Durga's Random Thoughts.

Maharani Gayathri Devi, 'The Enduring Elegance', Sexiest to [even!] Shah Rukh, One of the most beautiful for the world, And one of those rare women I admire, passed away. After nine decades of a happening life. Not in another 4-5 centuries will this world see a person like that again. It is a loss. I mourn.

And Abhimanyu, is an altogether different story. It was Karthik, unlike the other four, who brought him to us. And he was brought to us, to rehabilitate. From drugs, drinks and smoking. "He will be with us, for the rest of our time together here. Needs support." This is how Karthik introduced him to us. Varsha and I were curious about it. And a bit apprehensive. But to my and Karthik's amazement, [Donno wat Varsha felt. She never wore her feelings on her sleeves.] Shyama went over and started to talk to him. Within no time, Abhimanyu felt at home and started mingling with us. Well. Abhimanyu recovered from his addictions. And needless to say, Shyama and Abhimanyu became really close. Only with Abhimanyu's development, did I finally find any change in Karthik's attitude towards Shyama. Karthik once said it's Shyama who brought him back."I cant deny him that credit." So, that is how we met. We became "kewl" friends. Met every day, under the ...

Then comes my dear Shyama Krishna! Talkative. The first thing I noticed about him was his talkativeness... God! He can blah blah to the end of the world. And mingle with any group. A sweetheart with gals. Woo any gal within ten minutes... Not that he wooed me... The first time we met, we had a small 'fight'. 'Cos, nothing very crucial is needed for me to blast. One day, while I was sitting on one of the benches, writing something, he walked over and started off with a grin and a "Hello sweetie! How ya doin? " "Am not anyone's sweetie. And mind your business." I retorted "Oh! I really like your attitude" "Thanks. But you now mind your business." "It is my business to greet a beautiful gal like you.." "Really? I would rather be left alone." "I think when you are angry, your blush makes you look better." "Hey man! You are crossing the limits. I never asked you to tell me what you think about me. Ok?...

Thought I would do a small work. It seems really ridiculous, I thought, to identify all my group mates with their full names. But then I smiled... 'Cos,when I was in my K.G. classes, I used to do the same.. They used to scold me at first when we got together. I have changed it, now. But, my friends had already started to identify themselves using their full names. And now, Karthik P., Shyama Krishna, Varsha Chowdary and Abhimanyu Sharma. And me, Durga Nandan. I call them just their first names... Ah! I sometimes think.. Why do people get so influenced by friends? Even though it is just a year, that we had been together, we do have a bond between us. Invisible. Strong. Karthik - tops the class. He knows about everything that runs under the sun. Ask him about anything that you would like to, he has his own views and knowledge about it.. I really wondered how he ended up at such a place.. He should have been doing some work there in the Harvard. Instead doing Political Science here......

I somehow have a hunch that Ajmal 'Kasab' is telling the truth.

God is playing golf! Yeah. He is damn bored. Or he is dead. He aint at work!

One of my bros work in a sister concern of a church that takes care of mentally disturbed people. Now one day, I went with him to see the establishment. He always mentioned how the people there [mostly mentally disturbed.] would make you think if it was you or them who had problems with minds. Anyways, we were received by the in charge priest, who was walking in the garden. Getting back into the office, he suddenly said "You know, I think we need to call the Tech Help people again." "Why ? What is wrong now?" Bro asked. " We had those guys come and check the whole lappy yesterday! You got a virus into it again?" "No no... Not a virus. Everything is fine. Just that the laptop wont switch on now. There are lights and all on and blinking. But the thing wont work!" We went straight to check out. The battery was down and power plug was off the power outlet. And the whole day those guys were watching Passion of Christ on it. So much about the one who r...

"She is the one who said 5+5 is 11." A baffled glare. I grinned. Embarrassed. :D "No sir! Not that one!" "Why not? Not many people are that good." Turning to the guy seated in front of us, "She was the one who said 5+5 is 11." Once, I was kinda day dreaming in the English class with a bit of 'ill-logical' puzzles humming around. And sir was talking about an interview, for 10 people, from which, 5 would be selected. Suddenly sir said "They say, they selected five. I say, they rejected five. Interviewing is actually a process of rejection." "Yeah" I thought. "You interview people even for friendship. And reject them when you dont like them." Sir continued... "Anyways, the number is the same. 5 on each side. 5+5. Total 10." "No sir! 11!" "What?" Glares and sneers . I was out of my dreamland and realized what I just said. "Yes sir. 5 selected. 5 rejected. And the interviewer....

No no no!! That was a mistake. I meant, 'Yeah! What? Guys are really mean!'

