people because of their physical deformities (except overweight coz that is most of the time due to carelessness and needs to be checked) . And considering bespectacled people ugly is one thing I simply cannot tolerate. Excuse the narcissism, but I wear glasses and I think I look equally pretty with or without them.

We have always considered teenagers impressionable and have come across endless discussions on how one should not pressurize them about how they look. I have read hundreds of articles about how such prejudices should not be created and how it creates pressure among adults.

And now these guys decide to regress and create pressure among kids. They have enough things to worry about already (homework growing tall, which cartoon channel to watch). Do we have to create complexes among them about how they look. And also that people will look ONLY if you go around in a car. puhleez!!give them a break.

i'm feeling good in a special way
ur smile takes my breath away
you are the sunshine that makes my day

My heart soars in the cloudless sky,
like a bird i'm gonna fly
let me soak up all the morning rays
i'm feeling good in a special way
you are the sunshine that makes my day

your smile lights up the skies
when the sunlight twinkles thru ur sparkly eyes
I long to watch that special sunrise
i'm feeling good in a special way
you are the sunshine that makes my day

my pain has gone with yesterday
life seems pristine today
a special gift from the new day
i'm feeling good in a special way
you are the sunshine that makes my day

No entry

Sign in a temple "No entry for slippers!!"

I'd want a pair that could enter on it's own!

Happy memories in WASE

Such wonderful days they were
I had to study no more
Tired of having so much fun
I went to visit a friend of mine

She said there was an interview
Please accompany me.. will you?
I went coz i had nothing better to do
was surprised as she did not, but I got through

Confident yet scared I stood in line
Telling myself everything would be fine
Saw a lady pushing everyone as she walked
came to know later, she holds ur hand when she talks

A quiet looking girl came over
and said let us go in together
we ended up sitting together for more than a year
She did DCI, I did KM, but we were still near

A fair, cute girl told me we were destined to meet
we missed meeting earlier, that we meet is fate.
A dimpled girl rode on my bike and we were quite a pair
from pani puris to bus rides we had a lot to share

The curly haired brat was such a pain
I swore I'd trip her if I'd meet her again
Slowly she danced her way into my heart
Now, only a mirror can tell us apart.

The lanky girl asked if my body doesn't ache
thanks to my heavy earrings and long drives on my bike
She dances with gusto and her song is loud and clear
She is so much fun to be with and is such a dear

The bright eyed girl wanted to know if i wore lipstick
A laugh riot I tell you, she's one funny chic
I fought with the short boy coz he wanted to sit in the front
I did not know back then that he was stuffed with talent

The wild haired boy wondered if i lost my hair band
He was the right seasoning in a life which was bland
Exams, movies, lunches, dinners and bike rides too
Together all the time, ppl joked that we were stuck with glue

The chubby boy was interesting so we chatted
'sir, ma'am will u please listen?' The faculty requested
The fair boy's baby I stole, coz it looked underfed
He probably thinks I'm a bitch and fame is all I wanted

The long haired girl gave everything an artistic touch
To wear a saree she does not need a reason as such
The fair skinned girl and the talkative boys took the same bus
Journeys to work were never boring for us

The two skinny boys taught me how to dance
the lanky girl got one in a trance
I chat with the other one almost everyday
I wonder why he's not online today

Fifteen hundred days and a hundred new faces
Each with a different Mindset, all from different places
I wouldn't really say they were wonderful days
But these are a few happy memories from WASE

Someone could be jealous of you!

This is something my buddy pinki wrote.. and I love it



I was waiting for the office bus to arrive, with my face clutched in a tight frown

In a minute the bus would be here and I will reach my desk even before the crack of dawn.

Cursing my inabilities for being stuck with this worthless job,

I glared at my watch in anguish. . . Bus should have been here by now!!



Someone tapped on my shoulder, taking no notice of my angry gaze

I turned around with reluctance; and there stood my friend with a sparkling smile on her face

With her vision locked on my ID card, she enquired all about my unworthy job

It was so apparent she was looking for one such post, it made no sense that I started whining to her about my ill-fated course

I was in no mood to talk… thankfully she left soon. I guess she sensed my hesitance.

A loud horn creaked into my ears … it was my office bus that braked through my thought process,

I looked at my watch again, today it is Five minutes late…!!



I grinned slightly as a little something popped in my mind,

May be there really is nothing to worry about, happiness could be within me only if I try to find

I suddenly started to feel creditable for my worthy job

Coz while I was mourning my life, Somebody envied me and my ID card!!

Platform no 5

I went to the railway station last week to see my mom off on a piligrimage. The train was at platform -4. As I walked up the bridge to get to platform number 4, I saw the board "Way to platform no 5". This brought back a very funny memory.

Last year my family (me, mom 'n dad) , my aunt and two of my cousins (her kids) were to go on a trip to vizag. On that day my sis and I were to start @ work around 3:30 PM and reach the railway station. Though we work in the same area we planned to go seperately.I was to board the train @ secunderabad with my parents, and she at nampally with her mom and bro.

I reached the station at 4:45 pm and was waiting for the train on platform no 1. My bro called me at that time and asked me where I was, I said I was waiting on the platform for the train. He said ok and cut the call. I confirmed from a porter if I was on the right platform and he said yes.

After a few minutes, my bro called me again and he was literally bellowing into the phone "Where are you? The trains about to start."

I thought the train was to depart at 5:45. But he said no, it's leavin right now. I asked him if my parents had reached but he did not reply. I was in total confusion. There was no train on platform no 1. I asked him which platform and he said platform no 5. And then I ran, I must have never run harder in my life, I run quite fast for my height, but it had been ages since I ran. I reached platform no 5 in exactly 30 seconds.

By this time my brother was shouting into the phone. He was like "get into ANY compartment. you can find us later. The train is moving" but the train on platform on 5 was not moving. It was a train to vizag, but it was NOT moving. I told him the same. He said "we are on godavari express. platform no 5 does not mean 1-2-3-4-5. It means 1, 2-3, 4-5" This was exactly how he said it. I WAS on the right platform. But the train was not moving AND it was not godavari.

Here's the conversation between us. I'm writing it in telugu as we spoke.

He: ayyo train vellipotundi. ekkava leda? (the trains moving. are you on board or not?)
Me(still running, pushing and shoving): Ledu ee train ikkade undi.ma mummy vallu ekkara? (No, the trains not moving yet. Are my folks there?)
He(agitated): Train vellipoyindi. nuvvu tondaraga secunderabad vellu. akkada catch cheyyi. ( The trains left. You go to secunderabad quickly and catch the train there.)
Me(took a few seconds for what he said to sink in): Nenu secunderabad lone unnanu. (I am at secunderabad).

And then both of us started laughing our heads off. I told him I'll talk to him after THEY come to secunderabad and cut the call. Then I slowly dragged myself back to platform no 1, bought myself a coooooold drink and sank onto a bench. I could not even laugh as I was alone and people would think I was mad.(I very much looked the part, thanks to all the running.) Finally, my parents reached the station and I told them what happened. after some time the train arrived. and the moment we saw each other all of us started laughing again. It then struck me that I never mentioned to my aunt or cousins that I would board the train at secunderabad. They assumed I would come to namaplly as it was closer to where I work.

Journeys to vizag were never so much fun :)
