Crush

Three simple steps to a huge crush

1. Notice attractive attributes in a person, eg - dimples, nice hands, good heart etc.
2. Realise both the futility and impropiety of the entire situation.
3. Hate yourself and wonder whether this sort of thing afflicts only morons like you.


Nope, nothing like a good old fashioned crush to make you feel like an idiot.

List of songs I heard a year late

One of my favourite things about college was the fact that there were always setting suns or starry skies or rain that went so well with the music I was listening to. These days whenever I hear a song that I really like the images are all in my head and no longer right in front of me. But I'm happy that there are still songs that I haven't heard. Yet, every once in a while I hear a song that I know I would have listened to on repeat and driven a certain long suffering room-mate crazy with. So here's a tiny list of great songs that I missed out on in those 5 years, just to make myself feel happy.

1. Ten Million Slaves by Otis Taylor
This song has such a cool opening, I first heard it on the Public Enemies Soundtrack and it made me want to put on a checked shirt and run through some fields chasing outlaws. I would have so listened to it every morning before class.

2.Down by the Seaside by Led Zeppelin
I don't know how Z and I missed this song during all that time in college. But then again I was never very creative with my playlists. After a while I just got too lazy to even bother looking through the music that I already had on my computer.

3. Hey, hey, my,my AND My,my, hey, hey by Neil Young. Again, another example of classic laziness. Once I discovered Helpless I sort of decided that Neil Young couldn't get any better and overlooked his folder altogether. Boy, was I wrong.

4. Junkie Doll by Mark Knopfler. I think I've already gotten a little sick of it, but its on my phone now, to listen to once a day and wish I was lying on the hostel terrace not worrying about tomorrow.

So that's my list. Pretty pointless. But in any case - Sunsets, I miss listening to music with you.

Ode to an ink blot

When I get pushed into the past, old wounds open up too easily.

And as I walk ahead I wonder if the years that have gone by offer any salve. Its a bit like insult to injury.

But the worst part of it all is that I can't even have a cup of tea with you and feel better.

Oh to be with you, all tangled up in blue. :)

There must be someway out of here.

I've realised that I use rhyme to simplify my lifeand break up time.To parcel out my laughs and tears. It works a while and them seems empty. As if reducing everything to little pieces can somehow trivialise what I feel. So that I'm not so scared when I stop and think.


So when everything seems just right,

but still I lie awake at night.

Wondering if I'll let it go

when all the world is quiet and slow.

Outside the earth moves ever on,

night gives way to breaking dawn.

And I wonder will I ever be free

of these swaying thoughts of you and me?

So I guess this is my symphony

I'm still running apparent-ly.

So don't ever leave my darling sweet.

Without you life'd be incomplete.