Talked a lot today. Lost my voice. :) It has been looooooooooong since I talked like that.

These days, I am on an edge. A real edge. Just go flying off handle for the slightest things. I know why. But can't reason with myself that things have changed. Poor lil mind wont just accept. Soon, people are going to find the ends of their patience. Lots already found it. One of my very close friends already had his first date. I was really late catching up with news. Cos every time I knew someone was feeling better, I became all the more gloomy. He thought he would rather not break the news that soon. :) And I had shunned social contact for a long time. Another, already is fighting marriage. Nah, it seems it is really a trouble when parents decide it is time. And you are not ready. Anyways, I see the pressure right now. And pissed him off a lot cos I was not really understanding and added to the din with my blah blah. Another, already looking forward to being dumped. I had seen it coming a long way now. But then, it hurts anyways. Emotionally, this is the lowest if you don...

Life goes on, promises broken, kids born. But.. nothing left. Hearts broken, yet trying to mend. With no hope or want, to meet again. Yet, fearing a meeting. 'Cos you can't stop life, from going on. And going on... 'Morrow, meeting the other, with someone else, will [might] hurt. All the more if, it is a happy lot. But chances are taken, 'Cos, you cant stop life from going on, Just 'cos you are now, divorced.

അകതാരു കീറുന്ന മുളംതണ്ട്‌ പോലെ, കരയുന്ന കിളിയുടെ പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥന പോലെ, മുറുകാത്ത വീണതന്‍ മണിനാദം പോലെ, പൊലിയാന്‍ തുടങ്ങുന്ന ദീപനാളം പോലെ, കരവേല ചെയ്ത കര്ത്താവിനോടായ്, ഒരു ചോദ്യം മാത്രം പതിവായ്‌ ഉണര്‍ത്തി! ഇനിയെന്ത് പാപത്തിന്‍ പരിഹാരമാണ് ഞാന്‍, അര്‍പിച്ചു തിര്‍ക്കാത്തു കല്‍പ്പിച്ചു ചൊന്നാലും! ഒരു മാറ്റൊലി മാത്രമായി, തിരികെ വന്നാ സംശയം എന്നോട് കൊഞ്ഞനം കുത്തി. ഞാന്‍ പിന്നെയും, ഒരു മുളം തണ്ടായി, പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥനയായ്, നാദമായ്‌ നാളമായ്‌, ജീവന്ത!

കാമാര്‍ദ്രയായി ഞാന്‍ വൃന്ദാവനത്തിലെ, വള്ളിക്കുടിലിലേക്കിന്നലേ പോകവേ, വഴിവക്കിലുരുമര കൊമ്പിലെ പക്ഷികള്‍ പ്രേമാര്‍ദ്രരായി കൊക്കുകള്‍ ഉരുമ്മിയിരിക്കുന്നു. പിന്നെയും ചെന്നങ്ങു പാടവരമ്പത്ത്‌ നിന്നപ്പോള്‍, ഗോതമ്പു കതിരായി ആടിയുലയുന്നു. പാടം കടന്നുരുകാതം പിന്നെയും ചെന്നപ്പോള്‍, തഴുതിട്ട വീട്ടിലെ നിര്‍വൃതി കേട്ടു ഞാന്‍. എല്ലാം കടന്നെന്റെ പ്രിയതമന്റെ കുടിലിലേക്കെത്തി ഞാന്‍, കണ്ടത് പ്രേമാര്‍ദ്ര മിഥുനത്തെയാണഹോ! തിരികെ നടക്കുമ്പോള്‍, എന്റെ കണ്ണന്റെ, ഗോപനന്ദന്റെ പൊള്ളയാം ആശ്രുതം ഓര്‍ത്തോര്‍ത്തു തേങ്ങിക്കരഞ്ഞു ഞാന്‍. പോകും വഴിക്കുള്ള വീടിന്റെ മുറ്റത്ത്‌, ചുണ്ടും ചുവപ്പിച്ച് നില്ക്കും തിലോത്തമ! പിന്നെയും ചെന്നിട്ട് പാടത്ത് നോക്യപ്പോ, കതിരിന്റെ ഇടയില് ചീവീടും കളകളും. പാടത്തിനപ്പുറം, മരത്തിന്റെ താഴത്ത്, വേടന്റെ അമ്പേറ്റ് പിടയുന്ന പക്ഷികള്‍. എന്റെ വ്യര്‍ഥമാം മോഹവും വിറക്കും കരങ്ങളും, എന്തിനോ വേണ്ടി പിന്നെയും വെമ്പുന്നു.
